@EXM7777 viral opportunity

here's how to use AI for marketing:

build marketing context profiles

find the best offers in your niche
study their copywriting, voice, funnels
analyze what specific mechanism they use, their language, the ICP
compile everything into detailed JSON profiles

then feed these to your LLM before every campaign

shallow context gets you ChatGPT slop but deep context gets you campaigns that will convert

if you haven't developed a specific high-value skill recently... just become the AI person in your circle...

seriously, the market doesn't care about your technical depth right now, they care about solving problems

and AI is so obscure to most people that if you position yourself as "the AI guy" they'll assume you can handle anything AI-related

Andrew Wilkinson (@awilkinson) has been waking up at 4 a.m. because he can’t stop building with @AnthropicAI’s Opus 4.5.

He started vibe coding a couple of years ago, but it felt like the Palm Treo era of the smartphone—exciting, but not quite there. You could generate an app, but it would get stuck in bug loops or break the moment you pushed it further.

Then he tried Opus 4.5 in Claude Code. It felt, he says, like having a “$100,000-a-month payroll of engineers” working for him 24/7. He’s bui...

Everyone’s focused on the AI capabilities race. Anthropic just made a different move entirely.

They published Claude’s full “constitution” under Creative Commons. Free to copy. No permission needed.

For a company at $350B valuation, giving away your training methodology seems insane. Unless you understand the bet.

The document isn’t a list of rules. It’s a moral philosophy thesis addressed directly to Claude.

And the person who wrote it isn’t an engineer. It’s Amanda Askell, a trained phil...

@thepatwalls popular authority relevant

Every durable business i’ve seen through starter story has one thing in common:

Obsessive understanding of the customer.

I know it sounds obvious... but if that was the case, then why are so many people jumping from app to app and niche to niche?

Yes, tactics work. Trends can hit. And sometimes you just get lucky and make a bag.

But none of it lasts if you don’t understand the human on the other side & what makes them tick.

Hot Launches

I don't have access to specific product launches from the past 24-48 hours (January 20-22, 2026). The search results provided don't contain recent launch data—they show historical launches from 2022 and general SaaS advice for 2026, rather than current launches.

To find the most notable recent indie hacker and bootstrapped product launches, I'd recommend:

If you can share specific product names or categories you're interested in, I can help research their details, business models, and market positioning.

Sources:

AI Tool Trends

The search results provided don't contain information about tools that launched specifically this week (January 15-22, 2026). The sources focus on broader 2026 AI coding tool rankings and comparisons rather than recent weekly launches.

However, here are the most relevant tools for solo developers and small teams mentioned in the results, with available pricing context:

AI Coding Assistants (Solo Dev Focused)

Full-Stack App Builders

Specialized Tools

To find tools launched this specific week, you'd need to check product launch platforms like Product Hunt or recent tech news from January 15-22, 2026.

Funding Signals

Based on the search results provided, here are the seed and Series A funding rounds announced in the past week (approximately January 15-22, 2026):

Note: The search results contain limited detail on very recent funding announcements. The results primarily reference deals from December 2025 and earlier in January 2026, but lack comprehensive coverage of all seed/Series A rounds from the exact past 7 days.

AI Disruption Opportunities

4 companies identified as potential AI disruption targets

High Pricing 3/5 Pricing unknown
Low NPS 5/5 Widespread frustration (10 complaints found)

AI Angle: **Monday.com faces limited short-term disruption from pure AI challengers due to its proactive AI integrations like Monday Sidekick, monday vibe, and AI-powered automations, which already automate key processes and drive 10% of ARR (growing 80% YoY in Q3 2025).[1][5] However, a **high disruption

Clone this because: ### 1. Manual Processes AI Could Automate Monday.com's visually appealing interface relies on user-configured boards, automations, and dashboards for project tracking, but several manual steps remain ripe for full AI takeover:

AI Angle: # AI Disruption Analysis: Wrike's Vulnerability and Competitive Threats

Clone this because: Wrike faces moderate disruption risk from AI-first competitors, but their current positioning as a "connected intelligence" platform provides meaningful defensive advantages. However, significant vulnerabilities exist in pricing, accessibility, and the emerging agent-based workflow market. ## 1. Manual Processes Ripe for AI Automation

High Pricing 3/5 Pricing unknown
Low NPS 5/5 Widespread frustration (9 complaints found)

AI Angle: # AI Disruption Analysis: Jira's Vulnerability and Competitive Threats

Clone this because: Jira faces moderate disruption risk from AI-native competitors, but Atlassian is actively fortifying its position through embedded AI agents rather than remaining vulnerable. The disruption opportunity exists in specific workflow gaps and cost structures, not in wholesale replacement. ## 1. Manual Processes AI Could Automate in Jira

Confidence: Medium

4. Asana — Score: 13/20

Revenue: ~$100000.0M ARR
What they do: Clean, intuitive interface with multiple project views and automation for non-technical teams.[1]

Old Tech Stack 4/5 Established product, likely pre-AI
High Pricing 1/5 Very low price ($8/mo)
Low NPS 5/5 Widespread frustration (10 complaints found)

AI Angle: Asana faces moderate disruption risk from AI, but its 2026-native Asana AI features— including workflow automation, predictive insights, and integrations—position it as a leader rather than a laggard, reducing the window for pure AI-first challengers. While horizontal SaaS like Asana contends wi
