Then after I listened to Garry’s talk on Gbrain last week I thought why not give it a try.
So connected my email and calendar to a simple agent I built via MCP and I get a summery of important emails and also delete all non important ones.
Still a WIP: https://github.com/rukshn/zen
But I agree the space is very much crowded
Some closed source, lots that are open source, hundreds of thousands and many which are completely vibecoded.
I feel that YC just invests in anything these days.
I mean, I don't see a moat here.
Like, why this over Grok Bot or anything that Anthropic or OpenAI would make for their 900M+ users?
Or is that the goal all along? Get acquired by a lab?
When there is a popular gold rush, YC invests in many companies that do the same thing with the expectation that 1) a rising tide lifts all ships, and 2) if there is a clear winner, they have eggs in every basket.
It's been out for 6 months.
