Today we're launching AI Marketer by @BiteSpeed. Brand owners and marketers have long struggled with 'guesswork' in marketing. - What should I send next? - Which segments actually convert? - What are competitors doing that’s working? Most decisions are based on instinct and not intelligence. Which means wasted budgets, campaigns underperforming and high-ROI opportunities being missed. We thought, what if we could combine the taste of a world class marketer with performance insights from 1000s of brands and skip the guesswork entirely?

You don't need another AI note taker. You need the honest truth about how you can improve. So excited to see this live

What if Granola and @lennysan had a baby? That's what I built into Work Coach. World class insights personalized and delivered when most helpful.

0.9% → 7.89% conversion rate Same product, same traffic, the only thing that changed was the landing page structure 📄 A+ landing page anatomy ┃ ┣ 🧱 Hero ┃ ┗ you have 2 seconds, make a promise they can't scroll past ┃ ┣ 🧱 Magazine logos ┃ ┗ "as seen in" for instant credibility ┃ ┣ 🧱 Benefits ┃ ┗ don't say what it is, say what it does for THEM ┃ ┣ 🧱 UGC ┃ ┗ strangers trust strangers, not your brand yet ┃ ┣ 🧱 Stats ┃ ┗ "94% less shedding" closes more than "amazing results" ┃ ┣ 🧱 Testimonials ┃ ┗ your happiest customers are your best salespeople ┃ ┣ 🧱 Product details ┃ ┗ carousel + add to cart, this is where the sale happens ┃ ┣ 🧱 Timeline ┃ ┗ "here's what happens after you buy" kills buyer anxiety ┃ ┗ 🧱 FAQs ┗ the graveyard of every objection standing between them and checkout Every section has a job. Miss one and you're leaving money on the table @ecomwize builds this entire structure with AI in 5 min Comment "LP" and I'll send you this exact template (must be following)

All of the AI launches recently are for companies: "replace employees with agents" and "reduce headcount by 25% because of AI". That's why I'm amped to show off work coach's latest feature: a coach that observes your meetings to help you get better. Built for you, not for your company. You don't need another meeting transcriber, you need something giving you the straight honest feedback that will help you. Whether you're interviewing for a role, onboarding at a new company, or trying to show off your leadership skills, you need someone in your corner helping you get better. Thanks @Remotion for making this INSANELY easy to make.

Snippet requests used to mean describing what you need and hoping for the best. Now you can build the complete Snippet yourself and submit it for approval, formatting, abbreviation, and labels included. No back-and-forth. No guesswork.

Sales reps type the same appointment details hundreds of times a week. Brad Sicotte (20 years in sales) uses TextExpander's Date Picker to book meetings in seconds. Pick the date, fill in the name, done. Watch how he does it 👇

@JJEnglert Guide

I've used Claude Code to build 20+ projects in the last 6 months. Thousands of new users across them. And I've never written a single line of code. I just dropped a 24-min video with my top 10 tips for non-developers — the exact playbook I use every day to run multiple AI agents that handle work that used to take me a full week. This is the best beginner guide to learning and building with Claude Code out right now. Every tutorial I found assumes you're a developer. This one doesn't. I cover everything from first install to running multi-agent workflows — with live demos and real examples for every single tip. How I set up new projects, how I got Claude to match my writing style, how I automate repeatable workflows with one command, and how I run multiple agents working on different tasks at the same time. I also built a full resource repo to go alongside the video — curated video tutorials, the best skill libraries, plugin directories, MCP server guides, written docs, community links, and a starter CLAUDE.md template you can copy-paste into your first project today. Comment "GUIDE" and I'll send you the full guide with everything you need to learn Claude Code! (make sure we're connected so I can DM you)

See you on Thursday !

Amazing.

1.05 billion. That's how many times someone typed a TextExpander shortcut this year and got exactly what they needed. No asking around. No hunting for the right wording. No repetitive typing or typos. Knowledge management that actually works. How does your team handle this?

