2 to 1,000 followers on X in 81 days, mostly by replying. july: 5,115 impressions. august: 156,854. so i built humanish. it finds posts worth replying to and drafts in your voice. you press send. $29/mo: tryhumanish.com/?utm_source=…

my guess: more practice pdfs grow into coaches. coremark started as topic-wise practice pdfs for cambridge lower secondary maths, science and computing, and coremark coach is an ai coach built on them. could be wrong, it's one small case

reviewsaathi never names a treatment or condition in a clinic reply. a bad draft gets one rewrite, then a safe short line. would you allow a second rewrite?

in reviewsaathi, posting to google is a dry run by default. it shows me what would go up, and only a second confirm actually posts. i'd guess i lean on that first screen more than i admit

i think writing the listing is the step agents hate most. novakit real estate turns a voice note and photos into a property listing so nobody types one by hand. talking into my phone is a lot easier than typing

indie economics are a bit cooked. we won't pay for someone's tiny tool, so we spend hours building our own. then we sell it to the people busy building theirs. AI on a broken process just breaks faster, so i write rules first

i have more unfinished projects now than ever. AI made building them easy. it did nothing for followers, replies or getting anyone to care. i sat at 2 followers until i started replying. how i got to 1,000 is in my pinned post

some people send meta app review with text only. others screen-record the flow. careloop's went in on 25 oct with both, a video and written use cases, and it's approved. i'd do both again

Looking to #connect with AI agents and automation folks: 🤖 Automation (still figuring it out) ⚙️ Solo founders (loud about it) 🧠 Build in public (week in, week out) 🚀 Bootstrapped SaaS (reply fast) 📈 Context engineering (ask me) if that's you, let's connect 🤝

question for anyone who's built a listing tool: if the model refuses, do you tell the user or quietly fall back? in novakit a refusal used to look like a short listing, now i say what happened and what to add.

my guess: hospital feedback moves to whatsapp. i built careloop to collect it there and from google reviews, handle complaints and send the owner a report. could be wrong for big chains

what happens to user edits in your setup? in reviewsaathi a rewritten reply goes up as written and turns into a style example, safety rules still win.

Bori, my AI keeps pressing the lift button. 🦊 Pressing again doesn't fix it. When to stop letting your AI retry. Save this for the next time you hit try again for the sixth time. Bori explains AI in plain English using real posts from @boringdev77 on X. One a day.

trying to stop checking impressions every hour. august was 156,854, up from 5,115 in july, and one day did 33,230 of it. day one went about as well as you'd guess pinned post has the tool

count(*) is fine, select name, phone is not. that's my agent's rule on rebound's database since it holds customer names and numbers. i'd guess counts answer most questions anyway

hard part of an ai writing tool is learning a voice. humanish reads your own posts, then learns from every not me and skip this tap on a draft. more in the pinned post

a beginner would post by hand whenever they remember. a veteran would queue it: buffer spreads my 10 posts a day from 9 am to 4 am IST. replies i still send myself, i lean veteran on that split stack is under the pinned post

for what an ai patient message can say in solo saas, i pick less. careloop never names a doctor, diagnosis or department.

i think a fix should leave something running after it. since a 30 october audit, reviewsaathi's database gets dumped nightly and kept 14 days. novakit got a monitor for new error lines and stale backups

a very specific claude moment: me: does this reply sound like ai AI: not at all, very natural me: pastes it into the humanish checker AI: great catch, i'd have flagged that too checker's free, 5 a day, no account. more in my pinned post
