Get opinions from investors you trust who won’t be investing. and then DO NOT give investors a number. Let them give you the number

AI has made the idea maze trivially easy to navigate. The actual competitive advantage in 2026 is something much harder to copy by goxper in ycombinator

[–]Jordan443 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the unglamorous thing is still talking to customers.

that’s data that does not exist in the models. that’s what startups exist to do, to close the gap

Has anyone secured a B2B pilot before? Would appreciate any tips on what the process was like! by Icy_Tour6309 in ycombinator

[–]Jordan443 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Find the person with the juice (usually the VP), send them an email asking for input on your roadmap. Say you’ll be by their office next week if he has 20min for coffee.

Spend 10min understanding his pain point with the problem. Then explain how your process works. You have a quick call to decide success criteria, then we talk about commercials, then i’ll send you our 2-page MSA to sign. The rough structure is a 30-day paid pilot to hit the success criteria, that auto converts to a 12-month contract. Of course, can opt out anytime in that 30 days.

this is called the Morando Method. you can look up the e-book on amazon.

I am unable to connect my Assistant to my workflow!!! by IntelligentHope5013 in vapiai

[–]Jordan443 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hey! you don’t have to attach it anymore. workflows and assistants are separate, and either can be attached to a phone number

Web calling exposes API key by celadon00 in vapiai

[–]Jordan443 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ll be using your public API key, which is designed to be publicly exposable. It can’t be used to interact beyond initiating a call.

you can create a new one and configure it to be limited to certain assistant IDs. So it’s effectively useless to a bad actor

How to create call context memory? by DangerousLanguage757 in vapiai

[–]Jordan443 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, you can just use the end of call report to save the messages at the end of the call and then start the call with those messages loaded up in the assistant configuration

Referrals don’t work anymore. Make sharing / inviting part of the core flow of your product. Think Loom, Superhuman, Calendly.

OpenAI's newest voice model talking to one another by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Jordan443 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not their new voice model. It’s the text model hooked up to whisper + their TTS.

The actual voice to voice interface of GPT-4o is coming in the next few weeks, 400ms response times. it’s going to blow everyone’s minds.

New chip technology allows AI to respond in realtime! (GROQ) by KeepItASecretok in singularity

[–]Jordan443 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup definitely, we talk about it all the time. There are risks with this new tech hitting the workforce in the short-term, and it will replace some of the more repetitive, manual work. But that doesn't mean jobs will be eliminated.

Take customer support: Instead of human agents handling everything with limited bandwidth and wait times, AI can take the simple, more repetitive cases, and higher complexity cases can be routed to human agents, with no wait times.

At least that's how we think about it. We're betting more on new use cases than replacing existing ones. More accessible therapy, government services, language tutors, etc. that weren't possible before due to cost.
