We shipped it. Halo is your AI assistant, embedded directly on your website. Customers ask questions. Halo answers. They book appointments. Halo handles it. One script tag, 5 minutes, done.
I've built my product around traditional SaaS pricing (monthly tiers), but I m starting to wonder if that model is getting outdated, especially with more AI-powered and compute-heavy tools entering the market. That shift requires real architectural changes, instrumentation, metering, billing logic, and UI changes, not just pricing tweaks. It s something I m starting to seriously think about for my own product.
In particular, AI usage has real COGs (every prompt costs money), and I m seeing more platforms experimenting with usage-based models, or hybrids like SaaS base + usage + overage.
For those of you building AI or compute-intensive tools:
This is something I ll find out in just a short while, one week from now (Jan 28), as I m about to re-launch a digital detox app. If you want, follow, maybe you will be on watch of my steps and activities
Since I haven't been able to meet my work goals very well in the last few quarters, I now plan to approach them more systematically and not push myself too hard on work goals, as that ultimately led to problems that made my plan less sustainable.
Ever noticed how AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini default to copying text in Markdown format? It's not a bug, it's a feature! And it's because Markdown is essentially the native language of Large Language Models (LLMs).
Why Markdown?
Markdown is a lightweight markup language that's super easy to read and write. It makes formatting text simple, whether you're making headings, bolding text, or creating lists, all without complex HTML.
@cerwindcharlie and I recently did an interview for the Stripe Developers channel (500k+ subs!) and shared stories we ve never talked about before on Pretty Prompt:
Behind the scenes on the Techstack of Pretty Prompt
Sometimes the aha moment isn t a dashboard it s TikTok videos
Growth can literally get you kicked out of Slack
I didn't know you can get locked out of your Slack workspace if you hit a rate limit on the amount of notifications... (We hit the limit because too many users were signing up!)
I'm Erez, and I'm ridiculously excited to finally share RevOps Pulse with you all!
The Problem I Was Sick Of:
As a SaaS founder, I was drowning in spreadsheets. Every month, I'd spend hours exporting CSVs from Stripe, building pivot tables, and trying to figure out basic questions like "What's my REAL MRR?" or "Which customers are at risk of churning?"
I m excited to introduce Mood Journal, a web app designed to help you track, understand, and improve your mental wellness.
Why I built it
Journaling is powerful but it s often inconsistent, messy, and hard to revisit. I wanted something simple and insightful: a tool that not only captures moods, but actually helps make sense of them.
I'm Aloke, Engineer #1 at Warp and lead eng on Warp's new coding features.
We're all in on agentic coding at Warp, but we also recognize that even the best agents need some human guidance. We just launched a suite of new features to help you closely iterate with agents code review panel, file editor, file tree, slash commands, WARP.md (or use your existing agent.md file).
We are just a few weeks away from launching and we re feeling all the things: excited, nervous, and incredibly grateful.
Our early users have given us fantastic feedback, and now we d love to hear from you - whether you are a designer, product manager, founder, or anyone building something awesome.
AI coding is pretty mindblowing but sometimes it's a headache built on a mountain of bugs. Usually that comes down to issues with how you prompt. So, with that in mind, I'm starting a crowdsourcing discussion so we can all improve our prompts and in turn our apps.
Share the exact prompts that turn blank AI requests into real world code. Show us how you go from generate a REST API to a deployable service in just a few steps.
