You should build 100x of added value on top of raw AI intelligence in order to justify API price compared to subscription.

This is the reality of AI products very few understand.

[Viktor Surkov @viktor__surkov]

The most frustrating thing in SaaS right now is limited API.

When you almost did what you wanted with your agent but then you should go and learn how to finish that through their interface.

@adamlyttleapps The weather some can build their own tools doesn’t mean they would. The same way as a business owner doesn’t do cleaning in the office himself but hires a cleaning company for that.

@yesadok True

Sometimes it feels like the era of smart people has ended, and now the loudest ones win.

[Viktor Surkov @viktor__surkov]

Outsourcing your thinking to AI is the dumbest thing you can do for yourself.

You’ll never learn how to solve this problem.
It never solves the problem on its own.

[Viktor Surkov @viktor__surkov]

@foliofed @gummy_search Can’t wait to see your next ventures released!

[Viktor Surkov @viktor__surkov]

I think that I’m broken.

Every time when I’m doing a demo, I have a feeling that I’m doing it for a competitor that is trying sniff where we’re moving.

@pnjoyim @StevenBartlett Why AGI is impossible?
Can you disclose your reasoning behind it?

[Viktor Surkov @viktor__surkov]

If my product had been listed on @trust_mrr, I’d remove it immediately after reading this post.

[Elvis @elvissun]

send this to fable:

"find high-growth @trust_mrr startups in my niche and reverse engineer their marketing channels"

results are insane

[Viktor Surkov @viktor__surkov]

Cool insight into task granularity.

Despite all that hype with loops, workflows, fleets of subagents, most sessions by Peter are pretty small.

[Peter Steinberger 🦞 @steipete]

That's about as many sessions as my Mac Studio can take.

[Viktor Surkov @viktor__surkov]

Only in tech bubble.
In Europe most just don’t give a f to what’s happening.

People are actually ending up in the hospital with stress from trying to escape the permanent underclass

[Viktor Surkov @viktor__surkov]

The world needs MORE AI visibility trackers!

[Viktor Surkov @viktor__surkov]

@nikpolale That’s a good niche!
Do you do demos?

I might actually switch to squeezly from loops. I’m waiting for their API for too long, and have seen you have that available right now.

And PS. You’ve been suggested by Claude :)

[Viktor Surkov @viktor__surkov]

Finally it feels like we're about to start the take off

[Viktor Surkov @viktor__surkov]

Slop is about people, not AI.

[Brian Halligan @bhalligan]

The Marketing department is changing. The role of the CMO is changing.

Across all the CEOs that I talk to, Marketing is the team that is using AI the most (second to Engineering). The role is becoming more cross functional, more dynamic.

@ivanhzhao talks about how this shift at @NotionHQ:

- Storytelling is now embedded with the Product team
- Demand generation is serve the sales function

Those that are part of the Marketing team are now Marketing "and Sales" or Marketing "and Product". This is the evolution to the five tool operator.
