30 yrs ago, I stood in front of the Eiffel Tower as a wide-eyed kid. Today - launching the Ultraviolette F77, India’s 1st performance electric motorcycle. Built from scratch. By us. A dream, made real. If you’re building something bold: keep going. It’s worth it. #startupindia#

💸 The Neo Geo Pocket a handheld with potential, but unfortunate timing. Launched by SNK, the console entered a market already dominated by Nintendo and couldn’t keep up with the massive success of Pokémon. #BusinessLessons# #StartupInsights# #Nimblechapps# #ProductStrategy#

GPT-6 Astra makes 2 kinds of businesses MUCH easier to start: outsourced work turned into software, and physical product businesses that used to require $2M to in upfront capital to start 2 years ago. The magic is that Astra can move across the messy middle: browser, codebase, docs, Blender, parts lists, suppliers, PRs. On today’s @startupideaspod, @rasmic shows how he took an AI HomePod idea to Raspberry Pi setup, Blender layout, shopping list, supplier path, and code changes in one session. Watch: Everyone on X is posting game demos, that's cool but... I think we'll also see an EXPLOSION of physical product businesses: tiny hardware, niche ecommerce, custom gadgets, home lab projects, and creator merch with utility. Idea → mockup → parts list → supplier → cart → code → prototype. Pretty big deal.

NVIDIA just released a repo that scans AI agent skills for security risks BEFORE you run them, which matters more than people realize now that everyone's installing random tools, skills, and MCPs from GitHub. I break down that one AND 4 other GitHub repos trending over the last 30 days in this episode of @startupideaspod: 1. A skill that kills AI slop finally (better writing) 2. A CRM thats built for AI agents (so you can have agents follow up, reach out etc) 3. An agent that edits your videos for you (so you can focus on creative) 4. An opensource CapCut alternative built for agents (because editing is a headache) All free, all open source. Watch my breakdown of the 5 GitHub repos trending over the last 30 days below The tools people will be talking about in six months are on GitHub today. That's the fun part of digging through GitHub right now.

EVERYTHING you NEED to know about Jack Dorsey's AI agent "Slack killer" Buzz (set up, use-cases etc in 38 mins) What we get into: 1. What Buzz actually is and should founders switch from Slack? 2. How to swap the model under any agent and keep all your context? 3. How to talk to your agents live with audio huddles? 4. How to get agents to build and deploy real apps for you, like a full CRM from one ask? 5. How to set up the context loop that feeds your live app data back to your agents? 6. How to share compute so a few people split one machine running a local model? 7. Who it's actually for right now, and what's still rough? Full breakdown on the pod @startupideaspod. Thanks to @hot_town for jumping on and clearly explaining @jack and team's latest product. My TLDR take is Buzz is a glimpse into the future of work. Some of you will roll your eyes at that, and I get it, it's alpha software and it's slow in places. But the core idea, that your context is the foundation and agents build out from there, is right, and that's worth seeing early. Watch Curious what you think

If your whole workflow is one Claude Code instance on your MacBook, you're leaving 10x on the table. Here's why. On your laptop, running 2 agents at once means two copies of your code, and you're constantly fighting over which worktree you're on and whether everything's synced. It caps out fast. Cloud agents in VMs let you run as many as you want without worrying about any of that. Each one gets its own machine, so the work never collides. Spin up 10, let them all run, and nothing steps on anything else. Watch full ep below on @startupideaspod. Thanks to @ryancarson for sharing the sauce. Cloud agents are probably the future. So is doing half your work from your phone, which sounds insane until you try it once. Then you don't go back.

