all these designers buy a porsche when they make it but i didn’t get the memo so bought a sprinter van instead 🚐🤷‍♂️

AI will be like spreadsheets in the future, we’ll all use them and not talk about them, but right now we’re like, dude check out what’s in my spreadsheet

@Mark_Goldberg_ been doing this since the new year! you hook up a couple api’s to a cron job to make a report with claude and execs are like holy shit 🤯 most fun i’ve had at work in years! i structure it as a 1 hour per week meeting for $3k per month and those who want it don’t even blink

Someone’s going to make a lot of money with this idea: AI personal trainers for execs. AI-native 22-year-olds charging $1000+/hr to automate workflows, set up agents, etc. Can be done remotely. Oppt'y is bigger than the $50B gym trainer market.

oh: the jesus-take-the-wheel approach to software development 😅

@aymanalabdul 👋 doing this every day

Getting requests from clients for real AI implementation partners. All I'm finding are Vibe Code Bros or Zapier shops. I want firms that: • Diagnose the actual business problem • Bring PMs + Product + AI talent • Build + integrate into real workflows • Care about security and stability • Ship and iterate Who’s best in the world at this?

@Shpigford i installed enso first, got it running, and then told it i wanted it to import all the skills, jobs, and memories from my openclaw agent directory

@Shpigford i switched mine to enso and all my memories snd skills were ported over github.com/geekforbrains/…

okay, done trying to make OpenClaw work for my wife (i abandoned mine a few weeks back). what should i move her to? she’s got quite a bit of memory/session/history with openclaw.

@teddy_riker @hnshah the irony with salesforce is that the experience is so convoluted for humans that pivoting to agent-first might actually make people use it, since the UX will improve dramatically if its just claude you’re interacting with

@hunvreus this is harbour btw github.com/geekforbrains/…

yea, I’ve run a single agent overnight a few times, and it only works if I have a list of github issues clearly outlined on a 0-1 software project, and use a tool like harbour to cron their wake-up every few minutes the output has been like 70% satisfactory, as in it usually does a few tickets poorly, and i always think, “i’ll need to redesign that later.” but it does feel like magic to wake up to a bunch of finished issues. i know @geekforbrains is running small agent “teams” for various companies for customer support, bug fixing, ad spend optimization, and software iteration. he’d be worth chatting with if you want to hear no bs approaches to this stuff

Talking to smarter folks than me, I'm convinced many of the AI folks in my timeline are full of shit. Nobody is "running 20 agents over night" and building stuff for actual users. Maybe some are building internal tools or disposable software. Maybe. But building software people like using? That doesn't get hacked on day one or blow up after the 3rd user? Nope. I don't even understand what that's supposed to look like. Do you work out a 57 pages document that perfectly describes what you want to build and then summon 14 agents and have them run wild for 6 hours? And what comes out on the other end isn't a broken pile of shit? Nope. Not buying it. PS: it may also be that I have an IQ of 82 and can't figure it out.

@Santacandesign very cool 👏

Added a lil digital bookshelf to my site

@JakeKing @geekforbrains is working on harbour (github.com/geekforbrains/…) and it’s changed how i run dev projects

Who's building devtools in 🇨🇦right now? want my algo to be filled with cool people building cool shit up here.

@andrewamann this! watching this play out in real-time as our 0-1 revenue dries up while our enterprise clients keep asking for more

I'm getting calls from agencies that are dying. They all have the same problem. They solve easy things. Websites that used to be $50K are now $5K. Mobile apps that used to be $200K are now $10K. The entire bottom of the agency market is getting crushed. Why? Because companies can prototype and build internally now. They can use Claude, Cursor, and a hundred other tools to get from idea to MVP without ever hiring an agency. The bottom is dangerous. And it's only getting worse. Meanwhile, the top of the market is exploding. We just took on an airport scheduling problem. Tens of thousands of people. Dozens of edge cases. Years of development if you did it the old way. McKinsey would have charged $10 million and taken 5 years. We're doing it in 4 months for a few hundred thousand dollars. That's the shift. The demand for AI solutions isn't going away. It's moving upstream. Companies need harder problems solved. Voice automation for hundreds of thousands of calls. Scheduling systems with real logic. Custom AI that actually works in production. The supply of people who can prototype is exploding. The supply of people who can solve hard problems is shrinking. If you're an agency, your only option is to move upmarket. Find the million-dollar problems. Hire the smartest engineers you can find. And do hard things. Because the easy stuff? That's already dead.

@jmddotfm have any invites, or do i just need to wait?

I've just got access to this, and it is quite simply totally demented what it is able to do 🤯 The picker thing it injects into the page .... this is some Dieter Rams King of Braun era genius

@Cappy_Nate 👋

Started an Actual Canadian Builders group chat. -Hardware -Software -Space -Defence -Web3 -Health -AI -Energy -Manufacturing You name it. But it's a Canadian only zone. 🇨🇦 If you want in, drop your name in the comments and ping anyone who should be there! LFG! 💪🇨🇦🏗️🚀

@Appyg99 yep this what we’re doing @inputlogic 👌

I feel like the highest alpha today is in helping ops teams become ultra efficient by building them custom tools specific to the business using AI. Every large-ish company COO should be looking at loaning 2-3 engineers to help automate old/inefficient processes.

@pitdesi yep its wonderful

Anyone taken the Rocky Mountaineer? We are thinking about doing a family trip on it from Vancouver to Jasper... debating if the journey is worth it.

@shiftj 👋 @inputlogic

Massive trend I've seen in YC companies as well. The demand for internal AI transformations seems to be endless. Anyone working on an agency play here to fill the gap?

@Codie_Sanchez yes! we’re doing this @inputlogic for a handful of companies at the moment and it’s unreal how many processes you can swat with an agent/skills setup 🧙

Best money I've ever spent as a CEO... an internal AI transformation hire. He doesn't care about title. He just wants to ship. And he goes across your entire org, sales, revenue, hr, apps, tech and kills stupid manual processes. Such an underrated unlock I have since hired 2 more.

@TheGlobalMinima totally! the more i dig into this the more i’m like “dang i need to brush up on my bash scripts”

Been saying this for a year. Agentic AI is backend engineering far more than it is AI. This stands true for any technology, once you scale and abstract it enough, you’re only left with engineering problems. Learn > Event driven systems > Data pipelines > Distributed systems > API Design > Observability / monitoring

@enjojoyy @jmddotfm i would do the same, but of course, i would have asked about the orgs tech stack earlier in the process.

I have nothing but respect for this human
