Great to have @btaylor by @southpkcommons for his -1 to Now. Packed 🔥 room. One quote that really resonated: "I don't believe in fail fast…it's more important to have a view of the future. Strong opinions weakly held around the how, but ground it in a deep obsession of the…
What do Google Maps, the Facebook Like button, and Salesforce’s enterprise strategy have in common? ➡️ @btaylor. Now as co-founder and CEO of @SierraPlatform, he’s helping companies deploy enterprise-grade AI agents and has a message for AI founders: the tech is evolving fast,…
Blown away by the nuance of the bugs that @cursor_ai's Bugbot is able to catch. So great at reviewing AI-generated code.
Bugbot was built to work better with Cursor than any other code review tool. Writing, fixing, and reading code are tightly coupled.
Models are extremely effective at reasoning. Do we need them to have memory too, or can we build that on the side? Does every application need the same memory?
Software is like a lawn, you have to tend it. And no company wants to maintain software, it's just a cost center. We've spent the past 25 years convincing companies that the total cost of ownership of building software is worse than SaaS, quite successfully by the way. Now let's…

How do you predict the future? You invent it. Silicon Valley legend @btaylor swapped stories at SPC before his fireside chat, stay tuned for the full -1 to Bret Taylor talk coming soon!
Today, if you have a question, you ask an LLM and it answers with what's essentially a one-time-use website. So it's easy to imagine a future where you talk to any device at home or in the office, and every pixel on screen is generated in response to what you asked. No grids or…
Eric Schmidt says traditional user interfaces are going to go away. The WIMP model (windows, icons, menus, pull-downs) was built 50 years ago. In the age of agents, UI becomes ephemeral. Generated on demand, shaped by intent, not layout.

As more companies deploy customer-facing AI agents, we’re seeing a brand new role emerge — the AI architect. These people help manage, coach and improve agents, often from within customer service/operations teams. Key skills include: (1) an understanding of the technology, and…
Technical milestones vs outcomes - agents are a means to an end, not an end in themselves. Driving top line sales growth. Increasing retention in a subscription business. Saving millions of dollars in operating expenses.
advice from @kevinweil - today's models are the worst AI you'll ever use. Iterate on the edge of what's possible, and if you're 70% successful now in a few months that'll be 90%. It's why for customer service we advise businesses to start early, focus on easier use cases (don't…
