@mtomo2get After she was gone a lot of ppl went to Kyndred AI, seemed crazy how many people came here

[Alex Băraru @BararuAlex]

@eduardadotai I see. wishing you the best and good luck!

[Alex Băraru @BararuAlex]

@AI_Illust_000 That’s why we created @GetKyndred . People need a character to talk to, play games or sit by your side when you code or do excels.

[Alex Băraru @BararuAlex]

@bradcarryvc yea, and should definetly cast this from a pod. maybe call it castpod or something

@davidgan1818 investing is gambling for CFOs

@FrancisPSantora I saw this post earlier today that founders shouldn’t have hobbies and now this pops up so… which is which?

[Alex Băraru @BararuAlex]

@ekuyda the hobby is usually where the idea comes from. obsession just keeps it alive. I had the same reaction as you did @ekuyda

@omooretweets next milestone: the agent starts leaving you reviews

[Justine Moore @venturetwins]

It’s remarkable to me that folks still put “Forbes 30 Under 30” in their LinkedIn headline

@egorka @gao_zibo “nobody” does not equal to low adoption

[Alex Băraru @BararuAlex]

@gaby_goldberg lots of founders (or people in this field) are still falling for vanity metrics

[Alex Băraru @BararuAlex]

@TurnerNovak let's not forget that one email from Obama

[Alex Băraru @BararuAlex]

@egorka @gao_zibo people do use imessage outside the US.

[Alex Băraru @BararuAlex]

@gao_zibo the app has to earn the open every day. imessage skips that decision. curious if the gap holds past the first month or it's mostly novelty.

[Alex Băraru @BararuAlex]

@abdul_shajeed_ exactly and that’s the part that surprised us. one specific thing remembered beats ten generic things. the hard bit is picking which one to bring up first without it feeling like a CRM

[Alex Băraru @BararuAlex]

hot take: "onboarding" has become a synonym for "tutorial" and that's killing retention.

the tutorial gets people through day 1. nothing gets them back on day 2.

we obsess over the first 5 minutes and leave the first 48 hours empty.

@justiinqin Hi Justin! Looking forward to grabbing a coffee in SF. Coming up soon. Interested in robotics. We could talk about using Kyndred in robotics. Let’s connect!
