In the last episode I told you I'd hit a wall building an AI product in 100 days. This is what happened after I asked for help.
So many of you replied, and a handful of those replies changed how I build. One pointed me to Matt Pocock's skills on GitHub, which exposed an embarrassing habit: session after session I'd been telling Claude "ship it" and assuming the change went live. It didn't.
Others told me I was trying to boil the ocean. So the PLG analyzer now finds one opportunity worth your week instead of three, and a judge agent decides what matters most rather than a formula weighing everything the same. My own rating went from a 4 out of 10 to a 6.
Next up is cost and speed. A free assessment still costs 40 to 60 cents and takes about two minutes, and I want it under 60 seconds.
I close on something that has little to do with the build: using AI to write without ending up sounding 80% like yourself.
