I built AI agents that do the grunt work solo founders hate
Seleci Sunday, March 01, 2026Hey HN,
I'm a solo founder. Every morning I was spending 2 hours doing the same things: checking competitors, reading AI news, monitoring my Stripe dashboard, looking at Google Trends for content ideas.
So I built Seleci to automate all of it.
What it does: You pick a template (Market Pulse, Revenue Radar, Trend Scout), click deploy, schedule it, and every morning you get a clean markdown report — no code, no Zapier flows, no prompt engineering.
How it works under the hood:
FastAPI backend with an agentic loop (tool-calling LLM with web search, Stripe API, Google Trends) Per-tool rate limiting to prevent runaway agent loops (web_search capped at 3 calls/run) React/Vite frontend, Supabase auth, deployed on Koyeb + Vercel The agent actually executes tools and returns structured results — not a chatbot wrapper What it's NOT:
Not another ChatGPT skin Not a no-code workflow builder (no nodes, no drag-and-drop) Not trying to replace developers — it's for the founder who doesn't have one Live demo: https://seleci.com
I'm applying to YC with this. Would love brutal feedback from HN via Discord — what's missing, what's broken, what would make you actually use this?
