@lennysan We were told that a lot of the time when toddlers ask why it’s just because they don’t know how to continue the conversation and they just want to talk to you. I don’t know how true this is but it makes the whole why thing much cuter and understandable!

Watch Cursor Composer 2.5 swarm 10 agents inside MagicPath, building functional pages, a mobile app, and a bunch of components for the same project. Then I export whatever I want into Figma. Pretty crazy. (video is not sped up)

I made a game where you have to ship a startup every 30 days. If you miss the deadline, you die ☠️ It's called SHlPORDIE.COM. It uses the same game mechanics that kept me addicted to World of Warcraft: You start as a Noob Pirate, and you complete quests to level up, like buying your 1st domain or getting 1,000 visitors. There's Discord for the social part, but you need to keep shipping to stay in (otherwise, everybody can see you walked the plank). Since 2022, I've launched one startup per month, and it has changed my life. I hope this game will change yours too.

Awesome share Jason. Sharing some thoughts that came to me.. Everyone indeed is saying productivity is the "worst" category. But that's extremely short sighted. Over time, there won't be winning and losing categories. In fact, there won't be categories at all. All software will converge. This is the belief and strategy we started ClickUp and were laughed out of the room too many times to count. But now, everything IS possible. If you zoom far enough in the future, everything is the only thing that will be around as far as large companies go. Every company can now build any product they want in nearly zero time relative to the past. So what will happen? Naturally, every company will build MORE software not less. Over time, this leads to all software converging. In the future you will buy all of your software (and AI) from one vendor. ClickUp will be the first. The primary 'why' behind our 100x ORG is actually way more simple... We are a PRODUCTIVITY company. Our MISSION is to make the world more PRODUCTIVE. I've had FIVE near death experiences. Each one makes me more obsessed with productivity. We provide productivity to our customers - so we MUST be at the forefront of productivity ourselves. AI exists for one reason only... PRODUCTIVITY. You use AI to be more productive. Everyone does. I very clearly see the AI future that will happen whether we do this first or we do this last. It'll happen either way. There is an organizational leapfrog available. We will look back a year from now and this won't be so controversial anymore. While we're at it, here's more futuristic thoughts that came to me when writing this.... PREDICTIONS 1) Software categories with historically little to no competition will get crushed - as AI coding allows new competitors into spaces that previously had none. 2) Yes, new competition will arrive in horizontal software as well. But it doesn't mater. The horizontal winners today are already used to thousands of competitors, thousands more won't change anything materially. Horizontal platforms that can execute quick enough win big in the short-term. 3) AI is stuck in single player mode today. That's already starting to change. Humans are now engaging with their agents and vertical platforms inside of your chat and work platforms. This is growing exponentially as we see it. Horizontal platforms unlock multiplayer AI - where humans and agents work together seamlessly. The same reason these categories exist in the first place, to enable human collaboration - are the reason they'll thrive with human engagement next (except for tech market, more on that below). 4) Vertical software dies. Horizontal software that's built in a compounding way (we call it 'Converged Software') will replace all vertical software using horizontal platform (personalized by AI). 5) Vibe coding is highly inefficient. I'm not even talking about your time/cost - I simply mean from first principles. Building apps 0 to 1 is insane. Vibe coding should be starting with .9 then going to 1. That last mile is all that's needed. This will change soon. 6) Additionally, building your own software is a builder thing. It's not a normal person thing. The vast majority of potential customers world-wide will never build their own software even if it was one click to do so. And they shouldn't, that's not what they do. 7) Chasing tech as your market is a race to the bottom. Yet most SF investors and companies seem to be chasing the exact same market. Yes, the $$ are there today - they are early adopters by definition. The rest of the world outside of X has never used an Agent, largely speaking. They've never used Anthropic, even if they've heard the name. Our market is 85% non-tech. This is where the real opportunity for delivering AI value is. More to come soon. 8) Everyone talks about a 'moat'. And the moat definition and prediction keeps changing doesn't it? I don't believe any of the moats that are accepted as moats today. Instead, the only moats in software of the future (outside of eng/tech market) are simply: (a) CONTEXT (in real time, injected in harness) AND (b) HUMAN ENGAGEMENT. Everything is changing faster than we can check twitter. I may be wrong about these predictions but one thing is for sure - everything we believe to be true today will not be true in the future.

I think folks are partially missing the story here. ClickUp is in the category perhaps most devastated by AI. Monday, Asana, etc. are down further than anyone. Atlassian/Jira was too until the last quarter. Literally the “worst” category of software in the AI Age. It was time to take radical action, no matter how well ClickUp was doing relative to peers. The only choice? Focus on 100x employees. And pay them. Otherwise, they’d just never get there. If you are in a category heavily impacted by AI, and especially if the public comps are way down … you have to take even more extreme action than the rest. No one is coming to save you.
