@CoryMckane @ScottHickle Happy to chat, Scott! We tackle the 10DLC registration to help you scale. Primarily API-first, but offer a quick launch no-code app as well if you just need messages out

[Martin Lien @MartinLLien]

@thegarrettscott Such a sick idea! Tested it out now, what's the best way to send you feedback?

[Garrett Scott 🕳 @thegarrettscott]

Over the weekend I finished the to-do list that does itself.

Everytime you add a task, a GPT-4 agent is spawned to complete it. It already has the context it needs on you and your company, and has access to your apps.

It’s called the Do Anything Machine (Link in thread)

[Martin Lien @MartinLLien]

This is crazy, going to be a different world once every company has 1,000 of this!

[Mckay Wrigley @mckaywrigley]

This is just insane…

My GPT-4 coding assistant can now:
- build and design a frontend
- create a backend with working db
- correctly hook them up
- upload code to GitHub
- deploy it to Vercel

I can now build *complete* apps with nothing more than my voice.

The future is here!

Probably the best thing you'll see today.

In 2017, a group of developers hilariously competed for who could create worst volume control interface in the world.

The results 🧵

Day 1 of kickoff left the cohort feeling energized & stimulated. 🙏🏽 to @MartinLLien, Co-Founder and CEO of @text_volt for being transparent about his journey. Additionally, thank you to our partners at @OCAST and @CortadoVentures for meeting with our #g8OKCCohort1 founders 🫶🏾

[Martin Lien @MartinLLien]

@CoryMckane @samuel_spitz You know it! @samuel_spitz let me know if you want us to help you find a strategy to cut that in half

[Martin Lien @MartinLLien]

@dee_plainview @CoryMckane @ParkerRex Yes truly nothing against Twilio, they are the go-to for a reason!

But keep in mind SMS features are a margin business. Unless your use case is simple one-off’s or low volume, not everyone can afford to pay twice the per-SMS cost.

Twilio - $0.0079/SMS
Vs.
Telnyx - $0.0040/SMS

[Martin Lien @MartinLLien]

@CoryMckane @ParkerRex Happy to give some unbiased feedback!

I think for ease of implementation on a <10k SMS per month product/campaign Twilio is still unbeatable, but anything over that I’d start looking at Telnyx to get better pricing and support.

Happy to chat if you wanna dig in more!

People just don't pick up the damn phone anymore
