[Claude @claudeai]

We’re opening a research preview of Claude Duet, a new app where Claude works as a proactive agent.

It comes to you with what needs your attention, completes tasks you ask of it, keeps working when you step away, and checks with you before it acts on your behalf.

@austinxwalker I literally thought that you guys talk about PMF, raising and how to enjoy life without guilt

I can say with 100% conviction that he is right.

Made close to 1200+ videos in last 5 years and learnt this the hard way by hit and trial

If your content is flopping, it’s because you’re using the wrong story arc.

The traditional story arc (e.g., five act story) doesn’t work because brains are mush.

People scroll away before rising action gets good.

Instead use the modern story arc

Some AI companies are so fraud, we all know them

[Paras Madan @ParasMadan9]

@ColinGardiner It was a fraud before as well

[Shashank Srivastava @ThatSalariedGuy]

I don't completely agree with this.

If you're building something new, cold emails can actually be one of the best ways to find your first customers.

The problem is that a lot of founders treat cold outreach at the MVP stage like they're selling an established product.

You're emailing someone who has never heard of you, asking them to try something that probably isn't fully ready yet.

I'd start by finding people who are already talking about the problem I'm trying to solve.

Search Reddit for keywords around the problem. Go through 1-star and 2-star Trustpilot reviews of competitors. You can even use Google searches like site:reddit[dot]com "looking for an alternative to [competitor]" to find relevant discussions.

You'll find people explaining exactly what frustrates them, what they've already tried and what they wish existed.

Use that to understand who you're building for, then reach out personally where appropriate. Ask about their experience instead of immediately pitching your MVP.
