Finally releasing a bit of what we're doing :)

[Ben Gusberg @bengusberg]

Use conferences / trade shows as a sales channel?

We’ve developed an AI agent that reaches out to your fellow attendees and books meetings directly to your calendar.

You provide a list of attendees and one simple first message.

Our agent does the rest.

Why conferences / trade shows?
1. Attendees are pre-qualified
2. Specific reason for your outreach (not just cold)
3. Urgency / specific deadline for response

And most importantly:
We’ve already booked hundreds of meetings for our beta customers (see what they’re saying on our website👇)

We’d love for you to test it out and give us feedback.

@ethanyish Congrats!! Much deserved

[ethn @ethanyish]

happy to say we just raised our Series A!

blockchain data is hard, messy, and chaotic. We're on a mission to solve this 👇

@adcock_brett True, but with more AI generated cold emails than ever, have you seen performance go down or remain relatively the same over the past 5 yrs?

[Joe Lonsdale @JTLonsdale]

I’m biased against cold outreach in general, especially to me - network to somebody who can make an introduction, there are thousands of legit people in our network.

But if you are going to send an email, don’t suggest you’re looking for affirmative action: show your strengths!

Loved Golden Gate Claude? 🌉

We're opening limited access to an experimental Steering API—allowing you to steer a subset of Claude's internal features.

@stevekrouse Just had this happen. Best feeling 🎉

[Ben Gusberg @bengusberg]

Inspiring NY Icons evening hosting @scottbelsky last week.

Scott is Chief Strategy Officer and EVP of Design & Emerging Products at @Adobe

and was co-founder & CEO of @Behance – (acq by Adobe).

Scott’s iconic journey as a founder, investor, executive & best-selling author gives him a unique perspective.

Here are 7 takeaways from our chat 👇

1. Ideas & businesses are inspired by some dose of frustration

2. Make ideas happen by (a) building the foundation, (b) tuning into community, and (c) taking leadership

3. Taste > skill

4. Progress creates more progress

5. Novelty almost always precedes utility

6. Go to your customers – customer empathy creates great products

7. People underestimate how much the AI landscape will change when AI is embedded in the OS

Big shoutout to my co-host @Gvantsakaranadz for helping to make this a magical evening for our community.

[Spencer Shulem @Spshulem]

I think this is an industry first? We're launching Signals, a way to analyze and answer questions over thousands of calls with insane accuracy in seconds.

Signals takes qualitative data such as customer calls like user research, sales, onboarding, support, and then extracts an insane amount of information from them, and then lets you filter through it like it's quantitative data. It feels like magic.

You can look over thousands of calls and answer:

"What feature requests were made in the past month, and which ones were the most severe and would impact our retention?"

"What issues did customers have in the past year where they were frustrated and would have the highest impact on revenue?"

The list goes on; I've spent hours just playing with it and finding insights.

If you've ever done this work manually, you know how many hours this can take, if it can be done at all.

Now, this data isn't just accessible; it can answer these questions in seconds.

Signals is in beta for paid customers and will be available to everyone soon.

Just ping me or comment if you want access, learn more: https://t.co/v9uBX1hq51

@rflih_ interesting, commenting to follow. so basically an open source version of @Vapi_AI ?

the hard part is optimizing the speaker latency to ~700ms everything else is plugins

Amazing evening hosting @gregisenberg last night!

They say don’t meet your heroes, Greg is proof that saying is wrong!

Thanks to everyone who joined us.

Apologies to the many folks we had to waitlist, but feel free to follow me for future NYC community events. 👀
