Most companies donāt allow employees to use public AI tools at work due to data risk concerns.
So I built Novice, it offers a NotebookLM-like experience on your own computer. NotebookLM is great for research and writing, but imagine the benefits of having a similar experience powered by local AI, keeping your data secure while still harnessing advanced writing and research capabilities. Try it for free, it's available for all Macs with Apple-Silicon, Windows users stay tuned :)
In the HVAC industry, especially during peak seasons, managing customer inquiries efficiently can be a significant challenge. Inspired by a recent case study, I developed an AI phone agent to address this issue.
Iāve also added the case study below along with a number to the demo voice agent I created to see if this is something people would really be interested in.
Case Study:
A regional HVAC provider faced difficulties handling the surge in customer calls during extreme weather conditions. Approximately 25% of inbound calls went unanswered during peak heating or cooling seasons, leading to missed sales opportunities and decreased customer satisfaction. Staff spent about 35% of their time on repetitive scheduling tasks, detracting from on-site work and sales consultations.
Solution:
To tackle these challenges, the company implemented a Voice AI Agent capable of:
The AI voice agent greets callers and identifies their needs, whether it's scheduling repairs, inquiring about new HVAC installations, or requesting emergency services. It checks real-time availability of technicians or sales representatives to book appointments or escalate urgent cases. For basic troubleshooting, such as resetting a thermostat, the AI Agent offers step-by-step instructions before dispatching a technician.
Results:
After implementing the Voice AI Agent, the company saw a decrease in missed calls from 25% to less than 1%, improved booking efficiency, and a significant 35% boost in sales due to immediate customer engagement.
Here is the number to the demo agent that I created: +1 (210) 405-0982
I'm keen to hear your thoughts and discuss how this technology could be adapted to various industries.
Job searching last year made me realize how one-dimensional and restrictive resumes and LinkedIn profiles are. They donāt capture who you really are beyond lifeless bullet points. Plus, it's why there's a rise in personal micro-sites being created. So, I built the platform I wished existed when I was looking. Itās your resume essential ... and a modern way for business and tech professionals to stand out and land more interviews with engaging and interactive profiles. You can share your profile externally, or get discovered by employers using the platform.
ThinkĀ Linkedin Profiles meets TikTok ... engaging, dynamic, fun and thoughtfully designed for todayās generation and competitive job market.Ā Iām looking for beta testers for the last week of February. If you're job hunting (or just curious), Iād love for you to try it out. Just sign up for the waitlist and we'll reach out.
Sharing my favorite feature - every piece of written content you see here will be created for you upon uploading your resume. And, if you're not comfortable with video, you can use audio, or just stick with written formats.
Here's a premature demo - 4 weeks out from launch.

Letās build something great together!
Hello
I learned my lesson. I have to focus on an audience, and by audience I mean a group of people that share some interest.Ā
I have been doing the thing in the opposite order.Ā
I build something for a specific audience and then reach out to them without too much understanding of them.Ā
This approach has not worked so far in the last 4 projects I have done ā last 11 months. So this is my new philosophy: I want to be deeply enough involved in some community so I understand their needs.Ā
Then I want to talk to them about what they are facing, and only then build something about that based on the data I found. Also, the audience I build for has to be based on my interest and not on the money. Work only for money makes you feel bad, and once things get uncomfortable or hard itās easier to loose interest.Ā
So this time, it has to be something I really enjoy, and I want to feel like Iām having an ongoing conversation. I donāt want to build something I donāt care about, for people who donāt care about it. I really love learning and building software. I am a professional dev with a software degree and 5 years of experience and 1 year of failed software entrepreneurship. I love to read and share that knowledge with my friends. If there is something I want to talk with, that audio has to be related to my professional interest.Ā
Where do you think I can find people like that to talk to? Iām thinking about x, but even though, how do you find that specific type of person on social media? Iām not a social media guy. I want to know, what do you think about my thoughts?
Wish you luck on your personal journey !
Pretty much title. I saw an ad for Replit, an app that codes other apps based on your description/question, and am curious to know if itās too good to be true.
I have been using OpenPerplex (https://openperplex.com/) to get the latest new about company. It does a very good job by scraping company's website and also their social media platforms which is great! However, it is expensive to use for my project and also has hard rate limits!
Can you folks recommend some newer alternatives? Specifically which works with web search well.
TIA!

