@TheMattBerman @openclaw @GoogleAds Paid

I run my google ads with @openclaw for $0/month 😱 here's the system that runs autonomously: step 1: map what you're actually spending → agent pulls every keyword from your @GoogleAds account → classifies intent: buyers, researchers, comparison shoppers, freebie hunters → tells you if overspending on clicks or if you're buying the wrong ones step 2: kill waste before it compounds → @OpenClaw flags keywords burning budget with NO buying intent → specific negatives that won't kill your good traffic by accident → one account: 23% of spend on research queries. zero conversions. gone. step 3: separate winners from losers → buyers and researchers in the same ad group = bids optimizing against trash → agent shows you exactly which ad groups to break up → clean signal in, clean decisions out step 4: write ads from real buyer language → agent reads what your converting searchers actually type → generates RSAs from their words, → not templates. not Google's auto-AI. patterns from YOUR winners step 5: apply with instant undo → every change is a draft. dry run. confirm. done. → negatives, pauses, budget shifts w/ full audit trail → nothing hits your account without you saying yes step 6: morning brief + memory that compounds → /google-ads daily = what matters today. 90 seconds. → bleeding campaigns, wasted spend, what's ready to scale → week 4 catches what week 1 missed. it doesn't forget input: your google ads account + your target CPA output: an AI that kills waste, writes ads, shifts budget, and learns what works agencies charge $3-5K/month for this. this runs for $0. I packaged the entire system as the google ads kit. 15 @OpenClaw skills: - connect (setup + health check) - daily (what matters today) - audit (full strategic review) - search-terms (waste + signal + routing) - intent-map (compounds across sessions) - negatives (scoped, with collateral warnings) - structure (campaign architecture) - rsas (copy from buyer language) - budget (scaling grounded in signal) - apply (controlled writes + instant undo) giving it away free. comment PAID + like + follow (must follow so i can DM)

@cjpedregal Thanks for the update @cjpedregal ! @meetgranola has been a game-changing tool for our team. Really appreciate you updating your MCP!

There are some tweets out there saying that Granola is trying to lock down access to your data. Tldr; we are actually trying to become more open, not closed. We’re launching a public API next week to complement our MCP. Read on for context. A couple months ago, we noticed that some folks had reversed engineered our local cache so they could access their meeting data. Our cache was not built for this (it can change at any point), so we launched our MCP to serve this need. The MCP gives full access to your notes and transcripts (all time for paid users, time restricted for free users). MCP usage has exploded since launch, so we felt good about it. A week ago, we updated how we store data in our cache and broke the workarounds. This is on us. Stupidly, we thought we had solved these use cases well enough with our MCP. We’ve now learned that while MCPs are great for connecting to tools like Claude or chatGPT, they don’t meet your needs for agents running locally or for data export / pipeline work. So we’re going to fix this for you ASAP. First, we’ll launch a public API next week to make it easier for you to pull your data. Second, we’ll figure out how to make Granola work better for agents running locally. Whether that’s expanding our MCP, launching a CLI, a local API, etc. The industry is moving quickly here, so we’d appreciate your suggestions. We want Granola data to be accessible and useful wherever you need it. Stay tuned.

One of the most popular spots at #NVIDIAGTC convention was their “Build-A-Claw” tent, where attendees could try out @nvidia #NemoClaw, a new open-source software for creating AI agents based on the popular #OpenClaw. Definitely going to try this out. build.nvidia.com/nemoclaw

Oh wow okay we’re not that far away.. youtu.be/HOoRnv3lA0k?si…

Watching a how to go Claude + SEO post while ChatGPT plans my next trip in the background while I am ironing my laundry is my new Sunday morning norm. .. and also highlights I’m very ready for a Rosie the robot to do my laundry. Are we there yet @Figure_robot ?

@rabahrahil That was an excellent ad

Shots fired. I am so shocked how OpenAI fumbled the massive lead they had.

Awesome example of strong leadership and wanting to take care of early employees. Would love to see more later stage startups do this.

