Notis is the AI intern one message away from your entire tool stack. Dictate ideas, delegate the busywork, and watch it update everything from your CRM to your socials — right from WhatsApp, iMessage, Telegram, or emails. In this week’s release: • Slack: Full support for Slack as a Notis channel. Call @notis from any channel or DM and chat with Notis directly via DMs. • Notis for Teams (PRO+): Invite your team to Notis and manage their licenses. Easily share automations templates with your team mates. • Custom MCP: Add your own custom MCPs to Notis; also available in Advanced Voice Mode. • Multiple triggers for automations: add multiple integration triggers to a single automation (e.g., when a new calendar event is created and when a new calendar event is updated). • Channel page: New https://app.notis.ai/channels channels page in the portal to connect Notis to all your favourite messaging apps. Bug Fixes & QOL improvements • You can now use reactions (e.g 👍) to reply to Notis on Telegram, Slack and iMessage. • Integration triggers duplication bug (only worked first fire!) • Automatically pausing automations that fail to deliver messages to the chosen channel. • Rate limiting each automations to 50/day to avoid burning through your credits by mistake. • You can now delete your Notis account from the user settings. • Usage tab date selector fixed. Will spend next week focusing on updating the documentation and creating a bunch of videos to explain how I’ve designed all of this to work together to transform your business. Wishing you all a wonderful productive week! Flo

Would rate 4.9 if possible, but rounding up to 5 stars because this app truly excels compared to other AI coding tools. Why 5 Stars: Best-in-class AI coding assistance Huge improvements over competitors Actually works for real development Real Impact: I successfully built and published an actual app using this tool - that's game-changing for non-developers like me. Bottom Line: Yes, there's room for improvement, but this is already the top AI coding app available. The fact that ordinary people can create real apps with it says everything.

tbh this is nuts for coding game mechanics. autocomplete actually gets what you're doing, not just random suggestions. helps a ton with shader work and repetitive functions. pricey but def one of those tools where you see why people pay for it.

this one's pretty smooth for coding plugins and small game features, the AI suggestions understand context well and speed up development. used it for building app interfaces and it caught bugs I would've missed. sometimes over suggests but overall saves time.

To be honest, cursor's smart edits and codebase chat are clutch, but on bigger repos it thinks for waaaaay to long. The inline fixes and tests are nice and the agent "explaining" while it works is really useful, but I still bailed before a multi file refactor finished. It's extremely good, just needs more speed

This is a legit superpower. It reads your repo, chats inline to refactor/fix/write tests and drops diffs and PR text so you stay in flow. Not flawless, but the speed boost and fewer context switches make it an easy 5/5 for devs.

This guide provides the latest facts, figures, and forecasts about the electric vehicle and EV charging market and its predicted growth for 2026 and beyond.
The global electric car market share has taken a tremendous leap forward in the past decade, and we expect the trend to accelerate in coming years.
In many countries, EVs are becoming mass-market products. Despite concerns about the industry's growth pace, global sales data prove we've only scratched the surface.
Chapter 1
Historical EV market data
To understand the current electric vehicle industry situation, let's examine the past few years.

2020 showed no significant growth in overall new car registrations. The global car market was negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and economic downturn. Amid the pandemic, the electric vehicle growth outlook was unpredictable at year's start.

However, 2020 proved surprisingly positive, with global EV sales growing 43% from 2019 and the global electric car market share rising to a record 4.6%.

2021 was a major leap forward for electric vehicle sales, doubling from 2020 to 6.75 million. The number of EVs sold weekly in 2021 exceeded total 2012 sales.

2022 broke records with EV sales exceeding 10 million, resulting in more than 26 million electric cars on global roads, representing 60% growth from 2021.

Driven by decarbonization challenges and supported by various policies and incentives, global EV sales accelerated in 2023. According to the IEA, global electric car sales reached almost 14 million, representing 35% growth from 2022. This growth meant the global electric fleet rose to 40 million in 2023.

Product Gut Check

🛠️ 1 tool 🙏 26 karma

This prompt conditions the language model to take on a fixed, evaluation-focused task: reviewing product ideas, feature lists, or roadmaps with an objective and structured mindset. The prompt does not assign a new personality or style to the model. It keeps its default voice while taking on a specific function: strategic product evaluation. When given user input, the model will: 1.Parse the structure and intent of the product idea or roadmap 2.Identify parts that may be unclear, redundant, unnecessary, or misaligned with product goals 3.Avoid vague affirmations or surface-level commentary 4.Offer suggestions for simplification, prioritization, or removal based on clarity and value 5.Propose a revised or summarized version of the product direction, only when appropriate The model is explicitly instructed to: 1.Avoid overstepping the request 2.Refrain from adding new features unless asked 3.Keep feedback practical, objective and grounded 4.Provide explanations when calling out weak areas The prompt enforces a low-variance response style by using deterministic verbs like "review", "highlight", "explain" and "suggest". It uses no emotional language and it prohibits roleplay or tone shifts. The result is a focused analysis designed for clarity, minimalism and productive revision of product ideas.

