I’m in 🇲🇽 for my birthday and while we were waiting for our dinner table, I met a startup founder who was on his phone shipping website updates with Codex mobile. Yep, I know.
So yes, we went down a rabbit hole talking about the cool things he built this week:
• Vertical-specific landing pages with explainers, cool graphics, animations, all customized to B2B customers their company sells to.
After an intro call, once they know what the customer cares about, they can send a custom landing page in pretty much no time. Their team can share it, track it with UTMs, and it’s helping them close deals faster.
• He built a video that’s going to run in a soccer stadium during this year’s season.
For context, stadiums have very specific and annoying requirements for those rotating banner ads around the field, and Codex helped him create a cool graphic with image gen, make the loop animation, and get it into the exact dimensions they needed.
• Their team records meetings IRL and online with @meetgranola, and he can work on new features and solutions for existing customers as they’re still onsite with them and hearing their requests.
They literally open their laptops before leaving and say something like “is this what you need?” It’s wild.
• With those same meeting recordings, he can also create emails, spreadsheets, decks, and collateral for sales, product, and engineering, then send things through @SlackHQ, @gmail, and @linear plugins in Codex.
And pause. This guy is non-technical.
You can truly just build things.
