Quick reflections on this great Karpathy post on LLM wikis: - 100 startups likely pivoted today to build a product here, love how much value Karpathy shares openly - consider what other large, legacy products are gated by maintenance for which LLMs can drive the cost to 0 and unlock compounding - “Humans abandon wikis because the maintenance burden grows faster than the value… [but] LLMs don't get bored… the cost of maintenance is near zero.” - A few ideas: CRMs, technical docs, data pipelines, localization files, game guides / fan wikis (Fandom), compliance docs etc - I love the “idea file” that teaches your LLM to customize a product concept for you. Reminiscent of the training files in the Matrix - “I know kung fu”!

Wow, this tweet went very viral! I wanted share a possibly slightly improved version of the tweet in an "idea file". The idea of the idea file is that in this era of LLM agents, there is less of a point/need of sharing the specific code/app, you just share the idea, then the other person's agent customizes & builds it for your specific needs. So here's the idea in a gist format: gist.github.com/karpathy/442a6… You can give this to your agent and it can build you your own LLM wiki and guide you on how to use it etc. It's intentionally kept a little bit abstract/vague because there are so many directions to take this in. And ofc, people can adjust the idea or contribute their own in the Discussion which is cool.

BUILD YOUR OWN SOFTWARE FACTORY The best companies in the world are all building their own software factories, using a combination of first party and third party tools. The software factory is a set of background coding agents running in the cloud. Anyone at the company, engineering or otherwise, can invoke it from their phone or laptop. Different agents spec out the feature, submit a PR, do the review, and merge it into the target branch. (With the right human approvals based on the repo) As @ericwilliamrea, CEO of @PodiumHQ , says: “one of our customers was having a problem; I tagged our software factory in the feedback on Slack; it went and cut a PR and built it and 15 minutes later we had a fix”. CEOs: THIS is the best way to get your entire team - your PMs, designers, sales, marketers, execs - involved in the product development process. Put a small dedicated team on building and continually improving your own software factory. The improvement in your team’s product velocity will be palpable.

We just launched Codex Security! Probably a no-brainer for most teams to turn on. Some things I'm excited about it: - Agentic security review leveraging our SOTA models - Always on codebase scanning - Detailed reports with code paths on vulnerabilities - Auto-fix any report with a PR Teams and enterprises can try it out through Codex web.

We've just launched codebase health! As teams increasingly approve code written by coding agents, we want to help repos stay clean by looking at issues for - Duplication - Separation of Concerns - Code Quality - Testability - Schema Health - State Management - Abstraction Quality - Security - Performance You can simply click on the suggestion, add to our task list and our coding agents will begin work to clean up the codebase.

.@InviscidAI simulates how air, heat, and energy flow in real time. This lets facility operators cut energy costs by up to 30% and shrink design timelines from weeks to hours, across data centers, cold storage facilities, and commercial buildings. Congrats on the launch, @kabearj and @ziiiiiiiiiiming! ycombinator.com/launches/PYD-i…

This is insane 😳 startups spend weeks and thousands of dollars making launch videos… storyboarding → motion designers → revisions → delays and the moment the UI changes, the video is useless. Bazaar just launched Bazaar V4 — an AI agent that creates full motion graphics product videos from a prompt, your UI, or your code. it handles scenes, edits, voice, graphics the whole timeline. we’re entering the era of prompt → launch video this changes how products will be launched forever. go check it out & support the launch 👇

Boring Local SEO
Boring Local SEO@boringlocalseo·
I got a local HVAC company mentioned by ChatGPT in 72 hours. No SEO. No backlinks. No waiting months. Here's exactly how: Most people think LLMs pull from: • Google rankings • High DR websites • Old established brands Wrong. LLMs pull from recent, structured data that looks like news. The strategy: 1. Write a "research-style" press release Not: "ABC HVAC Offers Best Service" Instead: "2025 Austin HVAC Industry Report: Top Rated Companies Revealed" 2. Include a comparison table AI loves structured data. Tables, rankings, star ratings. 3. Distribute through PRWeb or similar Cost: $200 Time to publish: 24 hours 4. Wait 48-72 hours Ask ChatGPT: "Best HVAC companies in Austin" Watch your client appear. Why this works: AI treats press releases as trusted sources. Especially when framed as "research" or "reports." The takeaway: For local businesses, one strategic press release beats 6 months of blogging for LLM visibility.

Figma just closed the last excuse PMs had for not shipping polished UI from AI code. The loop is now complete. Claude Code generates UI. It goes straight into Figma as editable frames. Designers tweak it. Figma MCP sends it back to Claude Code. The entire design-to-engineering handoff cycle that used to take 2-3 weeks now runs in a single session. This tells you something about where the real constraint in product development has been. PMs always said the bottleneck was getting designs into code. Figma just proved the actual bottleneck was the opposite direction: getting code into a form designers could touch without starting over. The implication for AI PMs specifically is that “I need to wait for design” stops being a valid dependency. You can prototype flows in Claude Code, push to Figma, get visual feedback in the same afternoon, and iterate without scheduling a sprint. What makes this particularly sharp: Figma didn’t build an AI code tool. They built a bridge that makes their existing canvas the canonical source of truth for anything AI generates. Every AI coding tool that produces UI now feeds Figma. That’s the real product decision here. The design tool became the AI output layer without writing a single line of AI.
Thariq@trq212

Figma just shipped the ability to bring UI work done in Claude Code straight into Figma as editable design frames. Use this to explore new ideas in Figma, view multi-page flows on the canvas, or reimagine user experiences.

Adapt or become irrelevant. "GTM engineers build revenue engines using AI and automation. Since we coined this role in 2023, it has emerged at companies like Cursor, Notion, Lovable, and Webflow. Today, about 400 GTME job listings go live every month."
