We've had beta access to ChatGPT Ads and have been impressed.
AI advertising is complicated, but I remember friends who were early advertisers on Facebook and saw massive success. We are making a bet at @B12 that the same opportunities will exist on ChatGPT. See some of our early lessons below. If you are playing around with ChatGPT Ads let me know as well, we would love to trade notes.

@OpenAI just launched its self-serve Ads Manager for ChatGPT, but we've been running ads inside ChatGPT since March.
Here are six lessons we've learned.
With code generation in @b12, we were worried about the loss of traditional no-code editing. We have spent nearly a decade thinking through ways for users to click and edit.
It has been amazing to see how quickly the team has reached parity and, in some ways, improved how users can edit a website in B12 today, while also having the power of native AI generation and agents.
New editing options are live in B12!
Click to tweak fonts, colors, images, and more directly on the page with visual edit mode, or use the left pane to see more style choices.
New in B12: message queuing.
Now you can give the AI Agent tasks as quickly as you think of them. No need to wait before sending your next request. It queues everything up and handles tasks in order.

We are excited to announce one of the biggest changes we have ever made at @b12. We started working on AI-powered websites in 2015. This was before ChatGPT, before the scaling laws, and even before OpenAI was founded. We spent the last decade building tooling, themes, and a library of components that would help us bring AI to websites. It was, at times, a glimpse into our AI future.
Over the last year, coding agents have made tremendous progress, and we have had many discussions about what that means for B12. It became increasingly clear that the future of our space would be driven by agentic coding. Not only is the technology improving exponentially, but the promise of code generation also aligns well with the pain points we hear from users who want to build without constraints. So we made a hard call: we disrupted ourselves and moved beyond a framework we had spent years building.
Today, we are announcing B12 3.0, powered by a new coding agent. We have been testing it over the last few weeks, and the results have been stunning. B12 3.0 has enabled users to build websites, apps, and internal tools that are richer in functionality and design. It has also doubled our purchase rate.
Huge thanks to the whole team that worked so hard to bring B12 3.0 to market and to our users who have provided tremendous feedback. We are in the early innings of how agentic coding will change what we can all build. I’m excited to bring this capability to B12!
We’ve spent 10 years trying to make building a website dramatically easier. Not just faster, but helping people create exactly what they have in mind.
Today we announced B12 3.0.
Instead of templates, you start with a prompt that a coding agent turns into a complete project around your idea. You can build everything from user-friendly web apps to beautiful online stores.

Really proud of the team and can’t wait to see what people build! ✨
Memory can unlock how we use AI. @taranjeetio and the @mem0ai team are building the infrastructure to bring AI across applications.
I was lucky enough to invest in the pre-seed. Just as inspiring as the traction is Tarajeet's journey from India to SF to build Mem0.
Memory is what makes us human. It's also what makes AI truly intelligent.
@mem0ai has raised $24M to build the universal memory layer for AI.
Thousands of teams in production. 14M downloads. 41K GitHub stars.
Intelligence needs memory & we're building it for everyone.
