The episode, in writing
by Richard Lovatt · from the episode above, checked against what was said
We got accepted on Meta, accepted our developers app thing, which means, and I'm glad this was accepted because going live with ads next week, especially on X, maybe on Meta too, and I was going to go live potentially to get customers, you know, you never know. But I was going to go live without the founders, like anyone who would have joined wouldn't actually have had the ability, unless I added them, like as a separate thing, but they wouldn't have had the ability to post to Instagram.
Every other one, like TikTok, was accepted, LinkedIn personal profiles accepted, WhatsApp, Slack. But anyway, Instagram was a big one and that wasn't accepted until last night. So the good thing is everything's accepted. All founders and all the customers who are prepared to join will be able to post automatically to all the socials.
I actually added that, that's a new bit of news, added Reddit today. Created a community in Reddit called Building on Underway, because I can just envision years down the line there's going to be people posted to there. So I created that, created the rules for it. Now each founder creating an episode can actually post automatically to Reddit. So that's another one on top of X. So we're steaming along here.
The other thing I'm going to show you this on my screen, because it's always good showing you stuff. Played around today. In another episode at the start I spoke about using Fable to create a new launch video, and it creates some really, really cool aspects of videos that I kept for the website. I forget the new one that came out, Opus, was it five, but anyway, again, that came out, so I gave it a go. Basically had it review the launch videos, because I was bored, and said how could we improve it.
And I think the reality is, and I knew this as well, is that the launch videos, even though the whole point of Underway is that you're using organic content, it's just you and you're not editing, you're not trying to make it perfect, the reality of those launch videos is that they're both AI based, utilizing nothing organic. So it reviewed it and basically said, to improve this we could basically take your 48 episodes you've got right now and kind of clip them up and create a genuine one. So that's what it's done here. It's like 48, it's not showing all of them, but it's like clipping it up. And I didn't have to do anything on top, there was no polishing, it was a one shot. I think it's really good.
On top of that, it actually improved its ability to utilize context. You've got this ability now for it, we call it the director. The director is going to understand your company, where you are, what your series goal is, where you're trying to head, and then it's going to try and form episodes based on what you've done and all the work you've done. So you can do that, or you can do it more manually, where you will choose what it's going to pull in.
I've spoken about this before, but now we've got this. I'm on season one. Season zero and the first three episodes are when you are private, when you're in stealth mode. Everything in there before you go live is season zero. Then as soon as you go live you're into series one. It will ask you for your series one goals, what it wants to track and stuff.
So I'm on season one, and you can see here's the storyboard, so it says Underway goes public while app store rejections, Slack nudges and X ads stand between you and ten users. So the goal of season one for me is like ten users. So who knows how long that's going to be, but that's the season one goal, and it knows this as context, and it will then say the storyboard is the season, today's context below, and what the story needs next.
So it says, what Apple said about the new build, and I can even look at what is this about, and it gives me a bit of context into why it's suggesting that. And then it says, the first tester inside Underway, what's this about, I know what that's about. It's really simple, but I can't film this until I've got the first tester in there. But it's good to know that it's ahead, it knows that we really need that kind of episode in here.
So the first X campaign going live, so that's going to happen next week, so I can just click film this, it's going to pull that context through and we can start an episode. And it will either create questions around it, or I can just chat freestyle on it.
Further down, see here how it says who ticks the day, the director or me. If I click on me, it's going to pull in everything that I'm doing, so everything that's shipped, my meetings, my emails, and I can go in and tick what I want it to use as info and context. If I let the director do it, which is easier, it's kind of automatic, it's going to tick all the things that it thinks are important anyway, based on what I'm trying to do. And that's why it's pulling in and creating these suggested topics, because it's doing it itself, which I think most founders will go with, because it's intuitive and it's super easy.
And then at the bottom we've got worth an episode, and we can see more of them, as you already know about this before. So yeah, that's pretty much it.
