I tracked every hour of my growth week. Then I built dolv to fix what I found.
Hey everyone 👋
I'm Nolan, one of the makers behind dolv.
A year ago I kept a time log for two weeks. Not to be productive about it, just genuinely curious where the time was going. The strategy work felt fine. Everything around it felt off.
Here's what I found:
Monday mornings I'd spend close to three hours pulling numbers out of the CRM, reformatting them into a Sheet, and writing a report that someone could actually read. Not analysis. Just moving data from one place to another.
Tuesday I'd take whatever ChatGPT drafted, paste it into the scheduler, post it manually, go back to check if it actually posted, then screenshot it for the record. The AI saved me maybe 20 minutes. The coordination around it cost me 45.
By Friday I'd feel like I'd been busy all week and couldn't point to much that required me specifically.
The real problem wasn't the writing. It wasn't even the tools. It was that each tool held one piece of the picture and I was the person connecting all of them, every single week, manually.
We spent the last year building dolv to close that loop. It's an AI operator that connects to the GTM stack you already have, does the execution work across it, and pauses before anything reaches a customer. You approve what goes out. Everything else runs.
We're launching early next week. 🚀
Happy to answer questions about how it works, what we got wrong in early builds, or what the approval layer actually looks like in practice. Ask anything.

This resonates hard - the "I was busy all week but can't point to what required me specifically" line is brutal and true. Curious how dolv decides what needs approval vs. what runs autonomously - is that threshold something you set once, or does it learn per workflow over time? Congrats on the launch, following closely.
