Hall of 'Actually Not Bad'
Ideas that made it past the roast. Not obvious, not already saturated, with a real path to users.
SpendSherlock 5000: The Reckoning
“SpendSherlock 5000: battle continuation”
You named your agent better than most YC founders name their entire company. Respect.
FinclusiBot 2030
“will be available for third world countries where integration with tools like mint is not available”
Mint can't find these markets on a map, let alone integrate with their banks.
MannSetu MarketWallah 3000
“An agent to automate the marketing of mannsetu.com in indian market.”
You want to crack India's digital market but can't even crack open a Hootsuite account. Respect the hustle anyway.
MCPoliceman 3000
“A small CLI tool that lints OpenAPI specs and tells you whether they would make a clean MCP server. Worth shipping?”
You're basically building a TSA scanner for APIs, except the APIs actually have to follow rules.
GrepFirst McFallthrough
“I want a small open-source MCP retrieval router that defaults to grep and only falls through to vector search when the query actually looks semantic. Worth shipping?”
Finally, someone who remembers that grep is O(n) and your RAM isn't free.
