Creo mi primera app sin escribir una linea de código!

App de productividad por voz powered por AI

Únete a la lista de testers de mi MVP 50 plazas limitadas y Waitlist

I would rather know

what the right questions are

that getting answers to my questions

[Ramón @RamonPrietoX]

Been building a fully automated content pipeline for tiktok/instagram

the flow: send a viral screenshot → ai analyzes the format → replicates it with my ai influencer in openart → delivered straight to telegram in ~3 min

no manual editing. no agency. just openclaw + openart doing the work while i sleep

been quiet about what all this is for but it's starting to take shape 👀 more soon

[Ramón @RamonPrietoX]

This will continue to happen at an accelerated pace

We are not ready

[jack @jack]

we're making @blocks smaller today. here's my note to the company.

####

today we're making one of the hardest decisions in the history of our company: we're reducing our organization by nearly half, from over 10,000 people to just under 6,000. that means over 4,000 of you are being asked to leave or entering into consultation. i'll be straight about what's happening, why, and what it means for everyone.

first off, if you're one of the people affected, you'll receive your salary for 20 weeks + 1 week per year of tenure, equity vested through the end of may, 6 months of health care, your corporate devices, and $5,000 to put toward whatever you need to help you in this transition (if you’re outside the U.S. you’ll receive similar support but exact details are going to vary based on local requirements). i want you to know that before anything else. everyone will be notified today, whether you're being asked to leave, entering consultation, or asked to stay.

we're not making this decision because we're in trouble. our business is strong. gross profit continues to grow, we continue to serve more and more customers, and profitability is improving. but something has changed. we're already seeing that the intelligence tools we’re creating and using, paired with smaller and flatter teams, are enabling a new way of working which fundamentally changes what it means to build and run a company. and that's accelerating rapidly.

i had two options: cut gradually over months or years as this shift plays out, or be honest about where we are and act on it now. i chose the latter. repeated rounds of cuts are destructive to morale, to focus, and to the trust that customers and shareholders place in our ability to lead. i'd rather take a hard, clear action now and build from a position we believe in than manage a slow reduction of people toward the same outcome. a smaller company also gives us the space to grow our business the right way, on our own terms, instead of constantly reacting to market pressures.

a decision at this scale carries risk. but so does standing still. we've done a full review to determine the roles and people we require to reliably grow the business from here, and we've pressure-tested those decisions from multiple angles. i accept that we may have gotten some of them wrong, and we've built in flexibility to account for that, and do the right thing for our customers.

we're not going to just disappear people from slack and email and pretend they were never here. communication channels will stay open through thursday evening (pacific) so everyone can say goodbye properly, and share whatever you wish. i'll also be hosting a live video session to thank everyone at 3:35pm pacific. i know doing it this way might feel awkward. i'd rather it feel awkward and human than efficient and cold.

to those of you leaving…i’m grateful for you, and i’m sorry to put you through this. you built what this company is today. that's a fact that i'll honor forever. this decision is not a reflection of what you contributed. you will be a great contributor to any organization going forward.

to those staying…i made this decision, and i'll own it. what i'm asking of you is to build with me. we're going to build this company with intelligence at the core of everything we do. how we work, how we create, how we serve our customers. our customers will feel this shift too, and we're going to help them navigate it: towards a future where they can build their own features directly, composed of our capabilities and served through our interfaces. that's what i'm focused on now. expect a note from me tomorrow.

@madsf88 Use it

[Ramón @RamonPrietoX]

Internal mental process of an average "ai savvy" in X

I just vibe coded a to do app in next.js

Wow.... This is crazy

If everyone can do this, then saas is dead

Ok, I am a genius... I am a visionary need to tweet about this...

...oh wait everyone is tweeting about this

Is everyone a visionary now ?:/

Can't be

Apps are not dead, saas is not dead

They will evolve

The ultimate intelligence test is if you get what you want out of life

[Carl Vernon @RealCarlVernon]

If you're intelligent, it's next to impossible to be happy.

This place is designed for dumb, naive, morons.

This is basically me talking to my Openclaw and multiple sub ai agents

[Brian Roemmele @BrianRoemmele]

It is sometimes difficult to put into words what genius is.

But you do feel it when you experience it.

This is Jacob Collier as he improvises with an orchestra performing with the world's first Audience Symphony Orchestra in San Francisco, a gathering of fans from all over North America, conducted by Suzie Collier. In the middle of the show, this happened - no rehearsal, no sheet music, no prior discussion.

@elonmusk Don't fight the market

[Ramón @RamonPrietoX]

@lukatofocus We are on it 🫡

[Ramón @RamonPrietoX]

3 weeks into building my app. 2 waitlist signups. both are me.

but the product actually works and every time I use it I think "why didn't this exist before"

distribution is the real game. nobody told me that part.

[Ramón @RamonPrietoX]

Everyone keeps saying apps are dead because AI agents will do everything

but i think thats wrong. heres why:

yes, your AI agent can analyze your dating pics, suggest what to say, manage your tasks. but it cant give you a UI designed for that specific thing.

a chat is linear. some tasks need spatial interfaces, swiping, grids, drag and drop. you cant replace that with text.

the real future isnt "apps vs agents." its agent-native apps.

think of it like this:

• the agent = the brain
• the app = the body
without the app, your agent is just text in a chat window. without the agent, your app is just a dumb CRUD tool.

what actually dies: apps that are just glorified databases with a list view. if all your app does is store and display data, yeah an agent replaces that tomorrow.

what survives: apps built as specialized interfaces FOR agents. the app gives you the experience, the agent gives you the intelligence.

and heres the thing, 99% of people dont want to design their own UI. "just ask your agent to build it" is like saying "just design your own furniture." technically possible. but people want to sit down, not become a carpenter.

the world will have 3 layers:

1. personal agent (everyone gets one, its commodity)
2. agent-native apps (curated UIs for specific domains, this is where the money is)
3. generated UIs (one-off stuff for power users)
apps arent dead. dumb apps are dead. the ones that embrace agents as the engine and focus on experience? those win

@michael_kove I totally agree with you Michael. Also if the value of your app increases because of data users that can't be replaced by your agent generic and isolated vibe coded app
