Hessian

Hessian is the platform for automating business operations with AI agents. We forward deploy on-site to map the work, and build the agents on our platform to run it end-to-end. Unlike off-the-shelf tools that don't know your business, you get a partner that owns the software and operates it every day. Why now? Coding agents have matured to the point where, combined with our engineering judgment we've built across a decade of shipping production systems, we can scale forward-deployed engagements

Similarity graph

Local clusters rerank extracted product concepts and description terms. The generated graph remains the fallback for sparse descriptions: offline reciprocal product-similarity graph: extracted concepts + description terms + bounded category/affiliation boosts. Minimum fallback score: 0; max competitors: 6.

Light Anchor

match 44

Light Anchor (YC P26) builds AI-run consumer brands that run at the speed of compute. Consumer brands have always been limited by the speed of humans: hiring, coordinating, and sleeping. AI agents that now run operations end-to-end break all those constraints, making a new kind of consumer business possible: one capped by compute, not headcount. Today, Light Anchor operates one flagship brand and multiple experiment stores, all run by AI agents on a shared platform that compounds with every new

Linzumi

match 36

Linzumi is the chat your engineering team uses to direct dozens of AI coding agents. Kick off work, review it, ship it. All from chat. See every agent's work. Unblock the agents that need you from your laptop, your phone, the coffee line. Your teammates see it too. Every decision your team makes compiles into a source of truth - what to build, why it changed, how your agents should act. That same source generates new work and verifies completed work. Deliberative alignment, repurposed from align
