Big yes to this idea — the challenge isn’t just getting seen, it’s getting seen by the right people.We’ve been working on something similar in ops — auto-triaging email based on context + intent — and it’s wild how much trust you can build by showing up when it actually matters.One thought: what if PH notifications like this were triggered by activity (e.g. someone viewed a similar product in...

I’ve been loving Superhuman again lately. Not just for speed — it’s the subtle touches. The way it turns inbox chaos into something I can actually manage (for at least 20 mins a day 😅).Also a big fan of Readwise Reader — turned my chaotic tab hoarding into a calm little reading flow. Total brain declutter.Curious what everyone’s using to fight mental noise these days?

Love this thread — so many scrappy strategies here 👏For GoodGist, we’ve had the most traction from what I call “ops whispering” — dropping into niche Slack groups and sharing real lease ops horror stories (like the $18K penalty from one missed lease email 😬).Also did a few 1:1 outreach rounds with founders buried in inboxes. Instead of asking for feedback, I just asked: “What’s the last email...

One early user repurposed our email triage AI to track lease expiry risks.Not the original intent..but it turned out that missing just one buried lease email could trigger $18K in penalties. We started digging and realized there was an entire ops use case buried inside Gmail.Now it’s one of our core user personas. Never saw that coming.Love this thread — seeing your product used “wrong” might...

Ooof this one hits hard.We’ve seen teams get totally buried between Slack, Discord, emails, and 10+ tabs of chaos. It’s wild how fragmented comms have gotten.At GoodGist, we’ve been experimenting with an ops layer that auto-triages inbound messages (starting with leasing). Wondering if something similar could help with community threads too — esp for prioritizing high-signal convos.How do you...

Totally feel you on the dashboard sprawl. We saw the same issue with inboxes too — everyone drowning in data but starving for signal.One trick we found? Push only critical ops updates via a single, auto-curated daily digest. No dashboards to babysit.Curious what’s your ideal dashboard even look like? One chart? Or full cockpit?

Totally with you on this.. I think we’re shifting from “can you use AI?” to “what tasks should AI always handle for you?”That’s been our north star while building:→ What are the parts of work people shouldn’t have to manually manage anymore?For us, it’s things like email triage, follow-ups, meeting prep.Curious..if you had an assistant that could handle one daily task automatically, what would...

Not sure if it fits your flow, but one thing I’ve seen across orgs: tools still leave a ton of comms clutter behind.We’re building something that acts like an AI EA, handling inbox workflows like prep, follow-ups, thread routing ..the kind of stuff that keeps falling through cracks across tools.

This is an exciting space. I’m not building for dev workflows directly..but I think the parallel shift is happening in team workflows.We’re building an AI Executive Assistant that handles email triage, prep, and comms routing ..and we’re seeing similar questions come up:→ How much should AI guess?→ How much should it explain?→ How much agency do users want?Curious if you think dev tools will...

Totally get this take.. I’ve felt it too.But I think it’s less about AI making us “stupid” and more about how we use it.We're building an AI Executive Assistant ..not to do thinking for people, but to remove the noise so they can make better decisions, faster.It's not about replacing thought, it’s about clearing the clutter around it.Curious what kinds of AI interactions actually make you feel...

Love this thread.. we’re hearing something similar from teams where promo workflows still rely on a lot of internal back-and-forth.Not just scheduling posts..but things like follow-up threads, approvals, tracking replies across email + Slack, etc.We’ve been working on an AI Executive Assistant that’s more about automating internal communication workflows, especially around email.Curious if...

Email. Not because it’s bad..but because it asks too much of us.Teams are spending hours a week just figuring out what matters, what’s follow-up-worthy, what needs prep.We’re building an AI Executive Assistant that automates that layer..handling triage, follow-ups, meeting prep.. so orgs can stop pouring time into inbox management.Curious what tool you wish did more thinking for you?

Great question.. I think the real issue isn’t AI itself, it’s how it’s introduced.Some tools treat AI like a behind-the-scenes engine. But when you're building something like an Executive Assistant, the AI has to be present, visible, and trustworthy..because it’s handling communication workflows that people care about.We’re building an AI EA that automates things like email triage, follow-ups,...

Interesting convo. The time question is important, but I’ve noticed it’s less about hours and more about mental clutter.Most teams I talk to are losing hours every week not to “work".. but to organizing the work.That’s what we’re building around: clearing that layer with an AI EA that thinks ahead.Curious if anyone’s tracked how much time they spend just getting context?

We’re using a simple Notion-to-site flow for now (still in early access mode)..but curious what others are using that don’t feel bloated or dev-heavy.Clean messaging > flash, especially early on.

Tools like Linear/Asana help with execution, but I’ve seen a growing gap around communication-layer chaos..email, meetings, prep, context chasing.That’s what we’re focusing on with an AI EA: not just project tracking, but automating the prep work around projects.Curious if anyone’s felt that gap between PM tools and actual daily workflow?

Such a great question.. especially for fast-moving teams.What I’ve seen across orgs: delegation isn't just about headcount. It’s about mental bandwidth.We’re building an AI Executive Assistant that handles high-frequency, low-leverage tasks — like email routing, follow-ups, and meeting prep.. so your team doesn’t burn time on work that should’ve been delegated to systems long ago.Curious what...

I think the better framing is: “Are AI-powered actions reducing noise or adding to it?”We’ve been thinking about this through a different lens..using AI not to generate content, but to support teams with real context-driven workflows (email, prep, follow-up).There’s value in automation… when it actually removes noise.
