I'm back on @HubSpot's Marketing Against the Grain pod!
We compared my process for managing clients & running an agency in 2025 to what I'm using now. Literally two different worlds.
2025: using ChatGPT as a chatbox and thinking great prompts are the solution
2026: agentic systems running the business and holding all context about my clients
The massive model improvements allowed me to:
- 5x the agency in a year
- take on more clients than I thought was possible
- scale without having to hire anyone
I'll leave the episode in the comments (comment if you want the direct link to the .md file)
By far the stickiest product I've used this year.
How do you manage multiple clients' workflows? Type.com
How do you easily outsource tasks without training someone? Type.com
How do you switch between Claude/Codex easily? Type.com
How do you keep everything organized? Type.com
How @startupcookie, a one-person agency, took on 40% more clients without hiring.
Founder @brbbzzz moved her client work and agents into type.com and gave every client its own space.

The first AI model built specifically for design. Congrats to the team on the launch! @anurahk @DavidZats 👏
I launched the first image and video generation models at Google, and kept asking why all AI designs look the same.
AI has brought us the WORST era of design.
It made content creation effortless, but it also made 90% of it look painfully generic.
My co-founder and I spent 2 years building in stealth to change that.
Meet Vyb, the first AI design model that understands your taste like a designer would.
RT + comment your website URL and we’ll make your first design.
When a founder asks me for "storytelling", it usually means they’re still figuring out what the product is.
Storytelling gets asked to do the work of clarity, which is a lot to ask of a story.
Can’t narrate your way around not knowing what you’re building.
been looking forward to the death of products like 1Password and others for a long time now.
You can now import your passwords from Chrome, save individual passwords, or use a shared team vault like 1Password.
That means type.com can log in to websites and get work done without you!
the joy of using products that are early enough you have direct access to the founder and everyone building it >>>>>>>>>
this is incredible @fletchrichman @typedotcom
this product is the reason I don't need grok bot
Today we're officially launching @typedotcom, the shared space for your team's best AI work.
Teams need a central place to build apps, skills and automations together. Not swarms of agents.
Our ambition with Type is to be the last piece of software your team will ever need.
To build this, we've raised $4m from @LererHippeau, @haystackvc, @MatchstickVC, and angels from Slack, Github, and Ramp.
So what does Type do?
→ share work from Claude chats into a collaborative space
→ switch harness or model any time
→ manage integrations with granular permissions
→ a central place to deploy apps and automations together
→ build a self-learning company brain
→ use your existing Claude or ChatGPT subscription
Companies like @rayconglobal, @Intelligems and @trueclassictees are already running tens of thousands of successful agent jobs that forecast revenue, manage inventory, answer support tickets, and a lot more.
We're blown away every day at the custom tools and automations our customers are building.
What's something you haven't yet been able to solve or automate in your business? Tell us in the comments and we'll respond by building it for you in Type!
