Progress by Uriel Bitton

Founders, we just launched native AI post drafts !

If you’re a pro user you can now get Brix (Buildside’s AI) to write you a post. He’ll use your voice from your recent posts and generating you a post that sounds just like you wrote it. You can then edit it and post it. Working on making him perfect! P.S. if you wanna try out pro for free, just invite 5 founders and you get a month of pro on me :)

One thing I’m learning as a SaaS founder:

Lesson by Emmanuel

Most founders obsess over getting traffic.

Almost none of them think about what happens when that traffic Googles them. Here's the uncomfortable truth: Before a potential customer buys from you they check your reviews.
