We have been working hard on the Q4 narrative and plan, we feel really confident that our platform is one of the most powerful out there, and even powerhouse multibillion dollar companies like n8n and Zapier, do not have an agentic framework like we do. So, technically I would not even say it is a direct comparison, as I think agents are the end goal. Workflows like theirs, are for specific tasks, but do not more forward agentic systems with real agency.
That said, we have shown off the first step of how to take this bigger through helping the x1e team. It is still an MVP, and we are working on it with these other teams, but it uses our framework, and showcases how you can build apps AROUND your agent. Also, most of the user accounts are up https://x.com/x1e/status/1960039473191985548, some a very significant amount depending on their settings. This is not easy to do, otherwise everyone would be doing it, and here we are. This and the Business-to-Business work we have been doing is vital. We have anther AI App coming soon, with the addition to mobile on the horizon. This is unorthodox, but we have good reason.
Usually, you would try to get developers to give feedback on how it works, and improve it. Then upgrade it, then get users in to test the parts that are supposed to be "simple". Obviously nothing is simple about this, and the reason we went a unique route is because we think it just works better. Our developers know the product, and the businesses know what they want, so who better to improve the product and how to make it more efficient, than the people who are building for a clear vision and understand the limitations and how to improve them. This means when we open the platform to developers, it will be what we envisioned. Alongside this, we have the non-technical side of the team using the AI builder, ensuring we understand how it can be made easier. If we do not understand the product inside and out, how can we help and collect user feedback. This combined with very targeted feedback (b2b work) has allowed us to create what we know is the most powerful AI builder on the market, for the largest range of people. Developers and enthusiasts will be able to create whole AI products with this framework, and no-code enthusiasts will be able to make some outstanding AI Agents.
Good things take time, and as I said earlier, we should have communicated these steps more so you all understood our mentality better. I thought it was clear, but that is obviously not how everyone else felt. One of my favourite builders in this space, recently made a post about one of their features that was almost never used, but they believed it was important for their vision. 3 YEARS later, it is being used by some of the biggest companies around https://x.com/0xngmi/status/1959676386429575517. We have seen "competitors" come and go, in rapid succession these last few years. We were told as their market caps climbed we should be more like them, but in the end, they all fizzled out and their founder took the money and ran. Higher valuation leads to more people losing when the delivery is not made.
We are getting to the stage now, where the platform exists. The framework exists. This means, no matter what, we can keep pushing. We will not "run out" before getting to a massive milestone. We have been delivering, and are about to deliver some of our biggest updates.
Communication
Do you want to hear founder thoughts? Just updates on the platform? Where we are in the visions and constant next steps?
Should this be once per fortnight? Per week? 2x per week? Is it ok for the discord posts to be more casual, and leave X for the more growth and "advertising" narratives? You can let us know here: https://tally.so/r/npQeDb
Expect more rapid updates and more spaces to come and talk about the platform.
Skillful competes alongside billion dollar companies, and the time to recognise that is coming.
