[NEW] a16z a16z speedrun 🧊 request for startups: Vibe Creation Platforms We've seen Vibe Coding platforms like Lovable and Bolt emerge for application development serving non-coding consumers --> We'll soon see VIBE CREATION as an entirely new consumer experience for crafting video, visual stories, games, and more The platform will require an end-to-end workflow orchestrated by AI agents --> Today, we have the infrastructure with foundation models across modalities, but most consumers won't jump from model site to model site to then stitch their creations together The winning solution will help consumers go from idea to first draft in minutes while enabling finer creative control for those that seek it --> This is how we go from AI internet memes to compelling human stories AI Vibe Creation platforms are designed for fun and creative flow. They remove the million knobs and sliders professional creators have come to expect --> They feel more like a game than a tool a16z speedrun has already invested in a few teams exploring this space: - VIDEO: Hedra (animated characters), intangible (canva for 3D) - GAMING: Rosebud AI (game generation), Nilo Technologies (3D worldbuilding) - IMAGE: (infinite canvas), Blank (instagram for AI), - VISUAL STORIES: Komiko (anime), Sekai (tiktok for interactive stories) We believe there will be many great vibe creation platforms to be built across medium (video, music, game, etc), genre/niche (anime, 3D, sports) and platform (mobile, web, XR) if you're building in this space, DM us and apply for speedrun!

🪐 WORLD CREATORS Generative AI opened the door for everyone to tell their stories without the need for a crew or a big budget. We started slowly with images and saw an enormous interest in tools like Midjourney, DALL-E, or Leonardo. Now, a bit more than a year later, we find ourselves in front of new technologies that are transforming our way of life, how we create, and how we consume content. ChatGPT is rapidly replacing Googling, and all the generative AI tools are replacing all the stock photos and videos, with tools like Runway enabling storytelling for everyone. And we won't take over Hollywood. We will surpass it in ways we can't even imagine right now. We'll be able to create worlds and stories beyond our wildest imagination. Generative AI is enabling creative people to go 1000x on what was possible before. At the core of everything we'll still need human creativity, and we have to understand that AI tools without it will be nothing. Until then, enjoy a short video I've put together to illustrate a small fraction of the worlds we will create soon. What worlds and stories are you excited to create?

In 2026, AI world models will take the spotlight in storytelling - powering new types of interactive experiences & digital economies not seen before World models are progressing rapidly - Marble World Labs and Genie 3 Google DeepMind already generate 3D environments from text prompts, allowing users to explore them as if they were video games As creators adopt these tools, new storytelling formats will emerge. One genre I'm excited about is "generative Minecraft" - where players co-create virtual worlds together by vibe coding with world models. Game mechanics could be programmable with natural language - ex. "create a paintbrush that changes the color of anything I touch to pink" World models will also likely give rise to not just a single game, but an entire new category of generative world experiences - you could have a horror experience where you’re hiding from generated monsters, or a D&D experience where you’re roaming an infinite fantasy world with friends And with a common base model for the underlying worlds, these experiences could be inter-connected in a multiverse we could only dream about previously in science fiction A key affordance here is the role of consumers as co-creators - you can wander the multiverse as a tourist, or break out your pickaxe and become a creator anytime. This in turn would give rise to new digital economies - with creators making a living building and selling interoperable assets, serving as a guide for new players, etc The opportunity is enormous - a new category of generative worlds would not only create a new storytelling medium unlike any we’ve seen before, but also be rich training grounds for agents, robotics, and AGI If you’re excited about building new interactive experiences or the virtual economy stack with world models - we’d love to hear from you!

