today we're launching AI Passport (@ycombinator S26) - web 4.0 is private, hyper-personalized, and runs on us. The main blocker to ubiquitous consumer AI is that every major AI assistant and consumer app is building its own private and incomplete model of the same person.
How it compares
A launch means nothing against no one. These are the launches it is actually comparable to, and where this one sits among them.

What this launch shows
From an account with 770 followers, this reached 320.4 times the account's own following. Accounts in the same band, under 5K followers, reach a median of 161.4 times their following, so this travelled about 2 times further than usual for its size.

The post started a conversation, and the ranking model pays for conversation with reach in the hours after. Bookmarks came in at 446, reposts at 30.
The first line is “today we're launching AI Passport (@ycombinator S26) - web 4.0 is private, hyper-personalized, and runs on us”, a first-person opening that the founder-account launches in the directory use most.
It carries a 1:22 video against a directory median of 65 seconds. Videos between 30 and 90 seconds have a median of 603K views in the directory.
The copy runs 46 words, about the usual length for a launch post here, where the median is 41. The body carries a link, so the post had somewhere to send the reader and paid a little reach for it.
It went out on a Tuesday. Launches posted on a Tuesday have a median of 651K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 880K.
Launching a product on X from a small account covers this: an account with 770 followers has to earn every view from outside its own following.
For the next one, read attributing signups to a launch: a save rate this high is the number to follow into the product. Giving people something to reply to is the guide for it: the conversation is what carried this one.
