@TechByTaraa It’s still here it’s just broken. I spent more time fixing it than using it. Waste of time and money… 🚮

@alexwg Where is @Apple in all of this? 🤔

@gregisenberg @howietl is hoping you spend $10M on credits while you build your “100M” company 🤣. At a 10th of the price it would still be too expensive. 🚮

I sat down with Howie Liu, the CEO of Airtable ($500M+ revenue, 1 billion in the bank) and asked him: is there really 1 trillion up for grabs in AI agents? His answer: it's way more than that. It's the entire GDP of white collar labor. Tens of trillions. Here's what stood out: 1. Howie runs 30 Claude Code instances in parallel on HyperAgent. Each one is coupled to a browser, fully autonomous. They review each other's PRs. That's how the CEO of a $10 billion company develops software right now. 2. He wrote his most recent board memo with AI agents. His best investors told him it was the best memo he'd ever written. It cost him $150 in tokens and 10x less time. 3. His take on why people aren't building: they're still using agents like chatbots. They ask "who's going to win the next election" instead of giving it a real multi-hour task. Using is believing. You have to spend a full weekend going deep. 4. AI agents are at less than 10% penetration in most industries. Software engineering is at 50% but even that's an overestimate because most devs are still in "tab autocomplete" mode. The frontier has moved way past that. 5. He revealed HyperAgent. Think of it as the visual agent builder that gives you a low floor and a high ceiling. You can prototype fast and also scale to running serious operations with a fleet of agents. 6. Howie's philosophy/POV: HyperAgent is to agents what the iPhone was to computing. The power was already there. The accessibility is what changes everything. Good news Howie is giving $1,000 in free HyperAgent credits to the first 1,000 people who sign up. $1 million committed to listeners @startupideaspod. You get Opus, frontier models, real agent workflows. You just gotta click the link in the description of the YT vid (share this with a friend to give them the $1000 too before it runs out!) youtu.be/nyO60uzTnP4 episode is live on @startupideaspod and thanks to Howie for supporting the community/channel. @howietl is rooting for you to build a $100 million company with less than 5 employees. So am I. watch

@julianweisser Applied! Truzzel.com

I want to work with you (and invest $100k) if you… 1/ are building solo 2/ feel what you’re building is a calling, not work 3/ have paying customers (or have a good reason you don’t yet / building a moonshot) DM me about the upcoming Solo Founders Program

@theo Never would’ve thought you could skateboard. Impressive

Still got it

@theo LFG!

Still don’t have the pop I used to but I’m happy to be in the air again :)

@steipete Can you fix @openclaw so it doesn’t break all the time… that would be more helpful than anything. Maybe codex can help you!

Here's codex validating a [macOS only] launchd issue I previously had that you can't reliably reproduce on a non-fresh install. Crabboxes ftw!

Marketing. Distribution. Scaling. When is AI going to help with this? Or does it already and I just don’t know about it 🤔anyone built any marketing tools or know how to build a distribution network without selling your soul to social media? I’ll test immediately.

Bro disappeared like never existed.

@chatgpt21 hope you are ready for your life to be changed then

@sama Making the switch now

5.5 xhigh in fast mode is really good i think i got psyoped by twitter on medium for a bit

@MichaelDell @UTAustin Inspired

This is where it started. 42 years ago: a dorm room at @UTAustin, $1,000, and a belief that technology should be personal, powerful, and accessible. FY26: $113.5B in revenue — an all-time record. The world has changed. The mission hasn’t. AI is the biggest platform shift of our lifetime, and @DellTech is built for this moment. To our customers, partners, and the Dell team: thank you! 🙏 We'll keep building what’s next. Onward 🚀 #PlayNiceButWin

@S_N_SH_E_ Truth

Most “AI founders” right now are just: prompt engineers with a landing page. Where exactly is the moat?

@miiightymitch I’m not 100% sure yet. I haven’t really tried to market on X so I don’t really know if it works or not. We shall see.

@ProvenialAIHub Finding X useful for getting customers or just attention from other builders?

I’ve been in a build loop for 6 months. One idea is always better than the last. Just ship something, get a customer, learn to support and secure it. Thats where the rubber meets the road. Best of luck to all the builders and thank you to the frontier models for the opportunity.

@buildwtim That’s when your ideas and expectations get put to the real test. Kind of ish I would have built a simpler product lol

After a customer shows interest in your SaaS, that’s when the real challenge begins 🤦‍♂️😄

Been in a build loop where one idea is always better than the last and never really shipping anything. I finally shipped one and have a customer. It’s so much harder than what AI will make you believe. Testing, supporting, securing… not really covered from our vibe code friends Codex and Claude Code too well. Or maybe it’s just the prompts… haha

Everyone wants to build an AI startup no one wants to talk to users so tell me: have you validated anything or just building in silence?
