Can an AI Assistant Finally Deliver on Its Promise?
I've been watching this weird trend in B2B sales, and it's honestly keeping me up at night.
Everyone's rushing to implement AI sales tools (rightfully so - the efficiency gains are insane), but we might be accidentally breaking the entire profession.
In the last 6 months, over 500+ clients have started using Pleep.
We ve tested a bunch of ways to get here:
Social media gave us reach one LinkedIn post hit ~3,500 impressions but conversions were tiny (2 3 trials at best).
Investor intros opened doors 12 warm leads, 3 serious pilots, 1 paying customer but it s slow.
Conferences were the most fun in Shanghai I even met Angry Birds co-founder and we closed 4 deals from live demos. But they take a lot of time.
Ads turned out surprisingly effective a $500 Meta campaign drove ~120 trial signups in 10 days. Not viral, but the closest we ve seen to predictable growth.
With this whole AI trend, many tools are trying to be invisible: not apps you open, but helpers that quietly run in the background. They show up just enough interface: a chat box, a nudge, or an API call to deliver value, but otherwise stay out of sight.
With today s agent hype, this idea feels like it s accelerating. Agents promise to handle tasks across your apps without you lifting a finger.
Today, I am co-organising my first hackathon in my country, and I will give a talk to the participants about Product Hunt as one of the ways to distribute a product.
Some participants may hear about the platform for the first time, and I would like to encourage them a little in building and launching products.
Today, I came across an article on Techcrunch describing research that found that AI models not only hallucinate, but also lie.
While these are small lies, such as claiming that a task was completed when it wasn t, researchers stress they haven t seen harmful scheming in real-world use yet, but warn risks will rise as AI takes on more complex tasks.
Bridge Memory is a feature idea for Claude (Anthropic s AI assistant) that lets devs temporarily pull in read-only context ( Memory Chips ) from other projects for a single thread so you can reuse standards, snippets, and runbooks without leaking data or polluting memories.
What it is
* Memory Chips (ephemeral): Add chips like Project A Auth Patterns or Project X Incident Runbook while composing.

People love to obsess over age. Every time a teenager ships something, the headline is: Look, they re only 17! It s become a whole genre of founder story.
The EU has proposed a law intended to protect children from online abuse.
But the draft includes a highly controversial measure: mandatory scanning (client-side scanning) of private communications, including encrypted ones, for child sexual abuse material.
Experts and authorities (such as the EDPB and EDPS) warn that this kind of mandatory scanning could lead to mass surveillance through automated tools, posing a serious threat to fundamental rights like privacy and data protection.
According to reports, 15 member states support the proposal, 6 are against it, and 6 remain undecided. The law would not apply to political officials, but it would affect the reading of communication of ordinary citizens.
At 15 I trained my first machine learning model and landed an internship at a U.S. company. At 16 I launched my first startup and promptly ran it into the ground. I learned more from that failure.
At 17 I launched Pleep, an AI sales rep that lets any business owner integrate AI into their sales workflow in under five minutes. Four months later I quit my job to work on it full time.
Why bother? I kept asking myself: Why isn t there an AI sales monopoly yet? My take: because most competitors deliver AI consultants that talk like robots and kill revenue. We focused on building a real rep that:
Doesn t ask you to prompt or pick an LLM you just tell us about your business and we do the rest.
Talks like your top salesperson, not a bot.
Books meetings and pushes data back into your CRM.
