Hey friends!

Meta posted $60.8 billion in revenue last quarter, up 28 percent. Free cash flow still collapsed 91 percent to $784 million after capital spending jumped 83 percent to $31 billion in a single quarter. The stock fell close to 10 percent after hours.

Spending big stopped being proof of a good business. Spending well took its place.

I built ShortPen on the same logic, branded links, dynamic QR codes, and post-click conversion tracking hosted in the EU, for a fraction of what Bitly charges to do less.

The five tools below earn their spot the same way.

It tracks open threads and follows up at the right time so nothing slips.

Ask it to find a receipt or schedule a meeting and it pulls context from your connected tools.

Agent mode does the work for you.
