You ship a useful app. Then nobody can find it, not on Google and not in AI search. That's why I built UsefulShelf: a jev reviewed directory where every app gets its own page with clear details, structured data and a direct link to your site. Free to list. Link below.

No more AI SI It’s better

This is my thesis: no one uses AI. I repeat, absolutely no one. We live in a bubble. Even among my friends who pay for it, when I ask them to open ChatGPT and show me their queries, it’s the same handful of basic things. Most don’t even know they can upload a photo and ask questions about it. Connecting Gmail so an agent can read and send emails blows their minds. An agent opening a browser and checking them into a flight? They’ve never even heard of it. The massive challenge right now is adoption, and then getting people who already signed up to actually use what they’re paying for. Most have absolutely zero clue what’s possible. Imagine the compute shortage when everyone starts using AI like the top 1% of users do today.

most founders submit their site to Google and stop there. that might be a mistake. one of the things that helped grow Screenshot Studio to 28k+ monthly visitors was making sure Bing could actually find it. why? because search isn’t only happening on Google anymore. AI chatbots need to find + cite your product too. I wrote about this + the full organic growth loop I’m using. first issue of my new newsletter ↓ building products? you’ll probably like this one.

Google just led a $20m round into a complete rip-off of my startup, Fastlane. (skip to 55 seconds to skip context) This isn’t something I’d normally talk about, but a line has been crossed. This disgusting and egregious behavior honestly makes me sick. Fortunately, there is nothing anyone could do to stop us from winning. Especially not some unimaginative NPC’s. Good luck fellas.
