Stumbled upon this and found it to be one of the most entertaining ways I've seen to explore a company/product’s history

> The hardest part of QA still seems to be maintaining tests as the system evolves

That’s interesting. It may explain why so many companies now push “self-healing” tests with LLMs for small UI shifts. The teams I spoke with faced different challenges, so the toughest part varied by where they stood in their QA cycle.

> Curious whether you’re aiming...

I started with a broad “AI test everything” approach, but I learned fast that the intent problem I mentioned is tough to beat. The prototype looked great in demos, yell fell short when I dogfooded them on my other projects. And when I met with teams, I didn’t see clear market pull. What comes next is still open.

Hey everyone, I’ve put together this blog post summarizing what I’ve learned over the past month while building a QA-focused startup. I’m still developing my understanding of the space, so I’m also looking for gaps I might be missing. All feedback is welcome!

This is a super fun idea. As someone who just launched a chrome extension, I find it cool that with tweeks you are essentially create one but without having to go through the chrome web store. I wonder if there's any risk in you offer shared "tweaks" that goes against some web store policy.

Also I find the founder journey interesting. What made you decide to pivot from AI Recruiting to an extension generator? Saw this https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/MvC-nextbyte-ai-recruit...

Bundling and distribution. OpenAI has more paid subscribers than Anthropic. I started using Codex over Claude because Codex is included in my subscription.

It’s the classic Microsoft Teams vs Slack debate.
