If you're building in AI, here is how we did it 👇🧵

3️⃣ Unit economics exist for a reason
For AI, the go-to formula is strictly: CAC+GEN<LTV. Keep your acquisition plus generation costs lower than the lifetime value, and you win. 📈

2️⃣ Rethink monetization
If you sell an AI service, you CAN'T rely just on subscriptions. Offering different ways to pay (like one-off packages or credits) is crucial when compute costs are involved. 💳

@Google just made a quiet but massive change.

They removed the num=100 param: you can no longer view 100 results at once, the max is now 10.

Why does it matter?
🔴 LLMs (OpenAI, Perplexity, etc.) rely on Google’s indexed results. Overnight, their access to the “long tail” dropped by 90%.
🔴 88% of sites saw fewer impressions (Search Engine Land).
🔴 Reddit, which ranks mostly between #11–100, lost citations and $5B in market cap.

For startups, this is brutal. Visibility just got harder. It’s not enough to build a great product, you need distribution first.

In today’s AI era: Distribution > Product.
