Launch HN: Hoplite (YC S26) – Effortlessly deploy cloud coding agents
Founders of YC-backed startup Hoplite introduce a cloud-based platform designed to deploy and test coding agents. The tool aims to streamline the development workflow by allowing developers to verify product outputs and agent performance in a cloud environment.
Why it matters
As AI agents become more prevalent in software development, tools that facilitate testing and reliability are becoming critical infrastructure for engineering teams.
Hi HN, we’re Bence and Ryan, founders of Hoplite ( ). Hoplite lets you deploy coding agents in the cloud, with a suite of tools that makes it incredibly easy to QA features. During onboarding, we port over your local setup - sessions, memories, MCP servers, and get your projects ready to run in the cloud. Here’s a demo: We got here after pivoting away from the idea we applied to YC with; AI for retail investing. It ultimately wasn’t a product that we ourselves would use, nor served a customer base that we felt connected to. In reflecting on what we really wanted to do, we realised that we loved talking to founders and developers, and were really opinionated about the specific area of cloud agents.
