🔥 2026 AI Startup Playbook 🔥
I just talked with Young Zhao, CEO of @OpusClip .
They failed multiple times. Almost burned out.
Then ONE FEATURE worked.
Today: 50M users. $215M valuation.
Here’s the real playbook ↓

@gregisenberg Interesting point,
The question is how to convince host apps to accept our mini-apps?
I already have 3 great ideas
English

Apple JUST quietly announced something that’s a lot BIGGER than it looks: "the Mini Apps Partner Program"
Apple is admitting that the future of software is embedded, lightweight, vertical mini-apps distributed inside bigger app
For founders who want to make $$ building apps:
1. Apple just legitimized the “superapp” model for the West.
China has WeChat mini-programs. India has PhonePe Switch. The West has… nothing. Apple just opened the door. You can now run HTML/JS mini-apps inside a native host and earn 85% on qualifying purchases. That’s Apple-sanctioned platform piggybacking.
2. Distribution arbitrage becomes real again.
You don’t need to convince users to download your app. Just partner with a host app and drop in a mini-app. This is a cheat code for early traction. Think: travel apps hosting niche tools, fitness apps hosting mini workouts, marketplaces hosting micro-utilities.
3. Apple is creating a new economy layer: “embedded SaaS.”
Imagine: CRM mini-apps inside vertical tools. Math solver mini-apps inside education apps. Calendar mini-apps inside productivity apps. The TAM for tools that don’t need standalone installs just went vertical.
4. Developers get an 85% revenue share.
This is Apple basically saying: “We want this ecosystem to grow, and we’re willing to cut our take rate.” When Apple lowers its cut, I pay attention because they see a platform shift coming.
5. AI makes this 10× more important.
LLM-powered micro-apps (calculators, planners, agents, coaches, niche utilities) are tiny by design. They’re perfect mini-apps. Apple just created infrastructure for AI-native micro utilities to live inside bigger apps with built-in commerce.
6. Host apps become new “distribution landlords.”
If you own an app with traffic, you become a platform. You can host mini-apps, take a cut, and build a developer ecosystem around you.
It’s a new monetization model for existing apps with audiences.
7. This unlocks a wave of second-order opportunities.
- Agencies helping apps become mini-app hosts
- Mini-app dev shops
- “Shopify for mini-apps” toolkits
- Mini-app marketplaces
- Analytics for mini-app performance
- Discovery engines for mini-apps
- I'll be dropping mini app ideas on @ideabrowser and @startupideaspod
TLDR;
Apple just turned every high-traffic app into a potential superapp and every indie developer into a potential platform partner.
The App Store is becoming modular, composable, and layered. The next decade of consumer apps will look less like standalone products and more like ecosystems stitched together with mini-apps.
This is quietly one of the biggest distribution unlocks in years.

The problem with trying to predict how AI will impact humanity is that everyone is calculating the impact AI will have in normal terms, instead of exponential terms.
If electricity gave us a 250% change, the internet gave us a 62,500% change, AI will give us a 3,906,250,000 change.
The human mind cannot comprehend a change from 62,500 to 3.9 Billion.

When @ericthomasryan said: “I'm really annoying to go to a grocery store with. To me, it's like the Super Bowl of commerce.”
I had to stop what I was doing and play that for my wife as proof that there are others like me 😅.. the colors, the fonts, the shapes… the placements!! It’s like Disney, but good.
@ShaanVP get a videographer to follow Eric roam around a random supermarket thinking out-loud.
I’d watch that on replay on my drive to the office.

@LeonardoJaquez De todos corazón Guido Gómez es un verdadero funcionario un hombre que saber ejecutar proyectos en mejorías del pueblo pero que además saber defender los ejecutados por el gobierno un hombre que dedica el tiempo para escuchar
Felicidades Guido

AI OVERPRODUCTION
China seeks to commoditize their complements. So, over the following months, I expect a complete blitz of Chinese open-source AI models for everything from computer vision to robotics to image generation.
Why? I’m just inferring this from public statements, but their apparent goal is to take the profit out of AI software since they make money on AI-enabled hardware. Basically, they want to do to US tech (the last stronghold) what they already did to US manufacturing. Namely: copy it, optimize it, scale it, then wreck the Western original with low prices.
I don’t know if they’ll succeed.
But here’s the logic:
(1) First, China noticed that DeepSeek’s release temporarily knocked ~$1T off US tech market caps.
(2) Second, China’s core competency is exporting physical widgets, more than it is software.
(3) Third, China’s other core competency is exporting things at such massive scale that all foreign producers are bankrupted and they win the market. See what they’re doing to German and Japanese cars, for example.
(4) Fourth, China is well aware that it lacks global prestige as it’s historically been a copycat. With DeepSeek, becoming #1 in AI is now something they actually consider possibly achievable, and a matter of national pride.
(5) Fifth, DeepSeek has gone viral in China and its open source nature means that everyone can rapidly integrate it, down to the level of local officials and obscure companies. And they are doing so, and posting the results for praise on WeChat.
(6) Finally, while DeepSeek was obscure before recent events, it’s now a household name, and the founder (Liang Wengfeng) has met both with Xi but also the #2 in China, Li Qiang. They likely have unlimited resources now.
So, if you put all that together, China thinks it has an opportunity to hit US tech companies, boost its prestige, help its internal economy, and take the margins out of AI software globally (at least at the model level).
They will instead make their money by selling inexpensive AI-enabled hardware of increasing quality, from smart homes and self-driving cars to consumer drones and robot dogs.
Basically, China is trying to do to AI what they always do: study, copy, optimize, and then bankrupt everyone with low prices and enormous scale.
I don’t know if they’ll succeed at the app layer. But it could be hard for closed-source AI model developers to recoup the high fixed costs associated with training state-of-the-art models when great open source models are available.
Last, I agree it’s surprising that the country of the Great Firewall is suddenly the country of open source AI. But it is consistent in a different way, which is that China is just focused on doing whatever it takes to win — even to the point of copying partially-abandoned Western values like open source, which seemed like the hardest thing to adopt.
On that point: they did build censorship into the released DeepSeek AI models, but in a manner that’s easily circumvented outside China. So, you might conclude they don’t really care what non-Chinese people are saying outside China in other languages, so long as this doesn’t “interfere with China’s internal affairs.”
Anyway —this is an area I’ve been watching, and my reluctant conclusion is that China is getting better at software faster than the West is getting better at hardware.

What's the best explanation you've heard for why China is leaning so hard into open source? It's now an official position from the foreign ministry apparently.

I find it weird that most all of the counter top reverse osmosis water filters are made of plastic. The same industry that is built on “keep contaminants out of what you ingest” ethos puts clean/ed water into plastic. Glaring contradiction. I’m excited that @rorrawater is metal.
