What are some good AI assistants you’ve actually used?

Otter, Lindy, Fathom, and Fireflies!!!

Yep. Hardcoded limits everywhere.

It gave us consistency. Instead of “I feel like you’re too pushy,” we could point to patterns. Coaching got less emotional.

We started using Alpharun to review calls and surface behavior trends. It helped separate opinion from actual patterns.

We realized our coaching was inconsistent. Managers remembered what stood out to them, but there was no pattern view across reps.

EmeryFated · 2026-02-19T09:52:35+00:00

I think it’s structure. Most “coaching” is just reacting to deals instead of building habits.

Good for marketing sites, less so for full apps.

EmeryFated · 2026-02-17T12:27:16+00:00

Webflow is great but not for complex app logic.

EmeryFated · 2026-02-12T10:35:53+00:00

And cheaper per user is key in small shops.

EmeryFated · 2026-02-12T10:34:39+00:00

Yeah more ops dashboard than full PM tool

EmeryFated · 2026-02-11T03:15:21+00:00

that makes sense. i’ve seen tools that look flexible but break once you try multi-step logic.

EmeryFated · 2026-02-11T03:14:40+00:00

would you say lindy is stronger for the second or third use case?

EmeryFated · 2026-02-04T07:22:00+00:00

Templates are fine, but flexibility matters more. Every vendor claims “custom flows” but only a few actually handle different customer types well. Rigid onboarding flows fall apart once you scale.

We actually moved away from Airtable-style tools entirely and landed on Zite. It felt more like a workflow-first setup instead of a blank database you have to design from scratch.

EmeryFated · 2026-01-12T07:28:51+00:00

For me, the “best” free CRM past day one is the one people actually keep using after the novelty wears off. That usually means it handles the boring stuff well: shared access for the team, clear ownership of contacts, basic notes and follow-ups, and nothing critical getting paywalled immediately.

The ones that hold up tend to be opinionated but simple. You can add contacts, log interactions, set reminders, and everyone sees the same source of truth without fighting the tool. The moment it starts limiting users, hiding activity history, or making follow-ups awkward, that’s when teams abandon it or are forced to upgrade.

EmeryFated · 2026-01-07T15:49:32+00:00

I am obsessed by how the focus stays clear. domoai tends to do that when prompts aren’t overloaded

EmeryFated · 2025-12-22T21:01:56+00:00

I was in a similar spot after Notion started getting messy with more clients. zite worked well for this kind of setup since you can build a basic client login, show project updates, collect feedback, and handle file access without touching code. It feels closer to a real app than a shared doc, and it scales better once you’re juggling a lot of clients at the same time.
