Anthropic's Fable AI was banned for three weeks — and the ban may have been the best thing that happened to the company. It validated its safety-first brand, forced the first real pause on a frontier model, and gave Anthropic a trillion-dollar marketing moment it could never have bought.

Leo gives an enthusiastic and detailed read for Thinkst Canary, walking through how the device can impersonate anything from a SharePoint server to a Windows XP machine or even SCADA device. He explains how lure files — like an Excel spreadsheet named 'payroll information' — can be placed on cloud drives to detect unauthorized access. The key selling point: no false positives, and when the canary fires, something is genuinely wrong. He reveals that TWiT has used Thinkst Canaries for over ten years, and that in all that time, not a single customer has requested a refund. Pricing: $7,500/year for five devices, with 10% off using the code TWIT at canary.tools/twit.
Game apps keep users engaged long enough for ads to pay off. Tool apps don't — so if you're building a utility, ads are almost always the wrong call and subscriptions are your only real lever.
Inside SEO Bot, a single button labelled 'Boost My Domain Rating' routes users directly to Listing Bot. That one interaction converts a user of one tool into a user of two — without any marketing cost.
Directory listings are a powerful but underrated growth channel — but only if your product is genuinely interesting enough to earn the click. AI products have a natural advantage here because they're easy to package in a compelling, clickable way.
The fastest path to Twitter growth isn't volume — it's forming sharp opinions about how the platform works and sharing them immediately. People cluster around those who understand the rules and say so out loud.
Sam had no coding knowledge, so he used ChatGPT voice mode to generate his entire codebase and copy-pasted it into Notepad. A friend later introduced him to Cursor, and he never looked back.
Copy days of Discord chat history, paste it into ChatGPT, and ask it to list recurring pain points. The ones that come up most often are your best product bets.
Sam's top advice: when prompting Cursor, tell it to architect code for 100,000 users from day one. The AI changes its approach, building scalable frameworks instead of brittle one-user code.
With AI coding tools like Cursor, Bhanu replicates an existing free tool for a new keyword in under 5 minutes. What used to be a multi-day build is now a lunch-break task.
Ahrefs, SiteGPT, Cal.com, PostHog, Datafast, Sibyl AI, Bento, Feather, Featurepace, Mintlify, Cloud Code, ChartMogul — Bhanu runs his entire business solo with these 12 tools.
