Show HN:RevMax – Revenue OS for AI Agents (Seeking 25 Pilot Partners)

Hacker News - Wed, 05/21/2025 - 5:53am

Hi HN

I’m Vijay Gorfad (3× CTO turned founder). After wrestling with margin leaks at multiple AI-agent startups,where I built billing stacks and outcome-based pricing engines finally I launched RevMax, an end-to-end “Revenue OS” for AI-agent businesses. We’re live with 3 pilot partners.

What RevMax does: Launch any pricing model (outcome, usage, tiered, hybrid) in minutes—zero redeploys Pinpoint every AI cost (LLM tokens, GPU-seconds, vector DB, TTS/STT, telephony) at the task level Visualize real-time margins per agent, workflow, customer, even per API call Automate order-to-cash: invoicing, dunning, global payments, ASC 606-compliant RevRec

Early results → pilots see an avg 22% margin lift in 30 days. We’ve run 50+ founder interviews and iterated fast on feedback.

Now onboarding 25 pilot partners for our next wave of early adopters. Get instant sandbox access, a free margin audit, and help shape our roadmap.

I’d love your feedback and to partner with 25 HN founders—drop a comment or DM me!

Show HN: Supatab.app – A Chrome extension that helps to chat with multiple tabs

Hacker News - Wed, 05/21/2025 - 5:50am

I’m a software engineer and I often have 10+ tabs open when I’m reading stuff or doing research. I used to keep switching between them, copy-pasting, and trying to remember where I saw something. It was slow and messy.

So I built a Chrome extension called Supatab (https://supatab.app). It’s like ChatGPT for your browser tabs.

Here’s how it helps me:

• I can ask questions about the pages I’ve opened

• It gives quick summaries of long articles or docs

• I can find important points without reading everything

• No more switching between tabs all the time

It’s been saving me a lot of time, especially when I’m trying to understand new topics or write up notes. Thought I’d share in case anyone else deals with the same problem.

In case you are interested to try here’s the link: https://chrome web store.google.com/detail/supatab/paegfcicdclnmbkedpnanmnhchfbalfa?utm_source=item-share-cp

Ask HN: How does Stripe work on the inside?

Hacker News - Wed, 05/21/2025 - 5:46am

I am very intrigued by how Stripe works on the inside. They ship such good quality, are very thoughtful, all while feeling like a calm vibe. Things like: what is their management philosophy, how are there teams structured, how do they communicate internally about big initiatives?

I have heard a few podcasts with Stripe engineers that paint a picture. Jeff Weinstein’s interviews give a little glimpse. Claire’s book gives some info. But I am hungry for more. Would love it if the Collison brothers would write their own book.

But in the meantime: has anyone pointers to books, blogs or interviews about their inner workings? Or anecdotes in this thread are also welcome.

Show HN: CheepCode – Write Tickets in Linear. Get PRs in GitHub. $1 per Result

Hacker News - Wed, 05/21/2025 - 5:07am

Hi HN, while I made a new account recently, I've been a member of the community for over a decade. In that time, I've learned an incredible amount from all of you. One of the most important lessons is that, if you're not (at least slightly) embarrassed of your first version, you waited too long to ship. Well, I realized yesterday that I had waited too long anyways!

My headless coding agent, CheepCode, went into private beta a few weeks ago. I was putting together some demo apps and the last few things I wanted to have ready before launch, when OpenAI dropped their coding agent last Friday. Then as GitHub, Anthropic, and Google launched on Monday, well, I knew what I had to do. I scrambled, scratched off the necessary to-do items, and have emergency-launched CheepCode to public release: https://app.cheepcode.com if you want to poke around (first 5 runs are free, no credit card required).

CheepCode works in a fully-integrated Linux development environment. It can browse the web, use Docker, install packages, and recursively problem-solve to work around issues. It is incredibly resilient and provides high-quality suggestions. While I'm still working on quantifying the output quality, I find that in practice it doesn't fall prey to the common problem of "doing too much" that people experience.

CheepCode also uses a journal to help you understand its process. It's entirely headless, so you can't interact with the agent while it's working, but you can still see how its thoughts and intermediate progress for debugging/optimization.

With all that said, please keep in mind it is still incredibly early for CheepCode! There are tons of features I'm eager to build, like responding to pull requests (this one should be done in the next week or so!), notifications, and more integrations (GitLab, Jira, Asana, Monday, etc).

If you read this far, thank you so much! It's a huge honor to be launching on HN today. I'll be around to answer any questions.
