2023 was the year of chat UX powered by generative AI. That led to me hacking on ChatSpot and launching it last year. 2024 is the year of Agent AI, so that's what I've been hacking away late nights on. I'm obsessed with #AgentAI. Was up past 3am last night. I have a handful…
Thanks to all those that have been helping test my Domain Value Estimation tool (domainvalue .com). Just posted a major new update. Uses more data has more heuristics and some reasonability checks. If you get a chance to try it, please let me know what you think of the results.
We have revamped the documentation of modelcontextprotocol.io. There is still a lot to improve and PRs are most welcome, but I think it's a good step into the right direction. Let me know what you think!
Yes. But remember: the algorithm owns you. I received 50M+ views in 3 months (100% organic) and now the platform has massively reduced my reach. I am still holding up (organically). The play is what @dharmesh has always done. Build a community around your mission.
Also, if you are not a technical founder, you do need a technical cofounder.
If you are a technical founder, you do not need a non-technical cofounder.

Thoroughly enjoyed this @dharmesh @myfirstmilpod open.spotify.com/episode/1DrzKr…
Have been learning a ton about how LLMs work in real life when implementing a set of heuristics to calculate something and using a coding agent to do so. My use case is determining the estimated value of a website domain. Here's the (free) agent I'm working on: DomainValue .com…
This really resonated with me. If you spend all of your time extending your life, when do you actually live it?
My wife just compared all this tech-adjacent extreme longevity focus in men to anorexia in women. A physical manifestation of anxiety and lack of control. And now I can't get the thought out of my head. Spot on.
Oh boy, there is something sweet when customer usage got 1k to 40k in <30 days. Expansion all the way, AI Agent market feels very much like Data Lakes early days.
Apologies to those using my DomainValue .com tool. This weeks update seems to be going astray a lot in the valuation estimation algorithm and providing estimates that are far off what would be considered "reasonable". Working on it today and will have a fix out. Might…
I think you folks missed an opportunity to call it Gemini 2.5 Flashier. Having said that, look forward to playing with the new model. I increasingly come across use cases where smaller/lighter/faster models make more sense. I think there will be a day where most of us don't…
Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite, our fastest and most cost effective model, is now stable and ready for scaled production use!! It comes with native reasoning capabilities, a 1 million token context window, and is priced at ($0.10 in / 1M) and ($0.40 out / 1M).
Corollary: If you are lazy and don't like doing things yourself, then be ready for them not to be done right.
If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. Especially when choosing produce.
Could not agree more. Of all the cheat codes to life and business I've learned, "thinking in public" is way up there.
Congrats to the team. Still wear my Bee every day.
congrats to Bee on getting picked up by Amazon; similar to Blink, Ring, Eero and ofc the new Claude + Nova + Alexa i think @panos_panay is putting together a pretty solid second act of amazon’s ai hardware strategy knew bee was winning when @dharmesh showed up to his…
Underrated advice: The worst mistakes in life are made when you try to do fast what’s meant to be done slow. Real, durable things take a long time to build. Careers. Businesses. Relationships. Health. There are no hacks or shortcuts. The long way is the right way.
