I don’t understand why this needs to be a y combinator project. Does the LLM prompt funnel my data out of the browser to Tweeks affiliates? Shouldn’t this just be an open source project?


I agree that it should be open-source, but I think it can still be a YC company. Improving the user experience on the web is definitely a billion-dollar market.


It's a freaking browser extension. Not trying to insult anyone or be negative, but I genuinely don't understand why anyone would invest money into this.


I think the reason to invest is that they think it's an attractive browser feature and they think it might be acquired by Google or Arc or OpenAI.


Either they are smarter than I am or they have no idea what they're doing.

Its hype and rise, or it's trust-betrayal and downfall?


Yes ;)


the only valid reasons to participate in hacker news is to get your startup funded, to get hired by one of the yc startups, or to sell something. it doesn't really make sense to participate in this forum anymore, otherwise, especially if you are just giving people free product development advice.


Respectfully disagree. Why is it colloquially known as "Hacker News", and not say "Startup Forum"? My favorite articles & content on Hacker News are where I stay up to date on technology and what people are doing--which is very literally inline with the name "Hacker News".
