One possible digital future is visualized elegantly in this quick video by @keiichiban. It's a 360 degree video (use the circle in upper left to navigate). I like the imagined interface. https://t.co/pOVoKKkpZN

the new startup playbook looks NOTHING like the old one:

– most of your team will be part-time contractors, creators, and ai agents
– your first $1m will come from niching down. your next $10m will come from tastefully scaling out
– one agent spins out 50 longtail SEO pages from transcripts, support tickets, or user reviews

– startups are turning into QVC. except this time, you own the channel and the product

– onboarding will feel like texting a friend. static forms are dead

– every landing page rewrites itself based on who's viewing it (claude or chatgpt-4o + session data)

– every successful company will feel like a subculture. the product is just a portal in

– outbound are agents scraping, qualifying, and writing personalized intros 24/7

– customer support = 1 human backed by 5 lindy agents trained on every support ticket ever written

– micro-apps will outperform mega-tools. specific > general

– growth isn’t an afterthought. it’s built into the product (agent-invite loops, ai-powered referrals)

– if your product doesn't spark curiosity in 2 seconds, it’s invisible

– the best products of the next decade will be memes first, software second

– “launch” is outdated. leak it instead

– the new pricing model: $0 to play, $x to unlock identity

– you won’t sell software. you’ll sell outcomes, transformations, identity upgrades

– more people will leave big tech to build solo. not out of rebellion, but because their side hustles are more interesting

– the best homepages become a scene. your standard shadcn websites won’t hit the same

– default alive is low burn, small team, owned audience, high-leverage systems

– competitor research happens automatically. agents scrape, cluster, and surface positioning gaps

– your CRM isn’t stale. agents log calls, summarize deals, and write follow-ups before you hang up

– venture capital is optional

– customer success isn’t reactive. agents predict churn based on tone in support chats and usage

– we’ll see more “tiny empires”: one founder, one audience, and a constellation of tools they own

– bug reports are summarized, tagged, prioritized, and triaged by an agent before eng ever sees them

– IRL matters. founders become event planners

– most SaaS is overbuilt. the next wave wins by subtracting

– if your product can't be explained in a screenshot, it won't spread

– the creative director is the new power hire. taste is now a growth lever

– churned users get a custom winback campaign built by an agent based on why they left

– knowledge base builds itself from slack threads, loom links, and discord q&a (agents + gpt vision)

– product feedback loops are instant. users speak → agents summarize, prioritize, and mock ui changes

– most startups will die trying to be “all-in-one.” the winners do one weird thing stupidly well

– startup advice used to be: find a technical cofounder. now it’s: find a distribution edge

– your product isn’t finished when it works. it’s finished when people want to wear the hoodie

– the people who win distribution will own demand. the rest will rent it

if this felt like a glimpse into the future, it's because it is.

instead of bookmarking this, share it with a friend, and start building.

you don’t need permission to build like this.

you just need to start.

most people will ignore this.

but this is the new reality...

small teams, infinite leverage.

Happy building.

I'm rooting for you.

Anyone else struggling to enter into @farcaster_xyz ? I was active and doing so well on the rewards board too and I have been locked out of my account. Waiting for recovery path now but missing all of you and amworried sth happened to my uid.

[Gaia @dadabit]

@_Daniel_Ospina I ask it to give me the delta it wants to change rather than changing it. Also prompt to aim minimal, and that it should not change my tone of voice.

another thing you can ask to change only for sth.

@michaelmiraflor @Emily_Sundberg @cigarettetax I think subcultures exist and can be born, they’re just not necessarily powerful, meaningful, long-lasting or coherent the way they used to be
