@Just1nSo The binder, the supervisor's head, the ERP nobody can log into. We've absorbed all three.

@Just1nSo @ycombinator That's us 👋 If your plant runs on "go ask Dave," we should talk: https://t.co/jMuWrFrpsG

Sidekick: AI agent that handles frontline operations over text. Check them out: https://t.co/WrOZ5gJZmc

[Justin So @Just1nSo]

Sidekick (YC S26) handles frontline operations over text – no app, no login, no training.

On a factory floor, the answer to almost every question already exists. It's just not reachable:
→ In a binder on a shelf three departments away
→ In a supervisor's head, and he's on the other end of the plant
→ In an ERP no one on the line has a login for

So the line stops while someone goes looking.

Workers text Sidekick instead. Questions get answered from their own SOPs. Problems become work orders.

Sidekick (S26) just passed $38K MRR. Double last month.

Here's how it works: your team texts a number. Work orders, answers, escalations – all handled.

No app. No login. No training.

@Just1nSo The best part: every one of these texts becomes a work order, an answer, or a searchable record. The plant gets smarter every day. https://t.co/jMuWrFrpsG
