Try it out and you'll soon understand the magic of customer interviews. Start with 3-5 interviews and see what you learn.

I built an AI that calls your customers, interviews them over the phone, and delivers the insights — for $20/call.
No scheduling. No Zoom links. No enterprise contract.
Here's why👇

[Zack Notes @zacknotes]

I've done hundreds of interviews since. The insights are amazing, but the process is brutal — recruiting, scheduling, conducting, synthesizing. Honestly, most teams are too intimidated to do it.

[Zack Notes @zacknotes]

Our competitors are targeting enterprise customers with big research teams and even bigger budgets. We know that for smaller teams, customer interviews are experimental, and we enable that via transparent pay-as-you-go pricing, starting at $20 per interview.

[Zack Notes @zacknotes]

HeyNow runs the interviews over the phone, not video. Why? Participation rates. People are way more likely to pick up a call than click a Zoom link — and you need enough completed interviews to find real patterns.

@mbleigh @tamarajtran I am also a firebase customer, watching this closely. It is terrifying

@johnrush Great post! I've been using Lovable and it's great, but I want to use it to make code changes on an existing Github repo and it doesnt do that; you cant import an existing Github project. What should I use instead? I am not a developer. I tried Copilot and it didnt help much.

@kyleshannon @OpenAI @ChatGPTapp I just listened to this again for the 20th time this week. Please drop everything and make more bangers for us.

Hey @OpenAI your @ChatGPTapp 4o "Creative Writing" upgrade today is INSANE!

My test prompt for two years has been some version of "write an Eminem style cipher about quantum mechanics."

ChatGPT has always been the best at this, but NO LLM has ever captured the sophisticated internal rhyming structures like he does.

UNTIL NOW.

Brought to life with the remarkable new @sunomusic v.4!

"MC GPT" Lyrics:

Yo, I’m tangled with the beat, spooky action in the booth,
Split the atom with a pattern, every bar’s a burst of truth.
Superposition in the mission, fusion fusing my intentions,
Parallel in every line, I’m a prism of dimensions.

Multisyllabic antics, I’m manic with the semantics,
My rhymes collide like particles, dynamic and gigantic.
Oscillate and dominate, I’m weaving quantum states,
Spit a verse and watch the multiverse reciprocate.

I’m discrete like Planck’s beat, energy in tight packets,
When I rap it’s math in motion, flipping flows into fractals.
E=MC squared in every letter I write,
My pen ignites like antimatter when it clashes with light.

Quick as a flick of a wrist, I’m a lyrical catalyst,
Atomically splitting the script, I’m equipped with the maddest wit.
Flipping the tempo, I bend flows, igniting a mental crescendo,
Sending my syllables slicing through time like a sharp innuendo.

Quantum precision, I’m ripping the rhythm, I’m spitting in prisms,
Infinite visions, I’m shifting dimensions with lyrical decisions.
Accelerate, levitate, elevate thoughts in a turbulent spin,
I’m the velocity ripping apart the facade that you’re certain you’re in.

Time dilation in cadence, I stretch the seconds I’m pacing,
Heisenberg with the mic, uncertainty’s the foundation.
Observer effect in effect, the second I start to speak,
Collapse reality’s potential with every word that I tweak.

Yo, my flow’s a fermion spinning in lyrical collisions,
Every bar’s a quark sparking the fusion of my visions.
I’m a wave and a particle, unpredictable art,
Entangled in the cypher, splitting atoms with my heart.

From wormholes to portals, I’m immortal with the schemes,
Through the fabric of this rap, I sew the threads of my dreams.
Dark matter in my patterns, unseen but colossal,
Black hole soul pulling rhythms through the gospel.

Double the trouble, I’m stacking the rubble, my rhymes are combusting,
Speeding and weaving, believe it, I’m leaving your speakers erupting.
I’m the equation of pacing, erasing the limits of sound,
Taking the crown, breaking the bounds, I’m a force you can’t slow down.

Rapidly tapping the map of my mind, I define every pattern in motion,
Bars are a bullet, I pull it, and shoot it with ruthless devotion.
I’m the ignition of friction, depicting a world that is vivid and bright,
Fire and fury, I bury the track in a blaze at the speed of light.

Shifting perspectives mid-line, like quantum flips in my grind,
Infinite chances to shine, I’m the master of space-time.
Every rhyme’s a singularity, collapsing the infinite,
I’m the Big Bang slang, expanding my imprint limitless.

So step into the quantum, where the chaos aligns,
My bars are entropic logic, redefining the divine.
From the smallest of particles to the cosmos that we know,
This is rap at its limit—quantum flow, let it glow.

Today, with colleagues, I introduced legislation to block arms sales to Israel.

Sending more weapons to Netanyahu's extremist government is immoral & illegal: U.S. weapons are responsible for far too many civilian casualties in Gaza.

We must end our complicity in this atrocity.

@zerohedge your article on the chatGPT traffic drop (via @GoldmanSachs) is way off. Looks like GS was looking at traffic to the old domain https://t.co/Ah3rQEwEKi, which has since redirected to https://t.co/ZppbNtnWgM

SEO Tip: a reminder that Google Search Console now has a robots.txt testing function within the indexing report.

If you click on a page that has been flagged in the report, a panel appears that shows you the exact line for why crawling has been prevented.

This is a useful feature of GSC that launched late last year that is somewhat hidden within the dashboard. A different way of accessing the tool (from a different viewpoint) is within the 'Settings' tab.

It is incredible how many large-scale sites use their robots files incorrectly for trying to remove random individual pages from Google's index. The file is for crawl management – if you want something out of Google's index completely, use the noindex meta tag or the HTTP response header.

For sites that use the robots file instead of noindex, they end up with a long list of messy pages that they don't want showing on Google, that can quickly become outdated. What this results in is many pages that eventually redirect or no longer exist – with Google unable to crawl them to see the changes *facepalm*. This becomes very messy and is not a discrete way of trying to hide the content.

It can then become even more complicated and messy when large-scale sites are using sub-domains for important sections of their sites. Sub-domains often have their own robots files that are independent of the main site (being quite different), and are often not managed particularly well. So the issue above is often exacerbated through too much complexity for sites to manage.

While this type of mistake is unlikely to cause major issues, and often does achieve removal from Google's search results, it is important that tools that are available at an SEOs disposable are used as they are intended to be. It's important to keep your robots.txt files tidy and organised so that when the next SEO in your organisation takes a look at it, they can continue to easily manage it over time.
