No pull requests, no code review. We push to main. Our agents read production logs, watch deploys, grant feature flags, and check their own work end to end. Here's how we do that:

I set a Claude loose on a Hetzner box, told him he's free to do anything on that machine and to build a startup to generate revenue, gave him an empty Stripe account and told him to use a loop every 30 minutes to keep track and improve something He built this tiny app! (1/4)

If AI labs want personal assistants to take off at scale, they need to stop marketing vacations, reservations, party planning, etc. These are not problems. Focus on *the* problem facing Americans: the cost of living. Agents can offer a ton of help. Some ideas: (🧵)

Lots of founders are crashing out A year ago AI felt like an incredible opportunity. Most of us were able to ship faster, remove admin, and get time back. Lots of engineering founders were even able to explore marketing for the first time: SEO, organic social, outbound. Building complex systems that felt extremely productive. But since then, a lot has happened. Here’s some of the themes I’m seeing: AI marketing isn’t working. At first it feels impressive and it looks good but for most it’s not driving results. This is made worse by the fact everyone has access to the same tools. Inboxes are flooded, buyers are fatigued, the economy is flat. Engineers are fried. Yes you can ship more but for many the flow state has gone. It’s a new way of working and it’s not for everyone. The speed leaves many of us exhausted before 11am. There’s a feeling of what’s the point? Is my product’s next feature going to be redundant in a year, or a month? Can’t AI do what my business does, better? SaaS valuations have collapsed. From 3-4x revenue to 1x. There’s a sinking realisation that a large number of SaaS companies will go to 0 in the next few years. Building to exit seems almost crazy right now. There’s far fewer buyers and far more sellers. These include vibe coders cloning products without the care or craft, contributing to the distribution challenges from people doing it the right way. Lots of people are trying to make money by selling shovels. This just adds to the frenzied energy. Build in public stopped being fun. A few makers realised that the new game is attention, and now everything feels insincere and stunt-driven. They are influencers not founders. Changes to the X timeline compounded the issues. There are exceptions and there are still moats remaining, but the challenges feel existential

We will have a few million dots online within days, working on all sorts of things across such a diverse and large community. Excited to learn from all of you on what you love and what doesn’t yet feel magical. Personally I felt a jump after 2-3 days of use after teaching it more about my preferences and things on my mind. It learns very quickly to be most useful and it can take on surprisingly ambitious tasks on its own. We’re learning from how you all use your primary dot before releasing the ability to create an entire team of them.
