I've spent my entire adult life thinking about travel. Built Sonder from the ground up as a college student to a $600M a year business in under 10 years.
For the last six months I've been obsessing over how AI will change travel. TLDR: it will change everything.
I've put together a stellar team and next week we're launching a preview of what we've built.
It's been a game changer for early testers.

I spent 47 hours building what might be the most profitable n8n workflow ever created
it's generating $50K/month in "brainrot" videos while I sleep.
these "Reddit story" videos are pulling 50M+ views consistently
and I'm about to show you the exact money printer that faceless creators are using to hit 6-figures
here's what this machine does:
- scrapes viral Reddit stories from any Reddit's post URL
- generates AI voice over
- adds Minecraft parkour background footage that triggers dopamine hits
- automatically syncs AI voiceover with animated subtitles
- renders and exports vertical videos ready for TikTok/YouTube Shorts
numbers don't lie
one workflow run = 1 video ready to upload
zero editing.
zero manual work.
pure automation.
I reverse-engineered what the biggest faceless channels are doing
they're not just posting random content
they cracked the dopamine algorithm:
- background gameplay keeps eyes glued
- AI voices create parasocial connection
- reddit drama hooks emotional investment
- vertical format maximizes mobile retention
the secret sauce isn't the content
it's the systematic production at scale.
while everyone's manually editing videos for hours
smart ones are running workflows that pump out viral content 24/7
this workflow handles the entire pipeline:
✓ Content Scraping
✓ Voice generation
✓ Video composition
✓ Subtitle timing
the same system printing money for channels with 500K+ subscribers.
but here's the kicker...
most people will bookmark this and never take action.
the ones who do? they'll be running their own content empire within 30 days
want the complete n8n workflow + setup video tutorial?
Comment "STORY" + repost + follow
I'll send you the JSON file and step-by-step instructions
your content game will never be the same

Excited to introduce Icon, The First AI Admaker.
We’re backed by Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund & execs of frontier AI labs like OpenAI, Pika, & Cognition.
Icon (icon.me) is like ChatGPT + CapCut, but for making winning ads with AI in minutes.
How it works:
1. Icon looks at your video library & tags scenes (e.g. "close-up," "unboxing"). These scenes become reusable clips used as lego blocks for making ads.
2. Prompt Icon’s AdGPT to generate scripts focused on specific angles & audiences.
3. Icon finds perfectly matching clips for every script scene & generates an ad that is 80-99% complete.
4. Make edits with our CapCut-like video editor until you're happy.
3-person creative teams make 30 ads per month. With Icon, they make 300.
We co-built Icon with $100M+ revenue brands like Ridge, Jones Road, Immi, Backbone, & MUD\WTR to solve big pain-points:
1. Making lots of ads is extremely painful. Icon helps you automate the tedious parts of scriptwriting, scene matching, video editing, audience research, UGC creation, & more.
2. AI-generated ads look like trash. Icon remixes your existing footage into new ads, matching your production quality & maintaining brand aesthetics.
3. Existing solutions charge $2K-$30K/month for:
🔍 Competitor ad spying & cloning
📈 Creative analytics
📹 Custom & stock avatars for AI UGC
👥 Audience research
📁 Video storage & tagging
Icon does scriptwriting & video editing on top of everything above for just $999/year (their margin is our opportunity 😉).
If you’ve made it this far, we have a surprise for you 👇🏻

The Doordash founders told me about two techniques they learned during YC that they still use: Doing things that don't scale (paulgraham.com/ds.html), and using weekly growth rate as a target when launching new things (paulgraham.com/growth.html).
