Automation
Asteroid is a full-stack platform that enables both non-technical users and engineers to build, run, and optimize computer-use AI agents for browser, Linux, and Windows environments. The product focuses on repeatable, mission-critical workflows rather than one-off tasks, emphasizing reliability over breadth. It addresses the challenge of automating systems that lack APIs by leveraging advanced LLMs like Claude Opus 4.6+ to create reliable computer-use agents. The platform supports any interaction mode including visual computer use, structured DOM, or scripted execution across browser, Linux, and Windows desktop environments. It includes a meta-agent called Astro that builds and debugs agents automatically, writes scripts during execution, and makes repeat runs faster and cheaper. Each agent receives a persistent filesystem to store scripts, files, and memories for reuse across runs, along with session persistence to stay signed in and resume where left off. Additional features include dedicated email inboxes for 2FA and notifications, proxy support for stealth browsers and VPNs, live view and recordings with human-in-the-loop checkpoints, and API-first architecture with webhooks, MCPs, and SDKs. Asteroid operates on the principle that it's better to automate 50 complex browser portals extremely reliably than 1,000 at surface level. The platform combines frontier LLMs from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and others with enterprise-grade security including HIPAA and SOC II Type II certification. It provides comprehensive tooling for deployment at scale across critical industries, with built-in audit trails and compliance features essential for healthcare and insurance use cases. The platform is designed for production deployment across startups and enterprises, with over 150,000 executions completed last month alone. It handles complex scenarios including EHRs, benefits portals, insurance carriers, Citrix environments, desktop applications, and VPN-protected systems. The focus on repeatable workflows makes it particularly valuable for organizations with ongoing automation needs rather than one-time tasks. Primary use cases include healthcare interoperability challenges such as EHR and patient record extraction, voice-to-form clinical intake, health insurance enrollment, patient creation and scheduling. Insurance industry applications include policy management, quoting, renewals, endorsements, and claims submission. The platform also supports intelligent scraping across thousands of venue calendars and form filling for government portals, banking dashboards, and internal finance tools.
PTOFlow is a tool designed to streamline paid time off management by integrating directly with Slack and Google Calendar. It addresses the common workplace problem of manually tracking employee availability and managing time-off requests through disjointed systems. The platform handles PTO requests and approvals within Slack, automatically syncs approved time off to Google Calendar, and provides team visibility into who is out of the office. This integration-based approach ensures that everyone on the team can see upcoming absences without needing to ask or check multiple systems. PTOFlow works by creating automated workflows that connect Slack conversations with calendar updates. When an employee requests time off through the system, managers can approve it directly within Slack, and the approved time is automatically reflected on a shared Google Calendar that the whole team can access. The primary benefit is eliminating the manual back-and-forth of PTO management while ensuring calendar visibility across the organization. Teams no longer need to guess who is available or maintain separate tracking spreadsheets, as all approved time off is automatically visible in the shared calendar. Built by Derek Skaletsky using AI-assisted development, PTOFlow targets small to medium-sized businesses that may not use large HR platforms. The product integrates with Slack and Google Calendar, making it suitable for teams already using these workplace tools.
COLDWAVE is an AI-powered cold calling platform that lets users launch outbound calling campaigns without technical expertise. The service enables founders, agency owners, and account executives to automate their cold calling process by simply uploading a contact list and pasting their sales pitch in plain English. The platform handles the entire calling process automatically. Users can upload lists via CSV, spreadsheet, or CRM integration. The AI agent makes calls, handles objections, books meetings directly on the user's calendar, and provides transcripts of all conversations. A single agent can make up to 500 calls per day. COLDWAVE eliminates the need for engineers, complex scripts, or technical setup. The interface is designed to be as simple as using Gmail, making it accessible to sales professionals without technical backgrounds. The platform targets sellers rather than engineers, addressing the gap between powerful cold calling tools and the non-technical users who need them. The service is currently accepting waitlist signups with special offers for early adopters. The first 100 founders receive 50% off for 6 months, and the first 50 signups get white-glove onboarding support. The platform is built with Supabase and is launching today.
