10 Reasons Selling AI Tools to Developers is Challenging
Nowadays, everyone (including me) wants to sell AI-powered tools, platforms, or products. Few people (including me 6 months ago) have any idea how hard it is to approach and convince technical people for at least 10 reasons: 1 - They're constantly bombarded with messages. 2 - Everyone sells everything, so supply >>> demand. 3 - Extremely high background noise. 4 - They see an AI-generated message from 10km away (they've trolled me several times). 5 - If they have to go through a demo to try the product, they've already closed the tab. 6 - The opinions of devs, who value any glossy slide, count much more. 7 - Product trials are unforgiving; it's like being in court accused of 16 murders. If they find bugs or poor performance at that point, for them the product is broken and the window closes. 8 - They always have a plan B: I'll make it myself. Only 9 - If you don't have a solid track record (or you studied biotech like me), everything is 10x harder. 10 - Like the MasterChef judges, who used to be just chefs and now are atomic hotties, today's CTOs and top devs are stars; literally everyone wants them. It seems easier to scale a dev tool today because there are infinite tools, but in reality it's really tough. On the one hand, you have to earn the trust of technical teams through intros, messages, calls, and events; on the other, you have to scale at the speed of light because you're only six months old. Advice, ideas, scathing comments, insults? Anything goes. \*Not true
AI Impact on Jobs: Freelancers and Marketers Share Experiences
So, I was scrolling through Linkedin and saw this post & felt really really bad for this dude.....so just wanted to take an opinion. Has your job been impacted by AI yet? I handle marketing at a saas brand and I believe since I keep myself updated with AI, my job is not at risk as of now, but who knows what could happen at any moment in this uncertain world🤷
AI Skill Files: Warm Starts for Claude and Gemini Sessions
One thing that frustrates me about most AI workflows is the cold start problem. Every new session you re-explain your business, your voice, your clients. I started solving this with skill files. A skill file is a markdown document you upload to a Claude Project or paste into a Gemini Gem. It holds your context permanently so you never re-explain anything. The three I use most: brand-voice.md: defines tone, writing rules, and platform-specific formatting client-router.md: when you say a client name, Claude loads their full project context automatically seo-aeo-audit-checklist.md: structured audit that scores any website out of 100 across 7 sections including AI search visibility Anyone else using a similar system? Curious what context you keep persistent across sessions.

AI Tool Locus: Autonomous Business Operations
This sub has seen enough "AI can now do X" posts to have a finely tuned radar for what's real and what's a demo that falls apart the moment someone actually uses it. So I'll skip the hype and just tell you what we built and where the edges are. The core problem we were solving wasn't any individual capability. Generating copy is solved. Building websites is solved. Running ads is mostly solved. The unsolved problem was coherent autonomous decision making across all of those systems simultaneously without a human acting as the integration layer between them. That's what we spent most of our time on. Locus Founder takes someone from idea to fully operational business without them touching a single tool. The system scopes the business, builds the infrastructure, sources products, writes conversion optimized copy, and then runs paid acquisition across Google, Facebook and Instagram autonomously. Continuously. Not as a one time setup but as an ongoing operation that monitors performance and adjusts without being told to. The honest version of where AI actually performs well in this system and where it doesn't: It's genuinely good at the build layer. Storefront generation, copy, pricing structure, initial ad creative, coherent and fast in a way that would have been impossible two years ago. The operations layer is more complicated. Autonomous ad optimization works well within normal parameters. The judgment calls that fall outside those parameters, unusual market conditions, supplier issues, platform policy edge cases, are still the places where the system makes decisions a human would immediately recognize as wrong. That gap between capability and judgment is the most interesting unsolved problem in what we're building and probably in the agent space generally right now. We got into YCombinator this year. Opening 100 free beta spots this week before public launch. Free to use, you keep everything you make. For people in this sub specifically, less interested in the "wow AI can do that" reaction and more interested in people who want to actually stress test where the judgment breaks down. Beta form: [https://forms.gle/nW7CGN1PNBHgqrBb8](https://forms.gle/nW7CGN1PNBHgqrBb8) Where do you think autonomous business judgment actually gets solved and what does that look like?
Agent-to-Agent Communication: Lessons from Google's and Moltbook's Fai
I've been obsessing over agent-to-agent communication for weeks. Here's what public case studies reveal and why the real problem isn't the tech. **TL;DR:** Google's A2A is solid engineering but stateless agents forget everything. Moltbook went viral then collapsed (fake agents, security nightmare). The actual missing layer is identity + privacy + mixed human-AI messaging. Nobody's built it right yet. **Google's A2A: Technically solid, fundamentally limited** Google launched A2A in April 2025 with 50+ founding partners. The promise: agents from different companies call each other's APIs to complete workflows. Developers who tested it found it works but only for task handoffs. One analysis on Plain English put it bluntly: *"A2A is competent engineering wrapped in overblown marketing."* The core problem: agents are stateless. Agent A completes a task with Agent B. Five minutes later, Agent A has no memory that conversation happened. Every interaction starts from scratch. When it works: reliability. Sales agent orders a laptop, done. When it breaks: collaboration. "Remember what we discussed?" Blank stare. ─── **Moltbook: The viral disaster** Moltbook launched January 2026 as a Reddit-style platform for AI agents. Within a week: 1.5 million agents, 140,000 posts, Elon Musk calling it *"the very early stages of the singularity."* Then WIRED infiltrated it. A journalist registered as a human pretending to be an AI in under 5 minutes. Karpathy who initially called it *"the most incredible sci-fi takeoff-adjacent thing I've seen recently"* reversed course and called it *"a computer security nightmare."* What went wrong: no verification, no encryption, rampant scams and prompt injection attacks. Meta acquired it March 2026. Likely for the user base, not the tech. **What both miss** The real gap isn't APIs or social feeds. It's three things neither solved: **Persistent identity.** Agents need to be recognizable across sessions, not reset on every interaction. **Privacy.** You wouldn't let Google read your DMs. Why would you let OpenAI read your agents' discussions about your startup strategy? E2E encryption has to be built in, not bolted on. **Mixed human-AI communication.** You, two teammates, three AIs in one group chat. Nobody has built this UX properly. **For those building agent systems:** • How are you handling persistent identity across sessions? • Has anyone solved context sharing between agents without conflicts? • What broke that you didn't expect?
