room. While we are waiting for him to join, let me tell you about adquick. com. Out of home advertising made easy and measurable. Say goodbye to the headaches of out of home advertising. Only adqu combines technology. Out of home expertise and data to enable efficient, seamless ad buying across the globe.
Flo, how you doing? Sorry for keeping you waiting. What's new in your world? Yeah, good. Don't worry. Uh, I'm doing great. Uh, you know, it's a it's a good day to build B2B SAS. Yes, let's go. Let's hear it from BB SAS. Finishing out the show with some just amazing news. Tell me more. Yeah.
Uh we we just announced a VIP coder today. I just saw Olivia here. She mentioned Lovable and and Rocket and and a few of those. They've been blowing up. Uh what we announced today is is is a VI coder that can test its own work. Okay.
And it's kind of it's kind of insane to say it because like you would assume like of course you can, but actually none of those products check their work. Like imagine a software engineer that's just like here and it's like it doesn't work. Did you even test it? And like oh no I didn't do that.
So basically these vodels rely on you to to test the work yourself and then like work with them to debug it and it's like it ends up being a lot of and painful work.
Um we are you talking about are you talking about generating a test suite in code or spinning up a web browser and interacting with the with the vibe coded product? It's it's the latter. Thanks for asking. Is it okay if I share my screen? I feel like it'd be better. You can share your screen, but we are live.
So, anything you share will be shared with the internet for burned into the training data world manager. Please. Um, yeah, Vibe Code does something right now. Let's see. Live demos. They never go wrong. Well, I'm not I'm not going to do like a live live demo because it does take like three minutes or something.
So it' be a bit boring but like you know singular example uh built a scrabble checker and this is when we realized it's actually an emergent behavior that comes out of this agent that we gave a computer to. It was like all right I built this scrabble wheel checker for you. Uh I'm going to open it. Okay.
I'm going to type a wheel that exists like thunder. And yeah it tells me it's valid. Now I'm going to type a wheel that doesn't exist like ZQXW. And oops it tells me it's valid as well. Um I notice there might be an issue. It's showing ZQXW as valid even though it shouldn't been valid.
Let me fix the API to improve the validation. Fix the API. Try again. Doesn't work. Um okay. So that's it does have its own computer, its own browser, and it sees the work and can click around and and actually test its work. Yeah. Very cool.
Um what what do you think the landing uh the landing not landing page but like uh what do they call it like the like the the landing market the first the first like product market fit moment? Do you have any glimmers of hope? Like is this going to be used by restaurants who want to spin up a landing page?
That was kind of like the previous boom of it wasn't vibe coding but when you saw folks uh stand up landing pages with uh you know Squarespace or or any of those Weebly like there was a whole boom in that. It feels like there's another boom in in vibe coding right now.
Uh do you have expectations about where the sweet spot is? Because I I would imagine that people aren't going to build like, you know, they're they're not going to go out and raise a hundred million dollars for a company that's built on the back of a vibe coded solution. It's more of like a prototyping tool right now.
But then for small businesses, this could be something that they really rely on for a long time. Like talk to me about the shape of the early customer. I think that's actually the perception we're trying to fight.
I think the reason why VIP coding so far has been limited to these landing pages is because the tools have been so limited and landing pages are just like the the the fastest dumbest thing you can build.
Same for like this perception that like oh it's like a cute prototyping tool but you're not actually going to build your company on this. You know we we the thing that is unlocked by this new paradigm of something as simple as like testing your work. If you can't test your work you can only build very very simple stuff.
If you if you test your work, we're seeing instances of like this running for hours and building like one of the craziest examples we've built internally. We call it like Lindy BNB. So, it's like an Airbnb clone and it's functional.
Like you can you can select things, you can book them, you can put your place up for for for rent. Uh it's functional. Um you can you can sign in, you can sign up, it's got Google, it's got all of that stuff.
So, um, you know, we're actually seeing a lot of, so yes, we're seeing the landing pages, but now we're also seeing a lot of like internal tools. So, you're almost getting into like retool territory. Sure.
Because people are like, I'm just going to hook it up to my API and I'm going to build like oh calculators and like various internal tools for the for the team in like a couple of minutes. Yeah.
Do you think of this as like a separate product uh or does does this like kind of sit on top of everything that you've already built? Um, and can you is there a way to like hook in the traditional like lindies into what you're vibe coding?
No, it's it's super integrated with the rest of the product that we've built, which is like agents obviously. And so that's the whole value prop is like, hey, building your website is step one. Like once you've done that, you actually have to build the rest of your business.
Like I I joke like building your website is sort of the equivalent of getting your your your business cards. Like, okay, yeah, that you did that, now you need to like build a business.
So like now that you built your website, Lindy can like market it for you, find customers, do the entire customer support for you fully autonomously. I I have want to actually launch Lindybnb and have it fully because I've got enough of one business.
I don't want to run like Lindb, but have it fully managed my agents, you know, and see how far we can go. Yeah. Yeah, it's great. Uh yeah, keep sharing demos. I'm I'm excited to check them out. Anything else, Jordy? Yeah, just I I uh I'm interested.
you know, clearly I think it's almost contrarian at this point to launch another prompt to app builder, right? And and you're insanely uh insanely intentional about everything that you do. Um do you think that the category actually needs a bunch more people to try to be experimenting here? Right.
You see some of these revenue ramps. I think a lot of entrepreneurs would assume that the market is is run away. I should focus on something else. But you've clearly made a different decision. from the traction we're seeing there is plenty of room in this market.
I think it's it's like the very very very beginnings of this market as crazy as that sounds. Yeah. Also and you know we've not told that story yet to anyone. Uh the way this came about was like we actually built the V1 of this by accident.
So you know we had this released this release that like I went on the show a couple of weeks ago where we were like hey we gave a computer to Lindy and then we realized after we gave it to computer I was like oh [ __ ] it can build websites and you can QA them because that's what happens once you have a computer you can do everything.
So then we we've basically packaged it up and released it as as LD build and and improved it obviously but uh I think it's basically an emerging capability of the platform and the reason why we've decided to release it is like well one we were like [ __ ] it's it's already working and two we then started to look into uh the other products and we were like I can't believe none of them checks their own work like this is actually done that it's like a massive deal and and when we AB tested like okay same prompt on like lovable reply to Lindy this scrub example for example every VIP coder out there it's a simple example it's like a very mini app every single VIP coder got it wrong every single one including Lindy like it got it wrong first shot as you saw and then the difference is like Lindy then tried it on work saw that it got it wrong and fixed it so I I I think it's it's day one for this product that's very cool well congratulations on the launch keep us last uh last very quick question where are we on the Gartner hype cycle peak of inflated expectations trough of disillusionment, slope of enlightenment, or plateau of productivity.
I have this conversation every day with with a different friend. I I forgot the different labels here, but like look, you know, are it's basically are we are we are we coming down from the peak towards the trough or are we headed up the slope of enlightenment? I think we're heading up the slope of enlightenment. Wow.
Bullish. Bullish. Bull market continues. Very bullish. Very bullish. Very bullish. Well, thank you so much for hopping on. We'll talk to you soon. Have a great rest of your day. Thanks everyone. Bye. Cheers. Uh well, if you shout out to Ilhan Vani. Yes, shout out in the chat.
Yes, he is in Boston University at Boston University. Let's hear it for being watching with the coast. Five others having a window in Silicon Valley. Um
