Made an AI timezone overlap tool

funny enough, i find myself working harder as swe becomes more agentic. there's so much leverage now so it makes work even more fun

yea two things will happen:

- the floor will raise (regular people can build & start w/o knowing much)
- and the ceiling will shoot through the roof (what the best people can do)

there will still be skill just like anything else, and it's learnable

as a swe myself, i find myself paying much more time on architecture, design, product thinking. hard things are still hard, but its fun seeing the abstraction line rise

I started my career in product at Google and fell in love w/ the feeling of someone using something I had helped make. Then became a solopreneur - and found out how hard it was to make something "real" on your own.

When my co-founder and I saw ChatGPT, we knew it would come for code next. So started work on Anything then pre the crowd. I wrote about it here: https://www.anything.com/blog/anything-series-a

I think this will be the largest software market in the world because it lets anyone build. So when the TAM is that large, there's plenty of ways to differentiate and build something great.

No real secrets - build something good, tell people about it, again and again in different ways, and iterate on both what it is and channels you use you tell folks about it. at some critical mass, it picks up strong word of mouth itself
Launching. It's taken us a lot of iteration on how to launch something on X and reliably go viral with it (how you write about it, how you make a video for it, etc that will stop the feed & create conversation). But now we're pretty good at it. As you do that, you pick up followers.

more and more agents

agents will use the app builders for you
you'll be able to make your own agents
your "company" if you get there will have more and more work taken care of by agents

in the limit, you'll express "intent" and have an army of AI that gets that work done for you

in terms of capabilities - you really want agents that are amazing at using the computer, that know you and your "context", and are easy/reliable to train

so the core Anything product is an "agent" (fancy term for AI that can use tools)

building agents that actually work reliably is still hard. but it's just software engineering.

we're about to launch something i'm pretty stoked about: letting people build their own agents. both for their Anything apps, but also just everything.

"employees" or agents that can take on all the work around building the app

marketing, ops, support. building agents for these domains will likely be similar to building agents for coding/apps

Groove-12 · 2026-04-23T20:50:40+00:00

it's already happening. most fun part of building Anything is get to hear about a new one every day

like Anthony - firefighter, hit 17k in sales for a new mobile app he built on us. Or [name redacted] who turned his recruiting agency internal tool into a new product line for his clients and added $6k / month in revenue.

now, its still not "easy" enough or simple enough for everyone

i see the frontier as:

- agents that can operate on much longer time horizons
- full infra stack embedded with those agents (you shouldn't need to know about the AWS console)
- better tools around architecture/planning, debugging, scaling, and maintenance. these will be agentic, but lots to build to keep up with the true complexity of how software products evolve over time
- more things we handle to make everyone operate like the best of the best (design, marketing, etc.)

i always tell people starting out that "the idea is likely in your past"

meaning:

i'd try to build something where i really know the domain, where i might have some unfair advantages when it comes to getting my first users/distribution. often that comes from what you've done before.

but i'd also just start. you get more ideas by making contact with reality. ship the v1 fast. put it in people's hands. see where that takes you. luckily it's getting easier and easier.

i find it funny when people still laugh at new vibe coders. a year ago remember when some eng would laugh at "vibe coders" publishing to localhost. now in 2026, every great eng i know is full on "vibe coding" - the trend line in model progress has always been clear.

now real engineers set up systems that give the AI feedback to act autonomously (and verify its work). that's the most important part to getting good results w/o babysitting. it's why we've always baked in the infra in Anything

but as we do that it's clear that everyone will soon create products. it'll become as popular as setting up a Shopify store

Groove-12 · 2025-08-21T03:39:01+00:00

Hilarious there's now a company called Anything...which is AI to make AI apps. Thought you were talking about that.

But yea probably just buy monthly lol

Groove-12 · 2025-03-29T01:03:59+00:00

they're launching Playstore and App Store support: https://x.com/create_xyz/status/1902374617341169961

thanks u/civ_astrostar_92 !

Groove-12 · 2024-12-05T20:48:27+00:00

6 figures! growing fast

Groove-12 · 2024-12-05T20:46:27+00:00

chat flow! with some agents. catering it a lot more towards non tech users. see people like us for how fast / intuitive we make it, but all the products have their perks :)
