But no one uses Google like this. Seems like the most unrealistic thing entered into a Google search bar that I've ever seen

SEO News: Google says it’s ushering in a “new era of AI Search.”

Google is launching a new Intelligent Search Box and merging AI Overviews with AI Mode.

Somewhere right now, a grown man is spending hundreds of dollars to outsmart a fish.

I know this is cliche right now, but AI. Even more than Google and YouTube … AI has taken us to a place where “I don’t know” is a meaningless sentence. More accurate to say I don’t want to know. Because if you want to know something, humanly speaking, you can find it with very little effort.

(Don’t philosophize or Jesus juke me. By knowledge I mean practical everyday things, even knowledge and skills that can change your life and career.)

@Brad_Cone @lukeholmes Oh that would be a fun project

91-year-old retired electrical engineer builds a full-scale app for his church using @claudeai + @Replit @amasad

No coding background.
Less than $350 spent.

Proof it’s never too late to build something incredible.

Hunting guides and fishing charters depend on strong relationships with customers and word-of-mouth referrals. One of our primary goals at Acre is to enhance those interactions, not disrupt them.

> Mobile first
> Painless invoicing
> Flexible payments
> Seamless calendar sync

X No brand intrusion
X No complex CRM
X No logins for customers
X No penalties for off-platform bookings

@jeff_weinstein @stripe Will mpp be available for Stripe Connect accounts?

[Seth Brown @dsethbrown]

Summer 2025: overbuilt, overthought, nothing shipped.

Jan 2026: smaller idea + Opus 4.6 in Cursor. Production-grade invoicing and payments for an industry that still uses paper. Two variables changed everything.

[Seth Brown @dsethbrown]

Outfitters shouldn’t need an IS degree in order to graduate from Venmo. Acre fixes that.

[Seth Brown @dsethbrown]

One of the reasons it’s been satisfying to build Acre for outfitters is the slow-paced, high-trust culture in the hunting community.

[Seth Brown @dsethbrown]

So we created something that removes the pain of booking and payments without making them give up the best parts of their business. Custom invoicing in 60 seconds. Zero log-ins for hunters. Modern pay options. One tap add to their calendar, no migration to ours.

“Book a hunt now”

> Ads everywhere
> Useless features galore
> Log in to see more details
> Subscribe to get a reservation
> Book off platform and the guide gets penalized $5,000

yeahhhhh no … we’re betting against that

[Seth Brown @dsethbrown]

Coachmen said cars were dangerous, unreliable, and no substitute for a real horse.

They were right about all of it. Didn’t matter.

Devs saying vibe coding produces buggy, unreviewed, messy code are also right.

Also won’t matter.

[Seth Brown @dsethbrown]

Acre’s clients want to know if the app works “out in the field.”

Literally. No WiFi. One bar of LTE. His desk is a side-by-side 2 miles deep in brush country.

This is who we’re building for. Not the C-Suite who obsesses over UI. The hunting guide who just needs the invoice sent with zero hassle.

[Seth Brown @dsethbrown]

@toddsaunders For sure. From "is this possible" to "how much usage will this eat"

[Seth Brown @dsethbrown]

I started coding in December (after killing a complex product for a simpler MVP)

Since then I've built production booking software for an industry that still runs on handshakes and paper invoices.

That's not a "learn to code" story. That's what happens when frontier AI models improve faster than most people realize.

The gap between what was possible then and what's possible today is insane. And it's not slowing down.

Launching Acre soon. Built something that would've been impossible for me 6 months ago.

[Seth Brown @dsethbrown]

Y'all keep posting these. They're great checklists to give to Cursor 😎

[Aryan @aryanlabde]

Vibe coding a product is so easy.

Until you’re hit with:

- auth
- security
- workflow logic
- context windows
- confirmation emails
- payment integration

That’s where you wish you knew how to code.

[Seth Brown @dsethbrown]

Lots of factors here that have nothing to do with AI capabilities:

- Company data and SOPs are more siloed and disorganized than many will admit. Ingestion is the real hurdle.
- Change management is a huge factor. Too much too fast and you have massive trust issues with personnel, even good ones.
- The insane rate of AI progress is exciting to many, but makes leaders want to watch-and-wait until they have solid ground

Brass tacks: AI capabilities are there. Enterprise adoption just hasn't caught up, but it will.

[Seth Brown @dsethbrown]

The hunting and fishing guide industry is highly relational, built on trust. The question that drives everything at Acre:

How do we build a simple booking tool that 10x business without disrupting workflow?

The core of it lives here. Invoice in 60 seconds. Send by text or email. Take deposits. Manage add-ons. Add to calendar. All from a phone.
