There are thousands of ideas. The real challenge is turning them into products. I'm exploring how AI helps builders go from idea → product. Here I'll share: • AI tools worth using • product-building workflows • experiments & MVPs • lessons from building apps Sharing everything I learn along the way. If you're building with AI, follow along.

@sahill_og Initially yes. Once I have my 10-50 (perhaps 100) ideal customers, I‘d probably spend more time building (50-50?) based on their feedback to polish the product.

Building an app is 20% coding, 80% telling people it exists. What's your opinion??

@rcmisk I‘d try to get at least 3-4 people by direct message giving them an insane referral/commission offer to let them be my sales force to multiply my outreach.

you're launching tomorrow. no audience. no email list. no budget. you have 6 hours to get 10 paying customers. what's your exact move? be specific.

@andrewchen Technically true. But for some people 100% of the parts can be replaced.

AI isn’t about replacing people. It’s about replacing the parts of people that can be replaced, so that we can focus all our time on doing new stuff

@sushbuilds Completely agree. Those are some nice stats. Congrats. What‘s the timeframe?

Harsh truth about being a "Reply guy" It is exhausting!! Yet many people do it anyway.. Why? Because of it's pay-off! You understand the algo better and it compounds big time! 1.7M impressions in two weeks! 5M soon! Let's goo!!🚀

@twostraws How come I have never heard of this package? Chain, compacted, uniqued, minmax seem so obviously useful.

compacted() replaces the common compactMap { $0 } pattern, product() eliminates nested for-loops, and uniqued() removes duplicates from any sequence. Apple's Swift Algorithms package is full of small wins like these. Have a look: hackingwithswift.com/articles/243/w…

@mhp_guy That was interesting to watch. I loved his advise „Know your customer“. They certainly do and they seem to execute that well.

This guy is making $7M/ year sending physical letters And If that isn't crazy enough, he was making about $36k/mo within the first 4 months. The advancements in AI these days are incredible, but as more opportunities come up with tech, the more opportunities you'll find completely opposite of that. This is a perfect example, it's freaking awesome and an absolute must watch Try and name another business - Doing 7 figures - A subscription you get in the mail - Multiple niches to choose from - You can start with next to nothing Check this one out.

Coding with AI agents makes you 10x faster. Until you hit your usage limit and have to wait for the next billing period. It‘s like starting a race from pole position and running out of fuel after the first lap.

@nikitabier This is awesome. I totally needed that. My time is my most precious asset. It cannot be wasted on low quality articles.

We’re rolling out summaries for Articles now. Just tap the Summarize button if you want to know if it’s worth your time to read it (or if your attention span is 12 seconds).

Yay! I was waiting for that eagerly. I had built my workaround iOS shortcut to achieve this. Now it‘s built-in. 👏 👏 👏

@antonosika Was that video made with the launch video feature?

Introducing Lovable for more general tasks. Lovable has always been for building apps. Today it also becomes your data scientist, your business analyst, your deck builder, and your marketing assistant. This is a big step toward what Lovable is becoming: a general-purpose co-founder that can do anything. See examples below.

@felixhhaas This sounds amazing. In particular being able to create launch videos. As excelling in distribution becomes more and more important I‘d love to see more in that direction. Anyway, great news.

Introducing Lovable General Tasks 🔥 You can now build way more than just apps: → Analyze data and generate PDF reports → Create marketing assets for your product → Build interactive pitch decks → Produce animated launch videos I am personally so excited about this. Lovable is becoming the entire startup stack in one interface. Build your product, design your pitch deck, create your launch video. All in the same place. The team has been relentless. We're just getting started.

@AnthropicAI I‘m surprised only 11% want more time freedom. What happened to the 4-hour work week? AI is the best tool to do everything more efficiently. Don’t do more. Reach your goals in less time.

We invited Claude users to share how they use AI, what they dream it could make possible, and what they fear it might do. Nearly 81,000 people responded in one week—the largest qualitative study of its kind. Read more: anthropic.com/features/81k-i…

We now have AGENTS.md SKILL.md SubagentXYZ.md CLAUDE.md PLAN.md RULES.md README.md DESIGN.md C’mon. There must be a better way.

@CodeWizard Be were your customers are and engage (listen, be helpful, don’t pitch).

As a founder, what’s the best way to get your first paying user? 1. Building in public 2. Cold DMs 3. Paid Ads I'm asking because patience isn't exactly my strong suit 😆

What's the most OVERHYPED AI coding tool right now vs the most UNDERRATED one you're secretly loving? My take: Apple Intelligence in Xcode 26.3. is overhyped. I still love using Cursor. Share yours.

@thorstenball I think (and hope) so, too. Right now, they are just a workaround to close gaps. I wouldn‘t mind if it‘s built-in or obsolete.

Lately, whenever I open this app and see the latest tricks, and hacks, and notes, and workflows, and spec here and skill there, I can't help but think: All of this will be washed away by the models. Every Markdown file that's precious to you right now will be gone.

@thekitze Of course. Local laws still apply. This is just a proposal for more laws.

no way germany would let this slide without overcomplicating this process to maximum lol

Why are you so convinced it’s a game changer? It has some good ideas indeed. But national laws still apply fully. It requires new laws, setting up specialised judicial chambers or courts. It’s more bureaucracy not less. If it‘s fully digital why does it take 48h to setup and not 15 minutes?

@fizzibitz @EU_Commission It's definitely coming, it has full support in the EU council. The proposal will go to parliament and they may change a few details or not but expect it to happen. It's going to a huge game changer so worth hyping.

We are introducing EU Inc. To make building and growing a business across the EU faster, simpler, and smarter. 🔸 Start a company in less than 48 hours 🔸 No minimum capital requirement 🔸 Fully online and borderless

@chillippo @EU_Commission How?

@fizzibitz @EU_Commission They are introducing means it’s live. I guess. Anyhow I am getting one tomorrow. Let you know how that went

@twannl Nice. 👍 I check it out once my rate limit resets tomorrow. I‘m out of Codex messages atm.

@fizzibitz Merged! Let me know the new results 😉

My iOS Agent Skills are packed with knowledge. I even include things you'd think an LLM already knows, like: - "Use Observable instead of ObservableObject" - "Use async/await instead of DispatchQueue" You might think Agents know these things, but in my experience: - They need strict guidance - They still make rookie mistakes - They get influenced by your code patterns, which often still use older APIs Even though training data is there, my Agent Skills guide your agents toward better iOS development. The risk of this approach is token usage. An inefficient skill will eat your context, leaving less room for the actual task. That's why my skills are: - Optimized for token usage - Designed for Agents navigating through reference files Code examples are intentionally minimal: just enough for an Agent to know what to do, nothing more. The latest release of my Concurrency Agent Skill saves ~4,000 tokens per query through smart routing, with zero loss in knowledge depth.
