Where does your AI keep everything you’ve told it? The 2am stuff. The passwords you typed while an agent was running. Your browsing history. Right now the answer is “on a server somewhere.” Agents are finally good enough to actually run your errands, and the price is that your whole life goes with them. We didn’t love that trade. So we built a computer your agents can live on, at home. Otto is a little box that sits on your desk. The agents are already on it when it arrives. You plug it in, tap your phone to it, and that’s the whole setup! Everything they read, type and remember stays in your house. - Agents set up before it ships, nothing to install
- 2,000+ apps with one tap, passwords stay on the box
- Thinks on the box, uses the cloud only if you tell it to
- Check in and approve things from your phone, anywhere.

> your parents bought a computer for the family > you bought one for yourself. > the next one you buy might be for your AI. it'll sit at home, keep working while you sleep, and check with you before it spends a cent. what a time to be alive.

We're watching personal computing change again. First we got computers we could use. Now we're getting computers that do the work themselves. The PC put a computer in every home. The phone put one in every pocket. The next one runs your agents while you get on with your day. It pays the bills, books the flight, and finds that file you lost two years ago. Agents need a machine that stays awake when you go to sleep. It lives in your home, keeps your stuff there, and checks with you before it spends a cent. This is the future of AI, and it's coming sooner than most people think.

We created a watchlist app with AI superpowers. If you still use the Apple stocks app, you should use Alpha: Betterwatchlist.com Let us tell you why🧵

SEM (Paid google search) 1⃣ Again, sounds like the key here is really just volume and determination.

Affiliates 1⃣ This was one that isn't mentioned a ton but worth calling special attention to. There are people who already have an audience you can partner with. You'll need a bit of negotiating chops but if you can unlock it it's one of the highest leverage channels

Notch from Minecraft is my daily reminder that regardless if you made enough money you should keep making things or you go crazy

Issues: Zero retention. Zero idea how to monetize Developments in AI (plugins, langchain, new bigger models) made the concept irrelevant by the time I got to market. People didn't care about optimizing token usage when bigger models were coming out. AI moved so fast!

Learning: build for pains not minor inconveniences People loved the concept, thought the ideas was unique, and even signed up But they didn’t come back, and they definitely weren’t gunna pay The pain wasn’t monetizeable Good run, time to move on and keep shipping ⚡️
