Raindrop (Raindrop) is building the safety layer for AI agents. As agents get more capable and take on more complex work, Raindrop detects when they go wrong in production, from failed tool calls and hallucinations to problems companies didn’t even know to look for. Now they’re launching Raindrop Simulations,...

@raindrop_ai the failed tool call case is the one i keep hitting. a coding agent can burn 20 minutes on one bad command unless the run writes the exact error before retrying.

@raindrop_ai Agent safety at scale is the defining infrastructure challenge now. As multi-agent systems move from workflows to autonomous execution, building real-time production guardrails is brilliant. Fascinating to watch this layer mature globally.

@raindrop_ai Agent failures happen because teams force probabilistic LLMs to do deterministic jobs. When you replace cloud hallucinations with mathematically bound expert logic on local silicon, the "failure surface" shrinks to zero. Logic > Probabilistic bloat. ♟️

@raindrop_ai Production detection is where this gets real. Can Raindrop trace a bad outcome back to the tool call or model decision that caused it?

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.

"Stop building AI agents. Build AI employees instead." Here’s my new episode with Pedro Franceschi (co-founder Brex), who showed me why AI employees with a specific job, skills, manager, and budget are better than AI agents, including: → A live demo of Jim, his AI employee to source and recruit job candidates → How to prevent your AI agents and employees from leaking company data → Why he still uses OpenClaw to run his life and $5B business Some quotes from Pedro: “Focus on building virtual employees versus open-ended agents that could do a million things.” “You’re now able to sell the work itself versus just selling the software.” “Because it’s so easy to build things now, having discernment on what matters is more important than ever. What is a true lever to actually deliver value in a unique way? Let’s go do this one thing, even though we could do five or ten." 📌 Watch now: Thanks to our sponsors: Riverside: All-in-one AI studio for podcasts and video Linear: The AI agent platform for modern teams

New short course: Building Code Agents with Hugging Face smolagents! Learn how to build code agents in this course, created in collaboration with Hugging Face, and taught by Thomas Wolf, its co-founder and CSO, and m_ric, Hugging Face’s Project Lead on Agents. Tool-calling agents use LLMs to generate multiple function calls sequentially to complete a complex sequence of tasks. They generate one function call, execute it, observe, reason, and decide what to do next. Code agents take a different approach. They consolidate all these calls into a single block of code, letting the LLM lay out an entire action plan at once, which can be executed efficiently to provide more reliable results. You’ll learn how to code agents using smolagents, a lightweight agentic framework from Hugging Face. Along the way, you’ll learn how to run LLM-generated code safely and develop an evaluation system to optimize your code agent for production. In detail, you’ll learn: - How agentic systems have evolved, gaining greater levels of agency over time—and why code agents are a next step. - How code agents write their actions in code. - When code agents outperform function-calling agents. - How to run code agents safely in your system using a constrained Python interpreter and sandboxing using E2B. - To trace, debug, and assess the code agent to optimize its behaviours for complex requests. - How to build a research multi-agent system that can find information online and organize it into an interactive report. By the end of this course, you’ll know how to build and run code agents using smolagents, and deploy them safely with a structured evaluation system in your projects. Please sign up here!

Agents shouldn’t be one-size-fits-all. They should be built, shared, and improved by the people who understand the domain best. Agent Marketplace is live on OptimAI Search. Anyone can: • create their own agent • inject custom knowledge and logic • publish it for others to use and build on What starts as a prompt becomes a reusable unit of intelligence. As more agents are created and used, the system compounds - better agents, better outputs, more value across the network. This is how intelligence scales: not from a single model, but from a network of specialized agents.

In the future, you’ll be able to accomplish a goal by just giving Claude an outcome and a budget. That’s the direction Anthropic is building in with its new Managed Agents features, announced at this week’s Code with Claude developer event. The basic idea: Claude, wrapped in a computer in the cloud, that you can spin up, scale, and manage as needed. Anthropic is taking on the infrastructure that kills most agent products, and making sure that it scales to meet the needs of agents running 24/7. On this week’s AI & I from Every 📧, I talk with Angela Jiang (Angela Jiang), head of product for the Claude platform, and Katelyn Lesse (Katelyn Lesse), head of engineering for the Claude platform, about what Anthropic is building and what it takes to make agents reliable in production. We get into: - Why the "build a generic harness, hot-swap any model behind it" playbook is already outdated. Angela points to eval data on Memory where the same task across different harnesses performed drastically differently. - The infrastructure wall every team hits in production—and why Katelyn thinks “my sandbox died and took the agent with it” is the real reason internal agents don't ship. - Why Anthropic is so bullish on using file systems and skills within Claude, including Angela's argument that those early design choices can compound for years. This is a must-watch for anyone trying to take an agent past the demo and into production. Watch below! Timestamps: How the Claude platform evolved from API to agents: 00:01:48 The primitives that make up Claude Managed Agents: 00:04:09 Why the harness and the model are becoming a single unit: 00:10:37 The infrastructure wall that kills most agent projects in production: 00:18:49 Why team agents need a different shape than individual productivity tools: 00:24:49 How Anthropic's legal team uses an agent to review marketing copy: 00:26:36 Using multi-agent orchestration for advisor strategies, adversarial pairs, and swarms: 00:34:24 How to measure agent success with outcome and budget as the end state: 00:35:50 What the platform looks like a year from now, when Claude writes its own harness: 00:39:11

