Anthropic and OpenAI are bringing interactive UIs to AI agents. 

Until now, MCP servers were stuck with text-only exchanges. 

Want to visualize data? Build custom rendering logic. 

Need complex user input? Deal with the awkward back-and-forth.

This fragmentation forced every developer to reinvent the wheel.

Now, MCP Apps standardizes UI resources with security-first design. Projects like MCP-UI (Postman, Shopify, Hugging Face) and OpenAI's Apps SDK proved the demand. 

Now it's official.

This is more than a UI update. It's the foundation for an agentic app runtime: standardized, secure, and interoperable.

Founder @Kodebusters — we build ChatGPT Apps that turn conversations into customers

I've just cancelled my Cursor and ChatGPT subscriptions (~$50/month).

And switching fully to Gemini (part of my Google Workspace) and Antigravity (free IDE with Gemini 3)

For the next four weeks, I will use them for coding and daily business tasks to see if they are sufficient to grow Alchymos.

Google is slowly regaining a strong position after losing the first-mover advantage in the consumer AI race. 

Now they've got my attention.

Co-founder @Alchymos - caching for AI agents | DM for demo

AI’s real superpower is scale.

AI isn’t winning because it’s smarter. It’s winning because it can do a thousand things in the time it takes us to do one. Sergey Brin gives an example. 

Deep Research in Gemini doesn’t just skim the top 10 results like we do, it pulls the top 1,000, follows up on each, reads deeply, cross-references, and compiles insights in minutes.

That’s a week of work, compressed into seconds.

And that’s where we’re headed:

- From assistants to parallel processors of knowledge.
- From answering questions to building arguments, insights, and plans.

The real shift isn’t prompt quality. It’s system volume.

The next leap? 

Giving these agents structure, memory, and caching so they stop wasting time and tokens on redundant work.

That’s where infra comes in. And it’s what we’re building at Alchymos

The shift is happening right now. And it's exciting.

New Business Associate (SDR) - Brand Accelerator Program

Hey, I'm Macklin. 

I'm a founder who works closely with startups to refine their GTM strategies, especially when it comes to outbound sales.

I'm a firm believer in the power of Clay.com, Smartlead, ethical web scraping and AI to create personalized emails at scale (no generic email blasts here).

I'd love to connect with you and learn more about your story. Whether you're looking to discuss potential partnerships, get some advice on your sales strategy, or swap stories, my inbox is always open.

I see plenty of flashy HeyReach.io + n8n workflows on LinkedIn. 

You probably do too.

At harochi, the rule is simple. Automate only what already works by hand.

One of the best sales moves in 2025 is using HeyReach.io to send a connection request right after someone books a meeting with you on Cal.com, Inc. or Calendly.

Here's the key: doing it the minute they book a call with you (and not waiting until after the call). 

This is why it works for us: 

1. They get a notification on LinkedIn

2. It gives them a chance to further research you and your company, so they aren't showing up unprepared to the call. 

3. Since time makes interest fade, we ask them to connect when they're still motivated.

4. Later in the deal cycle, the chances of closing decrease, so we want to set ourselves up the best we can. We want to be able to reach them easily. This is 10x easier if you're connected on LinkedIn and also have their email address, phone number, and even office address, in case we want to hit them with an old-fashioned letter (written using Clay and a bunch of automations). 

Here's the n8n flow. I call it "How to Send a LinkedIn Connection Request to Everyone Who Books Time With You."

Here's how it works....
1. Person books call through Cal.com, Inc. 
2. This triggers workflow in n8n
3. AI Transform node extracts the email addresses that don't end in "harochi.io" from the booking form, so I only get the prospect's email
4. Exa searches for the person's first name, last name, company name and "LinkedIn.com" and only outputs the profile if it's certain that it's the same person. 
5. Once it locates the person's profile, it adds them to my campaign in HeyReach, which is purely designed for this. It has no messages, just an empty connection request. 
---

Helpful notes: 
- you can also include your CRM into this workflow very easily
- you can get creative and send connection requests to multiple participants (if that's a common thing that happens with your booking requests)
---

Happy to share this with you if you want it (or you can build yourself really easily).

We flirted with the idea of raising after two of our clients approached us.

We decided against it. 

Not because the money wouldn’t have helped.

Because extra pressure wouldn’t.

We wanted to stay an agency; the money could've helped us cut some corners to build a SaaS (but not without a steep price). 

Mustafa El-Seidy and I decided that the plan was simple.

Keep harochi independent. Keep it small. Keep it clean.

That means being careful about each project we take on and hire only when we truly need to.

If we do this right, we won’t need to sell a story.

We’ll have a system.

If we ever raise for a product we build, it'll be a different game. 

We'll have cash.
