... Quick backstory: I'm building a SaaS and needed to find potential users on Reddit. But manually scrolling through subreddits looking for relevant threads? Absolute time sink.

... friendly but realistic. In voice AI, we compete with Vapi, Retell, Bland AI - but we also learn from them. They're solving similar problems, just different approaches. They focus on developers, we focus on actual SMBs and SAAS businesses as our end customer. The "fight to the death" approach only makes sense if you're in a zero-sum game. Most markets aren't. There are enough SMBs who need voice AI that multiple solutions can win. That said ... ...

... years, SaaS pricing revolved around seats. If you're adding more teammates then pay more. This was simple, predictable and scalable. But as products get more API-driven and AI-powered, usage is becoming the new unit of value. Instead of per seat, it s now per credit, per call, or per GB.

... been thinking about the tension between single-player mode and multiplayer mode in SaaS (especially in the days of LLMs & user context). On one hand, founders (myself included) often hear: Don t just build for one user, build for teams. That s where the revenue and moats are. On the other, some of the best products in recent years started by winning over individuals first and only later layering on team features. A great example is @Granola : They nailed ... ... scale, or is it a trap that slows you down from real adoption?

... Yesterday, we discussed how many times it is beneficial to launch on this platform . With each launch, there is a benefit of "exposing yourself". How you can make yourself visible after the launch is another crucial topic, because it can create a "buzz".
