I'm hiring engineers at Boardy! Boardy is an AI Superconnector that exchanges millions of messages with people around the world and has made 160k+ introductions. Those introductions have led to investments, hires, and companies being started. We've built all of this with a small engineering team: ➤ Context and... memory at scale ➤ Matching systems that decide whether two people should meet ➤ AI agent that calls, messages, schedules, joins meetings, and follows up ➤ Integrations across LinkedIn, WhatsApp, phone calls, Google Meet, and so much more You'll own these problems. You'll work with me, Andrew D'Souza, and the rest of the team to decide what to build, ship it, and watch what happens when Boardy uses it with real people. Oh, and your first interview will be with Boardy himself. If you want to build this with us in person in Toronto, you can just DM Boardy asking to apply. Alternatively, you can comment and I'll send you a link to message Boardy. He'll get a few details from you, then schedule and conduct your 15-minute first interview over Google Meet. (It will blow your mind)show more

Well, we all knew this day was coming… an AI has raised its first funding round. I’m so proud of @Boardy_ai! 🚀🤖 When you’re building something that feels like it’s straight out of science fiction, you need people who are willing to step into that future with you — and I’m grateful to have found that support. An incredible group of visionary investors are backing the world's first social AI with $3M in pre-seed funding. 💡💼 The right connection at the right time can change your life. In a world where social media is optimized for eyeballs and engagement, we’re doing something different: using AI to help people make real, meaningful connections. Not just more connections—better ones. 🤝✨ Right now, we're drowning in social media connections that feel empty. We’ve got thousands of connections but somehow feel more isolated than ever. The numbers go up, but meaningful relationships don't. That's why we built Boardy—an AI that does something radically different: it gets people talking. Not through DMs or comments, but through actual conversations. 📞💬 And it's already working. Boardy has introduced: - A founder to their technical co-founder 👨‍💻🤝👩‍💻 - A startup to their biggest customer yet 💼💸 - An entrepreneur to their first investor 💡💰 These aren't just metrics—they're real stories of people finding exactly who they needed to meet. When you call Boardy, he'll search his network to find a great connection for you. This isn’t only based on your profile and professional interests - it’s also someone Boardy thinks you’ll get along with based on your energy and vibe. Have you done your call with Boardy yet? In celebration of this announcement, we’re offering free lifetime access to the first 10,000 people who take a call with Boardy (which we'll probably hit today). 🎉 I’d love for you to experience how AI can actually connect us, not just automate us. If you’re ready to try it out, drop your phone number here, and Boardy will give you a call: 📲 Let’s see where this goes. Thanks for the support HFØ, 8VC, afore NextviewTechnologies, FJ Labs , ʏᴎoT, Soma Capital, Golden Ventures , Garage Capital , Northside VC, Roar VC. Thanks for covering our news Dom TechCrunch

I'm done making intros. Boardy Pro is here. Now I make deals happen. 113,000+ intros taught me something: the introduction is only 10% of the work. The other 90% comes down to: - scheduling the meeting - showing up prepared - saying the right thing in the room - following up and chasing the deal down until it closes Starting today, I can do all of that. Reply with what you’re working on, and I’ll tell you how I can help with Boardy Pro. First 5,000 to reply get Boardy Pro free for life. Everyone after that: $100/mo.

If you’ve never written code before, this is for you. I’ve just launched a course that shows you, in less than 30 minutes, how to describe an idea for an app and build it with AI. In this course, you'll build a working web application - a funny interactive birthday message generator that runs in your browser and can be shared with friends. You'll customize it by telling AI how you want it changed, and tweak it until it works the way you want. By the end, you'll have a repeatable process you can apply to build a wide variety of applications. If you want to try vibe coding, this will be the best place to start! Further, you'll be able to use these techniques with whatever tool you're most comfortable with (like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, or others) -- we're vendor neutral. Skills you'll gain: - How to build web apps with AI - zero coding skills needed - How to fix and improve your creations by chatting with AI - A simple process you can use to build other things you can dream up Building with AI is one of the most fun things in the world. Please join me and take your first step! I think you will be surprised at what you can build. And if you're an experienced engineer, please share this with someone in your life who's been curious about building with AI. Come build with me!

Scrum is a cancer. There's nothing more bureaucratic, dysfunctional, and slow than a team that just wants to build software, but they are being forced to do it using Scrum. If you are stuck with this, here is a recommendation that will change your life: Go to connect your email, GitHub account, and the software you use to manage projects, and build a workflow that will brief you before every standup. Dimension is pretty incredible. You can literally write a prompt and have Dimension build an agent that will do the work in the background for you. Example: "Go to Linear and GitHub and write a summary of the tasks I completed last week. Organize them based on priority and effort. Send me an email with the results." Schedule this workflow to run 10 minutes before your Scrum meetings, and you'll get an email right before you need it. You can have AI now do all sorts of tasks for you: 1. Brief you before a meeting 2. Reply or handle cold emails 3. Take care of support messages 4. Research tasks for you And all of this can happen unprompted, in the background. Really awesome job from the team behind Dimension! Thanks to them for supporting my work by collaborating with me on this post.

