BUILD YOUR OWN SOFTWARE FACTORY
The best companies in the world are all building their own software factories, using a combination of first party and third party tools.
The software factory is a set of background coding agents running in the cloud. Anyone at the company, engineering or otherwise, can invoke it from their phone or laptop. Different agents spec out the feature, submit a PR, do the review, and merge it into the target branch. (With the right human approvals based on the repo)
As @ericwilliamrea, CEO of @PodiumHQ , says: “one of our customers was having a problem; I tagged our software factory in the feedback on Slack; it went and cut a PR and built it and 15 minutes later we had a fix”.
CEOs: THIS is the best way to get your entire team - your PMs, designers, sales, marketers, execs - involved in the product development process.
Put a small dedicated team on building and continually improving your own software factory. The improvement in your team’s product velocity will be palpable.

Introducing Ask Tile.
Most AI tools require you to explain what you're working on before you can get anything done. With Ask Tile, that step doesn't exist.
Click on any element in your app: a button, a chart, a form, and an AI assistant opens with full context already loaded. Just ask for what you need. That's it.
It's a small shift in workflow, but once you've used it, going back feels painful.

Code generation is commodity. Top coding models have similar performance on coding benchmarks.
Agentic coding is the skill devs need to master. It’s going to radically transform engg orgs.

Building a mobile app isn’t hard.
Shipping a reliable, scalable one is.
We close the gap between both.
We’re building Tile.dev for teams shipping real mobile apps.
Not demos. Not experiments.
Apps that need reliability, scalability, and a clear path from idea → production.

@kavyanarukurti Try @tile_dev our team can help launch the app as well.
English
@naval Nope. UI is literally user interface. Most of it is visual. That maps to the way users are wired. Human brain is optimised for visual information processing. Text or audio doesn’t come close.

@karthikkalyan90 @arafatkatze @cline We use a combination of sliding window and summarisation. Now adding focus chain. Offloading context to file system or alternate persistent storage sounds promising.
English
Most AI coding agents suck at 60K tokens.
@cline easily handles 150K+ without memory loss.
The secret is three algorithms working in tandem:
- Sliding Window (crude but fast)
- AI Condensation (semantic and surgical)
- Focus Chain (persistent memory)
Here's how we solve memory:

@GergelyOrosz This happens more often than people will admit. Making engineering leadership own outcomes and working closer to sales/customers works out well for small teams.
English
This is so typical of eng leadership coming from Big Tech:
"The whole senior engineering leadership came from Amazon, where they were used to each team owning a distinct service. They tried to apply that model directly."
Copying *exactly* what they are used to. Though (cont'd)
Yatish Mehta@yatish_me
At a past company, the head of engineering and the principal engineers decided to break our Ruby on Rails application into a Go microservices mesh. They created very detailed design documents and architecture diagrams. They went all out and used Kubernetes, gRPC, service templates, the whole shebang. The whole senior engineering leadership came from Amazon, where they were used to each team owning a distinct service. They tried to apply that model directly. But our issues were with code ownership and poor domain modeling. The entire application could have run on just a handful of EC2 instances. What was the result? Five years later, 70% of the application is still running on the Ruby on Rails monolith. Never completed the migration. But now they have to maintain two systems. None of the original leadership works there anymore.

@damienghader @lovable Try @tile_dev build native apps for iOS, Android with in app purchase, push and telemetry built in

omg... no-code was supposed to help you launch faster
but it never got you to the App Store.
what if you could build a real app this week
and start making money from day 1?
mini story + what actually worked for me 🧵
English
@illscience @tile_dev building fleet of specialised agents that build native apps and ship on our deterministic, managed infra. Future is agentic composition.

The bitter lesson is coming for app gen and the best teams are already thinking about which investments are durable vs fleeting. More:
- Retention today is proportional to success rate - did the user get what they expected in a reasonable number of tokens (aesthetics / features / bug fixes / deployment)?
- Many smart teams have engineered around the constraints of models - context mgmt, parallelism, system prompts, design systems etc and are seeing real alpha as a result
- New models will be a tidal wave that overwhelms much of this work - teams will need to be ruthless and avoid sunk cost thinking + building new sources of alpha as needed
- The best teams are already thinking about durability - integrations, re-usable components, and routing inference / payments feels safe; the smartest thing I heard this week was “we’re leaning into the bitter lesson”
- The only thing I’m sure about at this point is that the world has 1% of the software it will have in 5 years
If you’re building in the space I want to hear from you - anish at a16z

We just updated our core framework and agent orchestration system that reduces token consumption by over 30% for all cases. Any errors will self correct in most cases. Effectively, you will spend less than half the tokens for the same outcome.
Rohit Modi@modirohit
The biggest ask from builders on @tile_dev is to improve token consumption. The team is working on an update that will significantly reduce token consumption while working with planner agent.

Set your benchmark against the absolute best in the world, not just the people around you.
Aiming for "best in the office" or "best in college" is a local maximum. Aim for world-class. That’s how you truly grow.

@amasad Multi agent systems will outperform single agent loops when context isolation is done well.

The Agent 3 team is fascinating to watch in action.
Jason ✨👾SaaStr.Ai✨ Lemkin@jasonlk
Watching multiple AI Agents now talk to each other and figure out issues >together< in @replit v3is my OMFG moment in vibe coding. I had 1 tough project to start, but then put 6 into production already with @Replit. All cool. But until now, I was always the "other" agent. It was me and Replie. Now having >multiple< agents working on architecture, security, DB bugs, and more in parallel, in real-time ... and/or agents that can change the 'hat' they wear ... And hashing out the issues together ... It's a real team of autonomous AI devs now, specializing in what they are good at, and working together. A little bit scary for the future, and a whole hell of a lot of cool.

@shreyas Precisely. This is the most important filter that separates true leaders from the rest.
English
Many leaders feel that they cannot “sign up” for business outcomes because many aspects of the business are outside their direct control, e.g. GTM sits elsewhere.
To protect themselves, they invent Exotic Metrics: finely segmented, complex measurements that capture only what they directly control. These metrics may look precise, but they don’t faithfully reflect the company’s real goals such as revenue, active users, new business, etc.
This defensiveness is understandable. In some orgs, missing a target — even one you don’t fully control — can get you punished.
But the most effective product leaders take a different stance: they still “feel responsible” for business outcomes, even without full control over those outcomes.
These product leaders understand is that even if you don’t ”sign up” for business outcomes, there is nothing stopping you from “feeling responsible” for business outcomes. Responsibility is permisionless.
Note that this is not just about semantics. When you truly feel responsible for business outcomes, you influence differently, think more broadly, and lead with more conviction than when you solely restrict your scope of responsibility to Exotic Metrics you fully control.
This mindset is a clear example of High Agency in action for product leaders.

@ItzSuds On a low base this works. B2B is expensive and scale of B2C even at today’s costs works if you can set the funnel to mid range ACV qualified trials/demos
English
Almost every other investor update I get these days is a co going from $0m->$Xm of ARR at a mind numbing pace.
There’s a new playbook for B2B sales being refined by founders in their 20’s which is basically B2C marketing on Social Media to convert eyeballs into B2B inbound demos

@ItzSuds @MaddySukoru Annual contracts is legit. Extrapolating on monthly is unreliable
English
@MaddySukoru I will take the signed and paid Annual contracts though! What are we thinking, 30% attrition at renewal? 40%? Still great for 2 months