Aplica is an AI-powered tool designed to streamline the job application process for freelancers and job seekers. The platform generates personalized cold outreach emails in seconds, eliminating the need for manual rewriting and customization of application messages. Users simply paste a job description that includes the client's email address, and Aplica creates tailored proposals that can be sent directly through Gmail. The core functionality of Aplica centers on its ability to generate custom application emails using artificial intelligence. Instead of spending 5-10 minutes manually editing each application, users can create personalized outreach messages within a minute. The tool automatically incorporates resume and portfolio links into the generated emails, ensuring that all relevant materials are included in the application. This automation allows users to maintain consistent personalization across multiple applications while significantly reducing the time investment required. Aplica's approach to job application automation focuses on eliminating repetitive tasks that freelancers and job seekers face daily. The platform addresses the common frustration of having to rewrite application emails with different introductions, wording, and tweaks for every opportunity. By automating this process, users can apply to more opportunities in less time while maintaining the personal touch that makes applications effective. The integration with Gmail enables seamless sending of generated emails without switching between multiple platforms. The tool has demonstrated significant efficiency gains, with one user reporting the ability to send 73 personalized applications in just 21 minutes and 17 seconds. This represents a dramatic improvement over traditional methods where each application might require individual attention to crafting unique messages. The AI-generated emails are designed to sound human and natural, avoiding the template-like appearance that often characterizes automated outreach. Aplica is particularly suited for freelancers who need to apply to multiple opportunities regularly and job seekers engaged in active job hunting campaigns. The platform offers a first-month subscription for $1, making it accessible for users to test its effectiveness. By reducing the time spent on application writing, users can focus more energy on actual work, skill development, or applying to even more opportunities.
TonesMatch is an AI-powered guitar tone matching tool that provides exact amplifier and pedal settings for your specific gear. Unlike generic AI suggestions, TonesMatch profiles real equipment to ensure every recommended setting actually exists on your amp, guitar, and pedals. The platform contains over 13,000 tones sourced from studio session notes, rig rundowns, and guitar communities. It has profiled 2,000+ guitars, 1,500+ amps, and 879 pedals, mapping their real EQ ranges, channels, and control sets. Users can browse songs for free and get precise knob positions, channel selections, and pedal configurations tailored to their exact rig. TonesMatch works by allowing users to pick any song from its database, add their specific guitar and amp models, and receive exact settings for every knob, channel, and pedal. The system cites its sources so users can verify the information. It supports both guitar and bass tones and offers a free 7-day trial. The tool addresses the common frustration of AI systems providing incorrect settings for specific gear. For example, general AI might suggest using a Rectifier channel on a Boss Katana 50, which doesn't exist, while TonesMatch only recommends settings that are actually available on the user's specific equipment. TonesMatch is designed for guitarists and bassists who want to achieve specific song tones without spending hours experimenting with settings. It won't make budget instruments sound like high-end custom models, but it eliminates the guesswork in dialing in desired tones.

The platform serves as a centralized system for managing all trade compliance activities, replacing fragmented processes with an integrated approach. The infrastructure is positioned as an alternative to traditional customs brokers and freight forwarders, specifically referencing Flexport's original promise before becoming what the company describes as a "normal customs broker / forwarder." This suggests MarkIt focuses on the technology and compliance aspects rather than physical logistics services.
