@spencer @Ocapgames Cool to see what you guys have been doing from afar! Best as I can tell - Strengths: strategy, shipping speed, tokenomics, incentives, community activation and partnerships. Weaknesses: comms, tech issues. Not easy to revive an nft brand and that too in a bear market.

[Zain @zainyou]

@gregisenberg Love this! Pretty much what I’m doing….Would be cool to see what you consider good examples of core insights -> easy to go too broad or too narrow…

[Zain @zainyou]

@gregisenberg 💯 Even living in the tools every day still feels hard to keep up with the latest advancements in each model. Ive found that having regular knowledge sharing calls with other founders has been helpful, since no one person can stay on top of it all

@gregisenberg It’s getting colder haha, but never a bad time to visit nyc

@celinehalioua @strandbrown Sorry to hear that, how old was she?

[Zain @zainyou]

@gregisenberg A lot of communities are also moving into smaller, more localized groups like what’s app and group chats

@celinehalioua Have you tried wispr flow? (no affiliation)

[Zain @zainyou]

Curious to hear from others, what AI solutions have you tried for getting customers and did they work?

[Zain @zainyou]

Now that the novelty of vibe coding is wearing off, let's talk about the reality.

It's actually been easy to build a prototype for a long time. You could build a simple website or landing page or even an app using no-code tools. And in the early stages that's all you need.

[Zain @zainyou]

If AI can solve for getting customers (and I mean in a way that actually works), that is much more powerful than solving for just the "build." This goes beyond just vibe marketing.

[Zain @zainyou]

@celinehalioua I recently joined substack, and have found it to be a much more thoughtful platform / community so far. You can actually explore an idea with some nuance, as opposed to the clickbait everywhere else.

[Zain @zainyou]

Automation Engineers who can bridge the gap between business processes and technical work are going to be pretty valuable for the foreseeable future.

[Zain @zainyou]

So if big companies now have distribution AND speed on their side, how do startups compete? Seems like niches and high-touch personalization is probably the best entry point.

[Zain @zainyou]

For a long time, startups had one big advantage over big companies: speed.

[Zain @zainyou]

What's been interesting in this cycle of AI is that, maybe for the first time, we're now seeing examples of big companies shipping FAST. Open AI, Lovable, even Microsoft. Of course, not every big company is moving that fast.
