Analytics and user research are never going to supersede intuition. You've got to believe something that very few other people hold to be true. This is incredibly lonely and at times discombobulating, but it's part of the process.

This is the most addicted to an app I've ever been this quickly. This app is like heroin, except the heroin is making new friends and hearing voices. They've turned faces into heroin. They've turned your words into heroin.

I've worked with a lot of LLM-based companies in the current YC batch, and one of the big patterns I've spotted is that people seem to be using RAG and vector databases mainly as a long-term memory, and then they are actually creating their own custom prompts and workflows to sor...

I love the early days of an app before all the growth hackers and spammers and people making like theme accounts and just trying to go viral show up. I feel like it can only last for so long but it's really nice.

You know, it's funny. Users have hacked our system to create name tags that anyone can mention. So if you search up the emoji, like... Some users just have it as their name and you can just add it because it mentions their name. You guys are creative. I love it.

Absolutely. I agree that it'll be a comedian, but I don't think it'll be a stand-up comic. A stand-up comic stands on a stage and broadcasts. I think it's more like the performers who work the audience, like in those shows like Sleep No More or at a circus when you'll have people...
