You're not alone, I don't get it either and this market is extremely crowded with many agent tools popping up everyday.

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?

It’s definitely a crowded space, totally agree about it. honestly for us we didn't want to commit to a specific provider, whether that's grok or openai. So we decided to go with a harness that lets us switch models easily when one is down, or when another provider comes out with a new improved model

Yep. OrcaBot has all these features. Free on desktop.

It's been out for 6 months.

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.