Most people have no idea what it actually takes to be a founder. They talk about vision, grit, or passion. Those words are props. What you really sign up for is a life where every decision feels like it costs something real. You will spend years being misunderstood. By your team, your family, even the people you hire to help you. You will fail in public and still need to keep the energy up in private. Every founder lives with the weight of knowing that you can do everything right and still get crushed by luck, timing, or somebody else’s mistake. Founders aren’t braver than anyone else. They just get used to uncertainty, then stop waiting for clarity. Most of your wins won’t feel like wins at all. The first revenue will be too small. The first team will outgrow you or leave. The first product that feels right will barely matter to the market. You will doubt yourself in private, sometimes every week. The founders who last figure out how to keep moving while the ground shifts underneath them. Most outsiders want the founder badge but none of the scars. They want the upside, not the drag. The hardest part is sticking around after every plan gets blown up and you have to rebuild with less optimism and more scar tissue. What makes it work isn’t relentless hustle or some mythical trait. It’s learning to make peace with constant discomfort, and then making decisions anyway. If you need constant reassurance, you’ll give up before the real work begins. If you want everyone to like you, you’ll never make the calls that matter. If you can’t handle months where nothing feels certain, this life will eat you alive. But if you can hold your own in chaos, get better at being wrong, and still want to show up and try again, you just might have a shot at building something that matters. That’s what it actually takes. And nobody cares until you make it work.

@rabahrahil That is indeed pretty damn cool! 🏈

If everything goes to plan (which it should) I will get the pleasure of watching the top three teams in the country play in next two weeks. 3 A&M v Tejas Friday 1 OSU v 2 (my) Hoosiers next Saturday How kewl is that!

@rtenbrink1 Hey Rachel - think I saw you at the MXV event last week. Did you capture this from the Build in NYC panel? Also totally agree!

SF is the place to dream, NY is the place to build SF is foundation models and infra, NY is industry Some companies could only be built in SF, some companies require the NY energy and connectivity

Had an amazing time at the @HarlemCapital Winners Circle Dinner last week. The room was full of standout late-stage founders. It was such an honor to attend & learn from all of them. @havandmar in Chelsea was the perfect backdrop. And, yes, Chef Marcus Samuelsson made a cameo!

@rabahrahil I’m ready for the next walk and talk next month!!

Got to jam with the queen @chathri on a little walk and talk yesterday (my girl doing big thangs by the way!). Told her my plans for the upcoming year and how my goal was to be a founder. She asked: “what about all the health you have built?! how are you going to keep it and work 18 hour days?” My response: “is it better to work 18 hours days at 50% or 9 hours at 100%?”

@rabahrahil Love that we’re learning from one another in each chapter of our careers. So excited for your next few months!

@mikefutia MCP

Claude + Facebook Ads MCP is legitimately insane 🤯 This MCP integration turns Claude into a full-stack ads analyst. Generates complete client reports with one prompt. Perfect for agencies & e-comm brands buried in Facebook Ads Manager data. The problem: Building client reports manually is brutal. You're exporting CSVs, calculating metrics, creating charts, formatting slides, all for data that's outdated by the time you finish. This Claude MCP setup solves it: → Direct connection to your Facebook Ads account → Pull any performance data with natural language prompts → Auto-calculates ROAS, CPA, CTR, conversion rates → Generates visual charts and breakdowns instantly → Creates formatted reports with insights + recommendations → All built in real-time from a single prompt No manual exports. No spreadsheet wrestling. No outdated reports. What you can generate: → Account-level performance summaries → Campaign and ad set breakdowns → Demographic and placement analysis → Custom date ranges and comparisons → Actionable optimization recommendations Built with Claude MCP.

“The next generation of founders will build the Connection Economy, technology that helps people feel seen, supported, and part of something larger. Systems where reflection, care, and reciprocity compound into belonging.” — @BrianWian medium.com/p/the-connecti…

Thanks for bringing the community together @oelayat @picnoulos. Can’t wait till the next one!

Awesome Vertical AI summit today in SF hosted by @euclid_vc ! Solid group of top tier VCs and founders all in one room. Best slide was highlighting the difference between problem first startups vs solutions first startups. #vertical #SaaS

At Accel Health, we built with this mindset from the start. Not just moving fast — but making sure AI helps us move even faster. #AInative #Startups #FutureOfWork

As one team I know said it: “Being too busy shipping to tackle technical debt is a trap. When velocity is key, a codebase AI can’t read, write, or refactor becomes a liability.”

The next wave of AI isn’t about betting on one tool or product. It’s about embedding AI into how your team operates: The questions you ask. The blockers you remove. The speed you move.
