Microsoft is reportedly working on making Copilot more emotionally intelligent, designed to check in on users and behave more like a therapist to resonate with Gen Z.
I have been in the blockchain/crypto industry for 5 years now. Both as an investor and as a developer. I have launched many products on ETH, Polygon & Cardano network.
This thread though is more about the investor side of things. How are you folks dealing with the volatility of this particular cycle? The uncertainty from the politics and regulations that are coming from US side? Feels like the business market cycle will never play out right?
I ve been chatting with other early stage builders and one theme keeps popping up is that there s so much important but not core work that needs doing (things like ops, research, content, or lead gen) and it all adds up fast when you re solo.
And hiring help early on isn t always possible (budget, trust, speed), trying to do it all yourself can be draining and distracting from core product work.
Curious how others are navigating this phase:
Are you using freelancers? Automation tools? Just doing less?
SF is buzzing this week, but the question travels: how do you actually meet the right people (cofounders, investors, collaborators, etc.) without burning the night? What works for me: be visible (present/pitch if possible instant context), be memorable (two-liner like I spent a decade in meetings at Apple left to fix that ), and be intentional (goal: 5 useful connections, 1 investor intro keep moving every 3 5 minutes).
Here's my simple framework:
Intent Target Ask (why you re here, who you need, concrete next step).
Anchor to the moment ( What stood out from the talk? ).
Exit cleanly ( Great chat mind if I send that link tonight? ).
I don't see a lot of products using the realtime api in building their conversation ai agents. Given that it now has realtime communication support through WebRTC allowing low latency conversations, I expected it to blow up. Are there any limitations of this model like hallucinations and or is it just too expensive for commercial use?
