Loving the launch quick strategy - and keen so see how this goes. I understand the UX journey you want users to have on your site "text Stanley and go" but you have no trust built with the user yet - maybe a bit of content on the site about "this is what it is" "this is how much it costs" would support this intended action. Definitely interested to see how this goes - I would automate X in a...

Interesting approach to what is a challenging market, in more ways than one! Big fan of combining dating with physical activity, but then again my partner and I are both very active so I may be biased!

This is a really good idea, it would be interesting to see how it could be incorporated more frequently if it performs well. Visibility is always an issue for those who don't have the broad distribution networks to get traffic over to the launch.

From my testing, yeah very relatable. The main one for me was it ballooned our operations in our database, which as well as causing performance issues, was expensive. I also found the isolated thinking an issue too, plus complex original thinking it doesn't handle all too well. Still its a powerful tool in the right circumstances, we just need to manage those carefully IMO.

With a lot of the startups I advise, or even those I build, bootstrapping is becoming a more appealing option. Some (I want to preface some not all!) of the VCs in the UK have started horrific round inflation. What would have been good enough for a Series A round 5 years ago is now the requirement for Seed - WAUs/MAUs/MRR etc. There is also the consideration of the market as well that means VCs...

I've been rate limited but never banned in the way you describe; but if you're posting comments and they are towards the conversation isn't that what a social media company wants? I would understand if the comments were reported, but just posting seems a bit off - maybe if you made several hundreds in a day I could maybe see it, but even still.

That's a good potential exercise for sure, because you're right AI is now just another tool in the tech stack. Unless you are one of the few and far between who are actually building the AI engines, then it's the 2026 equivalent of "we use cloud servers" Although AI has been a buzzword back when it was machine learning ruling the roost, the widespread adoption has secured its home as another...

Going to have to try this out. I always struggle to do the "eye contact" on camera. As a speaker I always look at the person I'm talking to - even on zoom! So I'm not looking at the camera, it's a hard thing to do but this could be useful to train myself to look at the camera.

100x the - it's 2026 putting ai in your name is like a vacuum cleaner bragging is uses electricity. I've been trying to tell startups this for a while, but they fear they'll be overlooked unless they say it explicitly. AI is great but it's not a feature, it's tech stack. Questions on whether it always was, but definitely so now.

So slipping back into my statistician origin, couple of things stand out from the quick look at the report which I worry may be misleading - or at the very least are in the shared sample. 1) % not Counts: these can tell a cool story but hide the real facts in a very appealing way when you are looking for impact 2) No sample size: this is key with % because if you have 2% of 1000 or 11% of 20...

Interesting, so a stack overflow moltbook? I remember we used to have to train juniors on "what not to post on StackOverflow" to protect IP and clients. What limitations safeguards do you have against agents posting sensitive code in responses to questions?

Interesting. What's the impact on device performance and battery life? I ask because I see this being really valuable in public spaces, and having a jet engine on a table is not fun (I speak from painful lived experience of laptop fan sounds 😀)

Nice. I like the softer always on - that way people don't need to click to see.

Congratulations on the launch, going to be keeping an eye on this. It's great to see a UK business taking on this and giving options in the market. Is it just a Chat interface or do you have platform API?

This is such a valuable data point that is critical to ongoing development and learnings. Does it only work with the analytics providers you have here, or can you integrate it directly into an application?

Definitely going to have to play about with this when I get a moment, data like this is really valuable for multiple reasons with the work I do - if it means I don't have to fight with Crunchbase I will definitely be an avid user!

I advise investors and help with due diligence/exploration - specifically around the value of their technology/product - so whilst not an acquirer/buyer I can give what I would see from this. It shows potential, and in days gone by that would be an incredibly valuable currency - it's just not as valuable right now. In a case as old as time, social media traction doesn't translate at all well to...

Interesting! I do have a wearable, but the issue is one of my main activities (bouldering) I don't wear it as I don't want to get damaged or injured from doing so. It would be cool if I could tag or specify why it was off during that period and have that inform some suggestions too.

Hey nice to meet you. My journey started similarly with geocities and flash games. AI has changed the way I code too, especially around testing and feature design. What's your current night build?
