I'm excited to finally share what we've been working on!
For the last 8 months, we've been building Biscuit: an all-in-one platform for building a business. Product, payments, emails, hosting and operations built in.
Today we're opening the waitlist 🎉

Agents explain things in walls of text. 📃
You ask how a system works, how a bug happens, or what a plan looks like, and you get twelve paragraphs back.
So I built ttmi.ai. Your agent draws what it’s explaining instead: youtube.com/watch?v=PSQEYQm7…

Say hello to Brand Studio in Biscuit 🎉
You describe your idea, then pick a name and a logo. After that we build three complete design directions and you choose one.
The fun part is how different they come out. A landing page for popup store waitlists got back a loud orange market stall, and a quiet editorial page with a serif and one photo. Same prompt, same product.
Before you commit you can shuffle the layout, swap the colors, ask for a similar style or just hit "surprise me".
Then whichever one you pick becomes the direction every other screen gets built from.

With Biscuit we have a durable execution system where we run the agent harness in the browser, and hand it over to a server when the browser tab closes.
Now someone talked to Biscuit in Slack, and since I had the project open, my browser tab ran the agent harness and answered 😂

Excited about input.so the first great agentic email app, that looks fantastic.
DM @krijnrijshouwer for early access
We now simulate TIME(!) in our tests in Biscuit. Our QA agents and integration tests will make this work automatically.

I've always wanted a tool that gives me inspirations for the hero of a landing page and let me iterate easily. And be fast. like really fast! So I am building one! You describe what you want, it generates a hero with image, typography, layout, all composed together in a few different aesthetic directions. Then you iterate: swap fonts, adjust colors, regenerate the image, whatever you need.
Worked for a loooong time on a huge update for Biscuit, and shipped it yesterday. This is the kind of feedback that then makes my day 😄

Let's just say @linear wanted a public roadmap product for startups (let's just say that!), they could've shipped it in @Biscuit_so in minutes
The great thing about the Slack UX is that it's simple by default: just a chat.
But then you can thread into messages, which adds a horizontal layer which is great for agents.
In Biscuit the chat is more like a task with threads, but I'm tempted to make it more like Slack.

AI will bring forth an unprecedented surge in entrepreneurship.
From 'solopreneurs,' to the revitalization of the small & medium business segment, to the emergence of the largest companies of our times… providing the foundation of it all.
This was the best introduction to the Vue community I could hope for. That was such a warm welcome!
Where it all began.. but some stories deserve one more chapter 👀

I loved this talk!
Chat is not the final UX for agents, software should feel like something you can shape easily, like clay.
AI made this much easier and faster, and there's a wealth of undiscovered UX for building products assisted by AI... AI assisted direct manipulation.