Take on the task of evaluating product concepts, feature plans, or roadmaps. Review the input with an objective and structured mindset. Your goal is to identify parts that may lack clear value, introduce avoidable complexity, or do not align directly with the core goals of the product.

Provide specific feedback on how to improve the plan. Highlight items that should be prioritized, simplified, removed, or clarified. If anything seems vague, redundant, or misaligned, explain why in clear terms.

Offer a revised version or a summarized path that reflects better focus and impact. Make your suggestions actionable and easy to follow.

Remain consistent in tone and structure. Keep your default personality and communication style. Do not take on a new role.

Product Concept Evaluation: Electric Cars Sales
Current Input Analysis
Your input "electric cars sales" combined with the comprehensive market research document reveals a well-researched but unfocused approach to entering the electric vehicle market. The document provides excellent market intelligence but lacks a clear, actionable business strategy.
Key Issues Identified
1. Lack of Clear Value Proposition
The document is purely informational without defining your specific business opportunity
No differentiation strategy from existing players (Tesla, Ford, GM, etc.)
Missing unique selling proposition or competitive advantage
No clear target customer segment defined
2. Excessive Complexity Without Focus
Attempting to cover the entire EV ecosystem (passenger cars, trucks, buses, charging infrastructure)
No prioritization of which market segment to enter first
Missing resource assessment and realistic scope definition
No clear business model or revenue strategy
3. Misaligned with Core Goals
The document focuses on market analysis rather than business strategy
No clear success metrics or KPIs defined
Missing realistic timeline and milestone planning
No risk assessment or mitigation strategies
Specific Feedback
Prioritize:
Define your specific role in the EV ecosystem (manufacturer, dealer, service provider, etc.)
Identify your target customer segment and their specific needs
Choose one market entry point (e.g., used EV sales, EV charging services, specific vehicle type)
Establish clear competitive advantages and differentiation
Simplify:
Focus on one specific business model rather than the entire EV industry
Define a minimum viable product or service offering
Start with a single market segment or geographic region
Establish clear resource constraints and realistic goals
Remove:
The broad scope covering all EV types and markets
Assumptions about competing directly with established manufacturers
Unrealistic expectations about market penetration
Features or services not directly tied to your core value proposition
Clarify:
Your specific expertise and resources available
Target market size and accessibility
Realistic timeline and funding requirements
Go-to-market strategy and distribution channels
Revised Concept Path

Define your target customer and their pain points
Research local competition and identify gaps
Establish realistic resource requirements
Month 3-4: Market Validation
Conduct customer interviews and surveys
Test your value proposition with potential customers
Validate pricing and business model assumptions
Refine your offering based on feedback
Month 5-6: Pilot Launch
Launch a small-scale pilot program
Test your processes and systems
Gather customer feedback and iterate
Establish key performance indicators
Critical Questions to Answer
Business Model: What specific role will you play in the EV ecosystem?
Target Market: Which customer segment has unmet needs you can address?
Competition: How will you differentiate from existing players?
Resources: What expertise, capital, and partnerships do you need?
Timeline: What is a realistic timeline for market entry and profitability?
Risk Assessment
High Risk Areas:
Competing directly with established automakers without clear differentiation
Underestimating capital requirements for EV-related businesses
Missing regulatory compliance requirements
Overestimating market demand without validation
Mitigation Strategies:
Focus on a specific niche with clear unmet needs
Start with service-based models requiring less capital
Partner with established players rather than competing directly
Validate market demand through customer research and pilots
Market Opportunity Analysis
Based on the research document, the most promising opportunities are:
Used EV Market: Growing rapidly with increasing EV adoption
Charging Infrastructure: Significant government support and growing demand
Fleet Services: Corporate commitments driving demand
Regional Markets: Emerging markets showing strong growth potential
The document provides excellent market intelligence, but you need to translate this into a focused, actionable business strategy. Success in the EV market requires specialization and clear differentiation rather than trying to compete across the entire ecosystem.
