Tweets That Matter
I’ve spent more time than I feel comfortable admitting, thinking about this reddit post. The app is called Rizz and it does one thing: use AI to read a screenshot of a conversation and give you a quick response.
I wanted to rebuild it over the weekend and get in the game. And the more I looked into this, the more competition and copycats I found.
–however–
This paints a pretty vivid picture about the first-to-market mentality with AI being a gold rush. Idea turned into product; product turned into profit; and is now so far ahead no one else can catch up.
Why this tweet matters?
If you have an AI idea, don’t hesitate. GET IT LIVE.
This is the reason I’m launching my own projects, iterating and testing, and I want you to do the same.

Breaking Email Changes You Need To Know
Are you prepared for the big changes coming to bulk email sending Feb 1st?
On my latest episode ofΒ The PromptΒ π, we unpacked the crucial updates that are set to shake up the way we send emails at scale. Here are the key takeaways you need to know:
- πΒ Clean your email list: Gmail and Yahoo are starting to phase out inactive accounts, so it’s crucial to clean up your email list to avoid skyrocketing numbers of hard bounces.
- πΒ Authenticate your emails: Implementing authentication methods like DKIM, SPF, and DMARC will help prevent spam and phishing attempts, ultimately enhancing email deliverability.
- πΒ Timeline for changes: The new requirements will kick in come February 2024, and non-compliant emails will start seeing temporary errors. By April 2024, non-compliant emails will be outright rejected.
These changes aren’t just for the big players in the email game β they signal a broader shift in the email landscape that all senders will need to adapt to in the near future. Stay ahead of them and prioritize the experience and safety of your recipients.
