Growth comes from loops, not funnels.

Most products obsess over user acquisition.

More traffic. Better conversion rates.

Turns out, growth often comes from something much simpler.

Moments. Retention. Care.

23 apps before lunch and I still didn't finish my main task

Hey PH community, I counted yesterday. 23 different apps before noon. Slack, Notion, ChatGPT, Figma, Google Sheets, email, Trello... and about 15 Chrome tabs I never closed from yesterday. By lunch I was exhausted and my actual work was still sitting there unfinished. The thing is, we all do this. We've normalized digital whack-a-mole. We have AI that can generate images and write code in seconds. But somehow we're still the ones doing all the clicking and switching. The AI just sits in a chat window waiting for us to feed it context. That felt backwards. So we built HappyCapy basically a computer where the AI can actually DO stuff, not just tell you what to do. Generate images, edit docs, crunch numbers, build sites. Whatever. You just describe what you need and it handles the tool-hopping. We're not replacing your main computer. But for a lot of tasks, it's way faster to just delegate to an agent that gets it done. It's live now. Still rough in places. But if you're tired of being an unpaid assistant to your own AI assistant, it might click. Curious: how many apps are you juggling right now? What's driving you most crazy about it?

Skill Store: Skills are the new software

"I just watched seven AI experts argue about my blog post for 3 minutes straight."

Marketing guy said it was too technical. Accessibility auditor flagged the contrast. Editor caught a logic hole I missed.
