Big week for @NooksHQ and we're still shipping! Great to sit down with @GTMnow_ just moments before.
BREAKING: Nooks launches Agent Workspace and AI Sequencing products. These are designed to operate across the full action set of a rep’s day — calls, emails, research, prospecting, and strategy. Meaning, they’re taking on legacy incumbent companies… an increasingly common theme across AI-native startups. I sat down with @_dan_lee_ (Co-Founder & CEO at @NooksHQ) to go deep on the launch and the impact that AI is having on sales. Highlights: 00:00 – Announcing the Agent Workspace and AI sequencing product 01:25 – Why sales is fundamentally human (even in the AI era) 04:14 – The sales chess analogy: understand the board before making the move 06:00 – Nooks as a simulation engine: suggesting next best move 10:00 – Why calls are the most data-rich outbound channel 13:12 – The sales iceberg analogy: what's above vs. below the surface 14:15 – Doing more with less vs. doing more with more 18:53 – How Nooks learns from rep decisions over time 22:17 – Evolution from virtual classroom to virtual sales floor 27:03 – Nooks' six core values 27:57 – "Ask why" as a core operating principle 28:39 – Ruthless prioritization as a startup advantage 30:07 – Making sales sexy for top engineers

Every technological leap creates a new workspace. GUI created the desktop. Cloud created the browser. Coding has Cursor. And now today, GTM has @nooksHQ

Since we released our latest video (check it out below 👇), everybody's asked us: "Does Nooks create magic floating portals to teleport to the office?" Nope. (But it's on our roadmap 😉) You'll 𝑓𝑒𝑒𝑙 like it does, and isn't that what's important? youtu.be/NX1eKLReSpY

We're building a new category called continuous communication! It's automating the information streams during the software release process so internal teams can deliver on a unified customer experience. Latest blog post talks about the concept here: makelog.com/blog/startups-em…

The big "aha!" I had working w/ @JoinNooks team wasn't about any particular collaboration modality. It was about how young people want to work and feel part of something. I'm inspired by this young team nooks.in/a-tool-for-the-new-…

@_dan_lee_ was a superstar intern on my team who later went on to found @JoinNooks shortly afterward. I'm impressed to see how far they've come in such little time. This is a milestone for remote work. Excited for its future! 🚀
When the world turned upside down last year, I dropped out of Stanford with a few friends to solve a seemingly-ubiquitous problem Today, I'm excited to launch @JoinNooks - a faster, more human way to work. See more on how & why 👇 nooks.in/how-to-give-your-te…

In September last year, I dropped out of Stanford🌲 with nothing more than a few friends and a crazy idea. Today, I’m excited to announce we’re launching and raised $5M to re-imagine the way distributed teams work. Here’s how we’re doing it👇 nooks.in/how-to-give-your-te…
