today i am thrilled to welcome @afoxjohnston to @blockitAI as our first chief revenue officer. most executive hires start with a search. this one started with a customer… about a year ago, andrew, bremner, and patrick at second rodeo found blockit on their own, quickly became power users, and then bluntly told us why the agent fell short of its potential. i loved it. this turned into a partnership; along the way we saw what andrew is like in the trenches: hyper-competitive, uniquely product-centric, and deeply human. andrew has led sales at companies like superhuman, scale AI, and twilio -- and thus is something of an ‘AI email god’. blockit today is a scheduling agent that spreads virally on email threads and now powers some of the most demanding organizations in the world. when it came time to bring on a CRO, there wasn’t really a decision to make. welcome aboard, andrew. let's go connect the world’s time.

BlockIt and Superhuman are the greatest things since sliced bread

Just had a pretty shocking @openclaw experience. I was emailed by (what I thought was) an executive assistant who said her boss wanted to meet with me to chat about the AI industry and that he respected my work - she gave me a little bit of information about her boss and was asking to set up 30 minutes just to chat. I researched the person a little and he seemed interesting, so I replied and copied in my AI assistant @blockitAI to setup a 30min call. The meeting got set up, and then when I hopped on the call, I had a delightful time talking shop and discussing everything going on in AI. I then learned that the EA that reached out to me was OpenClaw - I was genuinely shocked. It really seemed human and acted like a very good EA, so I was laughing at myself that I didn't pick that up. We're definitely entering a new age. I do think that asking your OpenClaw to go out and set up meetings with interesting people, if you're genuine and you're not trying to sell something, is a great networking play. If you use it to secretly sell, though, you'll get blocked super fast, and it will do more harm than good. Interesting times we live in.

Having an AI that schedules meetings and coordinates my calendar has been a massive unlock for me. Currently using and paying for @blockitAI I've had lovely human EAs in the past and I have to say that an AI just works better. Instant replies. Never forgets. Always working. Hard to compete. This makes me both happy and sad.
