How are companies using AI to replace traditional software?... Lovable Co-Founder and CEO Anton Osika explains: "Every time they're looking at new software or new tools, they consider, can we just build this at Lovable instead?" "And so far, they've switched out ten different applications… and saving $1 million per year."show more

in software, we're entering a new age of skyscrapers:... rather than a small group of humans hand-typing code into a computer, software is now built by thousands of humans and agents working together to build applications at a scale that was previously unthinkable. the unsung heroes of this new era are infrastructure engineers. they are the people who are figuring out how to make software with 100x the amount of code, and 1000x the amount of contributors actually work OpenAI is one of the few companies already operating at this scale so we Every 🪨 spent a few days deep inside of the company to learn how their infrastructure team thinks about building software skyscrapers—and how they use agents to do it one of the most important articles we've written this year:show more

I lead written socials at Lovable and today I... built an AI clone of myself with Lovable and our new Slack connector. It proactively monitors relevant sources and reaches out to me when it finds an opportunity. I can also tag it with a post idea, and it will help write it. The coolest part is that it improves over time as I give it feedback! Below is how I built it.show more

Today we’re introducing Google AI Threat Defense - a... comprehensive AI-powered cybersecurity solution designed to help continuously monitor for and stop AI-powered threats before they can impact your business. Here’s how it works: 1. AI Threat Defense uses our cybersecurity platform Wiz to scan and prioritize what applications and systems have the highest security risk. 2. Gemini and other frontier AI models can then autonomously perform continual deep scanning of your applications - starting with those at the highest risk - to identify security vulnerabilities. 3. The capabilities of CodeMender - a new software repair agent - are then used to verify and accelerate the patching of vulnerabilities. 4. And our Wiz autonomous agents continuously test your systems to find unknown vulnerabilities before adversaries do so that you can remediate them before you are attacked. While other model providers focus on using AI to find and flag vulnerabilities, Google AI Threat Defense actively prioritizes your most critical real-world risks and accelerates their remediation using a variety of models since no single model finds a superset of the vulnerabilities found by all other models.show more

I spent a month in Shenzhen visiting factories and... robotics companies, and the contrast with the U.S. was striking. While Figure and Boston Dynamics hide their humanoids behind closed doors, Chinese companies have massive showrooms open to the public. But what really stood out wasn't just the transparency, it was how good they are at selling. Take UBTech: they've already sold 1,200 humanoid units at $200k each to factories. And here's the kicker, these robots aren't even that useful yet. They can only pick up and drop boxes at 1/10th the speed of a human, and factories still need to hire system integrators to train them for specific tasks. My theory is that these factories are terrified of getting left behind in the robotics/AI wave. They're investing in new tech not because it's ready, but because they can't afford to wait. The second surprise was the breadth of their robotics portfolio. These companies aren't just building humanoids, they're deploying service robots everywhere: restaurants, hotels, apartments. Consumer robots are cleaning houses, pools, pet waste, dishes. They're covering the entire spectrum. But the education piece shocked me most. I picked up what I thought was a high school or college robotics textbook, it was for primary school. The government mandated AI and robotics education starting in elementary school. Almost every single school in China now has AI and robotics curriculum, complete with education robots so kids can learn by building. They're creating a generation that grows up fluent in robotics and AI. China owns the supply chain and the hardware stack. But here's what I think people are missing: the race isn't just about who can build robots faster or cheaper. The U.S. advantage has always been in the layer between hardware and human, the interaction design, the software intelligence, the intuitive interfaces that make complex technology feel natural. China is building the physical infrastructure, but they're also learning fast. Every deployed service robot, every classroom full of kids building with education kits, every factory running humanoids, that's all data collection at scale. The window for the U.S. to establish its wedge is narrowing. It's not enough to be better at AI or software anymore. We need to be building the integration layer, the intelligence that makes physical AI actually useful, not just impressive in a showroom. Because right now, China isn't just manufacturing robots. They're manufacturing a robotics-native culture, and that might be the most defensible moat of all.show more

