I’ll share a small part of pickle.com
Back in med school, I became obsessed with augmenting memory and dreamed of a Notion or Obsidian that completes itself. Today, we’ve built something close.
My self-awareness is sharper and everything feels connected. I genuinely believe AI does not replace humans. It amplifies us.
Huge respect to our engineers and designers who made this crazy thing real.
Bubbles are the episodic units of my life that the system interprets from my raw data. Clouds are the system’s questions, its hypotheses about who I am.
When I answer a cloud, it becomes a bubble again.
There is so much personal data that I cannot fully demo it. Wish I could. This system understands me more deeply than anyone.
Want to try it? Retweet and comment “memory.”
I’ll DM you an access code to skip the waitlist.

i noticed people pick automation tools based on hype
then wonder why they're either:
→ overpaying for simple workflows (Zapier)
→ stuck with tools that can't scale (basic platforms)
→ or paralyzed by complexity (wrong tool for their stage)
the truth: Zapier, Make, and n8n aren't competitors
they're built for completely different builders
here's how to pick:
ZAPIER = plug and play
built for: business owners who just want shit to work
philosophy: "connect two apps, set a trigger, done"
best for:
→ your first 5 automations
→ mainstream tools (8,000+ integrations)
→ no technical knowledge needed
→ speed over everything
example: new Shopify order → send Slack message → done in 2 minutes
the catch: pricing scales per task
one workflow with 5 steps running 1,000x/month = 5,000 tasks
gets expensive FAST at scale
use Zapier when: you're starting out and need results today
MAKE = visual control
built for: operators who want to see how data flows
philosophy: "design your workflow like a flowchart"
best for:
→ complex multi-step processes
→ branching logic and filters
→ teams scaling past simple automations
→ 2,000 integrations with deeper control
example: Shopify order → check if over $100 → tag as VIP → route to fulfillment → ping team
you SEE every branch, every condition, every path
the catch: charges per operation (each action = 1 operation)
still cheaper than Zapier at scale, but not unlimited
use Make when: you're building structured systems and need visibility
N8N = complete freedom
built for: technical teams who want full control
philosophy: "self-host, customize everything, own your data"
best for:
→ custom APIs and internal tools
→ enterprise-grade security needs
→ AI agent workflows
→ unlimited executions (self-hosted = free)
example: WhatsApp message → AI analyzes intent → pulls CRM data → auto-replies → escalates to human if uncertain
you can write JavaScript inside nodes
connect to ANY API (even your own)
host it on your own server
the catch: steeper learning curve
you need some technical comfort
use n8n when: you're serious about automation as infrastructure
THE PRICING REALITY
- Zapier: pay per task (expensive at scale)
- Make: pay per operation (middle ground)
- n8n: pay per execution OR self-host free (cheapest at scale)
THE AI ANGLE
all three now do AI
- Zapier: simple AI actions (ChatGPT email drafts, summaries)
- Make: visual AI flows (sentiment analysis → auto-tagging)
- n8n: full AI agent workflows (intent analysis → CRM lookup → dynamic responses)
if you're building AI automation, n8n is the playground
SO HOW TO ACTUALLY DECIDE?
I’ve got you.

@SahilBloom Keep these coming sahil. I usually scroll twitter when I want a distraction from ‘the work’, then I come across one of your tweets and it’s like okay, put the phone down and get back to it.

Why should we shift to one-to-one devices?”
That was the question from one principal during the Q&A.
The answer?
It’s not about replacing textbooks or chasing grades.
It’s about engagement, equity, and preparing students for a digital world that won’t wait.
Highlights from school leaders in the room:
•“Devices don’t replace teaching—they unlock richer learning experiences.”
•“We’ve moved from passive note-taking to active, student-led learning.”
•“Students expect digital fluency—so do employers.”
•“Not every student has access at home. Schools must level the playing field.”
One principal summed it up best:
“If my daughter didn’t have a device, she’d be starting life one step behind.”

“Engage your community.”
“Don’t be afraid.”
“Speed trumps perfection.”
That was the parting advice from school leaders reflecting on their one-to-one device journeys.
Yes, they faced challenges—Wi-Fi upgrades, staff nerves, parent concerns. But they all agreed: managed digital learning is no longer optional.
Top takeaways:
•Get infrastructure right – solid Wi-Fi is essential.
•Start with your staff – build confidence from within.
•Communicate with parents – transparency builds trust.
•Manage the devices – without controls, it won’t work.
Paula Mulhall summed it up best:
“The longer you wait, the more you’ll need to catch upa

For higher education, “AI’s takeover [is] a full-blown existential crisis.”
“College is just how well I can use ChatGPT at this point.”
“I think we are years — or months, probably — away from a world where nobody thinks using AI for homework is considered cheating.”
“It isn’t as if cheating is new. But now, as one student put it, ‘the ceiling has been blown off.’ Who could resist a tool that makes every assignment easier with seemingly no consequences?”
“Massive numbers of students are going to emerge from university with degrees, and into the workforce, who are essentially illiterate.”
“The humanities, and writing in particular, are quickly becoming an anachronistic art elective like basket-weaving.”
“Many teachers now seem to be in a state of despair.”
“Every time I talk to a colleague about this, the same thing comes up: retirement. When can I retire? When can I get out of this? That’s what we’re all thinking now.”
