From the AI breakthroughs of the last few months, a wave of new startup opportunities have been unlocked. Here are some of the ideas we think will be especially interesting to build now: ycombinator.com/rfs
A Secure AI App Store @garrytan There is a small window today for a startup to create an AI App Store that provides computer use APIs and local LLaMA versioning with secure privacy controls, discovery, and payments. We hope you might build it.
@ycombinator @garrytan You guys might want to check out @MorpheusAIs Every part of what you describe is built already. Open source, private, local on device, multi-agent. Top ranked Builder Subnets on Morpheus include many of the top Decentralized AI projects.
@ycombinator @garrytan 👀 How do we apply? x.com/real_n3o/statu…
@ycombinator @garrytan Ah this is what @nilslice is building with mcp.run Already people using it today to create a near native experience for models and agents to utilize external tools
@ycombinator @garrytan we built it and it’s 🚀 mcp.run literally the most secure and portable tools store you could ask for plus an AI native integration platform that makes everything before it look like an ENIAC compared to an iPhone
@ycombinator @garrytan I pitched this exact thing to a16z and unfortunately they didn’t seem interested.
@ycombinator @garrytan Isn't this a very ephemeral state of affairs? Soon we will just have apps on demand so there will be no need for an app store, just a natural language interface to data and processing capabilities.
@ycombinator @garrytan Check out @TrieNetwork . A verifiable, sovereign, uncensored marketplace for AI collaboration. Powered by @RubixChain contract and payment layer.
@ycombinator @garrytan We're building exactly this! Check out @IsomorphIQ_AI. Fresh out of stealth. isomorphIQ.com. Litepaper releasing on 4th Feb.
@ycombinator @garrytan apple with app intents will nail it, app intents will be like using open ai operator on iphones, taking automations to next level
@ycombinator @garrytan hard part is store all these embeddings on-device or it would be too expensive running a cloud-based personalized AI
@ycombinator @garrytan Hey @garrytan I’m working on this for the open web with unternet.co if you’d like to chat
@ycombinator @garrytan @thinkagents is building exactly this and has all of this
@ycombinator @garrytan Tha fuc? Why would anyone want to build something for a "small window"?
@ycombinator @garrytan Can someone explain the thinking behind AI App Stores? Why would users want to download an "agent" as opposed to an end to end experience? Or are you we using the terms "agent" and "app" interchangeably? If so, what's the need for a new type of App Store?
@ycombinator @garrytan you a smarat man garry !
@ycombinator @garrytan An embodiment of what you are envisioning can be an application, more specifically an identity application for end users, ideally running on smartphones. It can meet the needs in all five areas you have outlined. We are building such a product.
@ycombinator @garrytan I'm intrigued by your vision for such an exciting service. We are building the exact platform that satisfies all five needs outlined. However, it's an identity system, more precisely a user-centric identity system.
@ycombinator @garrytan Building something like this. x.com/ibedevesh/stat… x.com/ibedevesh/stat…

@ycombinator @garrytan Totally agree! 🚀 The AI App Store opportunity is massive, secure, private, and optimized for local LLaMA + compute APIs.
