Launch HN: Kampala (YC W26) – Reverse-Engineer Apps into APIs
Kampala is a reverse-engineering tool that intercepts and analyzes application traffic to automatically convert undocumented app workflows into reusable APIs, enabling IT organizations to modernize legacy systems and automate business processes without rebuilding applications from scratch. This technology addresses the critical challenge of system integration when official APIs are unavailable, potentially reducing development time and costs while improving operational agility. For enterprises with complex app ecosystems, Kampala represents a strategic capability to rapidly map dependencies, extract business logic, and create governance-ready automation layers.
