Superframeworks / Y Combinator·medium signal

Y Combinator's Spring 2026 Request for Startups reveals 6 of 7 priority ideas are AI-focused: Cursor for PMs (synthesize feedback, propose features, create PRDs), AI-native agencies (software margins, not services margins), AI for government (processing the flood of AI-generated applications), AI-native hedge funds (agent swarms for quant), and AI guidance for physical work via wearables. YC claims AI-native SaaS companies can now reach $100K MRR in 4-6 months vs 18-24 months in 2020.
