I want to automate a lead qualification process.
I have a list of emails, I'd like the GPT to browse each domain name and be able to tell me if it's a furniture company or not.
OpenAI API isn't able to browse a website.
What do you advise?

The 3 main YC learnings that I keep repeating to myself everyday (they’re basic but powerful):
1/ You improve what you focus on
2/ The more work you put, the more result you get
3/ Speed of execution is a moat

Is there a better feeling?
Pushed some buggy code to prod. 🐞
INSTANTLY got 2 live chat messages from customers.
Adrenaline kicked in to fix it, of course.
But it reminded me—people CARE about what we’re building @presti_ai.
And honestly, is there anything better than that?

The power of niching down:
1. It's easier to find exactly where your customers are
2. You show up where your generic competitors wouldn’t dare to look
My co-founder @bennis_ham is at the Furniture Today leadership conference, in Naples, FL.
(kinda old school vibes I admit 🤣)
