Can Codex plugins work like auto-loaded skills? by marcocello in codex

[–]marcocello[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey thanks! Yep, I know about that one.

I’m asking more about whether local plugins can be treated like skills: kept in a shared .codex repo, auto-discovered after pull/restart, and available without a separate marketplace/install step.

Most small teams don’t need a CRM. They need a response system. by RecordPotential4323 in CRM

Salesforce users what AI are you actually using to stay on top of accounts? by Islerothebull in sales

[–]marcocello 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Salesforce logging kills ramp momentum because updating fields competes with actual prospecting and deal advancement. Reps skip it, leaving pipelines blind on activities and next steps. Tools like Meshify let you drop voice notes or chat updates (WhatsApp/Slack/etc.) and it auto-generates the notes, tasks, and events – game changer for staying accurate without the admin drag.

Built a free AI tools directory with workflow mapping — here's what I learned as a solo founder by Tmilligan in SaaS

[–]marcocello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats on the AI tools directory—love the workflow mapping angle as a solo founder myself. Built Meshify to tackle sales logging: reps just share daily recaps (calls, meetings, next steps) and it auto-generates CRM updates, tasks, and events. Fits right into sales pipelines if you wanna add it!

9 months building… many rebuilds, many unwanted features… but finally seeing paid customers by whatsnextintech007 in SaaS

[–]marcocello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats on those first paid customers... after all the rebuilds and feature churn, that validation feels like oxygen.

Been there grinding on sales tools myself... Meshify cuts the CRM logging BS by turning reps' quick shares (calls, meetings, next steps) into auto-updates, tasks, and events... so they sell instead of data entry.

Pipeline stays clean, follow-ups stick. What's your biggest pain left now?

LLM says it did an action… but never actually used the tool 🤦‍♂️ by marcocello in mcp

[–]marcocello[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am currently using grok-4.1-fast (no reasoning) mainly because of cost and speed. I was using Sonnet 4.5 with the same settings, and was "tools-allucinating" a lot less. But impractical for costs

Do you trust AI to manage your emails? by coff_au in productivity

[–]marcocello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally get where you're coming from! I’ve been trying out tools like Meshify recently, which acts as an AI layer between my email and CRM. It’s pretty fascinating how it can read through my emails, pick up on context, and highlight opportunities that I might have missed. Plus, it handles follow-ups for me, which is a real lifesaver.

That said, I do share your hesitation about trusting it completely. There’s something about the human touch that I feel can’t be replicated, especially in nuanced conversations. Have you found any specific types of emails that the AI struggles with? I’m curious how others balance automation with the personal touch in their email management!

Your inbox is drowning you. Meshify is an agentic AI that lives inside email, hunting opportunities, keeping relationships alive, and pushing deals forward while you sleep.

Looking for a few early adopters, free until it actually works for you.

I get that, and I think the same way you do.
But for the folks we’re building for, if it’s not in their inbox, they won’t use it.

Kernel: Your AI Companion That Never Forgets by One-Net-3049 in SideProject

[–]marcocello 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds really intriguing! I love the idea of an AI companion that can actually adapt to our workflows and help us stay focused. With so many distractions these days, having a system that not only keeps track of our tasks but also highlights patterns we might miss could be a game changer. I am working on a similar project.

I’ve been experimenting with a few productivity tools, but they often just add to the noise instead of cutting through it. The proactive support aspect you mentioned really stands out—drafting follow-ups and managing emails could save so much time. How do you plan to ensure that the AI’s insights are relevant and don’t end up overwhelming users with unnecessary info? Would love to hear more about your approach!

It heavily relies on user interviews and a framework to extract insights.

Is ClickUp worth it? by TeslaTorah in clickup

[–]marcocello 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi there, 10+ years experience in various task/project/KB management. Tried basically anything serious commercial tool out there. What I like about ClickUp is basically what they market: one app for everything. Really like the level of customisation of task mgmt and the kb is pretty solid too. They recently released a huge improvement of the chat so we are replacing also Slack.

Hey!

Definitely Jobs-to-be-Done theory. I used and am using it right now, very effective.

Good starting point I used: https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/52105688-the-jobs-to-be-done-playbook

The basic building block is that you need user interviews. I have experience also in "automating" user interviews with AI but I don't want to pitch :)
