Grading our (successful) YC application from S20

cristinaibunea — Tue, 09 Jan 2024 21:05:31 +0000

After YC we crossed $1M ARR, raised two rounds ($24M total), and are currently a team of 30. Our product changed A LOT from our YC days, but the mission/problem statement has remained the same. Thought it'd be fun to go back and see what we'd do differently. Team is happy to answer any questions!

Show HN: Make any mobile app easier to use with AI (CommandBar Mobile;YC S20)

cristinaibunea — Wed, 08 Nov 2023 13:42:19 +0000

Hi HN,

I'm Cristina from CommandBar (YC S20). You've heard how lack of focus kills startups. We were afraid of this too.

So for the past 3 years, we built “user assistance” tools for desktop and web apps only. (Stuff like an embedded Copilot trained on your product, cmd+k search, nudges, etc.)

It took a lot of self-convincing but we’ve decided to finally launch all of this for mobile today too.

In hindsight, we actually regret not doing it sooner.

The more we dug into customer feedback, the more we realized how much more pronounced the problems we're solving on desktop are on mweb and native apps. Screen real estate is much more reduced, user patience is lower, and the status quo for helping users on mobile is generally bad — lots of interrupting, untimely pop-ups. Plus the dreaded in-app browser.

Today we're launching CommandBar for mobile, which lets you embed CommandBar's most popular in-product experiences into your mobile web, React Native, iOS, and Android apps:

- Copilot: an AI-powered assistant for users to take actions without having to look through all the possible mobile screens you have in your app. Works with voice commands, too. - HelpHub: make it easy for users to find training content, tutorials, etc. No in-app browser in sight. - Nudges: announce stuff to users in non-annoying ways, using advanced targeting (like asking for a 5-star review after a magic moment, not 3 seconds after they've opened the app for the first time).

We've built SDKs to get this added to your mobile app. After that, anyone on your team can create and ship experiences using the no-code editor. You also don't need to go through the App Store review cycle to get these up and running.

Here's a more in-depth look at CommandBar for mobile: https://commandbar.com/mobile

Would love to hear feedback!
