Is it just me or is there a whitespace when it comes to verticalised AI tools for product managers? I find myself using a combination of GPT, v0.dev , cursor to get a lot of my job done. But the UX sucks & horizontal tools are hard to use for the last 20 %.

Idk why but rebranding warpcast -> farcaster feels like a personal win. Excited for Friday! Is this the effect of believing in a cult? 😆

Learnings from working with creators - X great for brand awareness, TG much better for conversions - Airdrop points for micro creators, $ for large ones is the most optimal budget strategy - Yaps on X only weakly correlated to on chain metrics & actual product usage. What is the major goal for you when working with creators? Brand awareness or actual product clicks?

Stumbled across a new concept "The Kill List" or the " What are we NOT doing List" : list of ideas / experiments you are planning to scrap from your company roadmap. Sharing it with the team / community can instantly give them confidence wrt the vision & focus of the company.

Navigating b/w being completely honest with your team vs. pretending stuff is fine when it's actually on fire ( fake it till you make it) , is one of the most interesting things I have had to learn. You got to reassure people while not misleading them lol

Mock war drills in India today after 1971 😶‍🌫️ (it eventually resulted in a war b/w the neighbouring states). On the edge honestly..

Identifying your core motivation towards building a company can help yield clarity. I know there could be many but there's this one thing that drives you more than others. For e.g.: -Solving a hard problem (i identified this as my core drive) - Impact that you care about - Financial upside What's yours?

guess we took the right bet by onboarding @rajul into our ecosystem - our video production capabilities have gotten 10x since then. This is a concept video of a product being built with our network - a truly personal AI assistant. cliched idea but with many unique insights about the market & clever engineering hacks

As founders do you try to actively seek mentors & engage w them regularly? Not talking about being plugged into relevant startup literature (YC, All In Podcast etc.) I realised it's something I don't do so much but might have great value long term - network + avoid making mistakes actually

Funny how reading about AI "sleep time compute" has been one of the largest drivers for me to focus on my own sleep habits 😆 i guess i am truly becoming AI native tldr - AI systems that do memory processing ( on past user chats) when idle (not chatting w users) can perform better in real world tasks Original link: https://www.letta.com/blog/sleep-time-compute

this is so on point. another example of how AI agents are just extension of humans - training implicitly on ways to please us rather than actually be useful at times. And that here also potentially different type of agents (humans) would exist. Would need so many different type of evals for this to actually play out..

I know I am purple app pilled when I am experiencing FOMO for FarCon NYC and not Token 2049 Dubai. Is this a cult? Or just reality? 🫡

Having a supportive partner is one of the biggest advantage a founder can have. Felt it so much over the weekend touching grass together 💙

80% of our recent growth summarised in one line: Users posting on brand user generated content & referring their friends. Works better than just direct referral links when looking at long term retention.

So damn true! I still remember one of my first memories here - Dan just doing an AMA with the community & then later on asking randomly for feedback on new launches.. This core builder energy got me hooked
