garrytan · x · 2026-07-16
The former co-founder and CTO of Rippling has launched a new AI coding assistant named Vorflux, announcing a $15 million seed round led by investors including Y Combinator and Peak XV.
Unlike the traditional Copilot model, Vorflux focuses on an "autopilot" concept. The author argues that current AI coding tools still require developers to constantly control and approve every step, but underlying models are now powerful enough to let AI autonomously complete the entire development process.
