Amazon loves to manufacture an event. March is historically a dry spell for deals; however, with Amazon’s third annual Big Spring Sale, which starts today and runs through March 31st, the retail behemoth is hoping to lure in would-be shoppers with the promise of steep(ish) savings and discounts on more seasonal, spring-centric items to hold […]
Amazon’s third annual Big Spring Sale might be a great opportunity to pick up a color ebook reader or an RGB-equipped table lamp, but the pickings are slimmer when it comes to noise-canceling headphones. Sure, the Sony WH-1000XM6 are just over $60 off, though I’d argue the Sonos Ace are a better deal, given they’re […]
Anthropic finds AI isn’t replacing jobs yet, but early data shows growing inequality as experienced users gain an edge, raising concerns about future displacement and workforce divides.
operator23 lets non-technical operators describe a workflow in plain English and run it across their tool stack, hubspot, apollo, monday, google drive and others. no builder, no if-then config, just a description and a review step before anything runs.
We talked to marketing ops people recently to validate whether we are solving the right problems. Three things came up every single time.
Setup complexity. People are not afraid of automation in theory. They are afraid of spending two hours configuring conditions and field mappings, only to have something silently misroute. The config layer is where confidence dies.
Debugging. When a workflow breaks there is usually no explanation. A trigger did not fire, data passed null downstream, a sequence stopped. You find out three weeks later when someone downstream asks a question. Nobody knows where it went wrong so they delete it and go back to doing it manually.
No trust without control. Everyone wanted to keep a review step before the system acts on its own. Not forever, but until it had proven itself across enough edge cases. The unlock for automation adoption is not fewer steps, it is making it safe to delegate gradually.
What we are building is a system that addresses all three. Plain English input so setup is fast, step-by-step explanations so debugging is readable, and staged autonomy so trust is earnable.
For founders who have built or managed GTM and marketing ops teams: does this match what you have seen. And is there a fourth problem we are missing.

Spotify is beta-testing a new feature called Artist Profile Protection that lets artists review releases before they go live. Sometimes songs end up on the wrong artist pages because of metadata mixups or shared names. But increasingly, artists have been targeted by impostors and AI-generated fakes. Profile Protection offers a buffer against bad actors. Everyone […]
