YC's Request for Startups features 7 ideas, 6 explicitly AI-native. The most builder-relevant: (1) "Cursor for Product Management" — AI agents that help PMs ideate and decide, replacing Productboard ($20K+/year). (2) AI-Native Agencies — instead of $50/mo SaaS, use AI internally and sell finished outcomes at $2K-$5K/month with 65-80% margins (vs traditional agency 20-35%). (3) AI-Guided Physical Work — Claude Code for the physical world. YC isn't funding "AI features." They want companies built with the assumption that agents do most of the work. The AI-native agency model may be the highest-leverage play for solo founders in 2026. (Y Combinator)
