Ion Grigoras Is there a way to have cowork scrape names and phone numbers of people who filed for a business license with the local county, city, state government? People who are planning to open a business in the near future. I do business internet service and that would be helpful for sure. Thanks.

Hey Architects! Pricing is going up and the annual subscription is on sale through Oct 1. Here's what's changing and why. First, some context on where this is headed. The AI space right now is dominated by a specific kind of noise. Agent swarms that run your business 24/7 doing nothing of real substance. Prompts and magic skills that replace an entire creative team (that aren't really that creative). On and on. It's misleading people. People end up building apps anyone could copy over a weekend, or you're so overwhelmed you build nothing at all, in fear whatever you today is gone tomorrow. Either way you end up burned out, working hard, consuming nonstop, with nothing real to show for it. And it all comes from the same place: a hype cycle that makes its money keeping you watching, not building. The opportunity is massive. But it takes more than a weekend — it takes understanding what actually works, what's noise, and where the real value is. I've spent 30 years building software. The last few months I went deep into the technical layers of AI development — agents, architecture, the stuff most creators skip because it doesn't make a good tweet. I came back with a much clearer picture of what's worth your time. So the direction is getting more focus. A new focused AI Strategy call on Friday, and content aimed at end results. Building real products, not hype demos. And bringing people together who want a realistic plan to take advantage of what's going on. Here's what's happening with pricing. Your current $97/month is locked in as long as you keep your membership. The annual subscription is $597 right now for a limited time — 40% off before it goes to $997 on Oct 15. - Now — $97/month · $597/annual - Oct 15 — $197/month · $997/annual - Dec 1 — $297/month · $997/annual Drop a comment if you have questions. It's been great working with you.

Hi! I need to buy a new PC because mine is outdated. What specs would you recommend for starting an AI business? I want something that can handle a wide range of AI-related tasks, from AI automation and content creation to AI image generation and other AI applications.

Hey Architects, I'm curious, if you're using Hermes, what are the top 3 things Hermes does for you? Let us know if its a ongoing cron or done through normal chat. Let's share and get some ideas. See you in the comments!

Hey Architects! I'm traveling this week, we'll be back on with the lives next week. Personal note: I'm really enjoying them and I'm learning a lot. It's amazing how much progress you can make on something if you do it consistently. I plan to continue them and turn them into the center piece of my content strategy. More on that soon. I'll have content for you this week, the new SaaS Startup Guide is getting edited as we speak and should be in the classroom in the next day or two. I've got several builds in the works: a new SaaS content system, a very dead-simple AI agent (like Hermes but way more simple to use), and some cool updates to Shockwave. All stuff I'll cover in the lives and the classroom. Hint: Something hard to express that I'm learning with Claude Code and these AI tools is that it's easy to dream big. Practically building these tools is still quite difficult—if you try to make your app, project, or agent do "everything," it will become brittle and hard to update. I've been learning that keeping focused on a more targeted avatar/client will make your app faster and easier to build. - AI enthusiasts - Busy businessmen - Solopreneurs vs. small business vs. enterprise These are very different avatars, and they're likely looking for different products. If you can make something work really well and make it easy, I think it'll be easy to make money. Take Openclaw and Hermes—these are cool tools, but they're built for a certain type of person: willing to tinker, work, learn, and solve problems. Something easier and less full-featured would be a good solution for many people. Sit on that for a bit and learn how to reduce the scope of your projects to fit a more targeted avatar. That's all for now. Drop a comment below with your thoughts!
