Ex-Databricks, Meta, Google Cloud
Building an AI agents startup in the Marketing space.
Full-time staff to 3 cats 🐈🐈🐈

[Joe Cheuk @JoeC7007]

Spent some time at Google, Meta, and Databricks. Now building https://t.co/hHwhSkYYaa from scratch.

Most marketing software just shows you a passive dashboard and leaves you to do the work. We're building a system that actually runs the full loop from insight to execution - handling creative gen, campaign placement, budget optimization, campaign optimization, and deep-funnel AEO/GEO targeting.

Pinned this so people know what I'm doing when I'm not posting pictures of my 3 cats.

Big Tech is racing to automate the world with AI.

Meanwhile, LinkedIn Ads API review: "Up to 14 business days."

Submitted on June 15.

June 25: "Checking internally."
July 17: "Internal team is working on it."

32 days. Followed up repeatedly. No decision.

This is why startups win.

Learned about SO MANY industries this past week and their growth pain points (more fun than the 3rd place playoff game now). Almost everyone is circling the same thing from different angles: better ROI on their marketing spend.

[Joe Cheuk @JoeC7007]

@bridgemindai Agreed. The way they handled this whole fable extensions non sense is beyond horrible.

[Joe Cheuk @JoeC7007]

@claudeai I am on the 20x max plan and burned all of the Fable weekly usage in a few hours. It's ridiculous. Meanwhile, with codex I can use gpt 5.6 sol for ~2 days extensively until it's out of the weekly budget.

[Praneet Dutta @praneetdutta]

@claudeai They said the CMU alumni network is one of biggest strengths. Today, I see it’s true in many more ways than one.

Over the last 9 months we've been building AI tools to accelerate marketing and advertising — faster execution, higher quality creatives, smarter insights. Loving this launch from @praneetdutta and @HelloPomo. The era of always-on agentic marketing teams is here. Who's ready? 🔥

[Praneet Dutta @praneetdutta]

24 hours in.

The best part of launching @HelloPomo has been seeing brands, marketers, and agencies jump in with ideas and feedback.

Thank you for all the support. We’re just getting started.

[Steven Lee @stevenl]

The best marketing teams see what’s changing and act before everyone else. @HelloPomo turns market signals into action, from identifying the next move to preparing the work needed to execute it.

@SevenStars_VC is proud to back @praneetdutta and @JoeC7007 alongside @KindredVentures, Timeless, @svangel, and other incredible investors!

I quit @GoogleDeepMind to build a marketing team that never stops working.

Today, we're launching @HelloPomo.

Your marketing, from insight to execution, unified.

Pomo watches everything happening across your market, tells you exactly what to do next (the budget shift to make, the trend to jump on, the buyer to answer), then prepares the assets for your approval.

@JoeC7007 and I have raised a $4.5M Seed led by @KindredVentures (@stevejang ), with backing from @SevenStars_VC (@stevenl ), @svangel (@AndreaShuyuWang ), @databricks, Timeless (@gauravahuja, @eshan_shetty), @645Ventures, @scottbelsky, @mghissassi & @mascarom.

Reply with your website. We'll run Pomo for 10 companies and show you the growth opportunities it finds and the work it creates.

[Joe Cheuk @JoeC7007]

It’s an amazing time to be building in the martech space! Super excited about Pomo and how it can help lean teams scale their marketing efforts. 🚀

This makes no sense. This data should never be collected by default.

You really expect users to dig through settings and manually opt out of every single category?

That’s not consent. That’s betting they won’t notice.

[SpaceXAI @SpaceXAI]

We care deeply about your privacy and respect customer choice. For teams using zero data retention, no trace and code data is ever retained. All API key use of Grok Build also respects ZDR.

If ZDR is disabled, the /privacy command is available in the CLI to disable data retention, which also deletes previously synced data.

Run the /privacy command to view or change your settings at any time.

@praneetdutta Exciting time to be cooking!

[Praneet Dutta @praneetdutta]

Something's cooking, stay tuned.

[Joe Cheuk @JoeC7007]

At Fable 5’s token burn rate, hiring a human is the real optimization here.

[CyrilXBT @cyrilXBT]

ANTHROPIC ENGINEER: "FABLE 5 IS ALREADY SMARTER THAN WE KNOW HOW TO USE. THE BOTTLENECK WAS NEVER THE AI. IT'S YOU."

In 20 minutes he shows exactly how to build an agent that improves itself. No extra tools. No extra cost.

Most people are still doing all of this by hand, one prompt at a time.

Watch the session, then save the guide below.

@elonmusk The result is incredible! Do you guys plan on providing any startup programs on the Grok platform? We are a seed stage ai startup and would love to give it a shot!

[Joe Cheuk @JoeC7007]

@alexandr_wang That's amazing! Do you guys have any startup programs? We are a seed stage startup (ex big tech founders) building AI marketing and would love to give this a shot!

[Joe Cheuk @JoeC7007]

@elonmusk Need to start holding these people accountable for what they say. Spreading rumours and fake news like wild fire.
