At what point do we admit that all AI agent products are kinda similar: connect your email, calendar, docs, Slack, cloud, whatever. The agent will then extracts a ton of context about how you work, who you work with, how you communicate, what you care about to turn that into markdown memory files & then an orchestrator on top that learns your patterns and tries to reproduce them.
The frontier isn’t really “chat” anymore. It’s proactive background agents. Users don’t prompt the AI. Agent notices something needs to happen and does the work on the behalf of the user.
And underneath, a lot of it is surprisingly simple conceptually: give the model more context, give it tools, memory, and some cron jobs / triggers / routines.
So the actual game is becoming: who can build the best memory, take the most useful actions, and do it while burning the fewest tokens. Because it’s actually pretty easy to build an amazing personal memory system if you’re willing to spend $100+ per user. The hard part is getting 95% of that quality for $5. The goal is the highest quality context and actions, lowest inference cost to get the highest gross margin.
I’ve talked to many business owners and startup founders over the past few months who are trying to adopt AI, especially for knowledge work.
Many are getting too excited, flinging agents, skills, workflows, and tools at everything. Some are going literally crazy doing this.
The ones doing it well are moving slowly. These people often high enough in openness to try the latest tools + models but they don’t get attached and look to “use AI agents” for everything.
The focus should be on solving problems, not the tools.
The most valuable skill sets on the planet right now:
1. people who can set up agents properly, manage them, and run local AI models
2. marketers who know how to build distribution
3. robotics engineers who can do all three: build the hardware, wire in the AI, and source manufacturing etc
4. curators who are good at yapping and can do short form video in their sleep
5. the builder-distributor. The one person who can both ship the product AND get it in front of people
6. IRL community builders
@buildinpublic I was a few more turns from curing cancer, bringing world peace, solving world hunger, and building a really cool todo app. I guess the world will never know.

Most business owners don’t want to “work on their website”… yet it turns into a part-time job.
Biggest issues I see:
• SEO ignored = invisible site
• Launch ≠ done (maintenance matters)
• “Custom” should fit your business, not fight it.
It’s time to rethink your website.
Choosing a business name is one of the first decisions every entrepreneur has to make.
