this is unironically one of the main reasons we started to build gas
to be an effective advertiser you have to constantly scroll. part of the job is 24/7 synthesis of content.
aside from rotting your brain it becomes impossible to keep a pulse on multiple demographics and niches because every individual content algorithm is like an echo chamber.
the second we automated this process (our ability to synthesize massive amounts of content) we became scalable
With the takeoff of OpenClaw and MoltBook, a new agent-driven economy is taking shape.
On the @LightconePod, we took a look at the explosive growth of AI dev tools and whether the time has come for builders to make something agents want.

this infra is currently powering six figures in monthly ad spend across our own portfolio of apps + 2 clients (both VC backed consumer cos)
funding will allow us to hire a key operator so we can focus on building + selling. we've only been offering this b2b for 6 weeks and are going to start an aggressive sales motion once we have the capacity
we almost went the traditional VC route, esp after YC's latest RFS, but this token launch made way more sense for us given we're already profitable and can use it to pull product levers (more soon)
we're def building the plane while we fly it
my cofounder and i scaled software to millions at the top cos in the world.
then we did it ourselves, bootstrapped.
now we're doubling down on scaling the infrastructure that makes this possible in a world completely driven by agents.
but in practice they can't do that without the right framework and fresh inputs. guardrails + context. an understanding of human desire and the cultural landscape it operates in.
this is what we're building.
