Built by APE | Austin Product Engineering

Tools for monkeys, made with robots, used by humans. 10yrs selling enterprise software to execs who'd never open it, while the people doing the actual work got handed whatever landed on their desk. Building for the second group now. Austin, TX.

@zeeg Buddy. I don't trust anything you put out.

imagine not having expertise in software and trusting (literally) anything these agents output

@astnkennedy Grow up

I'm 22 years old and Claude Code is deteriorating my brain. Every single day for the last 6 months I've had 6 to 8 Claude Code terminals open, waiting for a response just so I can hit 'enter' 75% of the time. And it's doing something to me. In convos with a couple of friends, it's been a point that's been brought up pretty frequently. None of us feel as sharp as we used to. I don't know if it's just us, or others in their 20s are feeling the same thing, but it's something I've been thinking about a lot. P.S. I know this is a problem with my reliability/usage of it, not Claude Code itself, but the effects are real nonetheless

@brockpierson Nate Austin, Austin Texas. Nice to meet ya.

Who are you?

@1a1n1d1y Too the marrow! The short way is the long way.

it can’t end if you’re never forced to quit so keep finding ways they will always be there

@ProductHunt They open walled gardens.

pitch your product in 5 words or less 👇

@asaio87 Problem solving is problem solving. Hard disagree with your assessment of intelligence.

harsh truth: AI will make developers dumber in the long run.

@boardyai The big accounts hurt

@chefsevenn Cash only businesses.

What comes to mind when you see this steak..

As weird as it sounds, the Jedi Survivor games have a great blend of exploration and guard rails. I opine that SAAS should be the same, engineered balance for each domain. Flexible for domain specific workflows but gaurded so the user isnt paralyzed with options.

@linderps CSCCa, NHSSCA, NSCA, CSCS. Transfer protocols got nothing on the S&C acronym game.

mcp, cli, api, abg

@akcushman On it. I have questions though and it’s too noisy to ask em here. If you’re cereal for real, message me and I’ll ask my disco Qs. No creepo. Just a sales guy. Respect to your Navy service Mam.

Request for startups: I want an AI agent that plugs into my slack, email, Attio, LinkedIn, granola, etc. tracks all correspondence with our pipeline + potential prospects — and then reminds us to follow-up if we haven’t heard back from them and ingests all relevant context

@marc1919 @follard Good list. I disagree on order but it’s a good list.

@follard Austin's food scene is getting much better all around, but Houston is legitimately world-class. Bagels anywhere but NYC will always be sub-par, but these are my current rankings for ATX: 1) Wholy Bagel 2) Nervous Charlies 3) Rosen's 4) David Doughies 5) Rockstar

Austin has an incredible food scene and one that is so different from other US markets. Where else is the best food often served out of a trailer or food truck? Where else can you eat a Michelin star meal at a picnic table? But there is a missing piece: our bagels suck.

@follard Don’t goto Nervous Charlie’s with that attitude.

@goth600 I know you said one question. Sorry. If you stare into the void long enough, what happens? The Abyss stares back. It’s unsettling. The Void sounds more lively, less stare-y. Idk, I’ve never been.

@Built_by_APE Void, things go on in there

100k follower special, ask me anything

@clairevo All I hear is Migos reading these things.

@CashToWealth @sama They named it Cyber like it’s specifically tuned for Cybersecurity…… leave being cool to us cool kids. Thanks.

@sama named it "Cyber" like it's 2003 and we're all still on Internet Explorer. the model better be good though.

we're starting rollout of GPT-5.5-Cyber, a frontier cybersecurity model, to critical cyber defenders in the next few days. we will work with the entire ecosystem and the government to figure out trusted access for cyber; we want to rapidly help secure companies/infrastructure.

@tekbog @OpenAI Gnomes, pineapples, rubber duckies. Yeh. I ain’t going in that hot tub.

@OpenAI what about gnomes?

We’re talking about Goblins. openai.com/index/where-th…
