Hey Product Hunt,
I’m Sahil — co-founder of Airstitch.
Three months ago, Jessie and I walked into our YC interview convinced we had “the one.”
A no-code workflow builder we’d spent months crafting.
We thought we were onto something big.
We weren’t.
A few hours later, we got this email:
“Hard to break out.”
“Crowded space.”
“Not clear you can win.”
It stung.
Because they were right.
The truth was simple:
People don’t wake up wanting to “build workflows.”
They just want their work handled so their brain can breathe.
That night, Jessie and I sat on a call until 3AM and made the scariest decision we’ve ever made:
Delete the product. Rebuild from zero. Forget everything except the user’s actual life.
No more drag-and-drop boxes.
No more flowcharts.
No more turning users into engineers.
Just one idea:
What if you could run your entire workday by texting one message?
So we rebuilt everything around WhatsApp — the most frictionless interface on earth.
Ten days after launch:
112 users
16 paying customers ($378 in MRR)
33% week-over-week growth
$0 CAC
And students (who we didn’t even design for) became 33% of our usage because they were drowning in tasks more than anyone.
The market didn’t just “accept” the change — it dragged us toward it.
What Airstitch actually does?
“Check my email for anything urgent and schedule what matters.”
“Look at my Canvas deadlines and add everything to Calendar.”
“When a client emails, open a Linear ticket and notify Slack.”
“Find the pricing doc from last week in Drive.”
No setup.
No learning curve.
No “building automations.”
Just… relief.
What I learned the hard way?
A rejection can be the most accurate roadmap.
People want clarity, not control.
Mental load is a bigger problem than automation.
If users have to think, you’ve already lost.
We’re now adding:
Proactive reminders
iMessage + SMS
A cleaner onboarding flow
And we’re building fast, because the problem is bigger than we realized.

And one more thing:
Which app do you switch between way too much?
It might be our next integration.