COMPANIES ARE STARTING TO REPLACE FINANCIAL WORK WITH AI... AGENTS. And this is probably one of the most advanced examples so far. Brex just launched its “Agentic Finance” system: → AI that approves expenses automatically → flags suspicious purchases or expenses before approving them → categorizes and reviews transactions in real time → automates accounting tasks and reporting → chases down receipts and documentation automatically → answers financial questions with AI → helps speed up the books close Most companies still manage their finances with: • PDFs and Excel • manual approvals • painfully slow processes • entire teams doing repetitive tasks With this kind of AI agent, companies can deliver faster services, with fewer errors and far less And very few companies yet understand how important that’s going to be. Great work, Brex Link below👇show more

$AMD CEO: “We are 2 years into 10-year AI... buildout.” Lisa Su said this last year and $AMD reached an all-time high this year as GPU and CPU demand is skyrocketing. We are still at just year 3 of a decade-long infrastructure buildout. McKinsey estimates AI infrastructure spending will reach $5-$8 trillion by 2030. And then we’ll still have at least a few more years of rapid buildout to reach sufficient capacity to train next-gen models and serve every inference demand at attractive prices. Then all this infrastructure will need to be renewed every 4-5 years. Selling $AMD here means selling it just at the beginning of the largest IT buildout.show more

Valthos builds next-generation biodefense. Of all AI applications, biotechnology... has the highest upside and most catastrophic downside. Heroes at the frontlines of biodefense are working every day to protect the world against the worst case. But the pace of biotech is against them: more powerful methods to design biological systems, with near-universal access, open up an increasing surface area of threats. In this new world, the only way forward is to be faster. So we set out to build the tech stack for biodefense. Our team of computational biologists and software engineers applies frontier AI to identify biological threats and update medical countermeasures in real-time. We are backed by $30M from OpenAI, Lux Capital, Founders Fund and others including Definition. We are actively hiring engineers to join in the mission - if that sounds like you, get in touch.show more

NEW WORK 🚀 We recently shipped This is one... of many launches that will build upon Ramp's vision. And if you really looked, you may have spotted some new brand elements. Today, we’re sharing the first look at our evolved brand. We’re calling it Solar System because of our primary Ramp brand color. The idea was simple: build a brand system that behaves like jazz. Why? Because the world is changing too fast. The speed at which we’re shipping at Ramp will only increase and the world will only get more unpredictable. As we build this world, we realized we needed a new system — new ingredients, musical notes, and tools — that behaved more like software and nothing like the old way of brand building. Most brands optimize for consistency: “We always look like this.” We’re building for coherence: “We evolve, and you still know it’s us.” Brand as software is the operating principle in this new AI era. A system that can move at the speed of culture, learn while we grow, without losing focus of our core purpose: saving companies time and money. We built this first version in four weeks. We'll keep improving it out in the open. I’m insanely proud of the heart and care this team put into the work. Personally this is the fastest I've ever evolved a brand, and it was only possible because of this group.

Took 30 minutes and what would've been an annoying analysis with excel is now a matter of secondsshow more

Introducing Poetic: a new AI system that executes complex... multi-hour tasks with 99%+ accuracy and 10x fewer tokens than agents. We raised $50M at $500M from Kleiner Perkins, Founders Fund, First Harmonic, and Genius Ventures to build AI that does complex work inside Fortune 500 companies without hallucination. While code is too brittle, agents are too unpredictable. The work that runs the global economy - anti-money laundering, fraud investigations, underwriting - needs extreme accuracy. So we built a new kind of software that pairs the flexibility of AI with the predictability of code. When the world stays the same, Poetic runs fixed code: fast, cheap, identical every time. When the world changes, Poetic uses AI to regenerate its approach and find its way back to the objective. In one year, we went from zero to an eight-figure run rate as a team of four. Since then, we’ve scaled the team and executed the highest-stakes processes at AIG, SoFi, and Chime. At SoFi, a large US bank, Poetic reached 99%+ quality on fraud investigations in five weeks.show more

This is actually true. Women are happiest when they... don't need to think. They just arrive at an airport and a jet is waiting. How does a private jet get organized? Who knows. New country, arrive at a 5-star, have a great time. Have no idea how they got there, how much it cost, how it was organized, how they're getting home. Zero. They literally want to turn their brains off and smile when they're with the man they love. Logistics kill smiles.show more