🗓️ Yay! Pumped for our new (and much-requested) Date-picker fill-in. This is a classic, in the sense that it is deceptively simple from the outside, but fiendish little details beneath the surface. Much like a swimming 🦆 . Check it out.

I’m happy to announce that I’ll be joining the Oklahoma City Thunder as a Basketball Operations Analyst Intern this winter! Working for an NBA team has always been a dream of mine, and I’m grateful to the defending champs for making it possible. #ThunderUp

Congrats Pranav 🎉

Everything I learned about strategy in building HubSpot: Watch the competition, but never follow it: I got this line from Arnoldo Hax, my strategy professor at Sloan, and repeated it so many times that it is ingrained in HubSpot’s DNA. It is relatively obvious at this point that HubSpot competes with Salesforce.com (a formidable competitor). We very carefully watched them, but tried not to “follow” them—see next lesson. When everyone is zigging, you should zag: Regardless of what you think of Peter Thiel’s politics, he wrote a really good book on startups called Zero To One. In it, he talks about how you need to be right about something that everyone thinks you are wrong about for a long time. This type of “zagging” worked for HubSpot three times. First, we decided to focus on SMB (more M than S, btw) and stuck with it when everyone and their brother thought we should move to the enterprise. Second, we decided we would move from a marketing application company to a CRM platform company, competing with Salesforce, when everyone and their sister told us we were crazy to try because they were too hard to compete with. Third, we decided we would “build” (craft!) our CRM in-house as opposed to acquiring our way there when everyone and their cousin told us that we needed to follow ye olde CRM M&A franken-playbook. Don’t trash talk: I somewhat recently watched the U.S. Open tennis finals. In the remarks after the matches, I always appreciate how respectful the players are toward their opponents and how they express it. I feel the same way about Salesforce; they are a very good company that is hard to compete with, and no good comes in “poking the bear.” [h/t to my co-founder Dharmesh for coming up with the “poke the bear” analogy and many other brilliant things] Creating a category is harder than it looks:  HubSpot created the “inbound marketing” category.  Pulling that off involved writing about zillion blog articles, giving a jillion speeches, writing a book, running a conference, etc.  We invested way more energy in creating the inbound marketing category in the early years than we did in marketing the HubSpot product.  …So, when we wanted to go into the sales category, we thought we could just re-run the same playbook for “inbound sales.”  Failed.  When we went into CRM, we thought we’d create a new category called CMR, “customer managed relationship” software.  Failed.  When we released our CMS, we thought we’d create a new category called COS, “content optimization system.”  Failed.  In retrospect, we caught lightning in a bottle with “inbound marketing.” Either you are eaten by a platform or become a platform:  In the early days of HubSpot, we used to pitch the company as “Salesforce.com is to sales as HubSpot is to marketing.”  Under our breath, we’d always say “until Salesforce.com wants to become the Salesforce.com of marketing.”  Well, one day they did.  They picked up Exact Target, Pardot, Radian6 and Buddy Media all within a few months and built themselves a very large Marketing Cloud business.  We decided at that point that we ought to pivot from being a marketing app to a CRM platform ourselves, lest we be eaten.  This turned out to be a very good call in hindsight.  [h/t Steve Fradette, co-founder of Toast]

@rvivek Whoa! Very nice. Invite?

Sora 2 is brilliant. The physics, audio, and visuals look so on point.

@tomnovy @TextExpander Hey Tomasz, I'd love to learn more about how you envision using a TextExpander MCP server. calendar.app.google/HvQxs24ZLn2KeN… has my availability, and I am flexible if these times don't work. Looking forward to it. Thx.

@TextExpander please add an MCP server to your product for easy integration with AI. Thank you.

I regret to inform you that personal growth rarely comes from acquiring new knowledge and always from periods of intense humility (i.e. your ego finally relenting)
