Hey everyone,

I’m new in Riga, 39 years old, an entrepreneur, and just getting settled here. I’ve lived in 7 countries and traveled to 40+.

I’d love to meet some like-minded people in the city who enjoy good conversations about business, psychology, ideas, life, and everything in between. Always up for coffee, socializing, and making new friends.

I’m happy to connect with people from different backgrounds.

If you’re around and feel like connecting, feel free to DM me or drop a comment 🙂

Sarah sold 200 headphones last week on Amazon, yet none of them showed up when people asked ChatGPT for recommendations. Her products were performing well in traditional marketplaces, but in the places where buying decisions are increasingly starting, she was invisible. Every month, that gap quietly costs her revenue she does not even see directly. It is not a question of better ads or stronger branding. It is a question of whether her products can be found at all when people are no longer searching the old way.

The system she relies on was built for a world where discovery started with search engines and ended on product pages. Today, that path is breaking. Buyers no longer scroll through links. They ask, compare, and decide in conversations. But most product data was never designed to be understood in that environment. It is fragmented, inconsistent, and difficult to interpret beyond structured marketplaces. As a result, sellers like Sarah are disconnected from where demand is forming.

Atorse (atorse.com) solves this by changing how products are represented at the core. Instead of relying on scattered listings and platform-specific formatting, each product is given a structured fingerprint that carries meaning across systems. It allows products to be understood in a consistent way, regardless of where discovery happens. This is not about adding more marketing layers. It is about making product data readable in the environments where decisions are actually made.

The future belongs to products that AI can actually see, and Atorse makes that possible. It creates a direct link between what people are looking for and what sellers offer, without relying on outdated discovery paths. In this new layer of commerce, visibility is no longer earned through traffic or ads. It is determined by whether a product can be recognized, understood, and surfaced at the moment of intent.

Traffic is down. Sales are slower. Ads cost more. SEO that worked for years is suddenly unpredictable. You can spend months building a brand, improving content, ranking pages, and still see less movement than before.

The reason is simple. Discovery has started shifting away from search engines and into AI systems like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity. People are not browsing pages the same way anymore. They are asking AI what to buy and trusting the answer.

And this is where the real problem starts.

Most brands are not showing up in AI recommendations at all. Not because they are not good, but because AI systems cannot properly understand or structure their products. So even if you are getting traffic from Google, you are slowly becoming invisible in the places where decisions are now actually happening.

This is already showing up in the numbers. Many businesses are reporting 20–40% drops in organic traffic, weaker conversion rates, and rising acquisition costs, while AI tools are capturing more of the top-of-funnel discovery.

And the scary part is, this is still early.

We are moving toward a world where a large share of product discovery is happening inside AI systems, and brands that are not readable to AI are simply not recommended. That means months of SEO, branding, and content can quietly lose impact without warning.

We built ATORSE (atorse.com) to fix this. It turns your product data into AI-readable fingerprints so your brand can actually be understood and recommended inside ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity.

Because the shift is already happening. The question is not whether AI becomes the new discovery layer, but whether your product is visible inside it or slowly disappearing from it.

Go ahead and try it out.

Found this on Linkedin

If you have been building for weeks or months and still don’t have your first real users, you know how frustrating that feels. Getting those first few customers is way harder than it should be.

No traction, no real feedback, nothing to show. Just guessing what might work.

I am putting together a small group of founders who are either about to launch or just launched and are stuck at the same point, getting the first real users.

Simple idea. We help each other:

• Try each other’s products
• Become first customers
• Give honest feedback that actually helps
• Share what is working and what is not in real time

This is not about vanity metrics. It is about going from 0 to your first 10 real users in days.

If you are stuck at zero and just need a few real people to try your product and care, this might be exactly what you have been looking for.

Comment or DM me. I will keep it small and useful.

Update: Interestingly, I’ve got more than 30 DMs, and it’s amazing to see how many people want to help each other. Now I need to find a way to connect the right group of people with the right opportunities.
