Biggest surprise from the GPT-5 announcement? It wasn't they're trying to compete with Lovable. Or that they hopefully improved the coding capabilities. It's that it actually costs less! If GPT-5 produces, it's actually a big undercut to Claude's $3 price tag.

Kicking off the internal GPT-5 viewing party.

A prospect put our AI email generation to the test on a call this morning. They wanted to see how well our email generation created crazy variants. I honestly wasn't sure how it would go🤣 Our email agent crushed it. Asked our agent: Put it underwater and in a scuba gear.

Ideogram Character is actually nuts. They nailed the human/model side. This is actually a big upgrade for design. We're sooo close. Take a few shots from the photoshoot, create a character around it, and then you're set. Here's a test I did using Jones Road Beauty.

@nicgrasset saw the awesome update from tobi yesterday on agents. While it's awesome for the customer... we need some love for store admins! You know, so we can let agents do a little automation for us vs. getting blocked by cloudflare (just verifying doesn't work)?💙

I've used Chrome since it launched 16 years ago. But now... Comet has won. It's my default browser. Not just because it somehow operates more efficiently (same number of tabs open on Chrome & Comet). But it's how AI browsing should be. It's my non-dev IDE.

Insights from this: - Most people are not good at getting results from LLMs based on how "underwhelming" the response to o3 was - 4.5 doesn't have the same coding/math which explains why it's so good at creative - GPT5 lift difficulty tells me focused models coming soon

Raleon demos always make me smile. "We only care about X" "Wait, you can do Y, too?" "Can you just do this end-to-end for me and I'll review?" ✅

As AI eats software, every incumbent is going to be facing the innovators dilemma over the next 2 years. If you're not re-imaging what your software looks like in an AI-first way, you should be looking at who to buy, or who to be bought buy. MASSIVE moats being the exception

Most ecommerce teams run retention in reactive mode. Customers churn. Revenue dips. Then the team scrambles to send a winback or a promo. And sure, sometimes that works. But it’s inefficient, unpredictable, and way too manual. What if you could predict who’s going to churn before they do? Or know who’s ready for their second order before they ghost you? That’s what @NathanSnell at @RaleonHQ is solving. It’s not just automating what you already do. It’s helping you operate ahead of the curve with AI-driven retention infrastructure. Here’s what it gives you: ✅ Behavior-based segments that update automatically ✅ Purchase and churn predictions that guide your campaign planning ✅ Send strategies built on real performance data, not guesswork The result? More emails sent, better timing, and stronger LTV without adding headcount. If you’re still reacting to customer behavior, it’s time to level up. Raleon helps you shift from reactive to predictive, and it makes all the difference. Check them out >> P.S. I’m a paid advocate for Raleon, but only because I’ve seen firsthand how powerful Raleon is for ecommerce teams.
