It’s launch day! The anti headache AI agent!
We just launched Calk AI 1.0, a new way to build AI agents that actually do work (no workflows, no configs).
Built between France and Canada over the past 8 months.
If you re exploring AI agents and want something simpler than the usual workflow tools, come say hi.
Happy to answer questions all day!
How many of you are planning to invest in AI influencers in the future?
Many brands have their long-standing mascots (McDonald's, Mr Clean, Michelin), etc. But with the development of AI, physical forms are moving online, and AI avatars look promising in this.
On one hand, it feels less human (authentic), on the other hand, AI influencers are a "cheaper" solution.
What is one thing that frustrates you the most about your data?
Given all the AI tools out there today, what is one challenge with data that still remains unsolved? why do you think it hasn't/can't be solved easily.
How I spent ten years on 18 projects to understand the fundamental rule of startups
My journey in startups began 10 years ago, and I've launched 18 startups, most of which failed. Briefly on why they failed:
1. Contract Online my first startup in 2015, which was supposed to be an online service for remote signing of contracts for any transactions between individuals. A kind of analogue of a secure transaction. For this startup, I even managed to attract a business angel who invested $16,500.
Reason for failure: I had two lawyers on my team who discovered in the process that the legal framework at the time could not provide reliable grounds for protecting our users in remote transactions. The contracts would not have been considered legally signed.
2. Natural Products In 2015-2018, I became very passionate about healthy eating, but in the process, I discovered that products in all chain stores are full of chemicals, and stores with truly natural products are inaccessible to the majority. Hence, the idea emerged to create my own online platform where you could order natural products directly from farmers at affordable prices.
Reason for failure: For several years, I tried to launch this project, even trained as a baker of natural bread and tried to create my own farm, but in the process, I found that few people are willing to pay for truly natural products, even if these products were only 20-30% more expensive than market prices, and not 2-3 times more, as in premium stores. Hence, the market was so small that all my attempts were doomed.
