*When stuff that's not in the transcript suddenly becomes findable!*

I am so proud to announce https://t.co/TyxKTXrP0m is being launched in public beta today on ProductHunt – please upvote it for me!

It's our new software that does a truly revolutionary thing: searches for moments in videos and docs and audio, like when dad and grandma were both laughing, or when that slide about EBIT appeared on a video call.

Please check it out! https://t.co/IxLf2khgOo

@DesignByMaeL Completely agree. Hope it's useful for you – it's free for 100 files

A few use cases:

"Find every wedding kiss shot from the last three years."
"Find the photo of the red car at golden hour."
"Find that screenshot of vertical tab navigation I saved in spring."
"Which interview mentioned pricing pushback?"
"Find me that French Airbnb screenshot, travel docs, foreign tax forms, expat paperwork, German rental contracts."
"I know I wrote this somewhere"
Journalists. Interview audio, source docs, photos. The kind of thing where a reporter has 40 hours of recordings from one investigation.
Researchers / academics. PDFs of papers, lecture recordings, slide decks. "Which image said the sample size was 283?"

[Felix Velarde @felixv]

For years I recorded everything, including client workshops, strategy sessions, product demos, research calls. Tons and tons of material. And then it all disappeared into folders I never opened again.

The problem was never storage, it was retrieval. Transcripts helped, but they never captured what actually mattered, like the slide on screen when someone said yes or the hesitation before an answer or the look in the room when a decision landed.

That frustration became https://t.co/TyxKTXrP0m.

It turns video, audio and document archives into something you can actually interrogate. You ask it a question and it finds the answer, with a link back to the exact moment in the source material.

It's amazing: "Find that meeting where I wore a red t-shirt." You just can't do that with Otter.

We're preparing for the Product Hunt launch in a few minutes and opening to a wider group of beta users. If you work with large media archives, research interviews, training libraries, client calls or years of internal recordings, I'd love to know what you'd ask your archive first.

Most founders get 3 or 4 big things done a year.

Structured quarterly system: 20.

Same effort. Different system. I ran agencies for 25 years before anyone told me there were formulas for this.

Average first-year growth for agencies using our framework: 164%.

Most double or triple in 18-24 months. Several got acquired at well above market rate.

Your C-players aren't bad people. They might be great somewhere else.

The day you make the call, someone will say "I don't know why you didn't do that months ago."

They always do.

Something nobody tells you about hiring until it's too late.

[Felix Velarde @felixv]

Over time this quietly degrades everything. You can't scale with a team that's slowly getting worse.

Fix it:
- Write down what "good" actually looks like for each role
- Stop interviewing on gut feel
- Build a pipeline before you're desperate

[Felix Velarde @felixv]

This is how I work with agencies now. Big goal on the horizon. Small, paced steps to get there. Five things per quarter. One per person.

Your team doesn't need to see the whole mountain. They need the next tree.

A Himalayan guide taught me more about running a business than 25 years of actually running one.

[Felix Velarde @felixv]

An hour later we stopped. He mentioned a tree full of birds further up. Then lunch at a family's home. Then a bench with the first view of Annapurna.

If he'd told me the truth at the start I'd have stayed on the bus.

[Felix Velarde @felixv]

I used to come back from conferences and blow up my own company. Called them "change grenades."

Same result every time: eye-rolling, nothing implemented, another grenade next week.

Took 25 years to learn that 5 tasks per quarter beats 50 ideas on a Monday morning.

Nucco Brain → Unit9
MomentumABM → Accenture
Verb Brands → Croud
Deeson → TPXImpact

Different agencies. Different sectors. Same framework.

I just made the Moltbook Agent video course free of charge – 14 chapters in 28 minutes, go make your own Moltbook / OpenClaw agent :)

The biggest thing stopping your agency growing is probably you.

When every decision runs through the founder, the founder's capacity becomes the ceiling.

Getting up earlier won't fix it.
