#194 - Nov.2024

Happy Friday!

💡 Here is a quick idea before you head off to the weekend:

Technology is being adopted faster than ever before.

These are different products and how long it took to reach 100M monthly users (source: Everys): 

- Google Translate: **78 months**
- Uber: **70 months**
- Telegram: **61 months**
- Spotify: **55 months**
- Pinterest: **41 months**
- Instagram: **30 months**
- TikTok: **9 months**
- ChatGPT: **2 months**

This is an opportunity for businesses to change to reinvent themselves continuously. 

The companies that build strong customers bonds and trust will win in the long run.

**🧪 Tools I'm experimenting with** 

[**ChatGPT Canvas**](https://openai.com/index/introducing-canvas/?ref=cesarrg.com)

> *A new interface for working with ChatGPT on writing and coding projects that go beyond simple chat. Canvas opens in a separate window, allowing you and ChatGPT to collaborate on a project*

**🧠 Mental model I learned**

**Narrative Instinct**

*Human beings have been appropriately called “the storytelling animal” because of our instinct to construct and seek meaning in narrative. It’s likely that long before we developed the ability to write or to create objects, we were telling stories and thinking in stories. Nearly all social organizations, from religious institutions to corporations to nation-states, run on constructions of the narrative instinct.* (source: [fs.blog](https://fs.blog/mental-models/?ref=cesarrg.com))
