We interviewed Chris Frantz, CEO of Loops, an email platform for early-stage SaaS companies. We discussed challenges with building an email platform, Loops' ProductHunt launch, adhering to various compliance requirements, his previous startup, Snazzy AI, and the no-code tools used at Loops. You can watch the video here or read the full transcript of the interview here.

Microsoft introduced Copilot Studio, a low-code tool for customizing Copilot for Microsoft 365 and building standalone copilots, at the Microsoft Ignite 2023 event this week. A few days ago, OpenAI launched a similar platform called GPTs for developing custom ChatGPTs through no-code. Microsoft also released its Work Trend Index Special Report, which said Copilot users felt they were 70% more productive, and 68% felt improvement in the quality of their work.
