Cool to see @golfweek and @usatodaysports put together this recap from Tech Lab. Building a startup means most days are spent heads down building. Fun to step out for a few days, share what you’re working on, and hear what others are building. Happy @banteegolf got to be part of it. golfweek.usatoday.com/videos…

Minted New York is one of the fastest-growing sneaker and athleticwear brands on the internet. Founder @MarcusMilione was on the show today. His recent sneaker collab with Saucony sold out in just 5 minutes. To fight against bots, Marcus created fake product listings that made sneaker bots try to buy shoes weighing 10,000 pounds, breaking checkout for the bots while real customers got through. Here's the full interview: – Marcus' content strategy early in his career – How Minted New York hit its quit-your-job revenue goal in five minutes on a drop – Betting the farm on every sneaker drop – The first major Christmas release made Minted feel like a real business – Minted x Saucony partnership – Staying bootstrapped in year five and building Minted slowly on a strong foundation – Minted is 99.5% organic and does very little advertising – How Marcus beat sneaker bots for Minted's recent drop

I wouldn't have guessed this a few months ago, but it seems very possible that you might actually end up with agents that just use repurposed software that was originally built for humans. For example, we're investing a lot in making our AI chatbot better (shoutout Kodif), and we will continue to do so, but I'm also now wondering if we might get to a point where we just plug in agents that we assign credentials to so they can operate inside of our Gorgias instance? (Or vice versa) I'm still very bullish on CLI and API powered architectures, but Browser/Computer-Use AI is getting so much better, and tools like @TaskletAI and @heyclicky are moving so fast, that I wouldn't be surprised if this motion ends up winning out in certain niches.
Here's the new Clicky. It's the simplest interface in the world to talk to AI spawn agents. It builds Mac apps. It does research to help you find IG micro-influencers. It interacts with native Apple Notes, Calendar, Reminders. Built for consumers, 0 setup. Try today, free.

I'm gonna say it: As it stands today, @cursor_ai is the best agentic coding tool out there. No jumping between terminal and editor, nice UI and you don't have to switch the tool if there's a new model. change my mind.

Been playing with the round card in @banteegolf Same info, just reworked the UI. Feels cleaner and less boxy. Before vs after. Curious if this hits or if the old design wins?

Been playing around with some new ad copy for @banteegolf. “It’s all in the wrist.” Leaning into the watch app. Something about it just feels right.
