Claude's deep research feature is better than the ones from Open AI and Perplexity in my experience. They've put out a fascinating deep dive on how they built its multi-agent architecture: www.anthropic.com/engineering/...

I've added a new feature to Scribbe: editable note titles. Version 1.7.0, released this week, gives users the ability to change the title of a note. Previously, AI generated a title for a note, & you were stuck with it. No more! This one was driven by repeated user requests. #buildinpublic

Finding Claude often performs better with its new web search tool turned off. Its internal knowledge seems more reliable than the mix of internal knowledge + web search results.

Creation pipeline: HeyGen to create talking head video. Send to editor ($30 on Fiverr) with b-roll library and instructions to cover the speaker when necessary.

AI still struggles with getting lip motions right and being able to produce video with enough facial expressiveness to seem natural. The solution to deal with this - use b-roll or popups to cover the AI avatar's face where the expression gets off (example below). #buildinpublic #marketinginpublic

From, what I know, that's pretty good. Translates to download -> paying of 5-7%.

What are your download -> trial and trial -> paid looking like? I've been trying to work on those.

Have you experimented with introductory free trials (3 days, 7 days, etc.)?

Neil Saduka @neilgoing.bsky.social · 07/01/2025

Thanks Sam. We actually finished the feature with in house code and shipped it.

Working today on a new landing page for Scribbe & loving Bolt. It has been able to do 80% of the work for me. The design it came up with was pretty good (and responsive). Now it's just about polishing the code. #buildinpublic

This is awesome - thanks dude! What did you use to make this?

Neil Saduka @neilgoing.bsky.social · 29/12/2024

Scribbe's landing page 👇 was fine for a quick launch, but it needs an upgrade. I can code it, but design is not my strong suit. Want something high fidelity with scroll animations, etc. Recommendations on designers or templates? #buildinpublic #marketinpublic

I guess my question is how do your clients get their potential customers to agree to calls.

Neil Saduka @neilgoing.bsky.social · 16/12/2024

What happens if you just email them? Do they respond.

Here's what Claude had to say about watchOS and Mac?

Neil Saduka @neilgoing.bsky.social · 10/12/2024

Not much, the thinking goes, because it hasn't been shown to change monetization of an app much. Is the conventional wisdom right on this?
