Jamie Turner(@jamwt):Our 3-day retention went from ~30% to 55%+ when Opus dropped. And has only risen since. We always knew if you stuck with @convex to minute 30, you'd probably like it. The problem was the leap from minute 5 to minute 30 required you to actually learn something new. Opus removed that requirement entirely. You got value because Opus already knew how to use Convex very well.
