CEO Friend: Is cold outreach working for you guys? Me: It wasn't until mid-November. CEO Friend: What? How? Ours dried up. Me: We closed 50 customers from cold email over the past 60 days. CEO Friend: TELL ME HOW Me: I will. Tomorrow on Unf*ck My Startup LIVE, we’re joined by Matthew Tharp (CEO of Hunter) who has spent two decades building PLG engines and is now leading the charge on how to do cold outreach with "credible specificity" for sellers at companies like Google and Microsoft. Matthew is going to break down the exact shift from spray-and-pray to high-intent "Answer" signals. We’re going deep on: - Why micro-lists of under 50 recipients generate 3x higher reply rates than bulk sends, and how to build them. - How to write a first line that proves you actually understand the prospect's industry in one sentence—without using "scraped trivia." - How to use AI for deep research and summarization while ensuring your final copy remains unmistakably human. - Why the most effective 2026 buying journey starts with an email, followed by a strategic LinkedIn "courtesy" touch -- and how to automate the whole thing. - How to score your own outbound on a scale of 1–5 to ensure you only hit "send" on emails that provide genuine value. If you’re tired of being ignored and ready to build a high-velocity pipeline that actually respects the recipient, this session is for you. Join here here: https://lnkd.in/gs-Yyc4p Tuesday @ 3pm ET

The most valuable signals are invisible. Most leaders are still optimizing for yesterday's. We're not in one economy anymore. We're in at least 10 at once. These are behavioral ecosystems. Basically invisible overlays intersecting with your brand, culture, innovation pipeline, talent...
Now that you can raise a 9-figure round pre-product, there's a non-zero chance we see a Super Bowl ad for pre-revenue AI company this year.

OpenArt AI just reached $70M ARR with only 20 employees and reached #5 on the Lean AI Leaderboard 🔥 And it’s another data point that the Lean AI curve isn’t slowing down, it’s accelerating. Here’s why this one matters: • $70M ARR • 8M...
Good morning. Soon designers won’t need to prompt much at all. Love how fast Lovart adds new things. Like entire workflows with a click.

“No-code AI agents” doesn’t mean no thinking — it means thinking at the right level. This framework is useful because it shows that building agents without coding is really about orchestration, not shortcuts. Key takeaways for leaders and builders 👇 1️⃣ Purpose first,...

Our AI bill just hit $50K in a single month. This is what building with agents actually looks like. Support. Sales. Onboarding. Product. Every part of the business now runs on intelligence - and intelligence isn't free. Not gonna lie, this number still...

You've heard of Vibe Coding. But now Vibe Marketing is here better than ever. We're rolling out a v2 of our most popular feature for Instant where our AI will create an entire Lead Magnet, Landing Page and Middle-of-Funnel Content (that passes...

Thought leadership should be a sales tool, feed search results, and build authority. That's a lot. But what if AI could help you surface and scale that internal expertise? By pairing AI tools with intentional workflows, you can capture unique insights from...

Are you a business person using Claude Code or Claude Cowork? Cool, grab my lazy hack. Rant, rant, rant, and rant some more. Describe your day. Describe your blockers. Share what you've tried. Give your criteria. Rattle off your resources. Then ask AI...
My most productive AI workflow is literally just complaining to Claude for 3 paragraphs then typing "help me fix this plz." 👉 Rant about your day and ask for help prioritizing. 👉 Rant about a project and ask for blindspots. 👉 Rant about...
Feels like the first year where AI is going to autonomously handle a lot of people's taxes. Either OpenClaw or Claude Cowork pointed at a folder of business docs, quickbooks reports, bank statements, docusign downloads, emails with accountant.
I spent 14 hours this weekend building with @openclaw. It did NOT disappoint. Those who say it’s overhyped are either scared, lazy, or both. Yes, there are security concerns to work around but like anything, there are tradeoffs. As long as you have...
Not just talks. At SaaStr AI 2026, we're running 100s of hands-on workshops where you'll build actual AI workflows for your company. Sales. CS. Product. Ops. Leave with something you can deploy Monday. May 12-14. SF Bay. https://t.co/IsMOos9H4H

given that gpt-4 (June 2023) had function calling and tried to escape its own VM by hacking it i'd guess that's when something like clawdbot would've been possible to release by the labs
Our Teslas have far more AI inferencing power than a Mac Mini. Mine is sitting in my garage right now unused. Another in the driveway. I dream of a day when I can run @openclaw (or a competitor) on them. Along these...

You're probably already using AI agents without realizing they're making decisions you can't trace back. And if something goes wrong, you won't know until it's too late. AI agents aren't chatbots waiting for prompts. They set goals, plan multiple steps ahead, and take...

The annoying part about being able to build ANY interface at the drop of a hat with Claude Code is that… You want to pull your hair out when a website’s design doesn’t serve you. Pinterest: why aren’t ads pinnable? Why...
After hearing @steipete's story more, I think what made Clawdbot hit all the right notes was him making it for himself. It's not "productized". There were no "product trade-offs" or "table stakes". He just made it to solve his own problem...
Outbound is broken. Cold email is dying. The B2B companies winning right now have completely rebuilt their GTM around AI. At SaaStr AI 2026, they're showing you exactly how. May 12-14. SF Bay. https://t.co/K2JIAOSqol

This is what folks miss in AI CX. Even if the AI can’t resolve a complex issue, folks still love a great agent that is well trained. It can at least get a resolution kicked off, almost instantly.

Yep. AEO/GEO/SEO/WWJD/IMO/YOLO... AI search is important and there is no better team in the game than Docebo. Last year, Kyle Poyar interviewed Silvia Valencia and Valeriia Frolova about how to actually think about AI search, and I believe it's still a...
Early lesson for the AI age. When electricity arrived, factories didn’t get smarter by swapping engines. They only unlocked real gains after redesigning how work actually flowed. AI agents are the same. Dropping them into old org charts won’t work. The real...

Something funny happened during our recent AI training at NYPL. We had ~30 professionals in the room. Developers, IT folks, managers. Different stacks. Different backgrounds.

I won't be shocked if, within days, the AI agents running on @OpenClaw develop their own event, find their own venue, pay for it, and invite the humans that they want to it.
Yes, Moltbook (by clawdbot) is still next-token prediction combined with some looping, orchestration, and recursion. And that is exactly what makes this so fascinating. (It is also why understanding how LLMs actually work really does pay off. Lets us see through the...
