Max knows how to cut your costs on Amazon ads
Hey X!
@acooldora told me I should start sharing my journey building Todoza. So here I am 😁
I'm Maksim, based in the UK.
Left the college, then spent the last 10 years building profitable e-commerce businesses from scratch in two countries. £1M in combined annual revenue.
At some point, I got tired of dealing with the same problems over and over, so I started building Todoza, a platform to manage sales, stock, suppliers, teams and ads.
Right now, I'm testing its most developed feature: a tool that finds wasted Amazon ad spend.
First results:
79 signups.
50 connected ad accounts.
0 paid subscriptions 😂
Let's see where this goes.
The Tesla Roadster won't ship until 2028, but its cockpit is already on your iPhone 🤯
You can build literally anything with Rork
Flying car this, flying car that
Can we talk about how gorgeous the Tesla Roadster's center display is?
In case you missed it, we rebuilt it down to the last detail as an iOS app with Rork
Huge respect to the @Tesla team.

Meet Benji, an animated eagle who explains your money
made with @claudeai Opus 5.5, voice by @ElevenLabs and a Metal shader for the mascot
He sleeps, wakes up, answers your questions on a chalkboard and makes a finance app feel like a friend
We asked Benji: "If I contribute $100 a month to Anna's account, how much will she have in five years?"
All of it was built with @rork
i noticed that @claudeai made almost the same song for sonnet 5.5 and opus 5.5 launch
listen
the attention to detail is incredible. absolutely genius.

but somehow I just end up working more and getting tired faster
Funeral space is a very new field for building company in public in twitter. And I’m rooting for Kate
Introducing my building an AI-native funeral company in public series.
Our generation does everything online and we care about experiences. But the one experience we’re all going to have? Still feels like a 100 years out of date.
Cringe.
The US has over 15,000 funeral homes. About 80% are family owned. Rising costs, staffing shortages, retiring owners. The people running these businesses are BURIED in admin while serving people in the toughest moments in our lives.
So where the hell does AI come in?
• Give owners one place to manage cases, staff, suppliers, and payments
• Help small teams serve more families by automating routine work
• Reach new customers through digital marketing and online booking
• Let families customize, plan and pay for a funeral online
• Expand the offering with pre-need plans, customized ceremonies and aftercare
Big-company infrastructure for small funeral homes.
Can we pull it off? The end goal: a personalized goodbye without the luxury price tag all over US.
Let's see!

Introducing Screen Capture
A small Rork feature you might have missed: take screenshots in one click or record your app right in the simulator
Both are automatically attached to the agent chat, with no extra tools or manual uploads. Show Rork what to change, or share what you’re building with a friend
This is the hottest startup of the fall
Congrats @mostik_ai 😭🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
meet @mostik_ai!
what happens when you put 12 PhDs in one room for four months? first place on the ARC-AGI leaderboard, which I can't say much about while the competition is still running. and this, which I can.
everyone's arguing about whether open models will catch up to frontier models. we think it's the wrong question. here's the one we pose: why does a frontier model have to generate your answer at all, when the only thing you need from it is the reasoning?
we do this by enabling models to communicate in latent space. through our protocol, hidden states pass straight from a frontier model into a small one running on your infrastructure -- no text between them, and neither model is fine-tuned. two models from different families, sharing reasoning, both left untouched.
how do we know it works? we tested it on a setup where a 753B model reads the problem, and a 4B edge-class model writes the answer. with this approach, we get results 80% as accurate as the frontier model, but at 20x faster performance.
we're committed to preventing frontier model lock-in and are already partnering with inference providers to accelerate open-weight adoption. we've done this between 15 of us, in four months, 12 PhDs and a Fields medalist, backed by @generalcatalyst
