I just built a tool in 20 minutes that saved my team $5,000 

By last month, we were wasting 15+ hours a week just tracking leads and updating spreadsheets.

So I asked myself: "Why are we doing manually what a computer can do in minutes?"

I opened Replit, typed exactly what I needed in plain English, and 30 minutes later:

Our automated CRM was live

➡️ Slack notifications for every lead 
➡️ Google Drive reports generated automatically 
➡️ Insights we used to make decisions daily 

No dev team. 
No APIs. 
No headaches.

Result? 
Our workflow went from messy → money-making machine in less than a day.

If I can build this in 20 minutes… imagine what you could create for your business.

I didn’t plan to start my day with goosebumps 
But today’s newspaper changed everything…

Today I woke up, saw the newspaper and the first thing I saw was this:
It’s Rajinikanth’s 75th birthday.

And yes, I knew it was his birthday.
I was expecting tributes…
But I definitely wasn’t expecting something this massive, this heartfelt, this historic.

A full-page celebration that felt bigger than news it felt like a national moment.

And suddenly, I was 10 years old again… 
Watching my family turn every Rajini release into a full-blown celebration.
Back then, I didn’t know why it felt magical today I finally do.
Some people entertain us.
Some people define the whole ERA!

Rajinikanth didn’t just create movies.
He created a national emotion.

And today?
OTTplay literally declared 12/12 as Rajinikanth Day.

This wasn’t marketing.
This was fandom → culture → legacy happening in front of us.

I grew up watching Rajini turn screens into celebrations.
So seeing a tech-driven platform honour him like this?
This hit really different.

Because cinema isn’t just what we watch
it’s what we carry.

And Rajinikanth?
He’s the rare phenomenon who still unites generations with one name.

Beautiful initiative. Perfect tribute to legend.
Happy #RajinikanthDay.

The AI infrastructure race isn’t coming, it’s here.

The infrastructure layer is being rebuilt for AI, agents, and a new kind of cloud.

So we’re hosting our inaugural Daytona COMPUTE Conference on the Warriors’ home court, bringing 1,500 builders together.

I swear, some marketing teams are doing overtime… and then there’s Shaadi.com, casually dropping the cleanest integration of the year in Family Man S3.

Guy puts “FWB” on his profile,
and confidently says that it means: “Family Wale Boys.” 💀💀
But this tiny moment?

Made all viewers subconsciously align on one thing:

FWB officially means Family Wale Boys.

Tell me that isn’t elite positioning.

This is the kind of marketing I love,
smart, subtle, and so natural that you don’t even realize it worked… until it’s everywhere.

Sometimes you don’t need a 60-sec ad.

You just need one confused family wala boy and a legendary misunderstanding.

Everyone is building AI agents.
Few are building ones that get paid.

2️⃣ Integrate Stripe in a few clicks: charge for onboarding, unlock premium features, monetize workflows

3️⃣ Launch it instantly: your agent starts working for you from day one