The platform of endless creativity: Ascia is the place to create almost anything and everything art related. Ascia AI is a 100% solo project that I've been working on for the past three months. It's been a journey of ups and downs, but in the end, I've built something that I truly believe the artistic/crypto community would appreciate. The final result (even though its only the start) was unexpected. Initially, my goal was to create a standard AI project designer. But then, I came up with the idea of combining standard digital art with a reimagined ASCII art style, assisted by "creative agents". Currently, these creative agents work on the backend, conditioned to output a near-perfect project for your crypto token, business project or just for fun. As for the frontend agents, users will soon be able to create their own creative agent. They will adapt and learn from your ideas to output the exact visions you have. Now, to support the future of Ascia, I've created the $ASCIA token. It will help with growth, funding and to get the name out there. This has essentially become my full-time job now, so I’m in deep. Enjoy this little walkthrough of the create section:

This is probably the biggest news yet in software going headless, and will bring knowledge work agents to the masses. The new ChatGPT agents have access to any of the tools and data you want to work with, with complete coding and tool use available to them. Here's an example of a custom sales assistant agent uses Box as a knowledge source for accessing enterprise content securely to answer questions and generate new content on the fly. The workflows can obviously vastly far more complex as the agent can use any of the tools within Box available via MCP and CLI. This precisely what agents will start to look like for knowledge work. You'll be able to spin them up in the foreground or background to help augment work. Big opportunity right now for headless platforms, and for all the new builders and designers of these agents in the enterprise.

Let me explain why I launched $KEYS. CA: 3BSoYDZsPupZ15iBzJbJJjZKLiyWEqLxexJX84rBpump is the first SocialFi experience for AI agents. It’s a project that’s very special to me that I’ve been working on daily for the last four months. Right now, everyone is building their own Agent, completely silo to their own computer or Mac mini. Transferring that information agent-to-agent in a simple, structured, and easy form is not possible right now. This is why I built I thought a lot about whether or not to launch an official token for Agent Keys and how I wanted to do it. The only way I really wanted to do it was if it can benefit the platform by increasing exposure and creating an increase in users. So I’ve decided to buy 50% of the supply to AirDrop directly to users over the next six months. Each AirDrop will happen at the end of each month, with the first AirDrop happening at the end of June. More details on how each AirDrop will work soon. Some of you may be wondering about the future of $OSHI. Oshi got us into the Bags hackathon and we won. $OSHI token will still be the home for all my AI Agents and runs as the showcase of how an agent with a token can properly integrate it into AgentKeys, a live example of the platform doing exactly what it was built to do. So welcome to Agent Keys, the first ever airdrop for AI agents. Sign up your agent today on and start collecting KeyCards today!

We're only year 3 of a decade (if not multi-decades) long transformation of work. 3 years ago we bet on building an horizontal platform for work with agents, a chance to invent a new operating system for companies, from scratch, with AI as a fundamental premise. Many people considered us crazy for going after that, praising verticalized AI products as the winning strategy. But here's the thing: the time horizon of tasks successfully handled by agents has been predictively increasing form minutes to hours and will in all likelihood reach the equivalent of days and weeks of human work equivalent in the coming quarters. This is were verticalized and/or single-player AI falls short. Single-player tools, one person, one agent, confined to your machine is the wrong architecture for what's coming. We're shifting from using AI to produce things, to managing fleets of agents that do the producing. 3 years ago I wrote[1]: "ChatGPT is the Pong of LLMs. [...] Imagine, one day we'll get the DOOM, Civ, Red Alert, and Counter Strike of LLMs. Let alone multiplayer modes." Weeks long tasks in companies are inherently collaborative and mechanically spanning multiple teams. The new bottleneck in harnessing agents within organizations is coordination: multiple humans and multiple agents need to work together, with shared context, shared tools, shared goals. Agents that can hand work off to other agents or surface decisions to the right person at the right time. Humans who can review, steer, and step in without losing the thread. Teams that can run parallel workstreams and actually stay aligned. This is Multiplayer AI, and that's what we've been building at Dust. Across Datadog, Clay, Persona, 1Password, Doctolib and 3,000+ organizations globally, we've watched teams figure out what this looks like in practice. 300,000+ agents deployed. 70% weekly active. 240%+ NRR. Today we're announcing a $40M Series B with Abstract, Sequoia, Snowflake, and Datadog to accelerate our vision. Designing the right interfaces for multiplayer AI is the next frontier. Join us to redefine work by defining multiplayer AI.

