@askOkara Can you make it auto-update Webflow websites? 👀

Today we're introducing the world's first AI CMO. Enter your website and it deploys a team of agents to help you get traffic and users. Try it now at okara.ai/cmo

Having a lot of fun with @linear's new assistant in Slack. Write a detailed human description to the team, tagging the correct team member and just ask Linear to turn it into a ticket and it goes off and does everything for me. I don't even need to open Linear anymore.

Tip from an RL env founder: If you have limited capacity and can only work with one lab, instead of going with the lab that offers you the largest total contract size, go with the lab that offers the highest price per task.

We are building the AI education product that will replace School Looking for tutors & data labelers to help us build it. Rates from $50/hr -> $200/hr. Come help us delete school

@ben_m_somers DMed you!

@rishabhmjain TBF to @tobi this isn’t even a new concept it’s been around for ages, is super niche, and every few years someone “rediscovers” it and it can seriously be one-shot

Oof

@ayushjaiswal +1 😭

Superflu in California is really bad! Get a flu shot if you haven't already, really bad fatigue post recovery. Being sick sucks! 🥺

@adelwu_ The one in Sunnyvale is so popular that all the neighboring stores have “no molly tea parking” signs lol

everytime i think the bay is oversaturated with boba spots, another opens and the line is an hour long 🙆‍♀️ i’m part of the problem

Anyone else facing slowness on their GCP deployed services?

@MarkKnd Doing an ATS system? 👀

clean dashboard 🧽

Went to a founder event once assuming everyone was a founder and shared my struggles and current challenges openly. Other person was asking lots of deep dive questions. Turned out the other guy was actually a VC and genuinely was interested / curious. Moral: idk but being genuine helps?

this is real, unfortunately

@hu_yifei Gotta send me your PSN ID now 😎 Yotei is great!!

Got a nice birthday present from my girlfriend!

@aditabrm 🔥

Many companies with chart extraction in their features table, only one Reducto.

@nikunj Why not the other

@punkohl Leveraging

Obligatory - if you’re building closed loop systems that allow us to tab our work away - please reach out 👋

@ItzSuds Down to hang out in PA — used to live near the Philz but now moved a bit south to Sunnyvale

I’ve been trying to make Palo Alto a thing again, but I’m realizing no one under 40 fucking lives here. I *really* don’t want to live in SF. Do any founders exist in Palo Alto at all??!! I need some friends

Eerie. I built something very similar internally when I was at Apple. From my practical experience, users who use spider will also want to be able to clone templates, manage jobs and their statuses, reuse data from existing datasets (that they don't remember they had), do more types of preprocessing (you will have to create ability for users to create their custom nodes), etc.... fun and rewarding work.

Tinker for training exists, but Tinker for data doesn't. Yet, researchers spend most of the time on data preprocessing / generation and training integration. This Halloween, we introduce spider, ie. Tinker for data. It spins up a client for users to define a production-grade distillation run in a few lines of code. Features in the mvp: - For off-policy distillation, users can define custom preprocessing logic for any dataset, and spin up a remote inference engine for high throughput rollout generation. In 2-3 lines a whole dataset can be created. - For on-policy distillation revived by @thinkymachines , users can simply toggle on_policy: true so that the same workflow now admits a teacher model and on-policy kl supervision. Under the hood a Tinker service client is integrated. Again, 2-3 lines of code. We want to make spider as useful for open-source research as possible and support fast validation for experiment ideas. Next up we will implement the cross-tokenizer approach by @huggingface to support on-policy distillation from and to any model. And we will make filtering, inference, etc. more intelligent and simple for end users.

