<p>Love this flavor of OpenClaw — no more lobster, bring on the syrup! 🥞</p><p></p><p>What I particularly enjoyed during onboarding was that Pancake dutifully did a deep research web crawl on me and my business and then put together an onboarding deck describing me, my current foci, and how it could help me.</p><p></p><p>Once I reviewed the deck, it gave me four succinct options to get started, all from within the comfort of my own Slack:</p><img src="https://ph-files.imgix.net/27ffde43-9597-4c7a-8aff-2138369fd5e3.png?auto=compress&amp;codec=mozjpeg&amp;cs=strip&amp;auto=format" style="max-width: 100%"><p>I decided to ask it to write a hunter comment for me for its launch — kinda meta, but in a good way, right?</p><p></p><p>After Product Hunt's bot detection slapped it, it produced this:</p><img src="https://ph-files.imgix.net/3d600c72-a818-479d-b0a0-5cacc7aebca2.png?auto=compress&amp;codec=mozjpeg&amp;cs=strip&amp;auto=format" style="max-width: 100%"><p>Not bad, eh? :)</p><p></p><p><a href="https://app.getpancake.ai/identify?referralToken=m5VOEeKa" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"><strong>Give it a try</strong></a><strong>!</strong></p>

<p>👋 Hey Product Hunt!</p><p>I’m Tristan, one of the cooks behind Pancake.</p><p>While building our previous company, we were such heavy OpenClaw users that 50% of our company was running on autopilot, generating ~10 demos per week and handling ops on its own.</p><p></p><p>We were so excited about this that we decided to go all in on Pancake.</p><p>Pancake is a full AI org chart in Slack, across GTM, product, and ops.</p><ol><li><p><strong>Pancake creates a company brain</strong> by syncing with your meeting notes and Slack discussions. It understands what you're building.</p></li><li><p><strong>Unlike other "autonomous company" products</strong>, you stack agents one by one, each matched to a real goal -- compounding autonomy over time. Go from 0 to 70% autonomy in a few months.</p></li><li><p><strong>Unlike other "AI in Slack" tools</strong>, Pancake is literally an org chart that you build as you go. Hire agents from our open-source Squad templates, or roll your own.</p></li></ol><p>A real example of one of our autonomous Pancake Product Squads:</p><ul><li><p>A founder books a demo with us</p></li><li><p>The Pancake product squad listens to feedback during the call and creates a pull request immediately after, unprompted. We merge it as-is.</p></li></ul><p>We're running Pancake on Pancake and now have 23 autonomous agents doing 3 tasks/day each, posting a daily digest to Slack.<br><br>I hope you'll love Pancake as much as we do!!</p><p>P.S.: <a href="https://www.producthunt.com/@francoisdefitte" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">@francoisdefitte</a> bet he'd shave his head if we hit 1,000 upvotes today. Let's make him bald (hairdressers in SF are unaffordable anyway).</p>

<p>Was a basalt customer back in the day, so I'm already biased toward whatever you ship next. "Autonomous company" is a big swing and I'm honestly into it. How much does it actually run without a human in the loop right now versus what still needs a thumbs-up? And how are you thinking about guardrails so it only acts where it's supposed to?</p>
