I haven't really introduced myself in a long time, so here it goes. I'm in my early 20s, running an AI-automation agency called @ConnectA__ We build AI agents and automation systems for real businesses ops, sales, data, messy workflows that usually break when scale hits. I’m still learning, still messing things up and still figuring out what actually works vs what just sounds good on Twitter. If you're a founder building in AI, automation, or agent-first products, I’d genuinely love to connect, not to pitch. Just to exchange notes and learn together.

@eliana_jordan I respect this a lot. Most people would’ve paused when unmotivated… what keeps you disciplined on those days?

Last week I said I felt unmotivated. Still showed up. No excuses. Kept going. And boom! “overnight luck” +500 followers in 2 days. If you were here, thanks for supporting If you’re new, welcome

@ElitzaVasileva I respect this a lot. Playing the long game changes everything… do you have a clear vision or just focused on moving forward?

I know I will make it one day. Not because I am better or smarter than others, but because I won't stop. Even if it takes 10 or 20 years, so be it.

@heyizmadz This feels like it filters for the right people from the start… was that the main goal?

I never offered refunds or guarantees. I call it commitment insurance. If people know they can quit, they never fully commit.

@CancilleriLuis_ I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately..... Do you think networking is becoming more important than applying?

The job market is now AI screening AI-written CVs. Recruiters: use AI to filter 400 applications Candidates: use AI to pass those filters Result: both sides flooded, nobody talks to anyone The only winners? The AI tools everyone's paying for. #ai #aiagents

@jamesredders1 @ZenO4AI This sounds promising 🔥 are they more focused on infrastructure or end-user tools?

Exploring new trends in AI + Web3. @ZenO4AI looks like a solid project to follow 👀 #AI #ZenO

@BartosErik_ NVIDIA mentions alone can move markets like this… do you think this growth is hype-driven or backed by real progress?

Čínske AI akcie prudko rastú po vyjadreniach šéfa NVIDIA. OpenClaw — open-source AI agent — predbehol v Číne aj USA. Preteky v AI agentoch sa zintenzívňujú. #AI #OpenClaw #NVIDIA #UmelaInteligencia #techmahindra bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

@aiwithbry I like this a lot. Do you think leadership should be the ones testing it first before rolling it out?

AI adoption doesn’t start big. It starts with one workflow. Use it yourself. Improve it. Scale it. That’s how AI becomes an asset 👉 bry.net #AI #Leadership

@MrPhilGames This is a cool twist on AI usage… does the assistant play alongside you or act more like a narrator?

You talk to your AI assistant every day. What if you could play a game with it? I built one. It's called Deep Hollow. #gamedev #AI #buildinpublic

@WadeTeman This hits. I’ve seen people stuck choosing instead of building… what’s your way of cutting through the noise?

Most founders don’t need more ideas. They need fewer decisions — made clearly. That’s the real bottleneck.

@WadeTeman This feels simple but powerful… do you usually set 3 goals or more like a full list?

Good morning! Start your day on a positive note. Get clarity by writing down a few goals for the day. They should definitely include making new connections and marketing. Speak to that stranger or make that cold outreach. You never know where a connection leads. Stack those small gains.

@BrosnanHoban @claudeai Nice, I’ve been seeing more people talk about this lately… how was the setup process?

Just set up Dispatch @claudeai 🙏

@thejustinwelsh This is such a good point. Do you think building your own structure is the real skill behind entrepreneurship?

Everyone wants to be an entrepreneur until they realize nobody cares about them. There's no orientation. No performance reviews. No one is checking to see if you showed up. Most people can't handle that. They need the structure more than they'll ever admit.

@stijnnoorman Facts… people will really wait to be “discovered” instead of just putting themselves out there. What helped you get over that?

Promote your work. Promote your ideas. Promote your offers. Promote your content. Promote your products. Nobody else will do it for you.

@EmailCopyJames I get the message, especially about taking control, but not everyone wants to build online… do you think there are other paths to that same freedom?

Here’s the hard truth: Most people will never escape average lives. Why? They follow the script: school → job → retirement. They wait for permission. They copy what everyone else is doing. You don’t have to. The internet rewards builders, not followers. • Start creating skills. • Start building an audience. • Start taking control of your path. Your freedom isn’t going to come from luck. It comes from consistent action and learning.

@Sli_Vinos This says a lot about how the game has changed… do you think modern discipline is more mental than physical now?

Discipline used to mean waking early. Now it means closing the tab.

@Sli_Vinos his feels like a quiet call-out but in the best way… do you think attention span is the real bottleneck for most people right now?

You don't need more information. You need a longer attention span than your problems.

What distribution channel is underrated right now?

What are you currently building?

The biggest AI opportunity isn’t building models. It’s fixing messy workflows inside boring businesses. Plumbing companies Logistics companies Healthcare offices Construction firms They’re drowning in manual work. And they pay. And this is exactly what we do at ConnectA. Helping business automate the most boring task.

@kylegawley The idea is simple, the discovery is the hard part.

just build something people want it's that easy guys
