Marshmallow the Reachy Mini robot now responds to its name, holds conversations via GPT-5.5 mini, and stores memories about Scott's kids through Hermes. Scott's children started doing math with it unprompted — the exact human-robot moment the project was aiming for.

Marshmallow is a Reachy Mini robot built by Pollen Robotics and Hugging Face, about a foot tall, with built-in Wi-Fi, a camera, a speaker, and expressive head movements. Scott Tolinski has wired it to GPT-5.5 mini via the Hermes memory system — giving it persistent recall of his children's names, their favourite colours, and personal details that accumulate over time. The demo (as always on stream) almost doesn't cooperate, but Marshmallow eventually wakes up and responds live. The technical challenge Scott keeps wrestling with is latency: Hermes bloats the context somewhat, and the wake-word-to-response timing is finicky. The payoff moment came the previous day when his kids spontaneously started doing math problems with Marshmallow — nobody told them to.

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.
PropGPT runs on React Native with TypeScript and Python for ML, Neon for the database, RevenueCat and Superwall for monetization. LLM costs are $20/month, data APIs $100/month, and after $10K in monthly marketing spend, margins sit at roughly 50%.
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.
