... note before we start: What follows is fiction. A thought experiment set in an alternate world that only looks like ours by accident. Any resemblance to real labs, real bosses, or real workplace policies is the reader s imagination doing the heavy lifting. With that out of the way.

... running Contral as a pilot in their CS programs. The idea of students learning to code inside an actual IDE instead of switching between a tutorial and an editor resonated hard with the professors we spoke to. Nothing signed yet but the conversations are real and moving. Bug reports have been humbling. Our early users don't hold back and thats exactly what we needed. We've shipped fixes almost daily since launch based on real user feedback. The product ... ... semester. To everyone who upvoted us on launch day, downloaded the beta, reported bugs, joined the Discord, or just sent us a DM saying the idea resonated, thank you.

... about to buy. So when someone asks an LLM for a tool in your category do you show up? Most founders type their product name into ChatGPT for the first time and feel that quiet panic. Competitors show up. Inferior products show up. They don't. SEO gets you on Google. GEO gets you cited by AI. They're completely different games and most founders don't even know the second one exists yet

In freight and logistics alone, a study of 28 companies found that every client improved their average ranking position, yet clicks declined for 8 out of 11 .

Anyway. two questions for anyone who's already on it: 1. if you run agentic pipelines on the API, what's the worst migration pain you've hit? 2. anyone sizing task budgets in production yet? how are you picking the number? full writeup here if you want the details: https://buildthisnow.com/blog/mo...

We tracked the top 10% of accounts by engagement. Their most-used feature was the Workflow Engine. Not because they requested it. Because it saved them time.

... thought we knew We assumed enterprise customers wanted the same things as our small business users, just more of it. More security. More control. More features. We never talked to them. We read blog posts. We looked at competitor pricing pages. We guessed. Here's what we missed: Procurement cycles. Enterprise deals take 6-12 months. We had 30-day sales cycles. We weren't built for that. Security reviews. We needed SOC2. We didn't have it. Customers asked ... ... that in practitioner markets, the enterprise buyers almost never exist. The people who actually know your tool's value are individuals making a judgment call, not committees running an RFP. Building toward a buyer type you haven't found yet

... Last month, I did something that felt slightly insane. I took our product description, fed it into ChatGPT, and asked it to build a competitor. Not a parody. A real competitor

... products are AI agents actually choosing today? A few things we re starting to see: 1. Agents don t pick what devs say they like They pick what they can actually execute. For example: Resend often gets picked over alternatives for transactional email not because of branding but because it s easier to use, faster to integrate, fewer blockers This feels like a different layer of competition: execution > preference 2. We started running task-based comparisons We define tasks ... ... actually do best) Open question Feels like we re moving from: products built for humans to products that need to be usable by agents Curious how others are thinking about this: Are you designing your product for agents yet

... they have an optimized website, and if they are showing up in AI search results like ChatGPT, Google AI Overview, and Perplexity. Each business gets a Need Score (0-100) so you instantly see who's desperate for help vs. who's already handled. No more guessing. But I didn't want a data tool; I wanted a closing tool. So I built four workflows directly into the platform: 1. Decision-Maker Contact Reveal: This was the feature I wish ... ... Call Booked Closed. No switching to HubSpot or a spreadsheet; your entire pipeline lives where your leads live. 4. Market Intelligence Charts: Each scan gives you a full analytics dashboard rather than just a list.

... great principles, that since leveraging AI, have made the user experience even more delightful. We hope to be a part of the latter. It's first worth mentioning that BuiltDiffernt stands alone as a standard cold email scheduling tool. Yet what many standard cold email tools (think Apollo, Instantly, etc) lack (in my opinion) is the ability to see what's going on behind the "black box" once your emails go out. Not to mention that many small business owners ...

... that I can help as many people as possible stop being controlled by caffeine, and let it propel them to do great things. The new version of Clarity will do just that. I won't discuss the features just yet, but there are LOADS. We also have partnerships coming with brands that know the caffeine content of their products. There are some other 'caffeine trackers' out there, they all use the same data set. Clarity is a performance app centred ...

Comment from Nika(@busmark_w_nika): @henrikpedersen  yeah, but in that case we are talking about passive vs active managin the data.

... Learning to code or learning how to use AI is important, but what matters even more is learning how to solve problems we haven t even discovered yet. Recently, I read an article featuring Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, where he said: Nothing would give me more joy than if none of our engineers were coding at all, and they were just purely solving undiscovered problems. That idea really stayed with me. In the AI era, writing code is becoming easier ...

... Despite their immense popularity in China, SuperApps (multifunctional platforms that combine services like messaging, payments, shopping, and more into a single app) have yet to gain significant traction in the United States. This discrepancy raises intriguing questions about cultural differences, technological infrastructure, and consumer behavior. One key factor is the fragmented nature of the United States' financial and tech ecosystem. Unlike China, where Alipay and WeChat Pay dominate the market due to a unified financial system and government support ... ... country s strict data privacy laws and financial regulations make it difficult for foreign companies to operate seamlessly across state lines. This contrasts sharply with china s more lenient regulatory environment, which has helped SuperApps thrive. SuperApps have yet

... when it comes to actually applying, filling forms, reviewing details, completing steps, behavior still clusters around a desktop, work-context flow. We re not concluding don t build mobile. We re questioning when deep mobile investment actually moves activation, versus when a focused, low-friction desktop experience matters more. What signal convinced you that mobile was worth building deeply, not just sticking with web? Comment from Viktor Shumylo(@vik_sh): @build_with_aj  You re right, filling out forms ... ... actually applying, people still seem to switch to desktop.

... often think about The Horse Whisperer . Not the scenes of riding or drama, but the quiet moments a human standing beside a horse, saying nothing, and yet being completely understood. That kind of understanding does not come from words. It comes from breath, from pauses, from the space between two beings. It is a kind of intimacy our modern world has almost forgotten. Every pet owner carries the same quiet wish. Not that a cat should say hello ... ... understand as dialogue. The dog remains a dog. Only now, we can finally hear it. This reminds me of Marguerite Duras and the way she wrote about loneliness how people live beside each other, sharing the same space, yet

... traditional Q&A platforms and why the difference matters. The internet is overflowing with places to ask questions. From community forums to social platforms to AI-powered chat tools, people have more ways than ever to seek answers. Yet paradoxically, finding clear, reliable, and fast answers has become harder not easier. Most Q&A platforms were not designed with long-term knowledge preservation in mind. They are optimized for engagement, discussion, or real-time interaction, not clarity ... ... Performance can degrade as pages grow larger and more complex. And critically, the usefulness of a page often depends on the behavior of a community rather than on intentional editorial structure. Qeeebo takes a different path. A Static, Structured Alternative

I m finalizing the last few lines of code ...

... felt perfectly appropriate and more accessible? Why did they mint a token, when the tokens wouldn t be necessary for customers to use the platform? Their desire to integrate blockchain into the product felt disingenuous, unnecessary, and clunky. And yet- they raised tens of millions of dollars with their ICO.  I eventually left the blockchain space. Sold my crypto in 2020 and have had no regrets since.  There was no shortage of founders with admirable pursuits, but they ... ... needed the support of the speculators in order to build enough momentum. And the speculators needed these founders to legitimize their clear cash grab. And yet
