When you've told people what you're building, you actually build it. general lech@lechkaniuk.com (Lech Kaniuk) Fri, 03 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://lechkaniuk.com/journal/009-askmeevo-100-agents https://lechkaniuk.com/journal/009-askmeevo-100-agents A hundred companies are running AI agents built on our platform.

The act of explaining something to someone else is how you find out if you understand it. general lech@lechkaniuk.com (Lech Kaniuk) Thu, 19 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://lechkaniuk.com/journal/007-grasperly-new-enterprise-tier https://lechkaniuk.com/journal/007-grasperly-new-enterprise-tier First enterprise contract signed.
