Incredible weather in SF today but no one knows how to dress here. I just feel out of place with NYC fashion.
Aside from the case study with Perplexity(!), I think agents doing work here is understated. “80+ meetings without a single BDR” The software model is fundamentally changing from copilot (help you draft emails) to outcomes (book meetings). There’s a lot of noise in the AI…
Perplexity used @unifygtm to book 80+ meetings in 3 months without a single BDR we'd love to help your revenue team do the same s/o to @perplexity_ai and @jennysvng for being incredible partners
Aaron has been nonstop posting about agents but this one is fantastic. Every product team is now having to think through whether to layer on something incremental or burn the boats and ship a new agent UX. I recommend having designers in the room. It’s more important than…
Almost everything about how we’re building enterprise software products is changing right now. For years when you built SaaS products, your entire design focus was how a user would interact with the system to accomplish their task, by themselves or collaboratively. Now many of…
📍 SF for the next week. Would love to connect with founders & builders looking for help with design/product. DMs open.
Grok companions is a big brain international strategy. I think Grok users might surpass X users in the next year. Most of the growth for AI consumer apps will come from international markets (look at ChatGPT, IG, WhatsApp). Waifus put Grok #1 on the global charts.
My friends at @crosbylegal are hiring a founding designer in NYC! Incredible opportunity to transform legal services for customers like Cursor. I think design has the most important role in crafting the future of AI agents.
What a baller move. Killer M&A done in 72 hours. Congrats @ScottWu46 @jeffwsurf @russelljkaplan 🔥
Cognition has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Windsurf. The acquisition includes Windsurf’s IP, product, trademark and brand, and strong business. Above all, it includes Windsurf’s world-class people, whom we’re privileged to welcome to our team. We are also honoring…
$NVDA $HOOD $BTC hit ATH this week. Sinner/Alcaraz and PSG/Chelsea finals tomorrow. Life is good.
If I was @vladtenev, I'd buy Wealthfront with all stock. HOOD is +150% YTD and Wealthfront is sitting on $80B in total assets. Wealthfront's latest private valuation was ~$2B. Seems no brainer to me to acquire Wealthfront and cross-sell Gold sub, better trading UX, IRA, card.
What I’m bullish on in a post-AGI world: - Prediction markets (Polymarket, Kalshi) - Online casinos (Stake) - Leverage products (Hyperliquid) - Consumer trading (Robinhood) - Skincare, aesthetic, and wellness products
Bullish on Korean skincare. Post AGI, more people (especially men) will spend on wellness, beauty, and aesthetics.
People underestimate the importance of design choices in AI products. OpenAI's primary interface was a Playground where you wrote one prompt and got an output. If you wanted to try again, you'd have to edit this single input box. Then came ChatGPT, a conversational interface to…
LinkedIn is giving their employees a full week off for July 4th. This is what a monopoly looks like btw.
