Launching my first SaaS. How did you get your first paying customers?

TL;DR: I’m building a SaaS after running a handmade crafts business. I’m looking for something easier to manage day-to-day while keeping my full-time job. I’ve set a launch deadline. The concept is simple: a personal budget management SaaS. The goal isn't to get rich, but to land my first French customers. Development isn't an issue, but I lack SaaS marketing knowledge. Any advice? ---- After running a handmade crafts business alongside my day job for two and a half years, I wanted a new ch...

Would you use a cute PDF tools website?

Been working on a PDF tools site with a cute theme instead of the usual boring look. Would that make you try it, or would you just stick to iLovePDF or Smallpdf? Link: https://pdfpookie.com Be honest :)

About to launch? Stop being afraid of “being late”

You’re not an investor: the timing of your entry isn’t that important. What matters is HOW you enter the market. Many of you are afraid of arriving too late, missing the wave, and so on… And this anxiety either paralyzes you or makes you rush things. You’re not an investor. you’re an entrepreneur. Forget the When, focus on the How.

Am I the only one getting tired of AI tools that try to do everything?

Maybe it’s just me, but I’ve started preferring AI tools that do one thing really well. Every week there’s another AI assistant that promises to plan trips, write code, summarize meetings, generate images, organize your calendar, answer emails, and somehow also replace Google. I usually stop using those after a week. The tools I keep are surprisingly boring. I don’t really think in terms of “best AI” anymore. I just have different defaults now. ChatGPT when I need to think. Perplexity wh...

What's an AI capability you thought was hype until you actually used it?

What's an AI capability you thought was hype until you actually used it? I'll go first: agent orchestration. I read about agents managing other agents and assumed it was demo-ware. Then I built a tiny setup where one agent drafts a news digest and another one reviews and approves it before it posts. The review agent catches genuinely bad takes. It's not sci-fi it's ~100 lines of Python and a couple of API calls. But seeing it actually gate content before publishing changed my mind completely...

What AI doesn't say about AI

I wrote this to share some thoughts on what differentiates AI products as we move toward AGI. In particular, I focus on how product context shapes technology, and how LLM sycophancy can accelerate both good and bad ideas. https://preview.redd.it/5b63quardjhh1.png?width=1456&format=png&auto=webp&s=d6db917333934e6fb6b27c696de40ffa925234e5 Discussions are welcome, I'd like to know how much those thoughts are worth and relevant to other people. https://substack.com/home/post/p-2...

🧠 How does the brain "imagine" a solution even before trying it?

Our brain consumes just 20 watts — as much as a light bulb — yet it plans, navigates, and solves new problems in an instant. Large AI systems, by contrast, require enormous amounts of energy and long training times. What if we copied the way the brain really works? 📄 A recent study in Nature Machine Intelligence answers this question: "Neural sampling from cognitive maps enables goal-directed imagination and planning" by H. Lin, Y. Yang, R. Zhao, G. Pezzulo and W. Maass — Vol. 8, p...

I think we're entering the "AI Agent" era faster than most people realize.

Over the last year, I've been experimenting with LLMs almost every day, and I think the biggest shift isn't that models are getting smarter. It's that they're starting to do things instead of just answer questions. A few months ago I was mostly using AI to generate code, summarize docs, or brainstorm ideas. Now I'm finding myself building workflows where the AI plans tasks, calls tools, writes code, debugs itself, and completes work with minimal intervention. It feels like we're moving away ...

Trump’s AI testing plan is limited and vague

The Trump administration's framework for assessing potential cybersecurity risks posed by advanced AI reportedly has no interest in testing open models. Axios reports that not only do the voluntary guidelines outright exclude open models - meaning anyone can download them and inspect their core components - but the framework explicitly says it can't be used […]

Critical One-Click RCE Flaw Exposes VS Code and Cursor Users to Remote Code Execution

Cursor, VS Code, and Antigravity are the best AI editors most of us have ever used. Here's the new 1-click RCE bug, and what to do about it today.