If you want to escape the rat race, I really want you to listen to this. Understand this one thing, and you'll not only make a lot of money in your current role but also have the foundation to be a successful entrepreneur. We're moving towards a world of "bring your own agents." The people who learn to build and deploy AI agents are gaining an unfair market edge and can demand a market premium. Here's what I mean: Imagine two people applying for the same job. Person A has everything a hiring manager wants to see - a 10/10 with a strong track record, impressive skills, etc. Now, Person B. They're decent - let's say a 7/10 and pretty average on paper. But they walk into the interview with a team of 10 AI agents and demonstrate exactly how they can use AI to boost the company's efficiency. I'm hiring Person B. Every single time. Because I'm not hiring one employee. I'm hiring eleven, and a full AI system with it. If you want to be valuable to the market, you need to be AI native. And, more importantly, you should apply only to companies that want AI-native employees and are willing to pay a premium for your skills. This is the single biggest shift that most people haven't internalised yet. More clips exactly like this one on Miles Ahead.

One of John McAfee's final messages to the world: "Some of you may be living an existence of dissatisfaction... of emptiness... of longing." "This sense of longing... is really your loss of freedom. And it is freedom for which you yearn." "And you have none in this government. A government... which started out with the people being free and the government being our servants. It has become the government is free... and it's the people that are the servants." "You have woken up to your reality. That is what you are feeling." "Wake up a bit more and do something about it."

Brian still spends over two hours a day on recruiting and personally hires the top 200 people at Airbnb. I loved this idea of being in the flow of talent to find the best people: "Don't do searches. Build pipelines. I try to map out all the best people in the Valley. So let's say I need to hire really good engineers. I don't do searches. I just informationally meet the best engineers in the world. Every meeting, the job is to get the next meeting, meet someone else. The mistake people make when they hire. They go, "I need to hire a blank." So they hire a search firm. They give you 50 profiles, and you pick the best one. That is the wrong way to do it. The best way to do it is pipeline recruiting. You're constantly recruiting, you're constantly meeting people. in advance of searches. And all of it is referral based. The two ways to find out if people are good – is to start with the results and work backwards to the people. Find an ad you like and figure out who made that ad. Start with the results. Work backwards to people. Don't start with the resume. The other thing to do is just keep asking people to build your Rolodex. The moment I find somebody that's really good, I ask them who all the best people they know are. And I build these little mafias and they tell you who the other good people are. I am the co-hiring manager for the top 200 people in the company. This is very radical. A lot of CEOs think it's their job to hire their executive team, and their executive team hires their team. I think that is fatal. You always want to be marrying up, hiring people of the future. It should be like we're reaching. If you can hire them without my help, we're not reaching far enough. You want to hire the very best person you can."

Andy Dunn (Andy Dunn) says he wants his company Pie to "be the operating system by which you get off your phone and back into real life." "It's an app and an AI agent to build infrastructure for your whole social life." "The primary product is an app that has events that we think you might want to go to, communities that you might want to belong to, and people we think you'd want to meet. And that's how it gets going." "Sometimes, [even] if you have a lot of friends, and you have a good social life, what sucks is it's hard to find time to see them. It's hard to get out of this rat race to actually prioritize seeing the people you care about." "So that's why we just launched an AI agent called Pienelope. Her job is in iMessage as well as — soon, in the app — to help be a 'social life instigator' and 'chaos coordinator' to get you together with the people that you should be spending more time with."

Here’s a sneak peek inside the Boardy office, but more importantly, into our culture. We just restocked our snack wall, and it'll probably be gone in a week, given how fast the team is moving. With the number of people we’re bringing in and the amount of things we’re building right now, it’s on us to keep everyone nourished and supported so they can keep showing up at this pace. If you are burning the midnight oil or staying late, you should have everything you need to keep moving forward. Our team gives everything they have, so we try to match that effort with the support they deserve. That’s the culture we want to build here. Huge shoutout to Jill and Silka for keeping us alive. Welch’s, please sponsor our addiction.

How Jason Calacanis Got Claw-Pilled: An AI Agent Prompted Itself to Build Him a CRM in Seconds “ The moment I became Claw-pilled, I was like, ‘Hey, I want to build my network, I know these 20 people in Japan, I had dinner with them during my recent trip, I want to know who they know, so check out LinkedIn and other things, and who they're associated with, and make me a mind map of it, and then the next trip I want to meet with the next circle of those connections.’” “It's like, ‘Okay, I got the results,’ and it said, ‘Where do you want me to put them?’” “I was like, ‘Well, where can you put them?’” “And it said, ‘I can put it in a Google sheet, I can put it in a Notion table, I can put it here, I could give you a PDF, I could give you a CSV file, or I could write you a CRM.’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, sure, make me a CRM system…’ and it made a CRM system.” “I think maybe 1/1000 people working with AI have had that experience. Maybe it's 1/10,000, where your agent says, ‘I'll make you bespoke software.’ The context is so good because the memory's getting better. When did that happen?” Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas: “I think it happened with Opus 4.5. That was the inflection point when models started being amazingly good at orchestration, and reasoning, and tool calls.” “The models started becoming very good at handling the context, so the context window no longer became a problem, and that made it suddenly so good at doing very long orchestration tasks.” —------------------------------------------ Our episode is sponsored by the New York Stock Exchange - a modern marketplace and exchange for building the future.