My friend Corey makes $1,000/hour doing the simplest AI business I've seen all year. Only 5% of businesses use AI beyond ChatGPT, the other 95% need you. He sits with a small business owner for 45 minutes, finds where they lose 5-10 hours a week, and prescribes off-the-shelf AI tools that fix it. He charges $999 for that assessment. He's a doctor writing prescriptions. The tools already exist. He just knows which ones. Everyone wins. 50% of his clients then hire him to implement it, and that's where the $1,000/hour work comes from. Corey came on the podcast @startupideaspod and gave away a full course for free. Like actually the full way you can copy his system and run it yourself on your own: - The exact offer (with a money-back guarantee that makes it a no-brainer) - The 4-phase system to deliver it - A template you can download and use today - 6 things to upsell after the assessment - 7 ways to get clients with zero audience and zero capital Even if you never start this exact business, watching @coreyganim break it down will get your brain working on your own productized AI service. That's the real reason to press play. Link: Or watch below (1hr course) Yeah, I know it's an hour. But if you're serious about startup ideas in the AI age right now, this is one of the most useful hours you'll spend all week. Corey holds nothing back. I love this era. A laptop, a few conversations, and a real business. Go get it.

Grok 4.5 might be the BEST model to run inside Hermes or OpenClaw RIGHT NOW. I've been sleeping on Grok to be honestNot anymore. It's more than 60% cheaper than Opus 4.8 and lands around $2.49 per task versus ~$12 for Fable in Claude Code. And it's fast. So what happens when you give Hermes + Grok 4.5 its own email, its own phone number, its own debit card, and access to every tool you use? You pretty much get an AI co-founder. Everything you need to know about Grok 4.5 + Hermes below. Full episode is available to watch at @startupideaspod ( thanks @nickvasiles for coming on) I slept on Grok. Not sleeping on it anymore.

If I was starting a new company today, I'd start an agent business. SaaS was a multi-billion dollar market. Agents are a multi-trillion dollar one. How to build I'd build an agent business from 0: Spot the niche → find a workflow with a paycheck → shadow the human → spec the agent → run it manually first → build the smallest useful version → sell the pilot like labor → productize the repeatable parts. Entire episode is live on @startupideaspod 100% free like always. SaaS sold software and let your team use it to get the job done. An agent business sells the job already done. That shift matters because labor is a multi-trillion dollar market, far bigger than software ever was. Watch

I’ve been playing with Gemini 4 Argon for 7 days — Google gave me early access and sponsored today’s episode. 10 Insights using Gemini 4 Argon (for people who want to make cool things with AI): 1. It's perhaps the best AI copywriter. Surprisingly. Using it as my default writer as of now. 2. I recreated a 3D version of our website pretty quickly. There's cars driving around, sounds, even a little basketball game you can play. The original took our team 40,000 hours to build. 3. It needs references to make great creative. My first attempt looked like Zuck's metaverse avatar lol. Once I gave it a Mondrian reference, it got beautiful. So you really gotta get your references in there. I like using Sublime or Cosmos for some of my inspo. 4. The best way to get it writing like you is to ask it to study everything you've written and turn it into a skill. It built me a voice guide, my vocabulary and templates in one go. 5. It did really well on my SaaS engineering on the first few prompts. 6. I like using it for physical AI stuff. It designed a product customizer, showed me the layers and the CAD, and exported a print-ready STL file. You can send that straight to a Bambu printer or a print-on-demand API. 7. I think there's a big business in adding custom 3D printed product widgets to Shopify stores. People get attached to things they customize. Someone go an do this. 8. You can rebuild boring legacy software for a niche and give it away for free. The code it writes is tested, so it feels ready to ship. 9. Use /plan before it touches any files. My first website attempt would have been way better with it. 10. The model is great. Antigravity still has some catching up to do. You can use Argon in Cursor and other harnesses in the meantime Link to full ep: Make cool things with AI that people buy. This episode of @startupideaspod might give you some ideas. I basically have 3 sections 1 on "vibe marketing", 1 on "vibe manufacturing" (and a cool shopify idea) and 1 on recreating legacy saas products (but better), Whatever it is you are building, just know that, I'm rooting for you.
