Today we’re launching GodHands (YC F26). Every company runs on people who just know how things work. The refund that doesn’t fit the policy. Which customer gets a call. Which spreadsheet is actually right. That knowledge is never written down. When they leave, it leaves with

What this launch shows

The post went out from an account with 80 followers. It was seen 399.6 times over. For under 5K followers the median reach is 161.4 times the following.

This launch beat that by 2.5 times. It ranks 516 of 627 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it is below the median of 688K views, at rank 1780 of 1981.

Replies led. 75 of them, 23.5 per 10,000 views against a median of 2.3.

The post started a conversation, and the ranking model pays for conversation with reach in the hours after. Bookmarks came in at 219, reposts at 24.

It starts “Today we’re launching GodHands (YC F26)”, a first-person opening that the founder-account launches in the directory use most. It carries a 1:14 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 47 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 Thursday. Launches posted on a Thursday have a median of 724K 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 80 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. Every launch we track in Enterprise AI is on that vertical's directory page.
