Launch Week 2 shipped a stack of new updates. Check out everything we launched. Then we handed it to the community for a hackathon: ten days, build something real.
Everyone shipped a full-stack app that pushed InsForge to its boundaries. Honestly, a few of the projects I would happily use right now. We had a genuinely good time reviewing every single one, which is exactly what made picking the winners so hard.
🏆 Best Overall: Inbox Pilot
A support agent that knows your docs, and knows when it doesn't. Inbox Pilot is one shared inbox for SMS, email, and webchat. It answers the questions it's confident about, and when something runs past your knowledge base, it hands off to a human instead of bluffing. It was the most complete project we saw: every feature actually worked, and they demoed all of it live. You could run a real support desk on it today.
🛠️ Most Useful: Glass Cast
Glass Cast by @henrybrewer00-dotcom
Record once, ship cinema. Glass Cast is a Mac screen recorder that edits itself. The camera auto-zooms toward whatever you click, captions write themselves, and you can point its AI agent at a whole raw take and tell it to clip and caption the thing. What comes out looks like you spent a week on it. Think Screen Studio, but open source and bring-your-own-AI. I really liked this one, and I can already picture using it to record my own stuff.
🎮 Most Fun / Interesting: bring back fable 5 plz
bring back fable 5 plz by @hardsoft-maker
Due diligence, but as a game. It surfaces the VCs and their portfolios across a tiny San Francisco, and you can walk up and chat with any of them, from Founders Fund and Sequoia to the founders milling around a Y Combinator hall. It got a real laugh out of the team the first time we tried it. Nobody asked for this, and we are glad somebody built it. The name? Message received, and for the record, plus one. I agree.
⚙️ Most Technically Impressive: Hive
Run a team of AI agents you can actually watch. You hand Hive a goal, it splits the work across a swarm, and every step plans, runs, and self-reviews in front of you in real time. If one starts going sideways, you stop it with a click, and hard cost gates keep it from quietly burning through your budget. It leaned on more of InsForge than anything else we got, and I can genuinely see the potential in an agent orchestration system built like this.
🎨 Most Visually Pleasing: FORGER
Catch the bugs before your users do. Forger benchmarks generated full-stack code and, more to the point, catches the errors that would slip past you, the kind that look fine on ten rows and fall over at a hundred thousand. And somehow it is cute. The little Forger mascot turns a debugging tool into something you actually want to open, which is not a sentence I expected to write.
Thanks for building
Congratulations to the five winners, and thank you to everyone who shipped something this round, not just the names up here. You set a high bar. See you at Launch Week 3. InsForge to the moon!