I've built 7 products. Spotted 4 trends early. Made $50K+ in revenue. But I'm hitting a ceiling & I'm looking for what's next. Here's my story👇: 4th grade: Made my first dollar selling Pokémon stickers I got free from grocery stores. Also got my first mobile. 7th grade: Got my first laptop and I was hooked to internet. 8th grade: Ran a mini lending ring at school. Friends forgot money for events, borrowed from me with a small markup, paid back next day. 10th grade: Started freelancing. Design, logos, social media. Worked with 10+ local cafes. Then COVID hit and I got 6 month window to explore. Everything paused. Came across Shark Tank for the first time. Discovered startups existed. Learned about self-improvement, money, finances, investments from YouTube. Started investing in mutual funds and crypto. I had tons of notes and journal entries from my teenage years ; stuff that actually helped me navigate that phase. At 19, I decided to turn them into a book and share it with the world. Published "Growing Up Wise" - a non-fiction self-help book for teenagers. Post-COVID: Started building products. 2023: Buddhi AI - Built a custom chatbot that could read documents and answer questions. - Back when ChatGPT didn't let you upload files. - Landed my first B2B customer - a 6-store bakery chain. - $2,500 setup + $200/month retainer. - They used it so customers could ask for recommendations without bothering sales reps. - Three months later: ChatGPT added file uploads. 2023: Chatmate - WhatsApp marketing software. - Rolled it out to 50+ local businesses at $5/month. - Most users were CA firms sending compliance reminders to clients. 2023: Launchify - Built a no-code NextJS MVP builder during the boilerplate wave. - Drag, drop, go live in 5 minutes. Readable code. Custom integrations. - Then Lovable/Bolt/Emergent launched and replaced the entire boilerplate category. 2024: Supaclip - Tool to chat with YouTube videos. - Upload any video → get transcript, summary, ask questions, custom chatbot. - 200+ paying users at $3/month. - Six months later: Google NotebookLM launched. Same product. Better reach. 2024: Shipify (AI Content Agency) - This one was different. Service business, not product. - Delivered 1,000+ videos/month for 6 months $15K monthly revenue - Trained 13 traditional editors in GenAI from scratch - Worked with growth teams of content first companies across Germany, US, UK, India - Then I shut it down. - Why? I wanted to build products. 2024: Quickmake - AI video maker. Small exit. - It was essentially all the internal systems from Shipify wrapped into a product. 2024-2025: Wellbi (Founder's Office Role) - Built the entire marketing stack from scratch: - Onboarded Sagepilot for AI customer support + set up WhatsApp campaigns and email drips - Integrated with quick commerce platforms like Blinkit and e-commerce platforms like Myntra - Support workflows. Creative design. Strategic ops alignment - Learned how to wear 10 hats and make systems run without me. March 2025 - Now: StoryOwl - Started as a custom storybook creation tool. - Now evolved into an everyday AI companion for parents and kids, making parenting more confident and guided. - Posted 3 reels. 7M+ collective reach. 8,000 waitlist signups - Built MVP in 72 hours. Shipped. Today: > 40K users > $4K/month revenue > 16K came organically (40% of total) I learned Meta ads from scratch - hit ~3% CTR on static creatives I made. Cracked UGC funnels for as low as $0.30 per acquisition. Spent nights in PostHog fixing drop-offs. Talked to 500+ parents on-ground to understand what they actually needed. Also personally created a few storytelling videos talking about my journey and learnings - crossed 600K+ impressions. Did everything: ideation, shoot, edit. I love sharing stories with the world. Two weeks ago: Submitted our first real version to app stores. Summer 2025: San Francisco - Spent 2 months at Founders Inc lab. - Met founders building consumer AI. Saw how they moved. How they thought in systems. How they built without waiting for permission. I came back knowing one thing: Velocity without the right environment is just expensive practice. What I actually want to do in long term ? I want to build something of my own. The founder energy, the responsibility, the challenges - that's the thrill I'm chasing. But right now, I want to focus on the learning curve. Work with the absolute best. See how the game is played from the other side. Test the waters before I dive in completely. What I've learned: I don't wait to be told what to do. I figure it out. Product. Ops. Growth. Design. Ads. Automation. Sales. Support. I've built systems, trained teams, learned tools from scratch when needed, and shipped under pressure. Ship → Learn → Fix → Repeat. That's how I move. Why I'm here: I'm not looking for a job. I'm looking for my next chapter. A place where I stop being early to trends and start being early to scale. But if you're building early-stage in the B2C consumer AI space where: - Speed beats perfection - Ownership beats titles - Figuring it out beats waiting - Untraditional and unconventional thinking beats safe And you want someone who'll build, break, fix, and ship without hand-holding - I'm exactly who you need. Anything non-traditional excites me. That's where I thrive. I'm looking for Founder's Office / Generalist / EIR roles. I want to work on product, ops, and growth. 📩 Let's talk.
