NOW: one prompt to Claude Code and you have a working app in days. you describe it, Claude writes the logic, RevenueCat bills, App Store distributes. the real skill isn't coding. it's the keyword filter. popularity 40–70. difficulty under 60. under 4 competitors with 100+ ratings. that's a $500/month app sitting there unbuilt. 75% of all downloads start with search. the store doesn't care who wrote the code. it cares if your keyword matches the query. the barrier used to be the engineer. now it's whoever validates first and hits submit. $60/month in tools. one weekend per app. 12 apps = $25K/month. full keyword filter, Claude prompts, and App Store playbook below

This guy has LESS THAN 600 followers on X. Yet he's at $20K MRR and he built his app in 48 hours. This is one of the smartest distribution plays I've seen so far... Here’s the top 4% of my chat with Hasaam: > 90-day revenue timeline from 0 → $21.8K MRR (1:40) > The distribution hack he used overnight (4:04) > His 48-hour build sprint, hour by hour (5:02) > The 6-step playbook to pick an idea (8:49) > The exact tech stack for shipping fast (11:12)

Dude bootstrapped an AI app builder to $50K/month (in a space where companies hit $200M ARR). And he did it without writing a single line of code. His whole strategy is copy-paste. He broke it all down for me: - Why every idea is already taken (and why that's good) (0:00) - The exact Stripe numbers behind $50K/month (1:27) - Building an AI coding tool with zero coding skills (2:46) - The one pain point they tripled down on (4:14) - How X took them from $1K to $20K MRR in 2 weeks (6:17) - Finding the 1% difference that wins (7:21) - The copy-paste playbook for 2026 (10:05)

I had an incredible chat with se, co-founder of fomo (now @fomo). fomo launched less than a year ago but has already had a remarkable rise, becoming a go-to trading app for both crypto-native and mainstream users alike. We cover a lot of ground, from the original motivation to build fomo, to recruiting the early team, what worked (and didn't work) with user acquisition, and what he's learned over the past year. Sometimes the success behind certain crypto products can feel random, but it's clear that fomo's is not. They've been extremely intentional with every part of the company (team/product/growth/fundraising), and it reflects in the feedback from users. Was a pleasure recording this one. (0:00) Intro (1:13) Early life. Jersey and Yale (7:03) Working on product at dYdX and meeting Paul (14:06) The genesis of fomo, early team formation (33:42) Product-first philosophy and obsession with UX (46:24) User-led growth and getting to know your customers (59:48) Raising Series A from Benchmark (1:06:22) Where fomo is heading; the speculation graph era (1:21:49) Building a social product to match its growth (1:28:58) Memecoins as a category (1:40:35) Other teams that Se admires

Three months ago, Codex was trash for knowledge work. Now it's my daily driver. I use it for writing, recruiting, deep engineering work, and everything in between. It even keeps me at inbox 0. I chatted with Every 📧's head of growth Austin Austin Tedesco on Every 📧's AI & I about what changed, and why he now spends 80% of his working time in the Codex desktop app too. We get into: - How Codex went from making Austin feel like an idiot to being the place he goes to get stuff done, including complex tasks like writing go-to-market plans using existing material from Slack, Notion, and meeting transcripts. - Why the Codex’s desktop app, which is faster and more reliable than Claude Desktop/Cowork, is the real differentiator. - How I source candidates with Codex by having it identify career arcs, not keywords—my go-to move is identifying organizations likely to teach the skills Every needs for a role, and then find candidates from that pool who have since gone on to work in AI. This is a must-watch for anyone who's wondering whether it’s finally time to give Codex a try. Watch below! Timestamps How Codex went from a tool for senior engineers to a daily driver for knowledge work: 00:00:57 How Claude Code proved that a great coding agent works for any knowledge work: 00:02:42 Austin's switch to Codex: 00:07:24 How Austin set up Codex with folders, keys, and reviewer agents: 00:13:48 Using Codex to brainstorm automations across Gmail, Slack, and Notion: 00:18:24 How Austin manages the human review step when Codex is drafting communications: 00:22:42 Using Codex to build specialized agents inspired by product executive Claire Vo: 00:28:54 Synthesizing meeting transcripts and Slack threads into a go-to-market plan: 00:31:09 Building a live KPI tracker in Notion that agents can read: 00:40:15 Using Codex for recruiting: 00:44:54
