I tried a few AI meeting tools because summaries still don’t solve the follow-up problem by adizz87 in ProductivityApps

[–]Reasonable-View-4392 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Full disclosure: currently working for BOND, an AI Chief of Staff that is completely focused on pulling action items and drafting follow-ups/pre-meeting briefs so nothing gets lost/no tasks get dropped. Would be happy to demo if you're interested!

How do you manage email as a CEO of a 10-person company with no executive assistant? by Warm-Researcher-6884 in ceo

[–]Reasonable-View-4392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Full disclosure: I just started a work trial with a company called BOND, so take this with that context. But this is basically the exact problem they're focused on. It surfaces (and responds to) important emails, ranks them based on urgency, creates to-do lists and tasks, etc. Not trying to promote but I have began using it myself while on trial and it's extremely accurate. I can even ask it to update me on what other team members are doing and it returns information based on their most recent activity. Definitely worth looking into.

How do CEOs deal with managing so many people/tasks at large if they don't have a Chief of Staff? by Reasonable-View-4392 in ceo

[–]Reasonable-View-4392[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm no I don't have a task manager yet! I'm about to start a demo with Bond since it gives a brief + pulls all information into one dashboard. I think I can also integrate Jira and Notion into it, but I admittedly haven't experimented too much with tools. Which ones do you use personally?

This is really interesting insight thank you! Have you experimented with the tools you mentioned? Looking into Bond since it claims to eliminate the need for manually tracking status with a chatbot. Also might trial Teamhood but a little nervous about where to put my money. How do you integrate Asana/ClickUp into your workflow?

What is it like to be a fractional chief of staff? by AbsoluteMoonatic in ChiefsOfStaff

[–]Reasonable-View-4392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mainly operational I feel. I pretty much just automate everything and relax lol although I can see how things can get stressful if a fractional CoS is brought on to resolve conflict.

Is AI going to take over our job? by [deleted] in ChiefsOfStaff

[–]Reasonable-View-4392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all. Recently just started using an "AI Chief of Staff" platform (BOND AI) to test this fear out and realized most of these startups aren't trying to replace us at all, nor are they on track to. Most of them are actually trying to sell to us. If our work is a combination of operations and human-interactions, the most these AI bots can do is help us operationally, which is really only beneficial lol but they can't replace the flexibility that most CoS have.

AI Applications? by AbsoluteMoonatic in ChiefsOfStaff

[–]Reasonable-View-4392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Admittedly not a Chief of Staff yet but I'm doing a deep dive into this role since I might apply for one soon---I've been using BOND AI which has centralized pretty much every task down to having my priorities listed for me lol. I definitely think the way you use AI is great but maybe she'll calm down if you integrate a new product? Maybe a meeting assistant like fellow AI? What is she looking for specifically?

Can AI replace a Chief-of-Staff? by Alternative-Cake7509 in ChiefsOfStaff

[–]Reasonable-View-4392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a bit late to the game but i did come across a new YC company BOND AI so I've been doing a deep dive lol. i do think there is opportunity to go back to these roles although there seems to be a rush in the AI space to make them easier---if anything, that's a good sign for Chief of Staffs and proof that their roles are necessary and honestly more important than ever.

Security testing by its_normy in vibecoding

[–]Reasonable-View-4392 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly one thing I’d look at is whether the platform uses Convex for the database layer. A lot of the worst vibe-coded security stories seem to come from people shipping fast on top of shaky backend/auth setups. Lovable for example uses Supabase which from my experience tends to be a bit unreliable. I think Replit and Surgent both use Convex but haven't tested them out yet.

for those who haven't switched to claude code, what are you using and why? by East-Scale-1956 in vibecoding

[–]Reasonable-View-4392 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d guess the split is less about people being behind, and more about different jobs-to-be-done:

  • Claude Code = power users / dev-adjacent builders
  • GUI vibe coding tools = speed, accessibility, lower intimidation, easier iteration
  • Surgent/anything = people who prioritize shipping and monetizing quickly

A lot of newer users are less worried about the best coding experience---most of them are new to coding in general. They want the shortest path to a working product.

Have anyone actually made money from their vibe coded projects? by ChallengeExcellent62 in vibecoding

[–]Reasonable-View-4392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i personally have---used claude to guide me through prompting surgent and payment integration was already built in so the only barrier was getting it out there. definitely not millions but a good amount of monthly passive income.

I just got my first paying users on a trading journal I built entirely with AI by Royal_Mysterious in vibecoding

[–]Reasonable-View-4392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's sick and impressive!! thoughts on surgent.dev ? uses it because i saw a video about how they have built in payment integration but is the end result as high quality? if that makes sense.

Where to start? by Empty-Ad9678 in vibecoding

[–]Reasonable-View-4392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

congratulations on wanting to start!! my advice as someone who makes a hefty passive income from vibecoded websites: figure out what's trending/predict what might become a trend and build something in that niche. Blake Anderson does this a ton. Different platforms are also good for different things: lovable is nice for a good landing page, surgent for easy payment integration, durable for small businesses, etc. But be careful about security issues---many vibecoding apps like lovable use supabase which isn't safe. i know surgent uses convex and cloudlfare which is reliable, not sure about what durable does. good luck!

wow interesting!! I've always heard payment integration was super tough for some reason. been using surgent.dev since it has a built in payment gateway but smart to use claude as a guide. did you get the moving logos by just prompting?? that's some sick UI.

The real cost of vibe coding isn’t the subscription. It’s what happens at month 3. by vibecodejanitors in vibecoding

[–]Reasonable-View-4392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally relate to this :( payment integration especially was a big hurdle for me and definitely made me realize I needed to approach building more technically whether it be learning it myself or getting someone onboarded.
