From our Partner
Fast-growing teams hit a wall. Feedback floods in, people on the same team see the same issues without knowing it, and telling that story together becomes nearly impossible.
Clay hit that wall. Then they brought in Unwrap.
Now their teams access customer feedback directly; no more relying on summaries or multiple, disparate sources.
Fewer gaps. Faster decisions. Everyone working from the same signal.
With Unwrap, you get:
All customer feedback automatically categorized
Query feedback across channels using Unwrap Assistant, or in your favorite tools via MCP
Real-time alerts from feedback as they arise and a clear view of customer sentiment
A platform trusted and tested at scale by Perplexity, DoorDash, Stripe, Clay, lululemon, Depop, Southwest Airlines and other leading companies
If your team is still relying on time consuming manual processes (or even a mix of manual work and AI), there's a much better way to aggregate and analyze feedback.
Unwrap is offering trials to Open Tools subscribers!
OpenAI just teased its first actual hardware, and it's something completely different.
Musk just redirected his best Starship and Starlink engineers onto Grok and promised a brand-new model trained from scratch every month.
⚡️YOUR MOVE For people building the life they want, now.
🛠️ Their head of growth runs $300K a month in ad spend across Google, Meta, and LinkedIn without opening a single ad manager. He does it from a terminal, in plain English. The full repo is public. → See the system
⚡ Most people still use Claude like a smarter chatbot. You're competing against people who treat it like an operating system. This is the curated list of repos that actually matter. → Get the stack
🔥 Agencies quote $3,000 to $8,000 for a website. One Claude Code command collapses the whole thing into four minutes, and there's a real business model behind charging for it anyway. → See how
🎯 The CS degree requirement is a filter built for a job that no longer works the way hiring thinks it does. This is the honest no-degree path into AI engineering in 2026. → Get the roadmap
The $80M Startup That Just Decided It Couldn't Trust Anyone Else's AI – Most AI startups are built on someone else's model, and quietly terrified of it. Base44 just made the expensive bet that changes, and it reveals the question haunting every company in the space.
$150 Billion Is on the Table. 1001 Wants to Run It Locally. – The world just learned what happens when a foreign government can switch your AI off. The Gulf is now funding startups so it never has to find out.
The Startup Turning Plain English Into Production Software for the Pentagon – Chamath's new startup turns plain-English documents into working software for the most regulated industries on earth. Salesforce just led a $135M round, and the customer list includes the US government.

When the people closest to this technology act this way, it tells you exactly how high they think the stakes are.