Prism is an AI-native recruiting agency that fundamentally changes how companies find and hire talent. Unlike traditional recruiting agencies that start with who they already know, Prism begins by identifying who is actually best for the role. The company searches beyond existing networks, agency databases, and active job seekers to discover high-fit candidates across the entire open talent market. The service operates through a simple Slack channel interface where companies brief Prism on their hiring needs. Prism then handles the complete recruitment process including sourcing, engaging, screening, and chasing candidates. Companies only need to step in for interviews and making offers. Every shortlisted candidate comes with a transparent breakdown showing where they meet requirements, where they fall short, and what areas deserve further investigation. Prism has developed proprietary AI tooling that powers their candidate search capabilities. Their system scores 89.6 on the PSB (People Search Benchmark), which is 21+ points ahead of the strongest published baseline. This advanced search engine enables them to find candidates that traditional methods might miss. The company operates on a performance-based pricing model with a $500 retainer to kick off searches and a 15% fee of first-year salary upon successful placement. The company was founded by Theo Kitsberg and is part of Y Combinator's F25 batch. They position themselves as an alternative to both slow, expensive, opaque traditional agencies and software solutions that simply dump thousands of half-relevant profiles on hiring managers. Prism also offers a free service for job seekers through Ray, their AI career advisor, who matches candidates with companies hiring people with their specific profile after a brief conversation.
Octupie is an agent that runs the entire short-form content workflow end to end. Instead of spending hours scrolling and analyzing competitor content, creators can rely on Octupie to surface only the videos that broke past their baseline performance. The platform then decodes exactly why each outlier worked—examining elements like hook, beats, pacing, and angle—and rewrites the winning idea as a ready-to-shoot script in the user's voice. The system is trained on the creator's own past videos, captions, and comments, ensuring the generated scripts sound authentic rather than generic AI copy. This approach eliminates the common problem of AI scriptwriters producing content that lacks the creator's personal tone and style. Currently supporting Instagram Reels at launch with LinkedIn content planned next, Octupie is designed to save creators significant time in the content research and scriptwriting process. Octupie operates by first allowing users to track the creators they compete with on Instagram. The platform then monitors these accounts and identifies only the videos that significantly outperformed their typical baseline metrics. For each successful video, Octupie analyzes the specific elements that contributed to its success, including the hook that grabbed attention, the beats and pacing that maintained viewer interest, and the angle that made the content compelling. The private beta currently includes 11 creators across AI, Education, and Lifestyle niches, with 45 additional creators on the waitlist. This focused approach allows the team to refine the platform based on real user feedback before broader release. The founders built Octupie after experiencing firsthand the time-intensive process of content research and scriptwriting while working with a 222k-follower Instagram creator. The platform is particularly valuable for content creators, social media managers, and agencies who need to consistently produce engaging short-form content. By automating the research and initial scriptwriting phases, Octupie enables creators to focus more time on filming, editing, and engaging with their audience. The voice training feature ensures that even automated content maintains the authentic tone that audiences expect from their favorite creators.
SuperAd is an ad-testing platform that addresses the $293 billion in annual digital spend that produces zero results by replacing chaotic multivariate tests with disciplined, single-variable experiments. The product generates AI-powered ad variations, runs clean experiments, and assembles the winning elements into high-performing ads, all accessible through a web app or directly via MCP. Key capabilities explicitly mentioned include: AI-powered generation of ad variations, structured testing that changes only one variable per experiment, clean experiment execution, trustworthy signal surfacing, and automatic assembly of winning hooks, visuals, and CTAs into final high-performing ads. Early users report actionable brand insights, pricing power improvements, and increased show rates after switching to SuperAd’s methodology. The platform works by first generating multiple AI-driven creative variations. Instead of launching all changes simultaneously, SuperAd isolates each element—hook, visual, or CTA—and tests them individually. This controlled approach produces clear, attributable performance data, eliminating the “maybe this worked” ambiguity that plagues traditional ad tests. Once statistically significant winners are identified, the system combines them into finished ads ready for scaled deployment. Benefits cited by early adopters include immediate brand insights, confidence in packaging angles, ability to raise prices by $70, and reaching a 71 % show rate. By removing guesswork, teams stop burning budget on ineffective creatives and instead invest only in combinations proven to resonate with their audience. SuperAd is built by Pompilio Fiore, Alessandro Marianantoni, and Alessio Romano at M-Accelerator in Los Angeles. The service is currently available to US-based users only and offers $50 in launch credits to the first 20 Product Hunters using code SUPERAD50.
