Hey everyone, I'm Yusuf, co-founder at Vendo (YC S26). Berkeley honors grad at 19, Stanford MS, and now building open-source software that lets companies agentify their products: embedded agents your customers use to automate work, build views, and connect their tools. We're at 412 stars and I'm trying to push past 500 so more builders find it. If you have a GitHub account, this takes 10 seconds: open https://github.com/runvendo/vendo and hit the Star button in the top right. That's it. Live product if you want to poke at it: vendo.run Happy to answer anything about the stack, agents, or YC. And I'll return the favor, drop your repo below and I'll star it too. 🙏
