Today we're announcing the new Opal to build the operating system for attention. 1 million people already use Opal every single day. We raised $10M. Personal AGI is coming. The bottleneck won't be access to intelligence. It will be attention.

The post started a conversation, and the ranking model pays for conversation with reach in the hours after. Bookmarks came in at 407, reposts at 62.
It starts “Today we're announcing the new Opal to build the operating system for attention”, a first-person opening that the founder-account launches in the directory use most. It carries a 1:18 video against a directory median of 65 seconds. Videos between 30 and 90 seconds have a median of 603K views in the directory.
The copy runs 41 words, about the usual length for a launch post here, where the median is 41. The body carries a link, so the post had somewhere to send the reader and paid a little reach for it.
It went out on a Tuesday. Launches posted on a Tuesday have a median of 651K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 880K.
How to announce a funding round covers this: the round is the news and the post has to turn it into customers and hires. For the next one, read launching a product on X from a small account: an account with 4K followers has to earn every view from outside its own following.
Attributing signups to a launch is the guide for it: a save rate this high is the number to follow into the product. Every launch we track in Consumer AI is on that vertical's directory page.
