Let’s break down the bets that might get these X tools there.
1. Make Changes with Confidence
Users are afraid to touch live projects. One mistake and it’s all gone. That’s not okay.
They’re building agentic observability: a native, AI-tailored analytics and monitoring system that shows what’s happening inside your app—right now. No extra tools, no complex dashboards. Just a simple X “Command Center” where you can:
- See real-time analytics (powered by Clickhouse)
- Get alerts on bugs or traffic spikes
- Auto-fix issues with a “Fix with X” loop
Once it's live, you’ll be able to deploy like a pro, without the stress.
2. Own the Full Stack
Forget pasting API keys or signing into third-party services. X will offer deep vertical integration:
- Native backend, database, auth, and file storage
- Built-in AI tools, analytics, payments
- No Supabase, no Firebase, no glue code
This isn’t about limiting choice—it’s about speed. You’ll still be able to plug into external tools, but you won’t need to unless you want to.
3. From Editor to Ecosystem
Today, any X is a powerful editor. Tomorrow, it’s an ecosystem.
They’re launching the App Store, where users can:
- Share and sell templates, components, and AI agents
- Install third-party features with one click
- Monetize apps directly with native payment support
Power users will build on X. New users will start from what they’ve built.
4. AI as Your Product Manager
X will act like a cofounder—an AI Product Manager that helps you:
- Scope your idea
- Plan features
- Connect tools (like Google Docs, Stripe, Analytics)
- Ship your MVP faster
This means kids can build businesses. PMs can run experiments. Founders can go from 0 to launch with no technical team.
5. Build SaaS. All of It.
They’re building all X products on X.
Why? Because they’ll solve the edge cases before you hit them. If our own team can run long-running jobs, manage auth, and scale to millions—so can you.
This is our ultimate proof-of-work. The platform builds the platform.
6. Own the Post-Launch Lifecycle
Launching is just step one. They’re betting on tools that support users all the way through:
- Version control
- Error tracking
- Backups
- Security monitoring
- Monetization insights
A real business needs more than an MVP. X will support you from idea to $1M ARR and beyond.
7. Accelerate Builders
They're launching the X Accelerator—a bet on the humans behind the builds. They’ll back the most ambitious creators and help them turn prototypes into profitable companies.
It's simple: Bet on founders. Help them win.
8. Marketing That Matches Our Product
They’re not just building features—They’re building movements:
- “X kills Wix” for simple websites
- “Kids use X to build businesses” (and sell them)
- “All PMs use X” for fast internal tools and experiments
They're not waiting to be discovered. They're running sprints, shaping narratives, and reaching the right users—fast.
Final Thought: The A in AI Stands for Ambition
They’re building for the 0 → 1 and the 1 → $100M.
X isn’t just software. It’s a bet on a future where building a company is as accessible as starting a blog used to be.
And that future starts now.
