It's wild that Google Workspace has no easy way to host, share, and collaborate on html files.

Anthropic is about 1 roadmap theme away from shipping a CRM.

In Cowork, Claude can now build live artifacts: dashboards and trackers connected to your apps and files.

Open one any time and it refreshes with current data.

[Jeff Sherlock @olds]

Wild that the command line is now a primary UI for products. You could've given me 100 guesses five years ago and I wouldn't have called that.

[Ramp Labs @RampLabs]

Today, we're releasing Ramp CLI to let agents manage your company's finances.

50+ tools across cards, bills, expenses, travel, and approvals. Fewer tokens than MCP, and comes with pre-built skills like receipt compliance and agentic purchasing.

me at 11pm: yes Amazon I need this by 7am

me at 7am: wtf are all these packages? I wonder what's in them and who ordered them

The irony of this SaaS reset is that it’s a long term gift to the survivors. Low multiples will dry up the incentive and capital for new competitors, ensuring that incumbent revenue remains sticky. In two years, we’ll look back at this as the moment the market accidentally fortified the moats of some it thought were starting to drain.

What's wrong babe? You've barely touched your vibe coded CRM this week.

[Jeff Sherlock @olds]

Building software is an exercise in decision-making, not just typing. When AI makes feature velocity infinite, the premium shifts entirely to restraint and curation. Customers pay you to filter the noise, not amplify it.

DoAnything is one of the more interesting AI products I've used in the last year. Really acts like a complete "assistant". Very fun and powerful.

INTRODUCING: @doanythingapp

Do Anything Agents are a totally new kind of agent

They:
- work independently for weeks/months+
- have their own email
- self manage entire projects
- can use almost any tool on the web

Today the alpha opens to the public. Here's how they work:

[Jeff Sherlock @olds]

It’s truly bewildering to build with tools like Cursor as a product person. I can now create a working prototype in 1/10th the time it used to take just to get alignment on an idea. The long-term impact on how PMs operate is going to be enormous.

Spending my Saturday going through the FY26 @SLCgov budget. The doc is 300+ pages long! Here are some highlights, so you don't have to read it.

[Jeff Sherlock @olds]

@scottew I see you're behind enemy lines. Good luck comrade.

[Jeff Sherlock @olds]

I wish I wanted anything in life as much as GLG wants a 30 minute phone call with me.

[Jeff Sherlock @olds]

@scottew A fantastic read, as always @scottew

[Jeff Sherlock @olds]

@8teAPi OpenAI must go up the value chain to justify its valuation and keep growing. OpenAI receptionist, data analyst, and engineer are probably next.

I'll claim half credit here. @codahq got acquired (merged?) by @Grammarly and the driving force is likely 3 things in rank order from Coda's PoV:

1. Out-executed by Notion for the broad appeal b2b use cases, but also not quite robust enough to compete with Jira/Atlassian for larger eng/product teams and workflows. Great product, but their ICP is narrow (product/eng teams of 20-100 people).

2. AI impact as a potential overhang. How much collaboration do you need in 5-10 years if your average engineering team is 5x more productive and therefore you have way fewer eng/design/pm headcount in general?

3. #1 makes growing difficult and #2 makes it difficult to raise money from investors. Merging with another tool in the b2b suite potentially gives you more ammunition to compete for customer budgets (now you get Grammarly AND Coda for one monthly price) - but it'll be a tough slog to retrain the market and credibly show the synergies.

Thesis: OpenAI needs to work their way "up" the value chain inside organizations to where the work happens to fulfill their potential as a product and business. They can't scale the business of just being an AI endpoint.
Prediction: @coda_hq would be a very logical acquisition towards that end. I think OpenAI or maybe Anthropic will buy @coda_hq in the next 12-18 months.

I don’t mean to lean on my last name like this, but yall I think this UnitedHealthcare assassin might not be American:

1. Rode a bus for 20+ hours from Atlanta instead of flying
2. Stayed at a hostel
3. Rode a bike as his getaway

[Jeff Sherlock @olds]

@SantoJLeo @artlevy @rexsalisbury @ServiceTitan this is the correct take
