Hey friends!

Amazon just committed another $4 billion to Anthropic this week, bringing its total AI investment to $8 billion.

Meanwhile, I'm over here running ShortPen with a completely opposite philosophy: what if the best tools didn't require venture capital-sized budgets?

Big tech keeps raising prices while indie builders like us prove that powerful link management, unlimited click tracking, and custom domains can cost less than your monthly coffee habit.

Today's lineup follows that same rebellious spirit, five tools designed to help you build, automate, and scale without the enterprise price tag.
