So I applied to YC a few times...this time I thought I'd use assistance. And I went all out. The thing I'm applying with did my application. I didn't touch a knob or a dial...didn't type a key. I just prompted the agent and it used the tool. You can see the insane video - sped up 21x here (link in its description to the full slow video too): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udwuE1PrM_0&feature=youtu.be

To me this is the ultaimte YC application - one i didn't have to stress over, had someone to help me with, and was a showcase of itself. This Show is for the receipts.

If you want to know waht this dank magic is that crafted this insanity it lives here: https://fuckui.com Good luck out there
