This is really interesting, congrats on the launch. The use case I’m trying to solve for is building a coding agent platform that reliably sets up our development stack well. Few questions! In my case, I’m trying to build a one-shot coding agent platform that nicely spins up a docker-in-docker Supabase environment, runs a NextJS app, and durably listens to CI and iterates.

1) Can I use this with my ChatGPT pro or Claude max subscription? 2)

This demo started out as really cool - but the very first generated was terrible (in that it actually would have been very negative for our brand) Happy to discuss what exactly was problematic with you guys - so please take my comment constructively.

You should try www.betterbrain.com/insurance! It covers this set of bloodwork and 92% of covered patients pay $0

This is really interesting! Pretty remarkable that the key insight isn't just about crossing the BBB—it's about repairing the transport machinery itself.

We're building BetterBrain around this insight—catching vascular and metabolic risk factors that compromise BBB integrity years before severe pathology. Not replacing breakthrough therapies like this, but complementing them by intervening earlier in the cascade. (www.betterbrain.com/insurance if anyone would like to try - its $0 with most insurance plans)

adi4213 — Thu, 16 Oct 2025 20:53:07 +0000

Congrats on the fundraise! I've been a fan of Counsel and admire Muthu's bullishness around asynchronous care delivery.

Overall, I felt the human-clinician side of the product worked quite well - the providers responded quite quickly, were well informed, and resulted in a quick turnaround to getting an Rx or some manner of outcome.

On the AI side, I would caution that your team really needs to work quite hard to maintain a defensible moat here.

> Other chatbots can’t connect to your medical records to provide personalized advice. They’re also not trained on the latest evidence-based research and can’t bring a physician into the conversation. With Counsel, you get medical-grade AI support backed by physician oversight, ensuring safe, high-quality care

"can’t connect to your medical records to provide personalized advice" - while I think Counsel's HIE integrations seem to work well (the AI responded with relevant data it had on me from the exchange), that's is reasonably easy to build (which does sound like the famous Dropbox comment).

"They’re also not trained on the latest evidence-based research" - on this note, I'd be curious if Counsel is capable of doing meaningful post-training to meet this endpoint (I'd assume it's not worth the resources to explore any manner of post-training). It strikes me as a good example of Sam Altman's steamrolling comment - I'd imagine the next waive of frontier models will represent a much greater level of health inference than post-training a current frontier model will accomplish.

tl;dr - I found myself immediately skipping over the AI functionality but did find the human physicians on Counsel's app to work great.

Granted, I'm curious to see the company's direction long-term — perhaps along the lines of a16z's healthcare superstaffing thesis (which sounds compelling) or aiming to have most encounters be between a user and AI (which I'm more bearish about, though it's definitely going to happen one day, of course).

I think the key is remind yourself is that an engineer is supposed to solve business problems. So use these new tools to be more effective in doing so. An analogy is that people used to spend tons of time building out web server code but something like Django added tremendously useful abstractions and patterns to doing so, which allowed people to more productively add business value

This is very much part of the motivation behind BetterBrain, the wait for an in-network neurologist is often 6+ months, but the wait for one of the few in-person dementia prevention clinics can be years (and cost thousands out of pocket). If your insurance plan covers BetterBrain, definitely recommend giving our insurance covered option a try to meet with a clinician as soon as next week. We do have a free option, with the ability to purchase bloodwork and additional testing.

Yes, there are indeed paid options! We regularly support clients who travel to NY or Vermont for bloodwork. Our co-founder is Canadian and we work with many clients from Canada.

Show HN: BetterBrain – Dementia prevention, covered by insurance

adi4213 — Fri, 03 Oct 2025 02:03:05 +0000

Hey all! I’ve been building BetterBrain for the past few months, which is the first dementia prevention program entirely covered by insurance. BetterBrain combines expert clinicians, comprehensive testing and state of the art AI - and for many insurance plans is $0. Research shows that dementia can be detected up to 20 years in advance. Despite this, many people at risk of dementia overlook regular brain health assessments. Many members of our founding team have family members affected by neurodegenerative disease.

We’re also hiring aggressively if anyone is interested in changing the future of treating neurodegenerative disease.

Would love to talk to anyone interested https://www.betterbrain.com/insurance

I think there are even more basic table stakes that were missed here well prior to conducting any manner of formal compliance auditing - like unauthenticated users accessing this database!

This is neat but I wasn’t able to get it to work (server overloaded is what the browser app said) I’d also recommend registering a custom domain in Supabase so the Google SSO shows the golpo domain - which is a small, but professional-signaling affordance

Hey HN!

I built a tool to help a family friend analyze their restaurant's online presence, and I want to share it with you all. I noticed that most similar tools out there are really expensive and pushy with their sales.

My goal was to create something useful and straightforward that genuinely helps business owners understand how they appear on Google and other platforms. I'd love to get your feedback on it!

Hey Seth and Ayo - congrats on this launch. While I think there’s certainly room for improvement, which I’ll address below - this demo makes me feel that you both can keep grinding and succeed with this. The main feedback I have is similar to others who asked how this is better than Cursor running with a react native codebase and iOS simulator running on the side. I read your response about being better at iOS/android specific things could be the case (for example, making it really nail payments and subscriptions could be useful) - but it is definitely going to be a tough battle. If someone can only use your platform and reliably have a react native codebase (version controlled on GitHub), with working Supabase auth, and fully synced with Expo (so basically almost ready to go)- that would be pretty cool! I also think there’s room for you guys to add value around some of the other annoying parts of launching a native app. If your app was able to automatically make App Store creatives and essentially publish the app for me with some user-promoting - that would be sick

Are you looking for a job? I’m hiring a software engineer and was definitely impressed by reading this story! Regardless, you should definitely consider working at a startup - the world is full of annoying gatekeepers to innovation.
