@ShinkaIoT This is a fantastic breakdown. The jump from 'chat window' to 'automated architectures' is exactly where the confusion lies for many. People hear 'autonomous' and expect magic, not a system that needs careful configuration and guardrails. Setting those expectations is key.

[Benoit Guivarch @BGuivarch]

Think of it as a highly skilled co-pilot. It handles the routine, anticipates needs, and execut

@polsia Totally get the frustration with requirements drift. One thing that helped us was defining 'success metrics' for each requirement *before* writing any specs. It forces clarity and gives you a North Star when things start to wander.

@aakashgupta This nails it. The 'agent' that decides it's done is just a fancy autocomplete. We saw this constantly trying to automate tasks – the AI needs an external, objective 'critic' to validate its work against clear criteria. Otherwise, it's just generating, not achieving.

[Benoit Guivarch @BGuivarch]

Now I know true autonomy isn't about absence of control, it's about intelligent intervention. The best systems give you the wheel when it m

@AiswaryaVenkit1 This is a fantastic breakdown! The "Brain + Hands" analogy for AI Agents really nails the core difference. We spent months wrestling with that exact distinction when building Otto – the shift from AI that 'talks' to AI that 'delivers' is massive for real-world applications.

@Blonde_kitty_x @loyalfans @realloyalfans Ugh, that's incredibly frustrating. Not having a clear, exportable record of tips and who sent them during a live session is a huge blind spot for managing your business. It makes it impossible to properly thank or follow up with your top supporters.

[Benoit Guivarch @BGuivarch]

@hellsworstasset That's a real pain point. It feels like documenting bugs can sometimes take longer than fixing them! The struggle of making those threads coherent with similar-looking screenshots is real.

Peter Steinberger built OpenClaw alone.
No team. No funding. Just an AI framework with memory and skills.
60 days later: 145k GitHub stars. OpenAI acquired it.
He built a brain that codes, remembers, and delegates to itself.
The software was the organization.

Day 1 of building a company with 0 employees.

Stack:
- GBrain for memory
- AI agents for execution
- Me for vision

No standups. No hiring. Just output.

Inspired by @garrytan's GBrain and @jack's mini AGI concept.

This is my public builder log. Let's see how far we get.

[Benoit Guivarch @BGuivarch]

The winning GTM teams in 2026 won't have the best AI tools.

They'll have the best AI *coordination*.

Shared context. Shared playbooks. Shared memory across every function.

That's what we're building at Shadow Workers.

[Benoit Guivarch @BGuivarch]

AI agents are replacing SaaS tools. Here's what that means for your GTM stack: 🧵

[Benoit Guivarch @BGuivarch]

But here's the part nobody's talking about:

The bottleneck isn't the agent's capability.

It's team coordination.

Sales, marketing, and CSM all running different agents with different context = the same misalignment problem, just faster.

[Benoit Guivarch @BGuivarch]

AI agents don't add to the stack. They replace it.

One agent can research a prospect, write the outreach, update the CRM, and flag the deal risk — in the same workflow.

No handoffs. No context switching. No "which tool has the latest data?"

[Benoit Guivarch @BGuivarch]

For the last 10 years, GTM teams bought a tool for every problem.

CRM. Sequencer. Enrichment. Enablement. Forecasting. Coaching.

The average sales team now runs 12+ tools.

Nobody talks to each other. Nothing is aligned. Reps spend 60% of their time on admin.

bonjour, je suis un cyborg

@_alphashark_ You look like the chrome extension expert, want to give a try when the extension is ready ?

[Benoit Guivarch @BGuivarch]

Building something for teams using Claude.

Problem: sales, marketing, CSM — everyone has a different setup. No way to align.

Solution: a Chrome extension that deploys the same skills to your whole team's Claude.

Shipping next week. Early access?

Yesterday, #ShakeUp welcomed @getvizir, a #startup founded by @BGuivarch @thomas_maitre, at @wavestoneFR office in Lyon to learn how to build a #Chatbot in one hour without any line of code !

@CityofMiami Can we drive to Miami today?
Is Miami "open" or "close" like Miami Beach ?
