@RealProductGirl Not a coincidence. I think as building gets cheaper, attention naturally gets harder. The edge is shifting to things like taste, narrative, and distribution. The best builders don’t just ship product, they ship context. 🚀

The best builders I know have quietly become great marketers too. Starting to think that's not a coincidence. Thoughts?

@joshthacker Awesome session on this today! 🚀

I run a profitable SaaS with 6 AI employees. - Bob (CEO): Weekly OKRs, management, escalation, course correction. - Bill (CTO): Product reliability, bug triage, engineering follow-through. - Bridget (CCO): Customer retention and pro-active customer advocacy. - Riker (CMO): SEO and social media growth engine. Drafts posts, routes for my approval. - Howard: The world's foremost expert on entrepreneurship through acquisition (or aspiring to be). - Marcus: He's a Private Equity associate that runs outreach through CIM collection. Named after the Bobiverse series. If you know, you know. I am not joking. This is how I run the company. The product is SearcherOS. A Salesforce-caliber CRM for people trying to buy a business. I built it using Claude Code, Cursor and OpenClaw. I have never written a line of production code in my life. The acquisition search process is brutally manual. Hundreds of broker sites. No structure. No workflow. I built it because I was living that pain as a searcher. Claude Code built the product. OpenClaw scales everything else: go-to-market, distribution, customer operations, growth strategy. A solo founder cannot think fast enough, write fast enough, or execute fast enough to reach serious ARR alone. OpenClaw is the only way to close that gap. A year ago this made no sense. Too expensive. Too slow. Too dependent on engineers. That math has changed. If you can think in systems, communicate clearly, and design process, there is nothing you cannot build right now. How long does this window stay open? I do not know. I intend to find out.

@sierracatalina @CtrlAltDwayne @elonmusk @beffjezos Nearly every progressive future-leaning/thinking parent I know would like this type of solution for their appropriately aged kids... My niece and nephew need this.

@CtrlAltDwayne @elonmusk @beffjezos I mean they claim to have one now. that happened after my departure. I have since, built my own. not grok. just a kid safe, parent controlled, model agnostic platform & orchestration model that allows parents to define their family values.

Fractional Cursor acquisition. xAI taking the right steps

@andruyeung These junk policies make it so I would never be a customer of theirs again... Hopefully businesses like this die in the future.

Equinox's gym policies are actually hilariously absurd If for some reason, you want to pause your membership, you can do so for 90 days But you have to pay a non-refundable $50 fee every 15 days you remain on freeze Plus, you get charged a $300 one-time freeze fee Meaning you pay $600 just to pause your membership for 3 months.

@IngridGerdes Incredible.

@laurenfrailey1 Out of curiosity, what were those other 15 countries done alone?

25 years old & have traveled to 15 countries alone but apparently thailand is where my parents draw the line (i’ve paid for all my own stuff besides tuition since i was 18)

@nerdnite @andruyeung Literally scroll up and look at the original post that it is replying to. 💯

@JarrettGoetz @andruyeung Hey, Sorry, I can't tell what this is referencing?

I'm OBSESSED with this business. I've been following them for over a year - way before they blew up. What it is: - Professors and experts giving lectures inside bars - Topics ranging from psychology to astrophysics to philosophy - Tickets are $40, and you get to meet other people and learn something new The appeal is clear - you show up, grab a drink, learn something new, and meet curious like-minded people After a month of trying, I still haven't been able to snag a ticket. It's constantly sold out From what I can tell, the whole thing is bootstrapped They run 300+ events a year They likely don’t pay venues anything Tickets are $40 And with the right team, this becomes a beautifully efficient business I don't know the owners, but I'm guessing they're doing $2M-$3M in revenue at ~80% gross margins. It's an amazing lifestyle business. But when you scale this nationwide, it can easily become a $20M+ business And more importantly, I believe this is what the future of IRL experiences looks like People are tired of digital everything They want in-person, physical, analog - real events with real people Events like this are going to explode in the next few years. Hundreds will pop up. And I think there might even be a venture-scale opportunity here

@paularambles Never! 🚀

@sodofi_ Ever try Landing?

@alessio_joseph It's gotten significantly worse just in the last month or so...

can anyone explain this. why is apple completely useless now

i just got fired from apple. my job was to make it so finder gives you zero results even when you search exact name matches and file formats

@SquidSynth35962 @sama I'm not sure, but if this were going to happen, it seems like it will anyway. (I still have all mine.)

@JarrettGoetz @sama Will I lose my access to 4o and the past conversations and projects? I have a few conversations in my projects I'm worried about losing the continuity of how it replies.

Wanted to provide more updates on the GPT-5 rollout and changes we are making heading into the weekend. 1. We for sure underestimated how much some of the things that people like in GPT-4o matter to them, even if GPT-5 performs better in most ways. 2. Users have very different opinions on the relative strength of GPT-4o vs GPT-5 (just the chat model, not the advanced reasoning one). This is a cool thing you can try: x.com/flowersslop/st… 3. Long-term, this has reinforced that we really need good ways for different users to customize things (we understand that there isn't one model that works for everyone, and we have been investing in steerability research and launched a research preview of different personalities). For a silly example, some users really, really like emojis, and some never want to see one. Some users really want cold logic and some want warmth and a different kind of emotional intelligence. I am confident we can offer way more customization than we do now while still encouraging healthy use. 4. We are going to focus on finishing the GPT-5 rollout and getting things stable (we are now out to 100% of Pro users, and getting close to 100% of all users) and then we are going to focus on some changes to GPT-5 to make it warmer. Really good per-users customization will take longer. 5. The team is doing heroic work to optimize our systems and find more capacity, but still, we are looking at a severe capacity challenge for next week. We are still deciding what we are going to do, but we will be transparent with our principles. Not everyone will like whatever tradeoffs we end up with, obviously, but at least we will explain how we are making decisions. Thanks for your patience with us; we will continue to react and improve quickly!

@sama I call bs on point 4. I'm a pro user and still don't have access to GPT-5. I'm eager to see how it stacks up to the legacy of 4o with the accuracy of the responses that have anything to do with machining.

@solysolz Reminds me of the show The Lazarus Project.

The world has already ended several times

@snehilprakash @petergyang What tools did you use to create it? 0

I used to feel the same — most AI agent stuff sounds cool but rarely just works. But I’ve got one setup that actually runs on autopilot and saves me time every single day: – Checks my Gmail – Summarizes important emails – Flags anything urgent – Sends a quick digest to Slack every morning – Logs action items to Notion automatically No pinging, no chat — it just does its job. I built it using Make (Integromat), OpenAI API, and some basic integrations with Gmail, Slack, and Notion. Zero coding. Runs daily like a quiet assistant. One of the few AI workflows that actually feels useful in real life.

I feel like outside of coding, real world usage of AI agents is nascent at best. Someone prove me wrong - what's an AI workflow or agent you've set up that's super useful? Something that runs automatically and gives you value without you having to go back and forth with it?

@rubenhassid @antonosika ?

@antonosika I fixed it, and it never uses dashes, bold (because I can't copy it), and makes list with the list formatting (so I can copy it).

@johnrushx Solid list. One question, you have so many listed that seemingly do very similar things, why do you need so many that do something like web scraping? What is the differentiator between then or your use case that makes it so you cannot focus on one or two of them?
