A friend just shared 123 crazy ideas that he thinks people should build. Check them out below:

I mean this is how we really all want email to work… right?

Where did our friends go??

The bike rides. The sleepovers. Your first cigarette. Gossiping about your latest crush. Being consoled when they break your heart. Discovering a new city. Re-discovering your own (at 2AM). The hungover brunches. The tears. The laughs. The love.

So many of the moments that shaped us were shared with friends.

And then those moments started happening online. Posting photos from last night’s party. Tagging your latest situationship. Poking your roommate (whatever that means??). It was exciting and well intentioned, but something got lost along the way. The platforms that were built to bring friends closer together became places we go to scroll through videos… of strangers.

We’re entertained, but where did our friends go?

We started amo because we believe that friendship still deserves a place online. We’re a group of friends who have spent our lives building stuff for friends. And now, we’re getting ready to share something new for you and your crew.

We call it amo. And to us, amo is more than a company. It’s a friend affair, « une affaire d’amitié ». Something we’re making for you, but for us too.

Our first idea is almost here. We hope you love it as much as we love making it.

Welcome to amo.

In the same way "login with Google/FB" reduced a ton of onboarding friction for the last generation of web apps, "share my digital memory" (e.g., plug in your meeting transcripts or Rewind data) will unlock the next generation of AI-native services.

Tons of problems to be solved in re privacy, security, and retrieval/synthesis of relevant info, but this is ultimately going to be a game-changing design pattern — you immediately get a personalized service (which might even be almost entirely invisible, eg, a AI sales coach combs through all of your sales calls from all time and gives you an extremely precise and bespoke set of actionable feedback) without having to repeat yourself for the millionth time.

I imagine there are all sorts of interesting architectures that folks will experiment with to figure out how to support this, but I think generally it looks something like "putting data into escrow."

What's really cool is that this could unlock some wild use cases in re a single person having multiple fractional memberships in "digital coops" and corporations/DAOs that look more like mutual aid societies (or guilds) than the current standard c-corp setup where a single entity owns, top-down, all of your data and know-how; traditional employment will seem absurd as more people realize just how valuable of an asset their digital memory is.

Said simply, it's turning out to be true in some sense that data really is the new oil (although there's quite a range in re quality, so the analogy isn't perfect). LLMs and complementary technologies allow us to build custom refineries on top, and that's something every one of us will want to have more control over.

There's a huge amount of value locked up in people's heads. Making that available to others as a private (and, ultimately, public) good will leave us all better off. But, the software and services of the future built to support this pattern will look VERY different than those of the past 20y.
