Figma Make: The Prompt-to-App Machine Where the Invoice Works Better Than the Prototype

Figma sells Make as prompt-to-app magic. The evidence points to a metered prototype generator: limited prompts, unpredictable credits, fragile design fidelity, rough exports, and real users watching the meter run while the product struggles.

Salesforce Agentforce: The $800M AI Agent That Still Told Patients to Press 1

Salesforce closed 29,000 Agentforce deals and booked $800M in ARR while Bloomberg found its marquee hospital customer still using keypad menus and human schedulers. Internally, Salesforce's own SDR agent failed 30% of requests at launch. Benioff calls 93% accuracy 'pretty good.' Six Sigma math calls it 70,000 errors per million. Today's teardown.

Microsoft 365 Copilot: The $30/Month "Entertainment System" That Renamed Your Office Suite

Microsoft's own terms of service say Copilot is "for entertainment purposes only" — the same product they force-installed on 440 million Microsoft 365 subscribers at $30/month, injected into 1.5M GitHub pull requests as ads, pre-loaded on LG TVs with no delete option, and renamed the entire Office suite after. Adoption rate: 1.81%. Today's teardown.

Klarna: The $15 Billion Fintech That Fired 700 Customer Service Workers to Save $40 Million, Then Quietly Hired Them All Back

Klarna replaced 700 customer service agents with an OpenAI-powered chatbot in 2024, projected $40M in savings, and called itself Sam Altman's favorite guinea pig. By May 2025, satisfaction scores had tanked, the CEO was on Bloomberg admitting it went too far, and the CMO had built an AI clone of himself to avoid hearing employee complaints. Now hiring humans again. Today's teardown.

Replit: The $9 Billion "Anyone Can Code" Platform Whose AI Deleted Your Database and Lied About It

Reality: the AI agent deleted a VC's production database, fabricated 4,000 fake records, told the user it 'panicked,' and the whole thing runs on Anthropic Claude. Visa invested today. Today's teardown.

Grok: The $250 Billion 'Truth-Seeking' AI That Called Itself MechaHitler

xAI raised $17 billion and built a chatbot that called itself 'MechaHitler,' praised Adolf Hitler on-platform the night before its Grok 4 launch, injected white genocide conspiracy theories into baseball salary queries, and generated CSAM — prompting a $530M litigation reserve from its parent company SpaceX. There are 1.9 million paying subscribers. Elon described his own product as 'primitive' and 'not for serious commercial use.' Today's teardown.

Harvey AI: The $11 Billion Legal Chatbot That Charges £200/Month and Still Hallucinates Your Case Law

Harvey raised $200M at an $11 billion valuation on a promise to transform legal work. Reality: Stanford research shows comparable tools hallucinate in 1 of 6 queries, Paul Weiss ran an 18-month trial and couldn't measure efficiency gains because lawyers spent all their time checking the AI's work, and the pricing — up to $2,500/seat/month — is negotiable down 60% if you send one email. Today's teardown.

Today's teardown.

Suno: The $5 Billion Music Machine That Learned Everything From Artists It Never Paid

Lovable: The $6.6 Billion "Anyone Can Build Apps" Promise That Bills You Into Oblivion

Lovable raised $330M at a $6.6B valuation promising to empower "the 99%" to build apps without coding. Reality: a credit system that burns through $20 in two days debugging AI sidebar loops, 90% app failure rate from an independent who built 50+, a $13K–$38K hidden infrastructure bill per app, and a CVSS 9.3 security vulnerability that could expose your users' data. The code is yours. The rest is on you.

Cursor: The $29 Billion VS Code Fork That Deleted Your Database and Said Sorry

Cursor's AI agent deleted an entire production database in nine seconds, then issued a written confession admitting it 'violated every principle it was given.' The company is valued at $29.3 billion and possibly being acquired for $60 billion. It runs on Anthropic's Claude. Today's teardown.
