@stoolpresidente Narrator, “They did not blow it.”

If Philly blows this it will go down as one of the greatest chokes in the history of sports.

Anyone else seeing inconsistent tool calling in OpenAI Apps SDK in ChatGPT free compared to paid accounts? Is this a thing everyone is aware of?

We've had people using our MCP since January, but today we got our ChatGPT app approved so people can enable it with one click, right from ChatGPT (free users too). chatgpt.com/apps/aweber/as…

Claude Code gets me.

Just gave the most engaged webinar of the hundreds I've ever done. The difference was I focused almost entirely on how, not why. People often know why they should do things (that's why they attend). They're starving for someone to show them how.

Facebook says my cost per lead for my newsletter ~$3. But only 35% of those leads open an email and 16% click one. Best case, my cost per engaged lead is ~3x what Meta tells me. This isn't a catastrophe; but it reinforces the fact that Facebook isn't telling you the whole story

@scohen I had the check the specific post before answering, but no!

@ClickPop wait, is this ai posting right now?

Feeling mildly insulted that no one has commented "AI" on any of my illustrations.

@Shpigford This ruined my day.

I usually like beehiiv's marketing; but claiming to have the first MCP in the space is completely wrong. We've had one at AWeber for months. Just google [ESP] MCP and you can see their claim is patently false.

@arvidkahl Agentapi was going to be the name for our child if she'd been a boy. A classic, traditional human name.

I can't tell you the number of times I've gotten questions from people about why their open rates tanked, only to see they got clipped in gmail. That's why we show you how close to getting clipped in gmail you are right in our AWeber editor. No nasty surprises.

Roast my newsletter.

@Shpigford Agreed, although it hurts my heart. The Claude MCP UI / OpenAI apps update make the argument really convincing.

as much as i don't want it to be, i'm increasingly convinced chat IS the best UX for just about everything

I freaking love the Chrome Dev Tools MCP. In my dev flow, Claude write the code, writes the QA test plan, tests it in the browser, fixes the things it can, and then sends me a list of questions and suggestions.

@arvidkahl @jamonholmgren I can say the same for AWeber. MCPs are really useful for non-technical power users of assistant apps.

@jamonholmgren So I added an MCP into Podscan, and now several definitely non-technical people (who were neither confident or capable with CLI or API tools) have integrated my SaaS into their ChatGPT and Claude Web workflows. I'd argue MOST SaaS integrations outside of dev tools are like this.

The vast majority of MCP servers can just be replaced by CLIs. Change my mind.

@psomkar1 I really don’t know what internet you folks are using. Sure, you probably can’t deploy something that’ll be usable to thousands of people. But I’ve seen plenty of people ship production websites and small scale webapps.

Unpopular opinion If you can't code, you can't vibecode.

Managing your subscribers just got a massive upgrade. Search is up to 12x faster, plus you can see how they engage, share what you find with your team, and never lose your place in your list.

If you're an engineer, and your problem with AI is that it doesn't create high quality, usable code, that's a you problem. There are reasons to be skeptical of or oppose AI; but the idea that it can't create good working code in 2026 is completely untrue in most use cases.

@DorianDevelops Yeah! I’m like, I’m asking you because I don’t know in the first place!

Does anybody else hate when their AI chat gives them two options to choose from and wants to know which one is better?
