I find it more difficult to get into "flow state" as the AI agents are continuously "distracting" me. Similarly to managing a team of 5 excellent engineers with poor communication boundaries.

Yeah, I think Booking.com need to address it on their end too. Especially if these exploits become increasingly sophisticated. So far they haven't responded to my contact.

This matches research done by Let Grow that claims that kids spend so much time on their smartphones because they are on a short leash and would prefer unstructured play time:

As a parent of a 9 year old I often find myself keeping them on a short leash and need to consciously give them the freedom they crave. Reading these articles help me be more aware and courageous.

With any other laptop I wouldn't be paying attention to their latest releases one year after buying a new laptop. With Framework I am excited to see what they release and on the lookout for how I can upgrade my device.

From my experience building a product that is so good that it sells itself is highly unlikely and you will need to spend a good deal of time on marketing.
If you are building a B2B product you could go through direct sales channels and speak to the prospective customers yourself. Get out of your comfort zone and reach out to them directly. In the worst case they will ignore you or tell you that they are not interested. If you are building B2C I think it is significantly harder.
As others mentioned, first you need to find your customer and then build your product. This way you have some guaranteed revenue and (more importantly) feedback.
