"come back in january" is a dated follow-up and "wrong person" is a new contact, not a quiet row. lump them in with silence and a declined buyer lands back in the approval queue for a third email

You have the same 24 hours a day that Elon has You have the same 24 hours a day that Zuck has You have the same 24 hours a day that Jensen has They use the same AI tools you do, same apps, same internet. It's the greatest time ever to be building and it's not even close

both bots passed every check. my buyer list passes every check too, and it still ghosts me xitter.cf/hnshah/status/21107613…

I gave two Grok Bots the same job auditing hiten dot com. I wanted to know what might be costing registrations and what I should fix first. Both passed every check I set. But I wouldn't give them the same job. One found changes I could make to the homepage and schedule right away. The other was better suited to recurring technical checks. That's the kind of decision I've been spending a lot of time on this year. Figuring out which agents are useful and what work I'd actually trust them to handle. This Friday at 10 AM PT, I'm sharing what changed in Q3 and which jobs I'd now give AI. I'll draw from months of running and testing agents myself.

typing "k-beauty moisturizer, us importers" is easy. knowing who on that list still buys is not exporters, how do you check a buyer is still active before you write?

Liquidity is thin in startups It's entirely possible for you to have had a $400m acquisition offer last year and 0 offers today Or to close an oversubscribed rounds just a few months ago and have 0 VC interest today

when a buyer goes quiet after a decent first email, do you follow up once more or close the row?

i built ara to find overseas buyers and draft in their language. a human still hits send.

follow-up day 3. follow-up day 7. still blank. then you wonder if the list was wrong or the ask was.

finding the company name is the easy part. writing that first note in the buyer's language so it doesn't read like a template is what burns the week.

korean exporters keep a buyer list that looks busy on monday and quiet by friday. too many rows just sit on "sent".

i'm a nerdy founder who skipped the sales cofounder too. the agents left me on read xitter.cf/paulg/status/210965164…

Did office hours yesterday with a very smart but nerdy founder. When I suggested he might want a more outgoing cofounder to do sales, he said he didn't, because most of his sales would be to agents. I had to admit he could be right.

fast takeoff, slow uptake. somewhere in korea a trade office is still faxing a printed screenshot of an email xitter.cf/garrytan/status/210855…

The rate of progress in the labs is accelerating The rate of adoption of that progress in society is not It’s going to go both very fast on one end and it will feel slower than ever to those who understand AI because society has natural brakes Fast takeoff with slow uptake
