Sam Altman on GPT-5, Rabbit announces the r1 AI companion, write a future letter to yourself, tools of the week, and more.
Hey there.
I'm thrilled to welcome you back to Vensy’s Newsletter after a year-long hiatus. During this time, my journey has taken incredible turns, and I can't wait to share the details soon.
Quick update: I've now been leading Growth at AirOps for a while, continuing my journey in tech from law.
If you've been following me on Twitter for the last few years, you’ll know that I’ve been immersed in the no-code space since before I pivoted to tech, and then been sharing my no-code learnings, building projects, and conducting workshops.
I'm now revisiting that spirit with a fresh perspective, focusing on building with tech as a non-engineer with no-code and AI (both fields where I have experience as an operator), while intertwining this with my personal growth journey.
This newsletter will enrich your career and business with insights into AI, tech, and no-code— bridging the gap between complex tech and your daily routines.
