The problem with AI apps (and how to fix it)

Hey my name is Nico 👋 Today I'll walk you through the problems that AI apps have nowadays 🤖 Timestamps: 0:00 - Overview / What we'll go through 0:33 - The thing that changed with AI agents 1:15 - The 3 features I almost shipped 3:15 - The three features I DID ship 3:39 - How to decide which feature to build 4:27 - The streaks feature 4:54 - Key takeaways Claude Code made it so cheap to add features to my app that I stopped asking whether I should. In this video I show you three features I almost shipped and killed (a Gmail integration, a full alarm clock, and a real notes editor with folders and tags), why each one would have made the app worse, and the rule I use now before I build anything. I also break down the three features I did ship last week (WhatsApp, auto-send voice notes, and Google Calendar) and what separates those from the ones I threw away. If you're building with AI and your app is starting to feel like a pile of features instead of one thing, this is the filter I wish I'd had earlier. I'm a solo developer building an AI productivity app, and I document the whole process here.
