2026-03-3033:01

Justin and Kellan dig into a big week for OpenAI (and not in a good way), then Kellan walks through the custom command center app he built for Tiny Bottle AI in two weeks. Daily routines, goal tracking, task management, cross-device sync, an iOS companion app, and about 250 commits, all backed by Notion.

The Drip:

  • Walmart ends their OpenAI Instant Checkout partnership over poor product recommendations
  • OpenAI shuts down Sora as Disney pulls out of a billion-dollar deal
  • Anthropic launches Claude Code Channels, Dispatch, and Remote Control for agent messaging
  • The looming cost question: local models closing the gap as autonomous agents burn more tokens

Inside The Bottle:

  • The TBAi Command Center: an Electron desktop app + iOS companion backed by Notion, built in ~2 weeks
  • The daily routine flow: brain dump, inbox triage, backlog review, priority lock-in
  • Building cross-platform with AI agents (OpenClaw) handling features and deployments
  • Why no SaaS product fits a two-person team's specific workflow
  • "There might be very little AI in the final solution" and why that's the real insight
  • Justin's sales quoting example: where purpose-built apps eliminate delay and delight customers
  • Every business has 2-3 spots where custom software would change everything
