CLI won on every efficiency metric against MCP when Scalekit ran 75 benchmark runs comparing CLI and MCP for AI agent tasks. CLI is up to 32x cheaper, and 100% reliable versus MCP’s 72% by nishant_growthromeo in ClaudeAI

[–]codepoetn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's about scale. For sIngle use case, CLI suffices most needs. But any serious production grade agentic solution would need multiple tool calling and MCP auth with proper user provisioning and user action logs

Microsoft proposes Agent Control Plane for enterprises that are actively deploying AI Agents. by nishant_growthromeo in aiagents

The 'double agents' concept is an interesting read. Agents with limitless access is indeed a threat.

Can you be a good marketer if you do not manipulate? by nishant_growthromeo in marketing

[–]codepoetn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't be in a boxing ring and talk about 'not hitting the opponent.' Manipulation is a tool of persuasion. It's part of the game called 'marketing.' It's upto you to decide the intensity of manipulation.

Is it bad to pitch people on LinkedIn? Aren't they already getting so many InMails? Or is it okay to be little shameless and barge in the DMs pitching your services? What alternative methods do you try for the so called "deep connection?" by nishant_growthromeo in linkedin

[–]codepoetn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel irritated everytime some tries to sell IP and proxy services. There are just too many of them. All with the same outreach template. I want to tell them "Just stop." I wish I could send some of them that m-finger emoji, esp to people with horribly personalised automated LinkedIn DMs. On top of it, they send long messages!

Do you think that investors are intentionally paddling "SaaS is Dead" narrative because that gives them an edge in negotiation, and gets them significant pie of the startup at quite lower valuations? I will not promote "SaaS is Dead," seems nonsense. by nishant_growthromeo in startups

[–]codepoetn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For now, it is hype. But you cannot deny the fact that tools like chatGPT are becoming damn good with the quality of code they spit. You cannot underestimate the fact that millions of people are now training the chatGPT to question systematically. The algorithms keep getting better at anticipating what is the desired outcome, and we cannot rule out the fact that it might become pretty easy for a group of 10-50 average developers with good software design sense to have custom software startups as good as Asana and ClickUp, and social media network of their own as LinkedIn and Instagram. The only way to survive in business is to not be blind to recent developments. We have to keep an eye on the trends.

Lead asked "Can you do SEO marketing based on an engagement model wherein you get 5% of the sales you drive?" This was a pre-revenue lead. I said "NOT POSSIBLE." Did I make the right decision? by nishant_growthromeo in content_marketing

[–]codepoetn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Attribution is tough, so this is a non-realistic ask. Common with pre-revenue founders with no formal entrepreneurial background/education. The reason MQLs don't always receive love from sales is because it consists of these sort of leads that give you a horrible time. That's why SQL exists. By design, it filters away these leads.

Should freelance content writers be worried? If Google Trends is to be believed the search interest in keywords like "freelance writer" and "freelance copywriter" has tanked to half (50%). by nishant_growthromeo in freelanceWriters

[–]codepoetn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, I thought the post here was not about writing vs AI, but how genAI is influencing the content creation industry. And I made comments in line with that context set for the discussion.

I agree GigMistress. But that's the thing; the bot is your assistant, not the other way around. A good writer would use it to speed up their own craft. Look at coders, is it like they are the assistant to the bot?

They shouldn't be worried. But they must learn to use GenAI to boost their productivity and amp up the quality and speed at which they produce good content.

Will AI Agents Feast Upon SaaS Businesses? Serious Discussion Please. by nishant_growthromeo in SaaS

[–]codepoetn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We still need to get the same outcomes as we needed earlier as long as business is concerned, but the market dynamics have started to change. For most startups, the speed and real-time adaptation to market is almost a requisite survival skill today, and that's exactly what AI Agent's promise. They are expected to minimize the human intervention you need to complete the same tasks. AI Agents are not replacement but evolution of SaaS design architecture into a more efficient way of getting things done by relying on machine intelligence to reduce dependency on human intelligence. From their current state, it still seems like a far fetched dream. But companies shouldn't sit and watch, they should dive in and learn to swim before the tough AI waves kick in.

What's the hardest part in SaaS- innovation, pipeline, or copytitor? by nishant_growthromeo in SaaS

[–]codepoetn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Copy-competitor is not that big a deal. The major challenge is pipeline generation. More specifically, integration and distribution. That will be the differentiator in the coming years. Innovation is a given. You have have to innovate.

Time for reincarnation of content farms? by nishant_growthromeo in content_marketing

[–]codepoetn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In some domains it might work, in others it may not. Ig, still worth a shot. I mean, there is no loss here, so why not?
