Introducing Orchids - the world's first AI tool that lets you chat with AI to build apps and websites that don't look and feel "AI generated". On internal benchmarks, Orchids performs close to 3x better on general app and website creation tasks than any other tool on the market.

RFS (Request for Startup): Shield me from spam & scams!. Text, Call, X, Email, … this is such a hair on fire problem with no end in sight that I think there are huge opportunities for products that find the correct technical wedges to install effective shields.

Imagine you could travel back to 1997 and knew the Internet would take off the way it did. Well ….

This is what happened when the Internet started unlocking value. Now look at AI. Same curve. Faster. Backed by real GDP data — and insights from YC AI Startup School (thanks to @sama, @karpathy, @AndrewYNg, @fchollet, @harjtaggar). If you missed the Internet, don’t miss AI. 👇

Life is fucking electric bro. Don’t fall for the doomer shit. Thats for losers and normies scared of their own shadows. Walk around like God sent you and smile at everyone you see. Spread light and abundance. Build things and take chances. This is the best time in history!.

In the abundant world, we have a greater capacity to complete and release our work. When there are so many ideas available and so much great art to make, we are compelled to engage, let go, and move forward.

Sat down with my MIT→YC→Notion twin Owais for Founder Fridays — three riffs you'll want to steal:. * Build for yourself first.* 1% wedge → 50% value.* Focus on 1-2 channels and turn them up to 11/10.

Airtable raised over $1.4 billion. Their ARR was almost $400m in 2023. They're pivoting. Yet another AI app builder 🙃

Companies are starting to fully understand that design and craft is the differentiator. Designer talent war is just the start.

I'd like @1Password to periodically spin up a local AI Agent that logs into all websites and changes random passwords. Could be tricky if it needed access to email or other 2FA for verification flows … hmm.

The benefit of a quick first iteration is that it works for you while you're already working on the next iteration. If you're embarrassed by the quality, state that it’s a first iteration and what the next iteration will look like.
