Latest update (11-11 12:11): Pomerado launches a self-serve platform that turns websites into agent tools

Overview: Pomerado, a Y Combinator startup, launches a self-serve platform that turns any website, including sites the developer does not own, into an API or MCP integration for AI agents. Users describe the workflow in natural language and receive an MCP in under an hour, and each call returns results in 5 to 30 seconds, according to a Launch HN post.

The company says its deterministic APIs run 2x faster, cost 10 to 1,000 times less and are 30% more accurate than browser agents, based on a 30-task benchmark across 25 business apps. These figures are Pomerado's own claims. The free tier allows 100 tool calls per day.