$SERV is the Fiverr/Shopify for AI agents. OpenServ provides a platform and marketplace to create, find, and employ AI agents. Here's why it can be a leading Agent marketplace and is undervalued compared to where it can go. ———————————————————— To put this in perspective, we will take this from the top down. Let's look at the valuation mismatch. → Shopify: $140B → Fiverr: $1.2B → $SERV: $37M AI agent platforms can completely replace these businesses. Why? → Can automate operations (i.e. store setup, inventory management, and customer support autonomously, etc.) → Agents can hyper-personalize the shopping experience → Store owners can own their data and have more control → Marketplaces are a cheaper/faster solution AI agents make things more convenient by performing tasks autonomously. They are inevitable. ———————————————————— The AI Agent market is projected to reach ~$50B by 2030. So the potential is MASSIVE. What makes me so bullish on $SERV specifically? There are 3 things: 1️⃣ The Tech They are targeting Web 2 businesses. This gives the platform the most upside potential imo, both in terms of adoption and valuation. These are some noteworthy highlights: → No-code AI Agent builder (anyone can build) → Builders can generate income using agents → ANY agent can cooperate with ANY agent through SERVs platform → Offers multi-agent collaboration, while allowing for human input/customization This sets them apart from other crypto-centric AI agent marketplaces. OpenServ allows you to create a team of agents to carry out complex tasks, all while automating the process and packaging their solution for Web 2 businesses. Simple tool, easy execution, and limitless productivity. Which business/individual wouldn't want to do MORE in LESS time at a rate MUCH LESS than solutions already available? ———————————————————— 2️⃣ The Team They have a stacked team. → Founders: Experience in businesses & startups → CTO: 20+ years of experience in ML/AI → CFO: ex-JP Morgan VP → CMO: ex-IBM AI & Blockchain Marketing Director Within the last few weeks/months, they have added a UI/UX designer, 4 more devs, and more devs + a product manager coming. You could have the best tech but the team is what determines its success. In this case, the team has the knowledge/experience to see this through. They have been building for a year and the progress made is a good sign of what's to come. ———————————————————— 3️⃣ The Tokenomics A percentage of transaction volume on the platform will be used to buy back and burn the $SERV token. This creates and maintains buy-side pressure and demand. To put that in perspective, Fiverr & Upwork had a combined transaction volume of $5B. The demand for Agents wont slow down anytime soon. Demand for AI agents will translate into demand for the token. I love deflation. It's simple, clean, and effective. ———————————————————— ➡️ Final Thoughts I've held on tight to my $SERV bag because the platform is launching in Q1. This will mark the beginning of their journey to the top. Agents are inevitable. Integration with Web 2 businesses is inevitable. And the platform launch is coming as alt szn is kicking off. The stars are aligning. At the same time, AI companies are already showing interest in the platform. Developers lead to more users, bringing monetization opportunities, which brings more developers, and so on. A powerfully designed flywheel. This is a new and exciting sector. I expect interest and liquidity to be focused on AI Agents and the infrastructure around them. Max opportunity is right here in this sector.

From building internal AI labs to becoming CTO of Brex, James Reggio has helped lead one of the most disciplined AI transformations inside a real financial institution where compliance, auditability, and customer trust actually matter. We sat down with James Reggio to unpack Brex’s three-pillar AI strategy (corporate, operational, and product AI), how SOP-driven agents beat overengineered RL in ops, why Brex lets employees “build their own AI stack” instead of picking winners, and how a small, founder-heavy AI team is shipping production agents to 40,000+ companies. Reggio also goes deep on Brex’s multi-agent “network” architecture, evals for multi-turn systems, agentic coding’s second-order effects on codebase understanding, and why the future of finance software looks less like dashboards and more like executive assistants coordinating specialist agents behind the scenes.
