Bootstrapped for Cash

This is a podcast about two techies, Iván and Giorgio, who once worked at a startup that got acquired and thought: "Hey, we can do this ourselves!"—only to realize they have no clue what they’re doing. Now bootstrapping their own indie venture, they’re navigating business, marketing, and sales while awkwardly exposing themselves as introverts on social media. Along the way, they’re using AI to build new products because "chatbots are boring, and we can do better". Expect plenty of facepalms, questionable decisions, and the dry, sardonic humor that unites Southern Europeans.

GPT-5 is here: hype, AGI… or just another upgrade?

OpenAI just dropped GPT-5, the most anticipated AI model in history. But is this the leap to AGI they’ve been promising for years, or just another impressive upgrade?

We unpack the announcement, explore what’s new, and ask the big question: how close are we really to artificial general intelligence?

We also cover other AI news, share updates on our products and, as always, we’d love to hear from you. Leave us a review or a comment so we can keep making the podcast better for you.
