Super proud of the team for this launch. We saw that even after syncing automations and dependent assets/endpoints into Operator, our users wanted an easy way to document complex ops workflows. Using Notion style @ mentions in Operator means you just have to write out a process and it will automatically monitor/update any of the mentioned assets. Now live and hopefully the first step to solving the headaches of manual documentation

📢 We're excited to announce that our two most requested features are now live in Operator, reinforcing our mission of helping ops teams move quickly while maintaining stability. Meet Process and our new @make_hq integration! 1. Process: A New Way to Document Workflows ✍️ Write out documentation effortlessly - just @ mention any automation, endpoint, or external resource - it’s all automatically synced and tracked so your documentation never goes stale again 👀 View all processes in a list, filtering by tags to see workflows that matter to you (e.g., those involving teammates like @CCafeo). 🚨 Activities & Issues: monitor updates and problems on any assets mentioned in a process 💬 Flexible Formatting: use rich text and external links to document workflows in a way that works best for your team 🔗 Apps & Linked Assets: quickly access automation cards and all the apps used in a process 2. Our @make_hq Integration: More automations, all in one place 🤝 Unified Management: sync and manage your Make scenarios right alongside Zapier in Operator 📣 Stay Updated: keep track of changes in real time with updates on the Timeline page 🔌 Connect Easily: link your Make account using an API key with full permissions flexibility Full demo video below. To the moon y'all!

🚀 After 2+ years of collaborating with ops pros from our community, we're thrilled to announce the launch of Operator Beta! 🎉 They all discovered the magic of #NoCode, built game-changing automations, and became their team's hero. But as word spread and their quick fixes morphed into critical infrastructure, managing those automations required a new level of cross-application observability. When we noticed that the world's best no-coders were solving for this with sprawling, manually updated spreadsheets, the seed for Operator was planted. Today, Operator is the world's first automation management platform designed for @airtable and @zapier (with @make_hq and Airtable Automations in dev) that: 🔍 Visualizes cross-app dependencies 📄 Auto-generates current documentation 📜 Unifies activities across apps into one changelog 🚨 Sends proactive alerts for automation issues 🤝 Enhances collaboration, training and onboarding If you're a no-code automator, we'd love to give you superpowers to fortify the #NoCode ecosystem you've worked so hard to champion. Join the beta below💪 NoCodeOps.com/operator

Founders: how many times have you stopped yourself from saying “love you, bye” at the end of phone calls with your co-founder? Me 👉 too many to count.

[1/3] So stoked to finally announce our new, unified @nocodeops brand: NoCodeOps.com. Our community, product, newsletter, and conference are now all a part of one ecosystem empowering ops professionals using #NoCode. 🧵...

Fun learnings in here about the human role in phase 1 AIGC game creation: Humans as QA (does the thing work as intended), design director (choosing style, giving feedback on direction), and producer (budget and picking vendors)

So, you think GPT-4 can't make a complex game... think again! Here's how I used GPT-4, @Replit, MidJourney, Claude, assembling a team of AI assistants, to create a 3D space runner from scratch with ZERO knowledge of Javascript or 3D game programming Follow along for a saga! 🧵

@danshipper mostly agree, but would hesitate to go all-in on an ai startup right now. Feels like when the dust settles we will have 1-2 winners in chatbots, will then be the right time to build on top of them. Similar to the first App Store devs building flashlight apps

@kevin2kelly I find it easier to see its first attempts at output vs trying to write an overly complex prompt

I'd like to chat with anyone who is regularly (daily?) using chatgpt/bing/sydney/bard for practical purposes, and to hear what you are doing with it, and how it helps. Also if you are paying for it, or willing to pay.

Some related @sivers wisdom: “The adding mindset is deeply ingrained. It’s easy to think I need something else. It’s hard to look instead at what to remove.”

I’m a big fan of systems that acknowledge hard constraints on time/energy/resources. When you’re younger and time feels unlimited, it’s easy to spend it poorly. I’ve noticed my friends with kids might only have 2 hours to spend on craft per day, but they use that time well

One of the best “exercises” given in the @DrAndyGalpin x @hubermanlab Guest Series... The “Quadrant System” helps identify where you’re currently placing your energy. You get 10 points to distribute across the categories below. Where are you currently giving your points?

But just as mobile didn't kill web, I don't think saas is going anywhere. It's still early days, but it's worth thinking about - how saas data could plug into the assistants - which features are complementary with a chat input box vs competitive

Once the dust settles in the next 12-18 months with a handful of smart assistants living in Slack, browser, etc, I think some saas UI will become redundant. For example, I likely need fewer dashboards if I can just ask a question related to metrics and get the answer

It's an unsettling time to be a product builder as AI brings our next platform shift since mobile into focus 😅 Kinda hard trying to balance the reality of what models are capable of today while predicting where our products fit into the assistant UIs right around the corner
