@lukebrichey @scottsteineman @michaelcutajar You're thinking of bench which was acquired out of bankruptcy by employer .com

@zachtratar Is there any hope of getting this for MS Teams?

[Zander @dzander]

Filters within rollups would be absurdly helpful. Would love to be able to pull in properties and do operations on them if they meet criteria. Current version requires adding formula properties to the target database which adds a bunch of bloat and also comes with limitations when the operation needs a given type (number, date, etc.) that can’t be accomplished with a formula field output

@pitdesi @JayantPanwar17 Problem is these are covered services under their payer contracts, so the rates and copays can’t be waived for lower cash prices whenever they see a member of an insurance they’re contracted. Function is entirely out of network so free to set their rates at whatever they want.

@KrissBergTweets I have some sympathy for the practices. No excuse for bad service but it gets harder every year for many to make ends meet + complexity keeps increasing, and those admin teams make less and less.

@justwatt Add the 🚨 emoji. They can’t resist it for some reason and I’m grateful.

AI Studio seems like the answer in itself. I got dramatically different outcomes in AIS on high vs. running in the Gemini app.

[Zander @dzander]

Not exactly a spicy take, but I think the SaaS doomsdayers are directionally correct. My bet is that demand is about to shift from per-seat SaaS applications and systems of record to infrastructure.

Based on my own experience, I'm guessing that people/orgs are going to want to take ownership of their own data and build their own workflows/UIs, meaning they'll switch from paying for tools like Asana to paying for the tools that power key functionality under the hood (security, auth) and things that make cross-tenant multiplayer possible (exchanges, payments).

Going to rethink my own portfolio and try to buy more of companies in highly regulated, mission-critical spaces that are constantly evolving and less of stuff that is based on seat-count and workflow/productivity. Bonus points if network effects make it harder to commoditize.

@brian_lovin That's what the AI's for

Something that's crazy to me is that I'm starting to send interactive HTML files to teammates when I need to help visualize something instead of charts/powerpoints/excel files.

This is 101-level to so many people but it's still wild to me.

[Zander @dzander]

My new toxic personality trait is turning every basic task into an AI orchestration problem.

[Zander @dzander]

@brian_lovin This is oddly beautiful

[Zander @dzander]

I’ve been a big Notion stan (we spend $3-4k on them every month) but finding that the MCP absolutely destroys context windows + I’m feeling pretty burned over waiting for them to release AI agents for the past 4 months.

Obsidian is starting to look pretty good…

Didn’t have trying to create a lobster-inspired agent on my 2026 bingo card but here we go @openclaw

@farrowhardy1 @Will_Schryver Would be interesting to see how they structured the rollup. If they formed with no institutional capital then it’s possible they went after scale through 100% rollover type deals or managed services agreements and little/no debt

[Zander @dzander]

@CBarrett_CPA I’d drop healthcare clinics lower imo. Insurance payers are a pretty nightmare dynamic as a whole for cash flow
