@rjonesy @TaskletAI handles this well, imo

I can’t get any AI Lab app to do this: - check for certain things on a schedule - eg. news about something, change on some website, availability of some new flight - but only send a push alert if it finds something new They all send “nothing found” alerts.

@petergostev it already happened support.claude.com/en/articles/13…

Enjoy this brief period of time when agents are powerful but they are not fully workable via mobile yet. Soon there will be no escape and the psychosis that Karpathy talked about won't leave you. Right now you can go to the park, go for drinks, meet your family and you can be safe in the knowledge that there's not much you can do productively. In a matter of weeks this will go away, Anthropic and OpenAI will build out their mobile offerings properly and you'll have no excuse not to check in on your agents and see what else they can do for you - whether you are in shopping, walking your dog or on the toilet.

@daltonc @gruber great/recent read anildash.com/2026/01/09/how…

Uh thanks for creating Markdown @gruber

@larsencc @nbaschez Or just read this reactionwheel.net/2019/09/a-taxo…

@nbaschez Dw haha. Will take note of the recommendations!

This is not a moat btw

@mgsiegler still does not appear to be cracking any 30-day lists via appfigures.com/reports/app-pr…

Now atop the AI triumvirate…

@MartinBJensen Just some localized trend, nowhere to be seen in 30-day data

Awesome but why is Dick's #3???

@jazer yes! gregdocter.com/2020/07/startu…

Decision-making is an under appreciated skill for founders. There's so much chatter about how to build, how to launch, how to sell, how to test… All of these activities generate information, but there are few tools for using what you learn to make good decisions about what to do next. Which is crazy, because that's the whole point of a startup! Do something, learn something, adjust and repeat. We have created two powerful tools for decision making: Note-and-Vote and Magic Lenses. These are straightforward methods for making good, opinionated, fast decisions alone or with a team. We have used them hundreds of times with startups and for our own internal decisions at @CharacterCap They are based on our observations from work with 300+ teams, and on behavioral research about decision-making. 📝 NOTE-AND-VOTE When to use it: - You need to make a low-stakes decision, selecting one or more items from many options (>10) - Naming things, choosing headlines, picking dates, narrowing a broad list to a narrow set, etc How it works: 1. List all the options 2. Vote on the best options 3. Optional: Vote again with a limited set of votes per person 4. Decider makes the final call We often use Note and Vote in place of brainstorming — to generate and capture lots of ideas from the group, then narrow it down to a set of final options we can take as inputs to this next method. 🔎 MAGIC LENSES When to use it: - You need to make a high-stakes decision, selecting one or a few items from a set of up to ten options - Prioritizing what to do next, making strategy decisions, choosing between multiple approaches to solving a problem, etc How it works: 1. Create summary of each option 2. Write down the positive attributes for each option 3. Vote to select the most important attributes 4. Combine the attributes into natural pairings and construct 2x2 charts; these are your "lenses" 5. Plot each of the options on each of the 2x2 lenses 6. Zoom out and see which options are consistently in the upper right 7. Decider makes the final call Magic Lenses is really good for complex decisions. Teams often struggle with multifaceted decisions because they don't have a way to consider every angle without causing a cognitive "buffer overflow." So they debate and talk and spin and talk and debate... This technique fixes that. Both of these tools are integral to our sprints — we use Note and Vote repeatedly throughout every sprint, and Magic Lenses anchors the second day of the Foundation Sprint. But you can certainly use them on their own; we do it all the time! And they fit together nicely: A powerful combination is Note and Vote to capture everything and narrow to a strong set, then Magic Lenses to analytically zero in on one or final choices. Lots more to say / show about both techniques... I'll share a couple links below, and I'm happy to answer questions in the replies!

@lennysan there is nothing new about distribution being important x.com/justinkan/stat…

Distribution is the new bottleneck

@sbuss stair-building vertical SaaS co's are going to 0 for sure

There is no moat. I need to replace a small set of stairs, so naturally I built a little app to help me. And by that, I mean claude built it. All of it. I didn't write a single line of code. The future is just people saying "I need to do X" and the model gives you a fully built app to do it. stairbuddy.build

@mreiffy power law industry remains a power law industry brings to mind this 2007 gem nytimes.com/2007/04/15/mag…

@mreiffy not being a hater to you or the song! I'm thinking through the implications 1) Cost of quality creation to ~0 --> so more songs 2) what's the bottleneck then? --> brand, distribution idk that this ^ is all that different than today

I made a reggaeton banger… with ai Literally better than 95% of the songs out there. This should help you understand where we’re headed. See for yourself below.

@Farshchi Talks back AND has detailed history of steps / thought process so you can roll things back easily

Billion-dollar rubber duckies:

@nbaschez Yup that’s a screenshot from a 2021 post def. More complicated now slack.engineering/reducing-slack…

Everything is more detailed than it seems (also i'm pretty sure the real logic is even more detailed than this - they also account for if you have the app currently open or not and on which device)

@TurnerNovak Momentum is all you need

@nbaschez Damn CPA industrial complex

Getting there 😅

@SamDeBrule very cool, makes sense!

@gregdocter Fixed! NBA isn't one of my "watchlist" leagues, so fewer events are shown than if it were NFL, NCAAF, UCL, etc.

Using Claude Code as intended "Create a skill where when I ask for “live sports”, you show me what major sporting events are on today. i care most about College Football, MMA, NFL, Duke men’s basketball, Bayern Munich, and Champion’s League."
