Omar, how old are you?
Great video thanks for sharing
the song is 'Stereo Love' for anyone wondering, the extended ver especially is pretty dope
SCAMMER SCAMMER SCAMMER
By "organically" I assume you mean "paying every influencer possible to shill the app". Sure thing bud.
Bro i saw that already man i sent you an email with you are balling LMAO. I literally fucking kenw already
How does he acquire the money, if he’s a teen?
Go Dm we gonna work together inchlh
Omar, I love your interviews/podcasts. You speak well and ask great questions. Great guests!
Man this , is so inspirational, i recently got recommended your channel by the algorithm, and it's been the best recommendation ever, every one of your guests inspires me in one way or the other, amazing stuff mate, i hope to be on your show one day, when i get successful too
This is Great. Awsome for you. But Tiktok? Made in China. Pass. Thanks. You should do this in China.
So pass. On this video. You are not success till you can prove scale at FB and IG
Next video, please.
What’s the full video?
are you getting burner phones for these new IG and titkok accounts you create when you train your FYP to only be about the niche by only liking and engaging with the new niche content?
👍👍
is there no spotify version of this? i need to make my spotify premium worth it
App is a complete scam. But I guess that's the type of stuff you do at 17
yup a muslim channel promoting scams is not nice.
The collab everybody has been waiting for...
grifter
amaz
Lol sooo... he just built a zapier automation using an open ai vision step to analyze the photo and break down the stats? It's SO easy to make money rn it's not even funny.
the strategy seems to be squeeze revenue while AI gold rush lasts as there will be clones. AI wrapper companies will need to pivot or fold soon unless they come up with a really novel agentic workflows that actually work in production
LMAO try building this then say its easy
Lmao go do it then. Building the app is just one thing and that alone won't get you far.
@biesman5 bro WHY would I want to build THAT? I built something that ACTUALLY makes money. Thats why my daily drivers are a bentley and a viper lol.
@shklbor correct! wow 👌 you are the ONLY person who responded to my comment with brains lol.
motivational 💯
ask him about profit lol. nobody cares about 1.1M in revenue
show us your 1.1m rev?
1:54 he’s incredibly transparent that it is revenue so he’s not trying to fool anyone.
why are you worried about that lil bro? too envy?
more than 1% less than 100%
@@one_mtb lol it's obviously impressive. But it's similar to every ecom course seller "I make 10k a month bro." Capital light business so I imagine margins are high but still
loved it 💛
Had to share this on LinkedIn. Well done guys. And bear! 😂
Thanks for the forecast! I need some advice: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
All con profits are cruel scams.
They have that negative thought because of themselves. Nonprofits were purposely left to public charity from the beginning for a reason. Meaning if the public cared for the public’s health more would be done to make sure everything is getting done. Those that don’t of course will choose to be and look at it negatively because they want others to be accountable without their input but for their benefit. That’s heaven not earth
More jobs? A move to efficiency means less human workers. At some point there will be an appearance of a boom but it will eventually lead to less headcount.
This will automate many jobs. The ones getting promoted probably come from organizations that are not so overly staffed. The workforce will become a mix of human employees and agent team members. It will inevitably lead to lower human headcount overall. Microsoft’s CEO, Satya, even touched on this in his latest interview.
Good take
That's a limited mindset. Instead of business automation, one could think of business augmentation. Yes you could decrease your 1000 people headcount to 100 employees, but with correct usage of AI capabilities, your 1000 people company could also perform at the equivalent of a 100000 people enterprise.
Dope info bro. You earned a Sub..
great information thank you
This is an amazing video, id recommend putting joao in the thumbnail as well and prolly add crewai in the title as well. Good stuff
The jobs scenario he talked is absolute BS! lots and lots of them are getting fired
When did terrorists started to have youtube channel and interview people?
Good video as usual. However Omar, your body language made it difficult listening to you.
Great episode!
Blake and Omar. Awesome podcast. Great questions by Omar. Blake's way of story telling is fantastic. DM thing - Making you unignorable. 😂 That's true to the core for a startup at it's every stage of the way.
Adam Robinson is huge on Inbound Outbound. It's a great concept to build a good sales pipeline.
Great watch
Gonna tune in later tonight. Sounds like a great episode from the description.
Damn. Unbelievable white privilege. Here I am, running an AI video startup with over $400k ARR in just 4 months, and I couldn’t even get an investor to respond to my $1.5M seed round investment. 😆 This guy gets pre-seed and seed funding without any traction at all.
Intro ✋🤚
so puppeteer and chatgpt gets millions of dollar in funding... cool...
So much value in this ep!
Is there a link to that memo?
Its in the description now!
@@omarwasm Thanks, great interview... keep up the good work 🙌
Don’t suppose you could provide the memo mentioned at 6:40? Cant see it in the show notes 👀
Linked it, Check description
ok now when hes talking about his role models Im back loving this kid, may Allah bless him
this guy cured my imposter syndrome :)
i love how u lowkey roast him cuz hes too cocky but mad respect thho he made tons of cash while being a rookie, guess that was kind of an advantage GOAT stay humble
Fire video, been creating browser agents for 3 years now. Made over six figures and seeing browser-base revolutionize the space is so cool!
Great video
