Show HN: Claude Code for Customer Support

Fri, 05/22/2026 - 8:40pm

Letterbook (https://letterbook.ai) helps growing companies manage and solve customer support tickets across email, app, Discord, and website forms. Our AI integrates with your inbox, database, Stripe, Shopify, you name it. Every ticket that comes in gets a draft resolution that you can approve in 1 click.

Watch our demo video: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1vNoMTcKoI).

My co-founder Ethan and I grew our last product, an AI personal assistant app, to 100k users. At one point, we’d get 30-50 support tickets a day, and I had to buy an ancient help desk software and a VA in the Philippines to respond to users.

We knew AI agents could make support 10x easier, so we built the first version of Letterbook and immediately migrated Martin off of Freshdesk.

Now, we're giving Letterbook to other startups at a discounted price. You can try it for free, and then pay half the price of Fin or Zendesk AI to start automating customer support at scale.

If you happen to be in need of a support platform, I can't wait to hear your feedback! If you have general thoughts on AI support agents, past experiences using Zendesk/Intercom/Freshdesk, or AI-native challengers broadly, I'd love to discuss any of these topics with you.

Show HN: Agentikus

Fri, 05/22/2026 - 8:29pm

Servus Hackers,

I’ve been building Agentikus mostly in silence for the past month or so, and then realized: I should probably post it here too.

Agentikus provides workspaces for collaborating with managed and unmanaged agents in team workflows.

I’m building the platform brand-first, because the tech itself isn’t really the hard part anymore. My goal is to build a strong AI company with clear values: people first, empowering them and their businesses, without leaning on the usual “AI is coming to eat your lunch” narrative.

I’ll be around for the next hour or two to answer questions.

Obvious first one: is this a 2026 AI-only company? Yes. Right now it’s me, Codex, and a couple of AI APIs.

When everybody is trying to replace people with bots, I want to empower people and their businesses. It’s not for everybody; it’s for people who get the zeitgeist.

Happy to answer questions.

Cheers, Jose E. G. Modecir

Ask HN: What to learn and do, that makes me least affected by AI in STEM?

Fri, 05/22/2026 - 8:15pm

I could be wrong with what I say here. It's just the situation made me feel so.

Looks like AI learnt almost everything there is in the internet and textbooks today. I lost hope of learning anything new out there to make a reasonable difference and impact. Choose any topic AI knows. Its interpretation is far better than what I can come up with by myself. I feel robbed of my intellectual freedom to express and be accepted by others as others depend on AI for everything.

I recently started studying physics fundamentals to find solace. These fundamentals cannot be found through AI. No LLM can precisely measure and compare, but instead only predict. But this is mostly an intellectual exercise. I can't do a living from it.

I am a software engineer with average skills. I get paid reasonably okay as it helps me survive. Nothing more than that. But AI can make my world topple any time soon.

What should I look into as alternatives , even if it's less lucrative software compensation, so that I find AI can't over power me?
