I Built a GTM Research Workflow with One Vaaya API Key
I wanted to see how far I could take a simple idea: Give an agent one API key and let it handle the different pieces of company research. So I built GTM Radar . You paste a company URL, and it turns that into a structured GTM brief instead of making you jump between different research and data tools. What GTM Radar does The workflow currently generates five main sections: Overview — company description, industry, size, location and website Structure — departments and key people Market — signals, competitors and positioning People — who might be relevant to reach and why Outreach — why now and a possible angle The goal is simple: go from company URL → useful GTM context as quickly as possible. Why Vaaya? The interesting part for me was being able to connect several providers through Vaaya rather than integrating each one separately. The workflow currently uses: Firecrawl · Exa · Akta · OpenFunnel · OneFind through a single Vaaya key. Vaaya's API provides a common interface for its catalog, so the workflow can call different services using the same API authentication and request pattern. It also supports cost limits and only charges successful calls. That made experimenting with different providers much easier. The workflow At a high level: Company URL ↓ Company discovery / extraction ↓ Company + market research ↓ People & GTM signals ↓ Structured GTM brief ↓ Share / copy / reuse The interesting part isn't any individual API call. It's combining several data sources into something that is actually useful to a person doing GTM research. Handling failures Real-world data workflows don't always return clean results. For extraction, I added a fallback path so that if the first provider doesn't work, the workflow can try another route instead of immediately failing. The current flow is roughly: CRW ↓ Firecrawl scrape ↓ CRW fallback I also added cost-capped runs and a 12-hour cache to avoid unnecessary repeated work. Sharing the research The latest thing I added was Share I

When pgvector Outshines Dedicated Vector Stores at Scale
Key takeaways pgvector can reduce vector storage costs by 50% or more. Utilizing PostgreSQL's indexing capabilities enhances performance. Operational simplicity with a unified database reduces overhead. Cost-effective scaling is achievable with the right configurations. The problem Startups leveraging AI and machine learning often face skyrocketing costs associated with dedicated vector databases as they scale. These costs can escalate quickly due to the pricing structures of specialized services, which charge based on storage and query volume. Founders typically hit this wall when user growth surges or when the complexity of vector retrievals increases, leading to budget overruns and performance bottlenecks. What we found Interestingly, many startups overlook the capabilities of pgvector, a PostgreSQL extension that supports vector similarity search. With proper indexing and configuration, pgvector can match or even exceed the performance of dedicated vector stores while significantly reducing costs. The non-obvious insight is that by leveraging existing PostgreSQL infrastructure, startups can avoid the pitfalls of vendor lock-in and unpredictable scaling costs associated with specialized vector databases. How to implement it Begin by integrating pgvector into your existing PostgreSQL setup. First, install the pgvector extension using the command: CREATE EXTENSION vector; . Next, define your vector columns with the appropriate dimensionality, for example, CREATE TABLE items (id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY, embedding VECTOR(300)); . Utilize PostgreSQL's GiST or ivfflat indexing for efficient similarity searches. Implement batch insertion techniques to optimize write throughput, and consider partitioning your data to manage large datasets effectively. Regularly monitor query performance and adjust your indexing strategy based on usage patterns. How this makes life easier By utilizing pgvector, startups can expect to reduce their vector storage costs by 50% or more compared to

Your App Works. But Is It Actually Solving Your Users’ Problems?
A technically perfect app can still fail. It can have clean code, modern architecture, powerful APIs, and impressive features—and still leave users uninstalling it, abandoning transactions, or switching to a competitor. Because users don't experience your code.They experience the product. That is why developers and businesses need to look beyond functionality and ask a more important question: “Does this software make the user’s life easier?” The Real Cost of a Poor Digital Experience Customer expectations are rising quickly. According to PwC’s 2025 Customer Experience Survey, 70% of executives say customer expectations are evolving faster than their companies can adapt. Even more importantly, 29% of consumers said they stopped using or buying from a brand because of poor customer experience. That means a frustrating digital experience isn't simply a UX problem. It can become a business problem . A confusing checkout flow, slow screen, unnecessary registration step, broken search function, or poorly designed notification can turn a potential customer into a lost customer. And users rarely tell you exactly what went wrong. They simply leave. More Features Don't Always Mean More Value One of the biggest mistakes in software development is assuming that adding more features automatically makes a product better. It doesn't. Imagine an app with: 30+ features AI integration Multiple dashboards Complex personalization Advanced analytics …but users struggle to complete the one task they downloaded the app for. That's not innovation. That's friction. A better development approach starts with identifying the core user problem and then building around it. Before adding a feature, ask: What problem does this solve? If the answer isn't clear, the feature may not belong in the product. Performance Is Part of User Experience Developers often separate performance from UX. Users don't. To them, a slow API, delayed screen, frozen button, or failed transaction is simply a bad experien
