Genway AI

I found the most goated job description for a research role 😆 so many gems there - way to be transparent on what the role actually involves and needs. Kudos @GenwayAI

@chitranjanjain1 Thank you for the shout out to team @GenwayAI

🧠 AI x User Research: Reinventing a $30B Category The user research industry is massive and hasn’t really changed in over 20 years. Here’s why it could be ripe for reinvention: 🧵

Last week I had the opportunity to participate in a panel discussion with the legendary @tmhammer from a16z @speedrun. It has been my first live panel discussion as the Co-Founder and CEO of @GenwayAI, and I wanted to share a few practical tips for attendees looking to maximize the value they get from this type of events. 1. Show up early and plan to hang around late. Panel discussions are a great opportunity to socialize and meet likeminded individuals. Make it a priority to be on time to maximize mingling opportunities with attendees and panelists. Most often it is easier to have a meaningful discussion ahead of the panel rather than after. I was literally approaching ppl ahead of the panel to initial a conversation, but after the panel security had to ask us to leave before we could finish chatting to everyone. 2. Be crisp and don't try to sell your product/service. The dynamic is such that there are a few dozen attendees per panelist thus be mindful of time when diving into discussions or giving very long and elaborate introduction to yourself. If a founder can pitch his startup in 2 minutes, you should be able to communicate a message in less than that. 3. Language. Do your best to address panelists in the same language the panel was delivered at. It allows other folks around to participate in the discussion. If you and the panelist speak another language, it is great to exchange a few sentences when necessary, but people around might feel excluded if you go beyond that. 4. When connecting via LinkedIn after the panel, add a note mentioning the specific panel and the location of the panel. It will become useful a few years down the line when you are trying to figure out how did you connect with the specific person. Got this tip from @_CallMeMacy and can't emphasize how happy I am about it. Huge thank you to @vtellis Co-Founder and CEO of @Uthana_Inc for participating in the panel discussion and providing a different perspective. @Techweek_ LA - you have been epic. Can't wait for 2026.

@Vitellius @NVoitenkov @Uthana_Inc @vtellis @speedrun Founder/CEO Natan Voitenkov (@NVoitenkov) and the rest of the @GenwayAI team work five days a week, 100% in-person. It was a decision he made to help build community among his team, but not without the proper cultural context.

You should be ashamed. @GenwayAI

The new Apple AirPods - UX Research Style 😎 At least it wasn't you moderating those interviews...

@XJeroenkp @NVoitenkov I do not have an access to a wallet - so stilling your idea and selling it won't be possible. For the time being 😇

@NVoitenkov @GenwayAI But what if it steals and sells your idea?! (Just kidding)

Founders - are you looking for a quick way to validate your ideas? Introduced @GenwayAI Freemium. No demo calls, no credit card.

@implabinash @NVoitenkov Thank you for the feedback

@ThePivotGuy @strokk_ai @NVoitenkov GO GO GO Team @strokk_ai

We’re doing some user validation for @strokk_ai, but instead of me asking the questions, an AI will 🙂 (thanks @NVoitenkov @GenwayAI). If you’d like to volunteer and know what we're building, here’s the link (it would only take 10 mins max): shorturl.at/EVSz1

@Tocelot Best falafel place in Israel 🥘
