I built a tool that outperforms ChatGPT 5 Pro, Claude Opus 4.1, and Claude Code on knowledge work tasks.
It's not another wrapper.
It's not another chat interface.
It transforms a simple prompt into publishable work in one shot.
Here is how it works 🧵

Today we're releasing Plays.
You describe who you want to reach. Pancake asks a couple of questions, then goes and finds them, and every lead comes back with the reason it fits.
Shh, it's still early access.

I’m open for Product Design or Design Engineer projects this autumn.
This is a rare opportunity to hire me to design and build 0-1 products including AI-native MVPs, specifically: web apps (React.js/Node.js), desktop apps (Electron.js), or to focus solely on product design.
I have strong product intuition and design taste. With a decade of experience in product design and over 15 digital products, I've worked across a wide range of environments and teams, delivering products users love!
In the past 4 years, I’ve designed, built and launched successful products on my own:
✦ @KerligAI - an AI chat with agentic mode for macOS, Product of the Day on Product Hunt
✦ @LocalCanApp - a developer tool and infrastructure (Ngrok alternative) which crossed $100k revenue
✦ Webhook.Cool - top 3 webhook testers in Google search
✦ @Journal_do - a journal app for macOS with 2k users
Areas where I have the most expertise include AI, developer tools, payments, automation, and canvas-based apps.
If you have a project that could benefit from my skills and experience, I'd love to hear from you.

My contribution to @OmarchyLinux - Recast: a fast and minimal AI text tool - to quickly chat and transform selected text.
Highlight text, hit SUPER+I, and ask:
- Deslop writing
- Correct grammar
- Translate
- Change the format plain text → Markdown
- Explain complex words or topics
- Summarize
Inspired by the excellent @KerligAI and @raycast.
Link below!
Uses @OpenRouter - comes preconfigured with 15 models + you can add custom ones.
Select the effort level of your model.
Configure if you want to automatically add the output to your clipboard or not.
Configure if you want it to render markdown or plain text.
Keyboard shortcuts for everything.
Super fast and simple - very useful to refine dictated text!

The OpenAI Foundation is hiring people to help turn AI’s capabilities into benefits people can feel.
Doing that takes more than advances in AI itself. It takes new scientific infrastructure, stronger institutions, and organizations that can turn new capabilities into real-world impact.
We’re hiring talented and passionate people to help us advance our mission: openaifoundation.org/news/co…

I now run 4 Codex accounts and 4 Claude Code accounts.
So I vibecoded a small app that switches to the next one the second one hits its limit. Called it viberouter.
I asked here a while back if anyone wanted to build this. Nobody did, so.

Without this guy, @getpancake_ai might not exist.
A few months ago, @NicTouron showed me his OpenClaw setup.
I left with so much FOMO that I bought a Mac Mini the same day.
A few months later, we launched Pancake.
So now, every time we meet, he gets paid in pancakes 🥞

Autonomous companies will become a reality before the end of 2026.
I want autonomous companies to be accessible for anyone with a computer, a dream, and Pancake.
Not just the top 0.1%.
Introducing Pancake: the OpenClaw cofounder that makes your company autonomous.

I’ve become obsessed with the idea of “talent engineering” as the next big role
recruiting today looks like sales/sales development 5 yrs ago… full of relationship-oriented people who define ICPs manually, build candidate pools from LinkedIn Recruiter, curate sprawling applicant tracking CRMs, write outreach and navigate mutuals to find warm intros.
“Talent engineer” follows the same structural pattern as a GTM engineer, but applied to another critical lead funnel…
they are a smart, agent building “growth-minded individuals, thinking systematically about:
1) discoverability (where does the right person exist in the world, what public and private signals can we consume, how?)
2) attraction (what signals make them open the email?)
3) assessment (what's the structured way to know if they're actually good?), and
4) close (what moves the needle, gets them to choose your company vs. someone else?)...
When we announced the @a16z Growth Engineer Fellowship recently (applications close tomorrow, btw), we defined the landscape: “AI is enabling extreme personalization at scale. Hyper-targeted landing pages, demos, voice agent scripts, ads, influencer marketing campaigns, and more - tailored to each unique customer.” …. If you swap “customer” for “candidate” and you have another startup MVP hire, who everyone needs asap.
Does this resonate??
I’ve been speaking with a handful of these people… eager to chat and learn, going to host a gathering in next few weeks, maybe build some agents together .. reply / tag someone / DM if you’re interested in joining 🙋♂️👇
Six months. Six products shipped - some of them pretty big.
I've had maxed-out subscriptions to every major AI platform (Codex, Claude, Bolt, Replit, and more), but I always return to @Cursor_ai. The IDE, the interface, the different modes, the model updates as they drop - it's the best of all worlds. I'm genuinely impressed by the little things the team includes daily.
But as an Ultra user pushing Plan Mode hard, it's still behind the classic "write me .md specs" workflow.
Here's how I would make it a true collaborator you can trust:
1. Questionnaire Constraints ⛓️
Problem: Questionnaires are productive but too rigid. I feel boxed in - I've started asking Plan Mode to skip them and just ask questions in chat instead.
Fix: Add "I don't know" options + free-text notes. Let me guide with context, not just A/B choices.
2. Plan Collaboration 📑
Problem: Refining a plan feels disconnected from the conversation.
Fix: Let me highlight sections, leave comments Google Doc-style, trigger targeted updates - and select text to add to chat like we can in the terminal.
3. Deep Research 🧠
Problem: Sometimes Cursor should search the web before making product decisions for me.
Fix: Connect to Perplexity/OpenAI Deep Research during complex planning.
4. View & Tracking 👓
Problem: Tables render as `|—|—|`, line returns get swallowed, and I can't track what changed between iterations.
Fix: Clean up markdown rendering + add diff view for plan versions (like Agent mode has for files).
You're building the best tool in the game - I've built six products to prove it. Nail these collaboration layers, and Plan Mode becomes untouchable.
Happy to chat through anything @n2parko @amanrsanger, @shaoruu & team 🫶
Note:
The app isn't 100% stable yet, you might have some issues when you run 10+ steps or need to provide some feedback after the supervisor rejected 3 attempts on one step.
WIP 👋
@nikitabier tagging all those accounts on the pro X platform has been one of the worst software experiences I had in a long time - please fix 🙏
