In the coming weeks, Pennie Li and I are sharing lively discussions with founders we love, who are building in AI. First, I spoke with my friend Andrew Yan 🏛️ from AthenaHQ (Y Combinator W25), who helps brands shine in generative AI search results. We explored a striking shift in customer discovery. For the first time, a customer found A1Base through an AI chat, not a traditional search engine. This trend is gaining momentum. Andrew revealed that late last year, when ChatGPT tapped fresher data, product discovery transformed. People now ask AI systems, "Which corporate card should I choose?" instead of turning to Google. We faced a tough truth: earning a spot in AI search results isn't easy. To stand out, brands must craft precise content that answers specific prompts and publish it where AI systems look. After years of mastering Google's algorithms, we now confront a fresh challenge: staying discoverable. Those who embrace this shift and adapt will keep connecting with customers as behaviours change. How has AI search reshaped the way people find your products?

Here we go again 🚀! Excited to announce that we're building A1Zap (YC W25) with Pennie Li and that we're in the Y Combinator W25 batch in San Francisco! What is A1Base? A1Base gives AI Agents a real world identity for work. We do that by rebuilding Twilio and Okta from the ground up, putting AI Agents first. This means developers can make AI-first agentic applications 10x easier with our API's. ⁉️ Why are we doing this? Because there's a huge torrent of new valuable companies possible with AI agents, but to get their AI Agents to users, they have to chain custom apps, chat interfaces, awkward Slack integrations, browser bots, and wrestle with Twilio’s legacy API (which is built for marketing). We solve this by providing developers with an easy to use API to interface your AI agent with humans/coworkers/users where they are in this case in Whatsapp, Slack, Teams, SMS and more) - with AI Agent features built in. These digital workers are poised to transform how we work and we're the critical infrastructure to help them interact naturally in human workflows. We're not just building another AI tool. We're creating the infrastructure that will enable AI agents to become a natural part of the workforce - handling everything from customer support to sales development to creative work. We're backed by Y Combinator and working with founding teams who share our vision. We believe that in the near future, AI Agents with human coworkers will enable us to pursue more creative and impactful work. Our mission is to help developers build AI Agents that people can partner with and rely on as trusted allies—always with a human-first mindset. If you're thinking about the Agentic future of your company reach out! If you're looking to build your first AI Agentic company - reach out too - we have some amazing open source templates to get you started on the journey. Excited to share more of what we're up to soon 🔜.

We just built A1Mail - email for AI agents. Turns out the problem wasn't making AI smarter, it was making them communicate like humans. Your executive assistant AI can now have its own inbox and respond like a team member. The early use cases from developers are pretty wild. Sometimes the most transformative tech solves the most mundane problems everyone assumes someone else will handle. Check out A1Zap today!
