welcome back to monday! Pour yourself a fresh cup of bean juice because we're about to dive into a bunch of new products you really should know about. In today's digest, we got: a less annoying LinkedIn, podcasts but make them social, and a way to build AI workflows without balding.

Openspot is a modern alternative to traditional job platforms. Instead of stale resumes and awkward connection requests, it uses short videos, audio clips, and thoughtful prompts to help you show who you actually are—not just what you’ve done.

🔥 Our take: LinkedIn is great if you enjoy corporate jargon and clapping for promotions you don’t understand. Openspot feels more like a social layer for people figuring it out in public. Less curated flexing, more human signals. Whether that translates into better job matches or just better conversations, it’s a refreshing reset.

🔥 Our take: Podcasts have always felt personal, but never interactive. Cooler adds just enough social energy without turning it into noise. Less radio, more clubhouse, but

Prompteus is a no-code platform for building, deploying, and scaling AI workflows that don’t fall apart in production. It supports multi-LLM orchestration, adaptive caching, and built-in guardrails—making it easier to stay fast, compliant, and under budget.

🔥 Our take: Everyone wants AI in their stack, but no one wants to babysit brittle workflows. Prompteus is built for the in-between: the part after the prototype, before the rewrite. It won’t make your prompts better—but it’ll keep them from quietly draining your budget at 2am.

The Atono CEO, Troy McAlpin is doing an AMA on how building opinionated software on purpose might be the key to actually solving user problems. After scaling his last startup to $70M ARR, he’s got thoughts on what happens when you try to please everyone—and end up shipping nothing.

Ask him about product strategy, roadmap regret, or the exact moment he stopped building off every feature request. It’s all on the table.
