IT teams are getting fleeced by ServiceNow, which charges six-figure contracts for software that any determined admin could now build from scratch in a weekend.
Here's the thing nobody's saying out loud: in a world with Claude Code, you don't need to buy any of it, and you don't need to build it from the ground up either, you just need the right harness to run on top of it.
That's what OpenIT is, a harness for IT teams to run their entire operation on Claude Code, covering ticketing, access provisioning, reporting, ITIL workflows, and all the cross-system glue work that actually fills an admin's day, with everything you do stored as files on your machine and the system learning from you as you work, so the second time a request comes in, it already knows what to do.
OpenIT is the first of a new kind of software that runs on Claude Code.

OpenIT launched on Product Hunt on May 15th, 2026 and earned 59 upvotes and 4 comments, placing #42 on the daily leaderboard. The very first software that uses Claude Code as its operating system, building itself around you as you work, and reinventing how IT runs.

Who hunted OpenIT?
OpenIT was hunted by Sankalp Gunturi. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
