Score: 6.3/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 7, Documentation: 6, Utility: 5)

Y is a desktop coding-agent app that lets the user modify its own UI through a protected Modify surface, combining chat-based interaction with local CLI agents like Claude Code and Codex. It is interesting because it introduces a self-modifying architecture with rollback support, enabling a malleable workspace that evolves with the user's needs.
