๐Ÿ“š Readwell is building the IMDb for books โ€” with AI on top

Picking a new book takes effort. Movies last two hours. Books take days. And if you're the kind who has to finish, a bad pick hurts even more.

Thatโ€™s why Readwell is gaining traction โ€” itโ€™s like IMDb, but for books, powered by AI.

๐Ÿ”ธ Snap a photo of your bookshelf to get instant AI-curated picks
๐Ÿ”ธ Get a โ€œRead Match Scoreโ€ to see how well a book fits your vibe
๐Ÿ”ธ Search by mood, idea, or theme โ€” not just genre or author
๐Ÿ”ธ Skip long reviews โ€” AI summaries give you the core in seconds
๐Ÿ”ธ Build and share smart book playlists with friends

Goodreads may own the UGC side of the market, but lacks the AI ease-of-use modern readers expect. If Readwell can scale, it might win the crowd that just wants fast, smart book recs โ€” no friction, no fluff.

Whatโ€™s your go-to for picking your next read โ€” an app, a friend, or GPT?

๐Ÿง  Top 5 prompts to get better results from ChatGPT

Simple tweaks in how you ask can turn basic answers into powerful insights.

Here are 5 prompts that upgrade your conversations with AI:

๐Ÿ”ธ โ€œLetโ€™s think about this differentlyโ€ โ€” avoids generic replies
๐Ÿ”ธ โ€œWhat am I missing here?โ€ โ€” surfaces hidden angles
๐Ÿ”ธ โ€œBreak it down step by stepโ€ โ€” gives full process, not just the answer
๐Ÿ”ธ โ€œWhat would you do in my position?โ€ โ€” adds clarity when you're stuck
๐Ÿ”ธ โ€œWhat else should I know?โ€ โ€” captures blind spots you didnโ€™t consider

Save this list โ€” and use it often.

โญ•๏ธ Why Smart Startups Use Growth Loops, Not Funnels

Funnels worked when ads were cheap. Push users in, optimize conversion, repeat. But todayโ€™s growth environment is different โ€” CAC is high, privacy changes killed targeting, and funnels leak.

Thatโ€™s why the best startups now build growth loops.

A growth loop is a system where every user action creates value that brings in the next user. Itโ€™s not push โ€” itโ€™s pull. Calendly links, Loom videos, GPTs, Substack posts โ€” each one spreads the product by being used.

You donโ€™t need a new ad budget every month. You need a loop that spins on its own.

๐Ÿงญ The 7 Growth Loop Archetypes

๐Ÿ”ธ Viral โ€” users share content that attracts others (TikTok, Spotify)

๐Ÿ”ธ Referral โ€” incentives drive invites (Dropbox, Revolut)

๐Ÿ”ธ Usage-based โ€” every use exposes new users (Loom, Calendly)

๐Ÿ”ธ UGC โ€” users create content that brings in more (Reddit, Substack)

๐Ÿ”ธ Collaboration โ€” team tools that spread through invites (Notion, Figma)

๐Ÿ”ธ Sales-led โ€” revenue funds sales, which closes more revenue (Salesforce)

๐Ÿ”ธ Product-led โ€” the product expands through usage alone (Slack, ChatGPT)


Funnels convert.
Loops scale.


If your product can generate new users through use โ€” you build a loop.
And loops are how you survive a high-CAC world.

๐Ÿ’กInvestor fear beats investor love

Your goal isnโ€™t to be liked by investors.
Your goal is to make them afraid to miss you.

You want them thinking:
Damn, if we donโ€™t invest, this might become the next Uber โ€” and weโ€™ll have missed it.


Hereโ€™s how to create that fear ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿ”ธ Make capital look secondary
Your biggest lever should be under your control โ€” not in their wallet.

๐Ÿ”ธ Deliver a bold, believable vision
Founders must paint the future so well that investors feel behind.

๐Ÿ”ธ In-house technical skill
No outsourcing. You should be able to build it yourself.

๐Ÿ”ธ Have the MVP already
โ€œIf we get funding, weโ€™ll build itโ€ puts you in a weak position. Build first.

๐Ÿ”ธ Get 100 people who love it
Nothing scares a VC more than proof that youโ€™ve already won your niche.

Based on a talk by Michael Seibel, Y Combinator.


Use it as a checklist if the moneyโ€™s not coming.

๐Ÿš• Pony AI goes 24/7 with robotaxis in three major cities

Unlike Teslaโ€™s zigzagging path to full autonomy, Chinaโ€™s Pony AI is moving steadily. In Beijing, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou, the last restriction on commercial robotaxi service has been lifted โ€” they now operate 24/7, including overnight hours.

Thatโ€™s a big step: night coverage improves access for users and signals real confidence in the tech.

๐Ÿ”ธ 50M km driven fully autonomously
๐Ÿ”ธ Fleet to exceed 1,000 vehicles by year-end
๐Ÿ”ธ Coverage expanded across three of Chinaโ€™s biggest urban markets

Meanwhile, the rest of the world is still stuck in the sandbox.

๐Ÿง  The Perplexity story: From DeepMind intern to Googleโ€™s challenger

Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas is quietly building what Google once dreamed ofโ€”an โ€œanswer engineโ€ that replaces search.

And the industry is starting to notice.

๐Ÿ”ธ Srinivas grew up in the same Indian city as Sundar Pichaiโ€”his childhood hero
๐Ÿ”ธ Inspired by Googleโ€™s origin story, he started Perplexity after a stint at DeepMind
๐Ÿ”ธ Unlike OpenAI, the team refused to build their own modelโ€”focusing instead on product and UX
๐Ÿ”ธ Their AI-native browser Comet is gaining traction with early adopters
๐Ÿ”ธ Investors now value the company at $18B, while acquirers circle

Perplexity may be the most credible threat to Googleโ€™s search empireโ€”and itโ€™s still playing the long game.

๐Ÿซ‚How small teams build big revenue

A new report from Growth Unhinged breaks down how early-stage SaaS startups structure their teams.

The takeaway?
You donโ€™t need a huge headcount to hit $1M ARR.

Startups under $1M typically run lean โ€” with just 7 people.
Thatโ€™s your classic "two-pizza team."

Hereโ€™s what that usually looks like:
๐Ÿ”ธ 3 engineers
๐Ÿ”ธ 1 product/design
๐Ÿ”ธ 1 sales
๐Ÿ”ธ 1 support
๐Ÿ”ธ 1 admin/ops

Some skip marketing hires early on โ€” founders often handle GTM themselves. Others outsource one-off tasks instead of hiring full-time.

The key is not just who you hire, but how clearly each role maps to revenue. If a founder understands that every teammate should drive profit, not just burn cash โ€” investors will notice.

๐Ÿ“ฃ Why Sam Altman Says You Shouldnโ€™t Track User Growth Early On

In the early stages of a startup, itโ€™s not about how many users you have โ€” itโ€™s about how much they love your product.

Altman explains why obsession with absolute growth is a mistake, and what you should focus on instead:

๐Ÿ”ธ A small group of obsessed users is better than a wide pool of casual ones
๐Ÿ”ธ Deep engagement signals product-market fit more than raw numbers
๐Ÿ”ธ Retention and frequency are your best early metrics
๐Ÿ”ธ Word-of-mouth is the ultimate validation

Almost all great companies start with a product that a few people love.
