I just wanted to share a bit of appreciation with the team.
This last months I had several consulting sessions helping clients build AI agents using the Fluent ecosystem, and the reaction was always the same: "I've never seen anything this flexible."
Of course, years of consulting (helping creators build businesses, launching products, organizing online events, and designing business systems) probably play a role in finding creative ways to connect all these tools together. Creativity still matters, perhaps now more than ever in the AI era.
But what really stands out is the engineering philosophy behind Fluent.
Every product feels incredibly open. Nothing forces you into a predefined workflow. Everything is customizable, extensible, and designed to be connected with everything else. That makes the ecosystem an absolute joy for anyone building AI-powered businesses or autonomous agents.
I doubt you guys imagined this a couple of years ago while building all these tools, but here we are.
Being able to keep forms, CRM, bookings, payments, communities, automations, courses, email marketing, and now even e-commerce on the same server (with full ownership of the data) instead of stitching together half a dozen different SaaS products (Calendly, Slack, Trello, Asana, Google -eg. Forms-, external checkout platforms, etc.) is something my clients immediately recognize and appreciate.
Today, Fluent has become my favorite stack (not only because of the products themselves, but because of the company's philosophy, the outstanding documentation, and the clear technical care that goes into every release).
Also, I think that it is amazing to be able to share thoughts with the team in an open community like this: something quite strange in the business ecosystem.
So this is simply a round of applause for the entire team.
The consultants, developers, designers, and agencies who build businesses with Fluent often receive compliments from clients. We certainly put our experience and creativity into every implementation (but a big part of those compliments ultimately belongs to the people who spent countless hours designing and engineering these tools in the first place).
Thank you for building software that empowers others to create!
Can't wait for your next crazy late-night product idea. 😄
Thank you, Jorge, for the nice words. We try to keep things simple yet powerful. We build solutions to reduce friction, and that's the whole point.
We are blessed to have you in our community, and I am personally grateful for all the help we get with all the complicated tax and compliance rules along with product improvement ideas. 🙏
Shahjahan Jewel Thank you Jewel. Honestly, the openness of the ecosystem makes it very easy to imagine new use cases, especially now that AI agents need flexible, connected and self-owned infrastructure.
Happy to keep sharing ideas and feedback whenever useful. I really think the Fluent stack is in a very interesting position for what is coming next.
Can’t wait to start testing new flows with FluentPlayer 😄
I've said it before. There is nothing else like the Fluent ecosystem. It's what I always wanted before I ever knew I wanted it.
My career in IT revolved around security, engineering, and architecture. Yet when I learned WordPress, none of that was present in anything people liked to teach.
Then WordPress gets a bad reputation as something slow, loaded with too many plugins, etc. Therefore, WordPress is bad.
WordPress isn't bad. The people who slapped stuff together without a plan or any architecture were the problem. I've had this conversation on LinkedIn multiple times and not one person who initially argued against WordPress ever disagreed with me. The best thing I ever did was use my own professional instincts and discipline when it came time to build WordPress solutions.
Then the missing pieces started falling into place. All of these wonderful tools have a thoughtful architecture that wipes the floor with any random SaaS collection or even other plugin tools.
It's part of a cohesive architecture, and that's what's been missing - until now.
The only difficult part of teaching this to other people is that they don't know that it's the solution they need, so they aren't looking for it.
Perfectly said! No company is perfect, but the Fluent folks have created something special.
