"We were go-karting and doing quite well. Now we've moved to Formula 1, and we're in the middle of the pack. We have a shot at the podium but we have to rewire for the race we're in." Akshay Kothari (Akshay Kothari). Cofounder and COO of Notion. Three years from now, most pre-AI companies will be gone. Notion will be one of the few standing stronger than before. This episode is a field study in how they're pulling it off. Knuckle Up ↓ 00:00 Intro 01:27 What were Notion's core founding principles? 06:20 Which early cultural principles scaled, and which broke? 08:22 How did Notion hire its first employees, and where did they come from? 11:48 How does hiring work now that the founders can't meet everyone? 14:35 Why does Akshay, as COO, prefer to have zero direct reports? 19:05 How do Ivan, Simon, and Akshay divide the work? 21:07 Does Notion's intentionality ever conflict with speed? 25:25 What should other founders steal from Notion's culture? 28:11 When did AI become a reason to rethink the whole product? 30:44 Why were the early AI years a "swamp of despair"? 36:05 How do you push AI across a huge product without losing the user? 39:25 Does Notion buy its AI DNA or build it? 40:44 Should Notion be afraid of OpenAI, Anthropic, and fast copycats? 46:58 What's hardest about the reinvention, and what does "meet the LLM" mean? 52:42 Is Notion AI-native in every function yet? 54:36 Are Notion's engineers still writing code, and how has engineering changed? 1:01:07 Once building is cheap, what's the new bottleneck? 1:02:39 How is AI reshaping sales, marketing, and support? 1:09:07 How many agents run inside Notion, and who builds them? 1:11:28 How has recruiting changed for the AI era? 1:13:48 What still worries Akshay about Notion's future? 1:15:22 Quickfire: admired founders, books, overrated AI advice, and Akshay’s superpower 1:19:42 What should a $50M pre-AI company do in the next 90 days?

AI INTERVIEW: OPENAI'S SECRET WEAPON AI agents are no longer just hype—they're here to revolutionize automation, Web3, and beyond. SwarmNode.ai is building a serverless AI agent platform for scalability, efficiency, and real-world impact. In this exclusive interview, he reveals how AI swarms can outperform single models, why OpenAI’s Operator is just the beginning, and how crypto is fueling AI innovation. Plus, he breaks down DeepSeek’s game-changing AI breakthrough, the future of agent monetization, and why serverless AI could be the next frontier in automation. 01:37 – From Engineering to AI: The journey into artificial intelligence. 02:43 – The GPT-3 Moment: How OpenAI’s tech pulled him in. 04:10 – AI’s Biggest Challenge: Why real-world use cases lag behind. 05:05 – OpenAI’s Operator: Why it’s “rudimentary” (for now). 06:25 – Crypto & AI: How tokens help bootstrap AI startups. 08:15 – Can You Bootstrap a Startup with a Token? The trade-offs. 09:56 – 90% of AI Token Holders Don’t Use the Product—Does It Matter? 11:18 – What is SwarmNode?: AI agents, hosted serverlessly. 14:23 – AI Swarms: Why multiple agents outperform single models. 16:08 – What is a Swarm? A simple definition of collaborative AI. 17:32 – “How Can I Make Money with AI?”: Real-world use cases. 18:41 – AI Bounties: Hiring devs to build your custom agent. 20:50 – The Future of AI Marketplaces: Monetizing pre-built agents. 23:15 – DeepSeek’s Disruption: Why it’s good news for AI. 24:46 – Is SwarmNode Compatible with DeepSeek? How it integrates. 26:17 – SwarmNode vs. AI Launchpads: What makes it different? 27:42 – Why Serverless Matters: Cost savings & efficiency. 29:53 – AI Agents in the Real World: Booking flights, managing workflows, and more. 31:11 – Building SwarmNode for Developers: Why it started as a personal project. 32:27 – Explosive Growth: 200,000 AI agent executions in 5 weeks. 34:41 – Why SwarmNode Agents Aren’t Visible on 𝕏 Yet. 36:46 – Startup Hiring Lessons: Finding top AI talent. 39:15 – Why SwarmNode is Built in Python (and What’s Next). 40:32 – Scaling AI Workloads: Handling traffic surges. 41:42 – AWS & Cost Challenges: The biggest monetization hurdle. 42:58 – 2025: The Year of Mass AI Adoption. 45:22 – Should We Be Worried About AI’s Rapid Growth? 46:46 – The Most Underrated AI Tools Right Now. 47:34 – What’s Next for SwarmNode?: Making AI accessible to everyone.

INTERVIEW: Cloudflare Needs 100M TPS from Crypto to Fix the Internet | CEO Matthew Prince The internet is about to be flooded by machines, and Matthew Prince 🌥 thinks the old business model is not ready. The Cloudflare co-founder and CEO joins Bankless to explain why AI agent traffic could overtake human traffic by 2027, how crawlers are changing the economics of content, why ads and subscriptions may not survive in their current form, and how x402, stablecoins, and pay-per-crawl could create a new payment layer for the web.
