Been thinking about this a lot lately most teams either rely on OS-level deletion or full-drive wipe tools, but neither really covers targeted cleanup (specific files, cloud drive residue, browser traces) for GDPR/HIPAA-style audits. Curious how others handle this in practice is it a tooling gap, or more of a "nobody owns this process" problem in most orgs?
Concept illustration for the CRM idea I m researching.
I m a beginner SaaS builder currently working on a unified chat CRM. The idea is to bring customer conversations from different channels into one place and help businesses keep track of contacts and follow-ups.
When we started doing link outreach we expected radio silence. Instead site owners replied surprisingly fast, and pitch prices were a fraction of what middleman marketplaces charge.
The unexpected issue was operational handling hundreds of active email conversations, confirming live mentions and tracking terms completely overwhelmed our workflow. The hard part wasn't getting the reply it was managing the inbox traffic afterwards.
i try a lot of AI products and my honest hit rate is low. most of what i install is gone inside a week, and usually not because it was bad. it just never turned into a habit.
the few that stuck have almost nothing in common on paper. the only thread i can find is that they took away a step i was already doing, instead of adding a step i probably should be doing. the ones that asked me to build a new routine all died.
If I were a Member of the European Parliament, I would ask one question before supporting any new technology policy:
If a government outside Europe restricted our access to frontier AI tomorrow, how much of our technological future would still be under European control?
I created /services/ai-copilot-development on 5 July. Google crawled it for the first time on 31 August. Fifty seven days.
Nothing was wrong with it. It returns 200 with a title tag. It sits in sitemap-0.xml. robots.txt allows everything except /studio, /api and /preview-mode. It is linked from the site navbar, the footer and eight sibling service pages, so ten files point at it.
PH builders: what are key lessons you ve learned whether technical or product or GTM from building agents? This is still such a new discipline that it would be great to share amongst this community of builders.
I ll kick off with an experience that had us scratching our heads for months last year
Does anyone have incubation experience? I have been selected for SMU BIG incubation August 2026 cohort. The incubation period is for 4 months where they would closely mentor and help in securing funding as well. Just want to know from others who have had similar experience in any incubation? How did it help your startup and what were your takeaways?
I got a message from a user last week that started with the words "I know this is not a normal request." They wanted to use my product for something completely outside its intended purpose. Not a bug, not a feature request, just a different problem that my tool happened to solve.
I almost replied with the polite version of no. Instead I asked why. And their answer described a whole category of people I had never considered, with a need I had never designed for.
