claude vs chatgpt as primary AI? last night both companies made this choice very easy :)

Rafal ★ AI Wrapper King @rafal.fyi · 27/02/2026

wasn’t daniel vassallo’s (who basically coined the term „portfolio of small bets”) project recently acquired?

000

Rafal ★ AI Wrapper King @rafal.fyi · 05/02/2026

yup! lots of details to figure out, but the goal is a click through experience with smart defaults. my bet is that in less than a decade Apple will make “AI box” mainstream 😃

business idea: openclaw in every home. pre-configured, shipped on mac minis, ready to go

110

Rafal ★ AI Wrapper King @rafal.fyi · 04/02/2026

that could be signs of a burnout, going against intuition and not setting goals might actually be better :)

Rafal ★ AI Wrapper King @rafal.fyi · 02/02/2026

mac mini is hype, but some reasons: - easier access to actual desktop, browser etc - option to run local llms (with more ram) - it’s cute, feels like a pet all points above arguable ofc, but mac mini is just a great encapsulation of high quality hardware to run your second brain on

i just set up mine this weekend and my mind is blown

000

Rafal ★ AI Wrapper King @rafal.fyi · 02/02/2026

so much to teach it already 😅

000

Rafal ★ AI Wrapper King @rafal.fyi · 02/02/2026

so do you have your openclaw yet?

120

Rafal ★ AI Wrapper King @rafal.fyi · 02/02/2026

definitely not something where I sell my own time :) probably manufacturing something? I like systems.

000

Rafal ★ AI Wrapper King @rafal.fyi · 27/01/2026

ZIRP -> more VC capital -> more companies -> more jobs, regardless of AI companies don’t start by themselves :)

000

Rafal ★ AI Wrapper King @rafal.fyi · 15/01/2026

very much so, especially in the realm of Clawd and similar

000

Rafal ★ AI Wrapper King @rafal.fyi · 14/01/2026

why not using Claude Code on your phone?

000

Rafal ★ AI Wrapper King @rafal.fyi · 12/01/2026

most of it is gut feeling coming from experience, backed by data (eg revenue/retention by cohort etc)

000

Rafal ★ AI Wrapper King @rafal.fyi · 10/01/2026

why did I decide to go ahead with this acquisition? - my thesis is that APIs are a great lifestyle business in the AI era - Tam's project is polished and well made, and has good initial traction - my experience with Supadata gives me confidence and ideas to grow another API onwards and upwards 😎

Rafal ★ AI Wrapper King @rafal.fyi · 10/01/2026

my first acquisition 🎉 while strategizing on my API portfolio, i stumbled upon Tam's project on TrustMRR by @marclou.bsky.social two days (and one failed escrow) later, i'm the new owner of RemoveBGAPI .com 🙌

Rafal ★ AI Wrapper King @rafal.fyi · 25/11/2025

but only 40 impressions? ain’t nobody gonna build a business on that :)

020

Rafal ★ AI Wrapper King @rafal.fyi · 23/11/2025

you can eg buy OpenAI credits in advance :)

110

Rafal ★ AI Wrapper King @rafal.fyi · 21/11/2025

ads, annual subscriptions, prepay services

120

Rafal ★ AI Wrapper King @rafal.fyi · 10/11/2025

you can see tool invocation counts on Smithery

010

Rafal ★ AI Wrapper King @rafal.fyi · 02/11/2025

I’m doing this solo because working with others adds levels of complexity I don’t want to deal with day to day. Hiring part time contractors is enough headache already :)

010

Rafal ★ AI Wrapper King @rafal.fyi · 02/11/2025

if it hurts, means it’s real 😘

010

Rafal ★ AI Wrapper King @rafal.fyi · 01/11/2025

congrats, you were promoted from code writer to code reviewer 🌟

110

Rafal ★ AI Wrapper King @rafal.fyi · 28/10/2025

I have 10 monitors, 2 status pages and custom domains for free :) but you're talking to a non-paying customer so I might not be your target (yet)

100

Rafal ★ AI Wrapper King @rafal.fyi · 28/10/2025

I actually signed up a few months ago! It’s a slick product, but: 1. BetterUptime free plan has all the things I need, OpenStatus doesn’t 2. Historical data 😭

100

Rafal ★ AI Wrapper King @rafal.fyi · 27/10/2025

I found that as a dev myself I find it very easy to find, talk and sell to devs

000

Rafal ★ AI Wrapper King @rafal.fyi · 27/10/2025

I have the opposite experience :)

Rafal ★ AI Wrapper King @rafal.fyi · 23/10/2025

check out Pantheon on Netflix, less action but really interesting story

110

Rafal ★ AI Wrapper King @rafal.fyi · 17/10/2025

yup! It’s a VSCode extension that integrates with the editor. So you get the benefits of Cursor (eg autocomplete) and fully fledged Claude Code

100

Rafal ★ AI Wrapper King @rafal.fyi · 17/10/2025

I feel like yearly subscriptions don’t make much sense with the current pace of changes :) I’m currently using free Cursor with paid Claude Code extension

120

Rafal ★ AI Wrapper King @rafal.fyi · 15/10/2025

Supadata finally has a copycat... can't believe someone copied our horrible landing page 🥲

030

Rafal ★ AI Wrapper King @rafal.fyi · 07/10/2025

no idea if it gets better because I’m 16min behind you on the story 😀 but I think I’ll stick with it, despite being so implausible it’s entertaining enough

010

Rafal ★ AI Wrapper King @rafal.fyi · 07/10/2025

this show is great acting but very stretched plot

100

Rafal ★ AI Wrapper King @rafal.fyi · 01/10/2025

your product is really just a customer retention strategy

010

Rafal ★ AI Wrapper King @rafal.fyi · 29/09/2025

I suspect that he meant that there are existing solutions but they are not good enough. Proven by the CPC and search volume without a clear market leader

010

Rafal ★ AI Wrapper King @rafal.fyi · 25/09/2025

yes! I was there too. happy I decided to push through the hardship with some selected projects

010

Rafal ★ AI Wrapper King @rafal.fyi · 25/09/2025

it’s not enough to test many channels, but here are some suggestions from my experience: 1. Paid sponsorship on TAAFT 2. Pay someone to piece together AI tools to churn out hundreds of TT pieces 3. Pay for smth like Redreach and automated replies

Rafal ★ AI Wrapper King @rafal.fyi · 25/09/2025

the only thing that allowed my indie business to survive: consistency.

130

Rafal ★ AI Wrapper King @rafal.fyi · 25/09/2025

increasing my prices today 🫡

Rafal ★ AI Wrapper King @rafal.fyi · 24/09/2025

confusion is a defense strategy too 👍🥲

010

Rafal ★ AI Wrapper King @rafal.fyi · 24/09/2025

but yes I am a TS fan too, just needed to poke where a poke is due
