The last month of 2025 is here. How are you planning to use it?

Some of you set resolutions for this year, and soon you ll be looking back to see how well you did.

Before that moment comes, what do you want to finish or achieve in this final month?

What was your 1st product?

Sometimes I have a problem to have a look at my past milestones or things I have achieved so far.
When I think about it, even creating my first product was a success for me. I ve always been a bit shy and afraid to show what I was working on, or I just didn t know how to present it properly, so it took me a really long time.

My first product was an online workout program with a payment gateway, and the monthly price was ridiculously low. But I managed to monetise it and had my first customers. I was probably around 20 at the time.

  • What was your first product?

  • What would you do differently to maintain it and make it successful?

  • What lesson did you learn from it?

How are you handling LLM API costs in production? Billing alerts? Hard limits? Nothing?

Running agents in production is getting expensive fast especially when something loops, retries, or a user abuses the system. Curious what others are actually doing:

  • Relying on provider-side billing alerts?

  • Hard limits set on the OpenAI/Anthropic dashboard?

  • Custom solution you built yourself?

  • Nothing yet and just hoping for the best?

 

 I've been deep in this problem lately actually built something around it (launching tomorrow on PH). Would love to hear real approaches first though, especially from anyone running multi-tenant SaaS where you need per-user cost control.

Should you always offer a monthly plan… or can you go straight to annual?

Hey PH! I'm a bit obsessed with Pricing, and just started testing a new experiment for my startup, @Pretty Prompt:

Remove the monthly tier; offer only Free or Yearly (basically no monthly plan available).

How do you use ChatGPT to boost your daily efficiency?

For me it works best in information retrieval and idea generation. What's in there for you?

If you could solve one global problem tomorrow what would you solve?

The world has a few different crises going on at the same time, if you could pick one to end tomorrow what would you choose?

What “AI mode” are you in when you build?

Hey everyone

I ve been continuing to explore the question:

How do we use AI without outsourcing our thinking?

Agents Need Names

TL;DR: .agent is the most strategically important TLD still without an owner. ICANN's application window opens in weeks. A company is going to bid for it - unless a community claims it first. Here's the story, and two questions I'd actually like pushback on.
---
Agents already need real addresses. I've been working on this for over a year, and the pitch just keeps getting simpler. Right now agents mostly live at a subdomain of whoever built the framework platform.com/yourname-7. Borrowed identity, borrowed trust.
If you want the concrete version, look at OpenClaw. An autonomous agent running on your machine with its own email (real OTP codes, real password resets), OAuth credentials across hundreds of thousands of SaaS apps, sub-agents spawning and talking to each other, webhooks, the whole thing. A worker, not a demo.
And in its first three days live, OpenClaw had to rename itself twice. The name it launched under - gone. That's the whole argument in one news cycle: agents running real lives from borrowed names are one legal letter away from disappearing.
.agent is the most strategically important TLD still without an owner. ICANN's next gTLD round opens in weeks. And once .agent is claimed, it's claimed - the internet's naming system doesn't hand these out twice.
If one company wins it, .agent becomes their product. They'd set pricing. They'd set policies. They'd decide who gets yourname.agent and who gets blocked. One company choosing shareholder interests over an open internet - because that's literally what it would be.
The community bid is a formal ICANN community application its own specific path with its own process. The goal, if approved: keep .agent open infrastructure. Open standards for agent discovery. No gatekeeper. Governance by the people actually building agents, within ICANN's rules.
23,000+ members have joined. Esther Dyson, who used to chair ICANN, and Illia Polosukhin, who co-wrote "Attention Is All You Need," are advising. 
It's not done. ICANN scores community applications on size, governance, nexus, and endorsement depth. You need 12/16 points to beat the corporate applicants who are absolutely going to file. Every signal matters.
Two questions I'd genuinely like pushback on:
1. Is the naming layer for AI agents something the community should own, or is it fine if it goes corporate? I have a strong view, but makers building agents every day see things I don't.
2. If you think it should stay open - what governance rules would you want locked in from day one? What would make you still trust the TLD in 5 years?
If this resonates, the non-binding endorsement is here (30 seconds). The one-pager has the deeper version.
Either way, would love to hear what you think. Especially the pushback.

✅ POLL: Do you buy the domain first or build the product first?

Let s settle this once and for all.

Do you spend 3 hours trying to find a clever .com before writing a single line of code? Or do you ship the MVP and slap on whatever domain wasn t taken at the time?

Cast your vote and tell us why.
