We built an autonomous agent that launches your startup idea for you.

@kevinrose tried it last week. Idea → landing page → positioning → ads → first users. Days, not months. All on autopilot.

It's called Otto. Describe what you want to build. Otto handles the rest — and you can jump in anytime to steer.

Start from your terminal, @openclaw , or https://t.co/sSQO5d3IFT. Now open to everyone.

Audos is one of the cooler AI things/tools I've come across recently

I heard about it through @danshipper 's podcast and have been playing around with building a Strava data analyzer that becomes a coach who should theoretically personalize a plan based on all your data

it's super fun to use too. it's a bot inside of an Instagram dm that you chat with

i don't feel like I've interacted with many AIs that take action themselves, but this one does and it's wild

might have to get back into #buildinpublic tinkering again with this

if you're a runner and want to do a little user conversation and play around with it, have a ball. i'm still trying to piece it's UX together but it's a pretty cool thing that got created in like 10 Instagram dms

Nicholas Thorne (@thorneny) is building Squarespace for the AI age.

It’s called Audos, and it’s an AI chatbot to help any entrepreneur go from idea to:

- Pitch deck
- Working website
- Custom GPT
- User interviews with real customers

All in just a few minutes. And he did it using @ChatGPTapp. It’s AI all the way down—and it’s one of the most impressive early AI businesses I’ve ever seen.

Nicholas is a good friend of mine and a general partner at @prehype, an incubator that launched @barkbox and @ro. It’s also where I started @Every, so it was great to come full circle.

Nicholas’s job at Prehype is to launch new companies. He’s taken everything he’s learned running an incubator and is using it to help entrepreneurs start businesses at scale—with AI.

Nicholas tells me that he used @ChatGPTapp to prototype most of Audos’s features—despite being non-technical himself. He shares exactly how he did this by showing me how he’s using AI to create a new feature for the product.

We get into:

- Ways AI can make you a more effective founder
- How to use ChatGPT to build your prototype
- Strategies to refine problem statements with AI
- Using GPTs to gather and synthesize customer feedback

This episode is a must-watch for anyone who has ever toyed with the idea of starting a business—and wants to do it with AI.

Watch!

Jeremy and I just had an awesome chat with @okuiux , the co-founder of Typeform, on our latest episode of Beyond the Prompt. We dove into how to keep your entrepreneurial fire alive as your company grows and how AI is shaking up product design. https://t.co/Xf8H8vBto4

[Prehype @prehype]

In the latest episode of Beyond the Prompt, @JeremyUtley and @werdelin engage with @danshipper, in a deep dive into practical AI. They are not just discussing AI's potential; but exploring its real-world applications in organizations and daily life.

I can’t wait to see all this come to life. It’s hard to understand that what started as 3D printed space rocket engine test will become the team that will build a space station. Onwards and upwards!

"Momentum is oxygen", "Micro-moments" and "Customer-Founder Fit" are some of the new concepts I explore in a blog post about things to do before making a startup. Read it here: https://t.co/d0dLXhmdBF

[Jeremy Utley @jeremyutley]

The challenges to creativity inside of large organizations are well documented. But it’s a mistake to assume therefore that nothing creative happens inside of big companies.

Lots does.

You just have to know where to look

[Henrik Werdelin @werdelin]

AI is transforming how we work, and that of course includes entrepreneurship. Generative AI can help entrepreneurs handle more tasks, making it a 20x force multiplier for starting new ventures.

[Jeremy Utley @jeremyutley]

Hot take: every organization has something worth carving out, but 90% aren’t even aware of it, as it’s entirely unmonetized and they aren’t organized to commercialize internal IP.

Raise your hand if you know of an internal tool that could be externalized https://t.co/VCI4J6Gxyo

Every business has customers. But not every business has customer relationships. We call this advantage Relationship Capital. And it's the topic of the latest episode of the prehype podcast. https://t.co/3sdKtFlCWC
