Launch HN: Mystro (YC S17) – Automation for On-Demand Drivers Hi! I'm Matt from Mystro ( http://ift.tt/2wvNPnt ) and we're in the current YC batch. We're building an app for on-demand drivers to automate the process of driving for multiple platforms. My co-founder got the idea for Mystro while completing over 10,000 trips as an Uber/Lyft driver. We automate switching multiple on-demand apps on and off. This ensures that drivers are available on all services to get the maximum number of rides but never get penalized for not accepting a ride because they are already on a trip. We also automatically accept trips according to driver's settings so they do not have to look at/touch their phones to accept trips while driving. Currently, we support Uber and Lyft, but we are planning to add many more rideshare and delivery platforms as we grow. We have found that using Mystro makes drivers 30% more money, reduces distracted driving, and makes driving much more relaxing for our drivers. We run entirely on the user's phone and integrate with the driver apps directly, avoiding any need for API access and letting us easily integrate new platforms as we go forward. For now, we are only available on Android (which 65% of drivers use), since app-to-app interactions are much more restricted on iOS. We have a SaaS business model and charge drivers $12/mo or $99/yr for unlimited trips, and all drivers get 10 trips per week for free. We're happy to answer any questions about Mystro or about ridesharing in general (especially from the driver perspective). August 22, 2017 at 10:36PM
