day 1 → day 100.
10,000 users.
first 1,000 took us over a month. the last 1,000 took 2 days.
50k+ messages sent. 740k+ products pulled up. 7.3k+ clicks to buy.
team’s growing, @askbro_io's learning, and we’re very quickly running out of table.
the table did not scale. bro did. 🫡
anthropic's backers are reportedly charging a 3–5% fee on top of the IPO price. even a $1.4T company has a delivery fee.
should've asked @askbro_io
Between the price of the PS6/Xbox Helix and AI-driven piracy, I have no idea how the current console model survives.
Are we just meant to stop playing?

the road outside our office has been dug up for so long i'm starting to think they're looking for the spark we had back in the summer of 2016

used @askbro_io to buy my first TV.
55” Mini LED. 4K. 144Hz.
₹46,000.
apparently the app I work on can also stop me from making a financially questionable TV purchase.
we love product-market fit 📺
the average message people send @askbro_io is 62 characters.
that's not a search query. that's a text to a friend. which was kind of the point of the name.
anthropic's head of security btw
as bad as things have gotten in the past 4 days, they are going to get a lot worse before they get better. security leaders, never let a crisis go to waste: please go to your boards and ask for help right now. not for ai, for the basics. (we need to hold on for ~18 months.)

cheaper execution just means you can be wrong about the right customer at higher volume. the expensive bit is still noticing nobody wants the thing

Amazon is blocking AI shopping agents. Walmart is building APIs for them. Google is bringing checkout into Gemini.
Three tech giants. Three strategies. One question: who owns the shopping journey when AI does the shopping?
The next e-commerce battleground isn't the storefront. It's the agent deciding what goes in the cart 🟢
last month on @askbro_io:
browse only → 2% reach checkout
search only → 22%
chat only → 24%
chat + search → 40%
in agentic commerce it's not gonna be chat vs search. it's chat + search. people want to ask and look.
