Why is this still the way it works?
Why am I paying $500 or even $1,000 for a list that s just a bunch of freakiing namesss. No context. No relevance. No data. No meat. Just names, dead numbers, and even deader emails.
Then I m supposed to spend a week, maybe two weeks, calling through this list just to try to make one sale?
That makes no sense.
Apollo. Lusha. Vibe prospecting.
What do they do? They give you a list.
It s not anything that s actually worthwhile. It s literally a name on a piece of paper and you can maybe call and hope they pick up.
And why do I have to talk to 10,000 people to find the freaking 100 buyers in that 10,000?
Why isn t there an AI that can just go out and find the people who want what I want to sell and then I just go talk to them?
That s what we re launching with @kwAI
We re trying to be the end of big lead lists.
kwAI finds people who want to buy what you want to sell. That s it. Then you go do the human part and actually talk to them.
If this is something you re about, we d love your honest feedback. Like for real.
What do you think? Are we onto something or am I just pissed off for no reason??

Hi everyone,

Firenation.tech is a comprehensive tool to help you track your net worth, expenses, manage your budget with the 50/30/20 rule, and plan for early retirement.
To thank the Product Hunt community, the first 50 users
can use the code Producthunt26 to get a free lifetime premium subscription, so be fast!
Enjoy your finances for once!

Over the past few days I ve been shipping critical improvements to Okiela s payment flow via Polar (built on Stripe), so that early users can upgrade from Free Pro ($29/mo) smoothly and I can finally see real, healthy cashflow.

The backend and Polar integration are stable, but since Feb 27 (VN time) several frontend deploys to Vercel have failed. That means a lot of UX and billing fixes are merged in code, but not yet live.

As a non technical founder, this is a humbling reminder: infrastructure and deployment health are just as important as unit economics and LTV:CAC.

Most of us already think out loud.

While walking, driving, shower thoughts. Voice memos everywhere.

The problem isn t capturing thoughts. It s processing them.

As a founder, your personal brand is part of your product's credibility.

Investors check your LinkedIn before taking calls, early users want to know who's building this, and other founders want to see if you're worth connecting with.

After years of freelancing I noticed the ones who never dealt with late payments or scope creep weren't tougher negotiators. They just structured their projects differently.

Here's what that looks like in practice.

Break the project into stages with a price per stage

Instead of one big scope and one final invoice, divide the work into phases. Each phase has defined deliverables and a cost attached. The client knows what they're getting at each step before anything starts. Most scope creep lives in the ambiguity this removes.

It's a proven fact that none of the AI systems breaks overnight; They decay. They fade, shift, and degrade quietly.
Stanford found GPT-4 accuracy on basic reasoning tasks dropped 97.6% -> 2.4% between March and June:

https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.09009
variA/Bly has evaluated across 10+ workflows, and the same pattern appears:
Accuracy drifts (almost 15 40%), prompts regress, RAG relevance drops, and costs fluctuate (20 50%).
The real truth:
The fact is that AI systems are inherently indeterministic, and hence the drift is natural.
The real business risk is that most of the business owners aren t measuring it.
Recently, we launched a 30-day "AI Drift & Accuracy Pilot" to help teams see how their workflows change week to week.
If you want your drift map, happy to share.
