Fuck it. Do cringey things. This is day one of me putting myself out there. This is my first video, I talk about:.– moving to sf.– facing my insecurities around making content.– building my startup, Bex . Next one I’ll break down how I booked 30 sales calls in a month and

Just unlocked a travel hack with @perplexity_ai ! . My wife and I like doing walking tours when we visit a new city but they often cost us ~$20 each. Today in Rome, instead of going on a walking tour, I just asked Perplexity (free) to tell me more about the Trevi fountain. It

I came to the US 1 month ago at 26. I knew 1 person. I've already met more successful and kind people here, than I have in my life. It really does feel like anything is possible here.
I came to the US at 23 for an internship. I knew 4 people here. 2 years later I made my first million. Feels like anything is possible here.

$0 → $40 MRR. I’ve done a pretty shitty job of building in public. Feels like we’re close to an inflection point, so I want to document this moment, before anything really happens. Can't wait to look back and see how far we’ve come. Stay tuned to see this number go up 🫡

A company’s tribal knowledge is a form of IP. The ones that preserve it will outpace their competitors. Why? Because giving both AI agents and humans access to up-to-date context makes them more effective at their jobs. That means unlocking what’s said in Slack, calls, and.
Companies are not collections of people. They are evolving networks of memory and applied knowledge.

We’re one step closer to putting documentation on autopilot 👀. Bex now automatically updates your documentation by listening to Slack channels 🔥. Why do we think this is important?. We believe that input context is one of the biggest drivers of AI agent performance.

Is it just me or has Google Meets gotten significantly worse lately? . Not only have they started to paywall things like call recordings (not even available on Business Standard), but the call quality isn't great (always been an issue), and every time I share my screen, it.

@partiful: *almost wins Apple App of the Year 2024*. Apple: “I have an idea”.
I really like the “Apple Invites” welcome screen. It's simple and effective at showing what the app is about and what you can do with it. I also like the subtle rotation of the cards.

@mresponsively I think it is completely unreasonable for them to request a refund. It is not your fault that they chose not to use your product? I don't think there is a single company I can think of that would refund you for this.

As a former engineer and product person, sales always felt like this mysterious dark art I could never touch. It seemed like something reserved for charismatic people with perfect timing and a silver tongue. But turns out… sales is just a bunch of boring, repetitive workflows:.

How to know your co-founder is cracked ⚡️. Their idea of a good time is running over mountains for 10 hours straight. It’s well known that startups are marathons, not sprints. Safe to say, I’ve picked a good running partner. This isn’t my first startup, but it’s the first time

@AskBexAI will soon automatically create updates to your document directly in Confluence. We want Bex to act as a kind of middleware between your team comms, internal knowledge & other AI tools. Imagine if an AI support bot was trained on the document that I showed in the demo.

I wonder how many startups that say they scaled to $1M ARR in 12 months are actually counting from their liftoff point, and are skipping the months of tinkering before that. Either way, we’ve been figuring things out for 10+ months. Bootstrapped. This is our revenue. Yes, we.

@SherryYanJiang I think before “AI” - consumers had a really high expectation for quality software and time to “Aha” or “Value”. They of course still do but now AI can just make your product instantly feel like magic (like cal AI) so they’re willing to put up with maybe a less mature product.

Tried this wine in South Africa. Mind-blowing to see AI image generation used in such a practical way. It’s called “Oom Koos gaan see toe” which means “Uncle Koos goes to the sea”.

@mrmagan_ @FarzaTV @_buildspace Thanks Mike! I couldn't show everything in 90 seconds but essentially Bex updates your documentation for you based on your Slack messages (and soon video calls!). So basically Bex is tapped into all your real-time communication flows, picks up on any conflicts with your existing.

The next step for @AskBexAI is automatically updating your existing documentation/tickets based off what you discuss in meetings. Imagine a PM and an Engineer have a Slack Huddle and the PRD and Eng tickets are immediately updated with what you discuss. 🚀.
