... very expensive way of functioning at work, especially when unpaid travel is a waste of time and money. So I am pretty lucky to be remote because I can dedicate time to work instead of travelling and am more focused. Comment from Nika(@busmark_w_nika): @borja_diazroig  What setup do you mean?

... been thinking about how a lot of learning and productivity tools assume the user is already well, focused. But what about the rest of us? The ones who start with good intentions but end up with 12 tabs, brain fog, missed timestamps, and a memory like a sieve? I wasn t a lazy student.

Our product no longer feels like a huge pile of features. But that also means our old ways of working don t work anymore ... ... better to get something in the hands of customers quickly and start learning.

It is a (WIP) launch and discovery platform designed specifically for the new wave of digital innovation in Latin America.

... Designing a product is one thing. Getting people to actually use it is another. We ve focused on simplifying the setup so much that businesses can just scan a QR or paste a script and their assistant is live and working. No UI walkthroughs. No complicated configuration. Just logic that adapts based on what the user writes. Still improving, but so far less effort = more adoption. Would love to hear how others balance power vs
