“AI agents went from about 12% success on real computer tasks a year ago to 66% now. This is agents actually navigating software. They're clicking through forms. They're pulling data. They're finishing multi step jobs in real systems. 66% is not good enough to let something completely loose unsupervised, but it's good enough for giving an agent a really narrow bounded job and checking its work, making sure that it's getting stuff done faster.”

“Cerebras has just filed to go public. They have a deal with OpenAI that's reportedly worth more than $10,000,000,000. Their CEO, Andrew Feldman, went on record saying, 'NVIDIA didn't want to lose the fast inference business at OpenAI, and we took that from them.' If even a slice of their inference workload is moving to Cerebras, I think that is the first real crack in NVIDIA's monopoly at the frontier.”

“Because I had built this image of I am the General AI Proficiency Institute, and not only that, I'm a.org, right? And there's just this added level of trust to a.org and an institute and whatever, and it enabled me to get the big deals with businesses. They said, oh, well you obviously are an institute. Yeah, we'd love to work with you. I mean, I got those kinds of things. I had governments from Australia reach out to me and say, hey, seems like you're the worldwide standard on this.”

“It’s strategy, transformation and education. I was already doing that education piece a bunch, right? I had been teaching people and coming in and helping them get up to speed. But I also had been doing strategy as well with a lot of these CEOs before a call or before an education seminar thing I would do with people. I would sit down with the CEO and having, I had the benefit of again, having been a CEO for a decade and so I had experience, I had ideas, I could actually consult at a decently high level.”

“Worldwide app releases in 2026 are up 60% year over year across both Apple's App Store and Google Play. And on iOS specifically, it's up 80%. I think vibe coding is working. Claude Code, Replit, all of these tools have gotten so good that people with ideas and no engineering background are shipping apps. Right now, I believe it truly is the gold rush, and the App Store is basically benefiting in a huge way.”

“Like you can literally vibe code a solution. You might have a task that was going to take you six hours, but instead you could take 30 minutes and vibe code a tool that will do that task for you. And you may never use that piece of software again, right? But you wouldn't think like that back in 2020, right? Or before vibe coding was a thing, right? Back when I started my company in 2016, that was not an option for me.”

“I eventually found out, okay, companies really need not just some training and education and show them what to do. They need somebody that is embedded into their company, that is following up regularly and becoming part of that company. And so I built this fractional Chief AI officer model. And the cool thing about that, and that I knew as an entrepreneur was super valuable, was this recurring revenue element.”

“I really just looked at what would they have to pay if they were bringing someone internal, right? You know, I believe that every company, every single company should have somebody in charge of AI. Somebody needs to be in charge of AI and their job is to go around and keep people accountable. In order for me to actually provide ongoing support, and really this is what drove it in the beginning. In order for me to actually provide ongoing support, it's got to be worth my time. So I'm going to charge it at a good employee, 15K a month to start.”

“So we've turned the corner of saying, okay, yes, this STE model still is there, but now it is assisted by software. Now we really believe that GenAIPI becomes the AI infrastructure for our clients. And that becomes also much stickier. No one wants to turn that off. It takes time to get it integrated into the systems and to work with NetSuite versus QuickBooks versus this system and HubSpot versus Salesforce, and you have to do some connections and things like that.”

“We're sitting at about 4.5 million in annual recurring. I started this business with just $400. As a one man band, I was able to take it by myself with all of my AI tools to a million bucks. Let me just tell you exactly how to do this, right? And everyone's looking for, well, what do I do? How do I do it? Here's my process.”

“It was literally the same day I had received this proposal from this dev shop in Ukraine for $105,000. They had actually sent over, we'd already done some architecture discussions and they'd sent over a PDF with a proposal, but here's how we're going to build the whole thing. And so I was like, I wonder if I could just drop this PDF into Replit. So I just drag it in and said, build this. And 10 minutes later, I had, you know, at least the first version, that preview.”

“Something that shocked me, absolutely shocked me, is that Anthropic has just passed OpenAI in annualized revenue. The run rate is $30,000,000,000 at Anthropic. That's about $25,000,000,000 over at OpenAI. Anthropic was at roughly $9,000,000,000 in annualized revenue at the 2025. They hit $20,000,000,000 in early March and 30,000,000,000 in early April. Since December till now, we go from 9,000,000,000 to 30,000,000,000. This is the absolute greatest run ever.”

“They are discontinuing Sora. We've talked about this a ton, but the app officially closes on April 26. They peaked at around a million users, then it collapsed under 500,000 while they were burning somewhere between a million and $15,000,000 a day in compute depending on which report you believe. Then on basically the same day, the shutdown timeline locked in, OpenAI lost three of their major executives.”
