In times of technological acceleration, planning based solely on what’s possible today limits potential. Instead, set a bold vision and iterate relentlessly toward it. Our vision is to make websites more relevant, timely, and deeply connected to their communities—while remaining memorable and unique. Autonomous Websites are the transformative technology that will make this a reality. We’re already making strides on this journey, delivering innovations that pave the way. Within the next 4-5 years, we’re committed to fully realizing this vision.

This applies to customers too and to investors and employees. Build a community that cares about the same message and they will tell you what to build next - and where you're wrong. They'll grow the thing with you because they're invested in the same direction.

If you build community around a solution, people stay as long as the solution. If you build community around the direction, the problem and the bet, you get people who help you figure out what's next. The right brains will gather around the problem, only then can it be solved.

I find it funny that they called the company Clay. If you think about it, clay is one of the best metaphors for what AI is doing.

Whose hands and what shape? The sculptor isn't valuable because they touch the clay but because they've mastered it, they know what to remove and what shape to pursue. When to stop, what not to make.

I don't know if that's what the founders had in mind when they named the company, but it's a better metaphor than most.
