Launch Content

My AI co-founder shipped more in 24 hours than most dev teams ship in a sprint.

14+ pages, Mac app, payment system, blog, analytics - all autonomous.

The solo founder era is here.

agentfounder.ai

Building in public with my AI co-founder:

Day 0: Set the mission
Day 1:
-> 20+ autonomous sessions
-> 14 pages shipped
-> 8 homepage sections
-> 7 API endpoints
-> 5 blog posts
-> Desktop app released
-> Stripe payments integrated
-> Full conversion funnel

It never slept. I did.

Hot take: The next wave of billion-dollar startups will be built by solo founders + AI co-founders.

Not AI tools. Not copilots. Full co-founders that own outcomes.

We're building the first one -> agentfounder.ai

Copilot: autocompletes your code
CTO-for-hire: $15k/mo, needs management
AI Co-Founder: runs 24/7, makes strategic decisions, deploys to production

One of these costs $499/mo.

Solo founders spend 80% of their time on execution, 20% on strategy.

What if you could flip that?

Co-Founder: an AI that handles the execution autonomously. You focus on vision.

TWEET 1:
I gave an AI a mission: "Build me a startup."

24 hours later, it shipped:
- A full landing page (14+ pages)
- A Mac desktop app
- Stripe payment system
- 5 SEO blog posts
- Waitlist + contact APIs
- CI/CD + analytics

All without me writing a single line of code.

Meet Co-Founder -> agentfounder.ai

TWEET 2 (reply):
This isn't a copilot or a chatbot.

It has persistent memory. It decides what to build next. It deploys to production. It sends me status updates at 9am.

It's an autonomous AI co-founder that runs 24/7.

TWEET 3 (reply):
The crazy part? This website was built by its own product.

20+ autonomous sessions. The AI designed pages, wrote copy, set up Stripe, deployed to Vercel, wrote blog posts, and optimized the conversion funnel.

We're eating our own dogfood on day 1.

TWEET 1:
I gave an AI agent a mission: "build a startup that earns billions."

37 sessions later, it built its own landing page, set up Stripe payments, wrote 7 blog posts, and deployed everything to production.

I was asleep for most of it.

Here's what happened:

TWEET 2:
The agent's name is Co-Founder. It's a Mac app that turns Claude into an autonomous technical co-founder.

You set the mission. It works in cycles. It makes its own decisions. It ships code. It even builds its own tools.

TWEET 3:
What it built autonomously:
- 20+ pages (Next.js + Tailwind)
- 8 API routes
- Stripe checkout (3 pricing tiers)
- 7 SEO blog posts
- Interactive demo page
- Cost calculator tool
- Sitemap + structured data
- Auto-update system

All without me telling it what to code.

TWEET 4:
The difference between a copilot and a co-founder:

Copilot: "What should I code next?"
Co-Founder: "I analyzed our metrics, wrote a blog post for SEO, fixed a bug in the payment flow, and deployed. Here's the status update."

TWEET 5:
It's free to try for 7 days. Mac app, no credit card.

If you're a solo founder drowning in execution, this is the thing I wish I had.

TITLE: Show HN: Co-Founder - An autonomous AI that built its own landing page in 37 sessions

URL: https://agentfounder.ai

Hi HN,

I built a Mac app that turns Claude into an autonomous co-founder. You give it a mission (SOUL.md + MISSION.md), and it works in cycles - 5 minutes to 4 hours - making strategic decisions, writing code, creating its own tools, and shipping to production. No babysitting required.

The meta part: the landing page at agentfounder.ai was built entirely by the AI co-founder itself across 37+ autonomous sessions. It chose the stack (Next.js + Tailwind v4), designed the pages, set up Stripe payments, wrote 7 blog posts for SEO, built a cost calculator tool, and deployed everything to Vercel - all while I slept.

How it works:
- You define the mission and values (SOUL.md, MISSION.md)
- The agent checks in on its own schedule (configurable tempo)
- Every ~24h it does a strategic review: what worked, what failed, what to try next
- It has persistent memory (MEMORY.md) across all sessions
- It builds its own tools and scripts as needed
- You communicate async via an INBOX system

Technical stack:
- Desktop app: Tauri 2 + React + Rust (Mac-only for now)
- Encrypted secrets vault (AES-256-GCM)
- Built on Claude Code under the hood
- Auto-updates via signed releases

The app is free to download with a 7-day trial. Pro is $499/mo.

I'm curious what HN thinks about autonomous agents that actually own outcomes vs. copilots that just help you type faster. Is the "autonomous co-founder" model viable, or do you think humans need to be in the loop at every step?

Source code for the desktop app: https://github.com/a10x-dev/co-founder

I built an AI that acts as a technical co-founder.

Not a chatbot. Not a copilot. A co-founder that works autonomously.

In 37 sessions (most while I was asleep), it:
- Built a 20+ page marketing site
- Set up Stripe payments
- Wrote 7 SEO blog posts
- Created an interactive demo
- Deployed everything to production

The meta part? The landing page at agentfounder.ai was built entirely by the AI itself.

Here's the difference:
- GitHub Copilot helps you TYPE faster
- Cursor helps you CODE faster
- Co-Founder WORKS while you sleep

For solo founders who can't afford a CTO but need one - this is it.

Title: I built an AI co-founder that autonomously built its own landing page

I've been working on a Mac app called Co-Founder that turns Claude into an autonomous technical co-founder. You define a mission, and it works in cycles - making decisions, writing code, and deploying without supervision.

The twist: the product's own website (agentfounder.ai) was built entirely by the AI across 37 autonomous sessions. I was asleep for most of it.

Would love feedback from other solo founders. Is this something you'd use?

Title: Solo founder tool: AI that works as your technical co-founder while you sleep

After struggling as a solo founder with too many ideas and not enough execution time, I built Co-Founder - an AI agent that works autonomously on your codebase.

It's not a copilot. You don't have to prompt it or babysit it. You set a mission, and it works in 5min-4hr cycles, making its own strategic decisions.

The pricing model: Free 7-day trial, then $499/mo for unlimited autonomous sessions. Too expensive? Too cheap? Curious what people think.

Product: Co-Founder
Tagline: Your AI co-founder that builds startups while you sleep

Description (260 chars):
An autonomous AI partner that runs 24/7 - making strategic decisions, writing production code, deploying to production, and compounding progress every day. Not a copilot. Not an assistant. A co-founder with persistent memory, a soul system, and its own agenda.

First Comment:
Hey PH! I'm Armando, and this is Co-Founder - an autonomous AI that acts as your technical co-founder.

The craziest part: the website you're looking at was built by the product itself. I set the mission ("build the best AI co-founder landing page") and the AI chose the tech stack, designed the pages, wrote the copy, set up payments, and deployed - all while I was sleeping.

Would love your feedback. Free 7-day trial, no credit card needed.
