A lot of bold statements unsupported by data or even sufficiently deep understanding of the mentioned things.
Like for example this:
> Formfacade is a CRM that competes with HubSpot
It is not a CRM system and it is far from addressing the needs of users of real CRMs. Of course, an early stage startup or a business with less than 1000 customers can handle leads in Google Forms. But that is a lot to handle.
AI does not replace software engineering. It can enhance productivity on certain types of tasks, but AI is doing terrible job on something that mildly deviates from SO answers. It cannot build something like CRM or anything with rich domain.
It is absolutely possible to go solo today, but it’s not because of AI. Tech founder can just write a lot of good code. Business founder won’t get past outsourced no-code solution.
- QueensGambit 2y agoAuthor of the post here. This is a misunderstanding of CRM given how customer relationships have evolved over the last 20 years. Salesforce didn’t copy Siebel - it moved sales tracking to the cloud. HubSpot didn’t copy Salesforce - it focused on inbound leads. We’re not trying to build every feature of a traditional CRM. We’re focusing on Google Forms as CRM for SMBs because they already use Forms + Sheets to manage leads.