Thank you very much for trying it out :D
A few weeks ago, I deployed my web app to productionāmainly to see if everything works well and as expected. No marketing, no announcements, just vibes.
A few hours later, three new accounts popped up.
Not just any accountsāall with eerily similar emails. My immediate thought? āNo way these are real. This has to be bots, scammers, or some weird automation abuse.ā
So, naturally, I deleted them. Instantly. No questions asked. No hesitation. Just pure, top-tier Founder Instincts.
Then, as a second security step, I panicked even harder and slammed the site into maintenance modeāwhile having dinner with my fiancĆ©e and her parents. (Because nothing says āfuture son-in-law of the yearā like anxiously shutting down your own business at the dinner table.)
At midnight, after seeing no more activity, I figured whatever was going on had stopped, so I removed maintenance mode and called it a day.
The next morning, I checked my user listā¦ and there they were again.
The exact same three accounts.
At this point, my brain short-circuited. Had my deletion not worked? Was my app haunted? Was I part of some elaborate social experiment where users gaslight SaaS founders into losing their minds?
Thatās when I finally decided to check Paddle (my payment provider).
And there it was.
One of those āhackersā had actually subscribed for $35/monthābefore I deleted them.
Panic. Full-on, āI am an idiotā panic.
And then, right after checking Paddle, I got an email.
A real human.
Asking why the site went down right after they paid.
At that moment, I realized I had spent my early days with this SaaS actively fighting against my own success.
So, I did the only thing I could: ā Apologized profusely ā Refunded their entire payment ā Gave them free credits as a gift
Thankfully, they came backābut this time, instead of subscribing, they only bought a prepaid product. (Fair enough, Iād be skeptical of my own platform too.)
Out of curiosity, I asked them how they even found my SaaS.
Their answer? Make.com search.
Of course, I knew my web app had a Make.com integration for automating video creation, voice-overs, transcripts, and more, but I wasnāt aware of the power that search hadāor that I could gain actual customers from there.
So, not only was this a real customer, but it was exactly the type of user my SaaS was built for. And I deleted them.
Lesson learned: Always check twice. No matter what.
To prevent future self-sabotage, I set up a Make.com automation that sends Telegram notifications straight to my phone whenever a new user registers or a payment occurs. Now, instead of blindly deleting customers, I can at least panic with real-time data.
So, to my first ever customer: If youāre out there, thank you for your patience. I promise Iām not always this dumb. (ā¦probably.)
My app got more than 100+ Download within 1. This happens first time with me.

I just launched my first Google Chrome Extension called KAITĀ (Available now in theĀ Google Chrome Store)
It's a subscription based Google Chrome extension that allows users to highlight any section of text on a website and quickly analyze the text using the power of AI. If an article, post or other body of text is too large or boring to read, simply highlight the contents, open the extension and click a button!
This a repost:
So, Iāve been working in digital marketing for a while now (8 months), specifically in the entrepreneurial niche, and one of the things Iāve found most rewarding is creating and selling digital products. Itās been a journey of trial and error, but Iāve developed strategies for building a personal brand and turning it into something sustainable.
One thing Iāve noticed is that teaching others or sharing strategies requires more than just casual adviceāitās a lot of information to unpack. To make it easier, I decided to get a program that lays everything out visually, step by step, almost like drawing it all out on a whiteboard. It also collaborates with other experienced marketers who bring their own insights to help anyone whoās stuck or just starting out.
The price point Iāve set for this program is $500, which includes bonus products Iāve created that can be rebranded to fit your own style. Iāve also added free, unlimited mentorship on top of it because Iāve personally benefited so much from having an advisor. It makes the journey feel a lot less overwhelming when you have someone to guide you.
Iāve been debating if this pricing is reasonable, given the value I try to provide. From the program content to the mentorship, I want it to be accessible but also reflect the effort and resources that go into it.
For anyone else in this space, how do you balance pricing your services while ensuring itās a fair value for your audience? Have you experimented with different price points or models?
Also, if youāre just getting into digital marketing and thinking of it as a side hustle, here are a few tips Iāve learned along the way:
If youāre in digital marketing, selling digital products, or even considering starting out, Iād love to hear your thoughts! How do you approach pricing your services?
