The question is not "What can't the agent do that you can?" It is "What can you do with the agent that you could not before?" Generate 4-5 drafts for different features that you know how to implement. Easy. Just pick them up once you are ready and polish them. Don't know

Repeat founders, world-class experience and unstoppable ambition - @andreasklinger's spotlight on @sunriserobots and @tomazstolfa perfectly encapsulates the seriously tough missions Europe is tackling right now 🔥

Talking to GPT-5 is not for the faint of heart. Not a single "hey, how are you" or "you're absolutely right". I might have to do some positive affirmations.
