Michael Pfister @pfista.com · 02/09/2025You shouldn’t have to ask an agent to help. Like any good employee, it should solve the problem before you know there is one in the first place. 020
Michael Pfister @pfista.com · 02/09/2025Proactive agent sees this message, automatically drafts a ticket, and then sends you a quick message: "I just drafted a ticket for you based on your conversation. Want me to create it"? All you have to do is say yes. 110
Michael Pfister @pfista.com · 02/09/2025Imagine you're in slack and your boss starts chatting about a bug they noticed. They say, "Can you create a ticket?". 100
Michael Pfister @pfista.com · 02/09/2025Proactive agents listen. They comb through all your operational data, extract intent, draft work, request approval, and then finish the job. Instead of having to ask AI what you want it to do all the time, now you only need to review and approve drafted work. 100
Michael Pfister @pfista.com · 02/09/2025"Hey, I noticed you have 3 unread emails that look important, can I give you a summary and then review some replies I drafted for you?" AI becomes the initiator, just like "Her". 100
Michael Pfister @pfista.com · 02/09/2025With Proactive Agents. First, give AI access to a firehose of data: - Slack threads - Github commits - Jira Tickets - Emails - Calendar events - Meeting transcripts 100
Michael Pfister @pfista.com · 02/09/2025Now our AI agents can connect to apps and control them, but we're still prompting the AI, repeating ourselves over and over. So how do we kill prompting once and for all? 100
Michael Pfister @pfista.com · 02/09/2025We needed to move from agents as information-gatherers to agents as action-takers. So we created tool calling. MCP captivated us all. 100
Michael Pfister @pfista.com · 02/09/2025So we connected LLMs to external data sources and gave them reasoning capabilities. This unlocked deeper research, with accurate answers and timely information. But how is that research useful if you aren't able to *do* anything with it? 100
Michael Pfister @pfista.com · 02/09/2025AI started isolated and offline. You asked, it answered based on it's internal world knowledge. But this often led to outdated or inaccurate answers due to knowledge cutoff 100
Michael Pfister @pfista.com · 02/09/2025What if you never had to prompt AI again? Proactive agents will be the the first time we truly feel the AGI Let me explain 🧵 120

Michael Pfister @pfista.com · 10/03/2025I happily pay for TablePlus, Medis, and Toggl. I was using the free tier enough that the paywalls got annoying, so I converted :) Definitely worth it! 000
Michael Pfister @pfista.com · 10/03/2025Window management is key, rectangle is free and makes it easy Most common shortcuts: - Swap a window to another monitor - Make a window full screen - Move a window to left half or right half of screen rectangleapp.comrectangleapp.comRectangleMove and resize windows in macOS using keyboard shortcuts or snap areas. The official page for Rectangle. 100
Michael Pfister @pfista.com · 10/03/2025I track my time meticulously to see where I'm spending it (and for consulting work too) Toggl is great because it's really easy to turn timers on and off. There's a great raycast integration, and live activities on iOS too. toggl.comtoggl.comToggl Track: Time Tracking Software for Any WorkflowThe world's best time tracking software. Track employee time, send beautiful client reports, and calculate profitability. Free and paid plans to save you time. 100
Michael Pfister @pfista.com · 10/03/2025Makes viewing and debugging your data in redis really easy. Works great for local data and hosted redis in prod too. getmedis.com 110
Michael Pfister @pfista.com · 10/03/2025TablePlus is great for running SQL snippets and inspecting staging / production data quickly. I prefer it over looking via supabase or querying directly tableplus.comtableplus.comTablePlus | Modern, Native Tool for Database Management.Modern, native client with intuitive GUI tools to create, access, query & edit multiple relational databases: MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Microsoft SQL Server, Amazon Redshift, MariaDB, CockroachDB, Vertica, Cassandra, and Redis. 110
Michael Pfister @pfista.com · 10/03/2025Some software I use every day but I rarely see mentioned: TablePlus - GUI for your database Medis - GUI for redis Toggl - Time tracking (works great with Raycast) Rectangle - Window management for MacOS Links below 👇 100
Michael Pfister @pfista.com · 10/03/2025cursor is insanely powerful now with all these tools added 010
Michael Pfister @pfista.com · 09/03/2025The possibilities are endless. MCP lays the foundation for extremely powerful agentic workflows, where all your software and data is accessible. Experience this new future today with skeet.buildskeet.buildSkeet - Connect Apps to CursorSkeet - One Shot Coding Workflows 000
Michael Pfister @pfista.com · 09/03/2025Suddenly ALL of the software you use is interconnected. Apps talking to and controlling other apps. - Google flights can check your calendar - Cursor can fix production bugs from Sentry - Customer feature requests are prioritized in Linear and sent to Slack 100
Michael Pfister @pfista.com · 09/03/2025MCP is about as cool as HTTP, so who cares? You don't have to understand HTTP to use one of the greatest inventions ever: the internet MCP is the same. It's not about the protocol, it's about what the protocol enables. 100
Michael Pfister @pfista.com · 04/03/2025This is why we’re building skeet.build—so AI can integrate seamlessly with the software that runs the world.skeet.buildSkeet - Connect Apps to CursorSkeet - One Shot Coding Workflows 000
Michael Pfister @pfista.com · 04/03/2025The exciting thing about this shift is it means it is more important than ever to focus on user value. If you're a builder, as long as your focused on solving burning customer problems, you will continue to win. The solutions will definitely look different than they used to. 100
Michael Pfister @pfista.com · 04/03/2025A user interface is a means to an end, doesn’t matter if it’s an app UI you built, an external LLM, an ai agent, or even a brain computer interface Protocols like MCP make this possible. The earlier your app integrates into the AI ecosystem, the more leverage you’ll have. 100
Michael Pfister @pfista.com · 04/03/2025Some apps won’t even need a frontend 🤯 They’ll just structure data, run workflows, and expose LLM-friendly APIs. Just because you aren’t using a steering wheel in a self driving car doesn’t mean it isn’t getting you somewhere 100
Michael Pfister @pfista.com · 04/03/2025But APIs change, integrations break, and the UX of unified apps never lived up to the promise. Now, LLMs can just talk to your apps for you. Instead of every app needing its own UI, an LLM becomes the interface—understanding natural language and controlling tools directly. 210
Michael Pfister @pfista.com · 04/03/2025AI will drastically change UI/UX design Natural language is one of the easiest ways to interact with a computer. Most people don’t know how to code, but everyone knows how to talk. Apps used to compete on integrations— trying to make hundreds of workplace tools all cooperate. 100
Michael Pfister @pfista.com · 03/03/2025The fastest way to connect Cursor AI to your apps is with skeet.build Connect as many applications as you want through a one-time setup.skeet.buildSkeet - Connect Apps to CursorSkeet - One Shot Coding Workflows 000
Michael Pfister @pfista.com · 03/03/2025This means you can update tickets, summarize PRs, send messages to your team, all from within the context of your IDE. Less time spent prompting, less time communicating with your team, and more time to build. 100
Michael Pfister @pfista.com · 03/03/2025Enter MCP: an open protocol that standardizes how AI apps like Cursor can access data and call APIs from other tools. Now your LLM can get issue details from Linear to create an implementation plan, or send a message to slack once you've created your pull request in Github. 110
Michael Pfister @pfista.com · 03/03/2025Today, LLMs are smart but isolated. They aren't aware of data inside important apps like Linear, Github, Slack, Jira, etc. But this data is incredibly important to how you build and ship features. 100
