Comentiq

Where individual brilliance becomes collective momentum.

Problem

Cohort builders do real work every week, but that work rarely turns into a coherent public story. Progress stays buried in commits and standups, campaign content is time-consuming to write well, and partners have no low-friction way to discover specific builders or express interest in what they're building.

Solution

An AI copilot drafts channel-specific campaign content from a builder's actual project updates, with evidence-grounding enforced by the system prompt and a mandatory human-approval step before anything publishes. A public showcase, peer amplification, and a partner enquiry pipeline close the loop from individual progress to collective visibility.

Audience

Primary: Hult Summer Cohort 2026 builders, who use it to turn their weekly progress into shareable, credible campaign content. Secondary: partner organizations (accelerators, hiring partners, potential pilot customers) browsing the cohort for builders and projects worth connecting with.

Overview

Comentiq turns builders' weekly progress into evidence-based campaign stories, drafted by AI and approved by humans, then amplified by peers and surfaced to partners — all in one loop.

Comentiq is a vibe marketing platform for the Hult Summer Cohort 2026. Builders publish profiles and projects, submit progress updates, and get AI-drafted campaign content across four channels — grounded only in evidence they actually supplied, never invented traction. Every draft requires human approval before it goes public. Cohort members can "Boost" each other's approved campaigns with personalized peer endorsements, and partners can browse the public showcase and submit enquiries directly to the builders and projects they're interested in.

Shipped: full submission, live in production
Comentiq is live and fully functional end-to-end — auth, profiles, projects, updates, AI-drafted campaign content with human approval, peer amplification, and partner enquiries all working in production. Every AI-generated draft is grounded in evidence the builder actually supplied and requires explicit approval before it's public.
Achievements
- Full core loop verified in production: signup → profile → project → update → AI campaign generation → approval → public showcase
- Amplification ("Boost a Builder") working with public endorsement display
- Partner enquiry pipeline tested logged-out through to admin review
- Row-Level Security enforced across every table, including a role-escalation guard on profiles
Challenges
- Diagnosed and fixed an RLS gap that was silently blocking public amplification content from rendering
- Untangled a git branch mixup where a week of work had been committed to the wrong submission branch — recovered without losing any code
- Corrected a chain of Vercel deploy misconfigurations (root directory, production branch tracking, framework preset) that were causing 404s in production
Lessons
- Test the unhappy paths, not just the happy ones — the amplification RLS bug and the dead Save Draft button were both found by deliberately clicking around rather than assuming a passing build meant a working feature

Campaign stories

Story angle

A builder shipped the platform that runs its own campaign — Comentiq is live in production, evidence-grounded, and demonstrating its own loop in real time.

The most credible proof that an AI campaign tool works is watching it document its own shipping. Every feature in Comentiq's update — auth, approvals, peer amplification, partner enquiries — is live and verified, not promised. That closes the gap between builder claim and public evidence in a way that generic 'building in public' posts rarely do.

I built a platform that turns builders' weekly progress into evidence-grounded campaign content — then used it to document shipping the platform itself. Comeniq is live in production as part of the Hult Summer Cohort 2026. Here's what's working end-to-end right now: → Signup, profile, and project creation → Progress updates that feed an AI drafting layer (Claude, via Anthropic API) → Every AI draft is grounded only in evidence the builder actually supplied — the system prompt enforces this → Mandatory human approval before anything goes public → Peer amplification: cohort members can 'Boost' each other's campaigns with personal endorsements → A public showcase where partners can browse projects and submit enquiries directly to builders The hardest parts weren't the features — they were the edge cases. An RLS policy that was silently dropping public amplification content from the UI. A git branch mixup that buried a week of commits in the wrong submission branch. A Vercel deploy misconfigured across three settings simultaneously. All diagnosed, fixed, and in production. The lesson that's stuck: test the unhappy path deliberately. Assuming a passing build means a working feature is how silent bugs stay silent. Stack: Next.js 14, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Supabase, Anthropic API, Zod. What's next: GitHub OAuth, an analytics dashboard on top of the event log already in place, and an embeddable widget for partner sites. If you're a Hult builder who wants to turn your weekly standups into something the world can actually see — or a partner curious about what this cohort is building — the showcase is public and the enquiry pipeline is open. hult-cohort-program-one.vercel.app #HultCohort2026 #BuildingInPublic #AITools #IndieHackers #NextJS #Supabase

Building alongside Lorraine in the Hult Summer Cohort, I've watched a lot of people talk about shipping. Lorraine actually shipped — and then used what she built to document that she built it, which is a different thing entirely. Cometiq's full loop is live in production right now: signup, profile, project updates, AI-drafted campaigns with human approval gates, public showcase, peer amplification, partner enquiry pipeline. That's not a roadmap — it's verifiable at hult-cohort-program-one.vercel.app. What stands out to me from an engineering standpoint is the unglamorous stuff: she diagnosed a silent RLS gap that was blocking public content from rendering, untangled a git branch mixup without losing a week of work, and chased down a chain of Vercel misconfigurations causing 404s. That's the kind of problem-solving that doesn't make the highlight reel but tells you a lot about how someone operates under pressure. As someone interested in AI engineering, I find the evidence-grounded, human-approved campaign generation loop genuinely interesting — it's a thoughtful constraint, not an afterthought. Worth exploring if you're a builder or a potential partner looking to connect with this cohort.
