Summary
https://www.graphed.com/ - AI data analyst to build dashboard and get insights In this episode, I chat with Niels Klement (Head of Growth, Perspective) about how “app-feel” mobile funnels—with quiz questions, instant personalization, and 1-second load times—are crushing the old landing-page model.
