Congratulations to @DescriptApp's new CEO, @burkenstocks!. And congratulations to me on my new role, executive chairman! If you haven't heard it, “executive” chairman is a title founders give themselves so they can still hang around the office and undermine their successor for a

hm probably not good if we are getting complements about this - I just want to be average. @burkenstocks please make canceling harder.
Every so often you run into an app or service that makes canceling and deleting an account incredibly easy and straight-forward. 👏@DescriptApp.

I suspect the "idea guys" we made fun of 10 years ago will still get made fun of 10 years from now. The thing they lack, that AI doesn't necessarily solve, isn't just technical know-how; it's resourcefulness, the ability to "just find a way" to turn ideas into reality. I haven't

My 11 year old loves baseball - we've been watching lots of player interviews. and ChatGPT has now confirmed what I feared. Is this the general perception, that baseball players are the dumbest of the athletes?

We're reimagining @DescriptApp around agentic vibe editing - lots of talk about Cursor for Video but nothing is close to the truly open experience you get in Descript, go give it a try!.
Ready to try vibe editing? Check out our new agentic AI co-editor, Underlord, on @ProductHunt. It puts you in the director's chair—just tell it what to do. And it’s got judgment, so it can make suggestions and give feedback. Cool, eh? Check out the launch at the link below.

Cool @DescriptApp agent workflow thing - after I finished my edit, I just asked it to create a prompt so I that I can paste into my next video and single shot edit it.

What do I know, but all those people predicting that AI is going to create a bigger wealth/power gap in the short term, I'd bet on that atm. My sense is that not everyone goes through life with a certain kind of sensitivity to noticing problems, and I think the people who do -.

For founders trying to scale, these vibecoding tools feel like being a sober drug addict at burning man - the hardest transition we go through is learning how to stop doing the thing that got us there in the first place - building stuff - and delegating it to our teams.

I didn't see this announced, but now when you ask ChatGPT for feedback, it'll leave comments on your canvas - so cool. and feels like something that's certain to be staple of the emerging interaction language for agentic editors

Was listening to the Lenny podcast w/ the Cursor CEO… TL;DR where he sees programming going is that it’ll look more like you’re writing application logic in natural english language instead of code. Struck me that they’re basically operating on the same belief as us at.

Cool blast from the past - if anyone wants to see what the very first version of @DescriptApp looked like. Thanks for sharing @pitdesi!.
@Detour This is a cool video, shows you a bit more about how it worked AND the tool that you edited them with, which is now @DescriptApp, an audio and video editing app which spun out of Detour.

The rise and fall - and rise - of Abercrombie & Fitch is absolutely f*- insane. The hottest brand of the 2000 spread double popped collars and the smell of Fierce across every high school and college campus. But then got canceled and plummeted by 80% with 450 stores worldwide
