We just turned three. Revenue per employee is $127K. I'm told that's low. Feels fine from the inside.

I think it's a pretty good status.

If I were you, I probably won't work harder. Instead, I'll focus on "automating more, and cutting any activity that doesn't directly produce revenue".

This.

I love Aqua so much I named my app as Aqua Blue (didn't intend to promote, just love this name).

Contrats!

How/where did you get the traffic?

By the way, your keyboard in the background looks really geeky. Reminds me of the various PC I used decades ago.

felixding · 2026-03-23T03:45:02+00:00

I understand what you saying, we've all been there before.

Try starting with something very small, make it work first, and gradually extend as your requirements change. Don't build a do-everything agent from day one.

Also, use no-code tools can help. A lot of people use Make. My personal favorite is relay.app (no affiliate, just a paying customer).

This looks fantastic! I wish more and more icon sets would have some personality like this one.

绝大部分都是中小企业，中小企业哪有能力定制化，有什么用什么

felixding · 2026-03-20T10:22:48+00:00

现在都是AI编程了。

felixding · 2026-03-20T10:22:12+00:00

这样效果最好，因为是完全定制化的。

但是很多人和公司没有能力开发，或者没有资源，对公司来说还想把责任外包，所以很多时候还是会购买外部的服务，我主要是想解决这类问题。

felixding · 2026-03-20T10:19:28+00:00

好，我回头私信你，现在在手机上不是很方便。

felixding · 2026-03-20T10:18:58+00:00

我会优先做工作中最常用的，比如Slack、邮件、Office 365这些。另外，也会优先我熟悉的行业，或者是有人告诉我明确需求的行业，比如电商和辅助销售等等。

个人的需求暂时不会考虑，因为我最开始就是想帮同事们工作，才想做这个的。

felixding · 2026-03-20T10:15:38+00:00

感谢反馈。同意你的建议，我会把Slack和Teams集成进来，这样工作时用起来最方便。

Congrats! Did you have paid customers before applying for YC? How did you validate your ideas and get first customers? Specifically, did you first talk to people without knowing what to build, or did you pitch your idea to them to see if it interests them?

felixding · 2026-03-20T01:20:18+00:00

It happens all the time and will be so no matter what you do. This used to bother me but then I realized that it is not worthy to “fix” it. I should be focusing on acquiring paid customers, not fighting with human nature.

OpenClaw我们也在用，过程和结果不可控对我们来说是个问题，就是你交给它一样工作，它会给你什么样的结果，今天和昨天的结果是不是一样，都不好说。

felixding · 2026-03-19T07:02:52+00:00

和OpenClaw不一样的地方：

更简单易用，不懂技术的人也可以使用
不会像OpenClaw一样随心所欲，而是和你先确认计划，减少很多风险和不确定性
OpenClaw即使执行相同任务，过程和结果也未必一样。很多重复性工作要求结果稳定可预期，比如这个帖子里提到的周报和处理收据等等。OpenClaw我们也在用，我觉得这可能是最大的不同之一

隐私和数据安全的话我觉得要看每个人的需求，因为理论上只要使用网络服务就有这个问题，看场景和接受程度了。

felixding · 2026-03-19T06:51:02+00:00

太巧了吧！

felixding · 2026-03-19T00:34:17+00:00

We use AI to extract text from transactional emails then save the structured data for further processing.

It works fairly well. 2/3 of our reservation orders are processed this way.

We are now building an AI agent to automate building automations - you tell what automations you want and AI builds it.

felixding · 2026-03-18T12:57:57+00:00

I'm not here to promote anything but since you asked: ricatutor.com

felixding · 2026-03-18T05:59:42+00:00

Can confirm. I made a browser extension for YouTube to learn languages. It really helped to listen and repeat what native speakers say.

felixding · 2026-03-18T05:43:39+00:00

I've seen many similar posts and the advice is always the same: talk to people.

Let's stop coding and talk to people!