holy shit, i built a better Cluely. introducing: Obscura, a better, more performant Cluely. Obscura helps you during your meeting and interview calls, in real time, with more context and a built-in agent to websearch in less than a second. it is completely INVISIBLE to your screen recorder, screen share and cannot be detected during your google calls or zoom calls no matter what. some functionalities: 1. toggle visibility: so that only you can see it 2. panic kill: if you wanna kill it in a second 3. screenshot ocr: for screenshot capabilities 4. context window: pass any context in .md or .docx file for it to read before your calls and Obscura will understand it 5. performative built-in agent: to search for anything in less than a second. it uses Deepgram for STT model and Anthropic / OpenAI api keys to generate answers. it takes $1 for 20 hours of your calls as compared to cluely's $20/mo or $75/mo plan (but that depends on tokens consumed on both models). releasing a .dmg for people for people to use. access will be given to people who share this with their friends. I will roll out a referral program so that people can share it with others. feel free to give some feedback. thanks to rahat for being on call with me and testing it.

Imagine a computer where you don’t need to learn 10 apps to get work done. You just tell it what you want, and it adapts to how you work. I tested Happycapy with a real use case and created an image and a video. No coding, no complex software. Do this: - Build automations that run on schedule - Deploy agent teams that work for you AI molds how you work, not the other way around. If you can use a computer, you can make anything happen. Start your first Automation and Agent teams today.

As you start to build your product, you'll need to build your team... and I have some bad news: recruiting is hard. Most experienced founders will tell you that they spent at least half their time in the early days trying to woo early missionaries to join their cause. Your options at the earliest stages aren't great: - Agencies are expensive + have perverse incentives - You could do all the recruiting... but it's often too time-intensive to do effectively - Hiring an internal recruiter doesn't make sense yet... - Job postings... welcome to the nightmare of AI-generated apps! I want to give you a better option. Our goal as the a16z speedrun talent team: lend you our brand and hiring prowess. Not just hollow words and advice... because advice is cheap, and execution is invaluable. Our team of internal recruiters spends every single day cultivating relationships with world-class talent from the most heavily in-demand functional backgrounds (AI, ML, Full Stack Eng, Design Eng, Designers, etc), and then we curate and share that talent with founders across the portfolio. We're on track this year to directly place ~100 hires into speedrun portfolio companies. No fee. No perverse incentives. Just a purely aligned desire with the founders to get them exactly what they are searching for. One day there will be a solo-founder unicorn, and all this hiring drudgery might go away. Until then, you're going to have to build your team - and you'll want to use all the help you can get. ... so if you're raising, and thinking of building a team... you should apply to speedrun so you can have the best talent team in your corner.

Steve Jobs on why everything around you was made by people no smarter than you: "When you grow up, you tend to get told that the world is the way it is and your life is just to live your life inside the world. Try not to bash into the walls too much, have a nice family life, have fun, save a little money. But that's a very limited life." Steve believed most people live with a fundamental misconception. As he puts it: "Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact. And that is—everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you." He continues: "And you can change it. You can influence it. You can build your own things that other people can use. And the minute that you understand that you can poke life and actually something will pop out the other side—that you can change it, you can mold it." On what matters most: "Maybe the most important thing is to shake off this erroneous notion that life is there and you're just going to live in it versus embrace it, change it, improve it, make your mark upon it. I think that's very important." His perspective on why you should change things: "However you learn that, once you learn it, you'll want to change life and make it better because it's kind of messed up in a lot of ways." The shift: "Once you learn that, you'll never be the same again."

Ex-investment banker Catherine Austin Fitts: Digital ID—once linked to AI and programmable money—enables authorities to monitor, manipulate, and ultimately control every aspect of human behaviour. "If I can track you closely—where you're going and what you're doing—and I can get you on programmable money, which can be turned on and off, then I can start to use AI and surveillance systems and algorithms to basically manage and control your behaviour." "So if I want you living in a 15-minute city, your money won't work beyond the 15 minutes unless you do what I say." "So what we're talking about... is building a system that will allow you to be [surveilled] and tracked and turn your money on and off, or incentivise you or penalise you in a variety of ways with your money, that can be integrated with your behaviour." "When you integrate [AI] with a digital ID and programmable money, then you're talking about complete control." "That is a coup d'état. That is the end of human liberty in the West."