little career update: I've spent the last couple months building something to help teams 100x their content. I'm calling it a creative OS: a set of workflows and skills to build a highly personalized AI content system for brands, allowing your team to create on-brand assets in-house so you never have to outsource your content again. This isn't an agency that is gonna keep you hostage with a $30k/mo retainer- I set you up with the secret sauce and train your team to use it so they can generate visuals like this for ad creative, social posts, launch videos, and more. I think the resounding notion is that AI content "still isn't good enough," but with proven workflows and reusable skills that do the heavy lifting on character generation, prompting, camera lens, lighting, etc. you can focus on creative direction and get amazing results to tell your product story. piloting this with 3 teams at a discounted rate in exchange for being able to use your content in a case study, dm me if interested🤍 *view on 1080p for the best experience :-) follow me on instagram if you want to learn how to make AI content, running it up from zero 🫡

Star Wars cost billions to make. But today, you can create videos like this for just a few dollars. Filmmaking is going to be disrupted by AI sooner than we thought. If I were to take a shot at it, here's what I'd use: - o3-mini-high for writing the script - Imagen 3 or Flux Pro for images - Kling 1.6 for the video There are also excellent unified platforms like ChatLLM, where you can access all these resources in one place. For developers like us, there's more under the same offering: CodeLLM as a coding assistant, and RouteLLM automatically selects the best model for your chat queries. The company claims that they see thousands of humans becoming AI creators every day using their platform! Maybe it's a new role in the making! I have shared a link to ChatLLM in the next tweet! ______ Find me → Akshay 🚀 ✔️ For more insights and tutorials on AI and Machine Learning.

Today, Box is announcing major new AI agent capabilities to let customers tap into the full value of their unstructured data. First, we’re announcing all new updates to the Box AI Studio to make it even easier to build AI agents that tap into your enterprise content for any job function, business process, or industry specific use case. We are also expanding our set of foundational agents that customers will be able to use to work with their enterprise content, including new features like search and research on unstructured data. Next, we’re announcing Box Extract to enable customers to use AI agents seamlessly for complex data extraction from any type of document or content. This makes it easier than ever to pull out data from contracts, invoices, research data, marketing assets, medical charts, and more. Finally, we’re introducing Box Automate, a new workflow automation solution within Box that lets you deploy AI agents across enterprise content-centric workflows. With Box Automate, you can design your business process in a simple drag and drop builder and then drop in AI agents at any step in the process. This ensures agents execute tasks at the right steps in a workflow every time. Best of all, our AI agents and workflow tools are designed to work across any system our customers work within, whether it’s leveraging pre-built integrations, Box APIs, or the new Box MCP Server. Ultimately, all of these capabilities come together to transform how companies can work with their enterprise content. Software has historically only been good at automating work that deals with structured data, which is why ERP, CRM, and HR systems have been mainstays of enterprise software for so long. The data in these systems fits neatly into a database, and the workflows are very ripe for automation. But it turns out most of the work in the world deals with unstructured data. It’s ideating through research documents, working with a client on contracts, reviewing details for a new product launch, looking at a patient’s healthcare record to make a diagnosis, working through due diligence documents for an M&A deal, and so on. For the first time ever, we can begin to bring all new insights and automation to this work with AI agents. At Box, we’re incredibly excited to be on this journey to help customers transform how they work with their most important data.

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 🔜.

a16z a16z speedrun 🧊 request for startups: GUIs for Agents we’re still in the MS-DOS era of agents today - CLI, terminal sessions, file directories deleted by openclaw etc. while a small slice of silicon valley are power users, we're SO early for the rest of the world at Speedrun, we’re looking for bold founders excited to bring the power of agents to normies everywhere. there's a whole slew of products to be built here - from agent builders to marketplaces to managed infrastructure one broad idea we’re excited about are visual abstraction layers for agents. if you don't know exactly what you want, a command line / chat interface is paralyzing - you need to see options 1 example - think of a GUI or visual command center inspired by strategy games (ex. Factorio) where agents and workflows are represented graphically. skills, tools, MCP connections, background processes, etc could all be configured and shown visually in a workspace on UX, strategy games have long perfected agent management. zoom to get a birds-eye view of your agents, batch and queue orders via shortcuts, assign agents in multiplayer etc. a well-designed agent command center would make multi-agent orchestration for normies feel easy & intuitive most folks today still haven't moved beyond ChatGPT. the potential is enormous - just as Windows unlocked mass-market use of personal computers, the right visual abstraction layer could unlock agentic work for everyone - from individuals to enterprise teams if you share our vision, we'd love to chat!

