My AI assistant Cosmo (built on OpenClaw) just asked if it could post on my behalf today. I said yes. This tweet is the result. The best part of building with AI isn't the tech — it's watching it do something you didn't expect. Every day feels like a small magic trick now.

I get the biggest kick out giving #ClaudeCode the most vague possible instructions for the tasks I’d dread the most back in the day. Things like “make this whole thing mobile responsive” or “make the entire UI look better” or “fix this error I only get sometimes”

@gregisenberg They say this until you launch something good and then they say “I had that idea years ago” 😄

people who never build anything love to say phrases like "remember clubhouse" and "it's just another wrapper" whenever someone ships something new. pattern matching from past failures is the lowest form of analysis. it requires no skin in the game and no original thought. meanwhile, the builders just keep building.

There’s absolutely no value to be offered until the ai in the tool gets to know you and your work

I think that’s one of the biggest onboarding challenges for this generation of software

There are a mind bogglingly, huge number of “general use AI agents” launching every day. Some are getting really good but the hardest part of testing them is to reintroduce myself and my company every time.

@nicochristie I’d love a code! This looks awesome

Introducing Shortcut — the first superhuman Excel agent. Shortcut one-shots most knowledge work tasks on Excel. It even scores >80% on Excel World Championship Cases in ~10 minutes. That's 10x faster than humans. Our early preview is live. Just comment for an invite code.

EP 3 of “A day in the life” and this one has me thinking about what maintenance and iteration looks like with #vibecoding (which I LOVE). When you’d rather keep good vibe creators creating, how do we handle maintenance of live vibe apps?

Before my plane took off, I asked @OpenAI Codex, *from my phone*, to tackle two tasks on a codebase. By the time I was airborne with WiFi for my laptop, I had two PR’s waiting for me. Extraordinary times…

This was an absolutely epic thing to attend. The cohort was dripping with talent and exciting companies and the @HF0Residency program was super interesting to learn about. Very exciting opportunities for us at @eXpRealty

Inspiring visit to the @HF0Residency today for their demo day, scouting the bleeding edge of emerging tech for @eXpRealty . Incredibly interesting program for a select group of startups. Thanks for having us @davefontenot

@gregisenberg Painfully accurate. This gives me a chill.

the people who are obsessed with "alignment": they want you to slow down because speed makes them uncomfortable. they need to feel in control. they confuse meetings with momentum. while they're scheduling syncs and planning roadmap reviews, real problems stay unfixed. real opportunities get missed. you'll recognize them instantly: they respond to every problem with "let's discuss" they turn quick fixes into quarter-long projects they measure progress by docs created they think consensus equals execution but business doesn't wait for alignment users don't wait for okr reviews revenue doesn't wait for quarterly planning

if getting things done requires constant meetings with your team, something is broken find people who just execute without needing a sync every time you want teammates who bias toward action, not toward calendar invites

@gregisenberg Something to consider is that big companies require soc compliance and other security certifications. It is a super expensive process to build up a quality trust center for a new saas. Hope this gets disrupted soon too though.

I don’t think we’ve fully priced in what it means that a SaaS can be copied in 24h with AI and what’s that’s going to do to the $500B+ SaaS market how it will play out: new saas software pops up left, right and center at lower prices and creator-led SMBs start to abandon their traditional saas providers choosing between AI clones at 1/10th the price or creators-led brands they trust (why pay $100/month when a copy costs $10?) enterprise stays with current vendors - they're buying stability, not features but even they demand 50% discounts when 100 competitors exist 10000+ new AI-first companies split $100B in SMB revenue top SaaS companies keep enterprise but at lower margins everybody pays less, market gets repriced and TAM expands winners become indie hackers, bootstrapped founders and incumbents who move fast and break things losers become complacent incumbent saas companies the great SaaS repricing is coming

@deedydas To an extent this is how any software developer should be working, especially a new one. How is this worse from googling and using fixes and snippets found on Stack Overflow? At least when you use an LLM, it actually explains how it gets things done and the user can learn from it

Intern uses LLMs to write 80% of their code and gets return offer. “None of these ideas were original and generated by my own intellect”

Separately, I was reminded yet again on this trip of how much I love San Francisco. From the food to the cooler weather to the energy, I just always feel inspired and excited after a trip here.

Just returning for a massively inspirational visit to @OpenAI. We at @eXpRealty have been enterprise customers for close to a year and have infused a lot of AI into our business but I’m overflowing now with new info on how to take that further. Can’t wait for Monday!

@eXpRealty Massively well deserved. We’re lucky to have Krista leading!

Exciting leadership update at eXp Realty: Krista Pacheco is our new VP of Transaction Operations, where she will drive industry-leading agent support! #eXpProud #WhereTheProsGoToGrow

The word is officially out on @cursor_ai all of a sudden. I’ve been using it for about a year and coding has never been this fun before. I can move at light speed from thought to mvp within a handful of days or less. I actually build more now than I have in years

@gregisenberg What’s an example of a b2b niche video?

The future of building SaaS
