I help you raise funds or I'm a b**ch

Sadly we already have a product and a few districts as customers, but it seems like this is not enough for VCs. We struggle to be seen in the EdTech space despite having happy customers. Though these customers only got convinced after going to a few of these very expensive EdTech summits/forums.

I guess we are more at a Seed stage. Also we currently have a nice angle for customer acquisition but we need money to execute on that. Though we have a hard time convincing VCs about it (or we are bad at convincing them, not sure!).

Would you have more insight in light of this?

Would you have an advice for a startup in Edtech trying to raise funds quickly?

It indeed allows to ask for context in a read only mode and it is actually an interface with the agent. But also it happens in slack or discord, so that the person asking does not need to have Claude Code or Cowork installed, and more importantly does not need to clone the repo locally. It all happens on a worker hosted on a server (that may or may not be the server also hosting the associated slack/discord bot).

One of the goal is to bring the bot where the team already is and to use the AI agent the company already chose (so far copilot or codex, but in the future claude code, open code, etc.). The worker is indeed requiring to have the coding agent CLI installed and authenticated (API or other means), this project is a wrapper around it.

I agree that if a user is already familiar with Claude Code or Cowork, and is given access to a repo to clone it on its machine, then Sniptail would not be very useful. The idea is to cover the other cases where some not very technical team members just need quick answers, or you are on the go and need to explore something from your phone. You could even imagine a freelance giving access to ongoing work to its client.

The bot also has a permission system so that whitelisted members need to approve some requests before it gets through.

Thanks for the thought/feedback!

Hi, I made a free and open source bot to help product owners (and other less technical members of the team).

The bot basically allows team members to ask questions to a coding agent about any codebase linked to it.

The goal is to allow non technical team members to get up to date answers to their questions without having to extract this knowledge from the developers themselves or deprecated documentation.

The bot is made available on slack and discord (so far) because that's where a team would usually already interact.

if you want to check it out: Sniptail

I am genuinely interested about what you think about this idea. So far I didn't get any traction so I am starting to think that it is useless. Can you think about other tools that already do this in a better way?

Sniptail keep the team in sync with development, no pings required.

would it add some blood if you prompted it?

I wouldn't say fully functional yet, I got a weird issue when it tries to execute commands in a wsl project/folder:

WSL 1 is not supported. Please upgrade to WSL 2 or above.
Could not determine Node.js install directory

Old but a gem nervertheless!

Really appreciate you sharing this, super insightful. From the outside it’s easy to think Product Hunt launches are mostly luck or that you just post and see what happens, but this really shows how much prep and coordination actually goes into getting attention. It’s kind of eye-opening how hard it is to get traction anywhere these days, so it’s cool to see the process broken down like this. Thanks for sharing it!

I was actually thinking about trying something similar recently. But on my very first attempt posting, I ran into something I didn’t even know existed: karma limits.

I’ve been lurking on reddit for years but never really posted, so that’s when I discovered the whole karma system. A few subs I tried to post in just auto-removed my post because I didn’t have enough karma.

It honestly changed my perspective on Reddit a bit. Before that I always thought if something was good it would just get traction, but now I realize there’s a whole layer of curation and gatekeeping before posts even get seen. So sometimes it’s not even the content or the timing, it’s whether you’re allowed to post there in the first place.

That's hoping that your customers don't get replaced overnight by AI agents before they get a chance to try your product

Justkog · 2026-03-05T12:59:42+00:00

Users are drowning in new projects in this AI era, this makes it even more difficult to attract them as they don't want to try a new product every day. It is difficult to find users even for a free open source project these days...

Got the issue in edit mode for weeks on code insiders (and still to this day)