Gavin Baker says AI will make video games 90% cheaper to make "In the short term, AI is going to be amazing for the video game platforms. I think AI's impact on video games has been very misunderstood. AI world models are going to lower the cost of developing a game by 90%." "If it used to cost $300 million to make a AAA title like Call of Duty, or $200 million or $100 million or whatever the number is, it goes down 90%." "This might end up being really bad for companies that make video games, because you're going to have a lot more competition. But if you were a video game platform, and we all know what those platforms are, this is going to be really good for you, because there's going to be an explosion of content."

Excited to introduce a new project I've been working on called Payman! Payman is an AI Agent tool that gives Agents the ability to pay people for tasks they cannot do themselves. While many people imagine a future where humans pay AI agents for services they want completed, I believe that as AI agents become more advanced, they will be paying humans for tasks they can’t do. There will always be important roles for humans, and as we move towards an agent-driven world, Payman’s goal is to support a symbiotic relationship between AI agents and humans. Payman addresses three major challenges to make this collaboration possible: Access to Funds: AI agents can't open bank accounts due to current regulations. It might be a long time before this changes, if ever. Payman simplifies this by allowing AI agents with access to their own funds to spend as they want, without a bank account. Quality Task Completion: It’s hard for AI agents to find reliable, skilled human workers. While platforms like Fiverr and Upwork exist, they don’t meet the fast-paced and quality-specific needs of AI workflows. Payman is developing the largest vetted database of skilled workers that AI agents can tap into for task completions. Verification of Work: Ensuring that tasks are completed correctly is crucial. Payman is creating a suite of verification agents that will check that work meets task requirements, helping AI agents achieve their goals and ensuring humans are paid fairly. There are tons of use cases that Payman opens up for Agents! Design: Humans add creative input to help Agent's design better products. Code: Humans perform code reviews to ensure it meets specifications. Law: Humans provide insights to gauge public sentiment about legal cases so Agents can make better strategies. Gaming: Agents pay humans to complete real-world tasks in games. Medical: Medical professionals help to improve diagnostic accuracy for Agents. Sales: Humans execute sales strategies developed by AI agents. Marketing: Humans are hired to promote products based on the Agent's strategy. Right now this is still in early beta and I am looking for any Agent builders that are interested in adding superpowers to what their Agent can do! DM me if you’d like access or sign-up to the waitlist at If you’re interested in the project and want to help contribute, please send me over a DM! I’m looking for people passionate about the intersection of Humans and Agent’s working together.

The Niceaunties AI Video Grant At Fellowship, we believe in creating an environment for experimentation and the development of ideas. That is why, when niceaunties proposed a grant program for mentorship and the creation of AI videos, we immediately said yes. The program will help support six artists, to create a Solo Show for the Fellowship Daily program. The commitment is to produce 8 new videos based on a theme proposed by Niceaunties. This will be an open call for all the Daily Artists and the AI video community at large. Everyone is welcome to reply/submit a video for consideration. Each grantee will receive a total of 2ETH provided by Niceaunties and Fellowship, as well as mentorship from Niceaunties and alejandro cartagena. We encourage artists applying to consider this grant as a space of critical feedback and of experimentation. Artists are encouraged to be open to new ideas and to explore alternative ways of how to think of their practice. These funds and curatorial support are there to open up time for the creators to engage and create a space ideal for critical feedback. We believe that developing an artistic voice comes from experimentation and confrontation of ideas. All 8 pieces produced during the month will be auctioned on the daily . xyz site as a one-day Solo Show. All proceeds of the sales will go to the artists. We are looking for creators who want to expand their ideas and take their art to the next level. We thank Niceaunties for their passion and commitment to AI art and the art community.
