Last week Apple previewed the future of Siri. In 1987 though, Apple showcased a far more advanced AI assistant that would change how we use our computers entirely. It could see you, control your computer, and even looked and sounded human. They called it Knowledge Navigator. For nearly 40 years it remained science fiction. This past week at @tavus we finally brought it to life with the help from our friends at @cerebras. Meet Dom:

Today we're launching MCP Studio because MCP needed an upgrade. The future is not one MCP server per application. It's a single server that brings the right tools across many systems together for one task. Here's the problem we kept seeing. Most MCP servers today mirror an application. They expose every tool it has and hand the whole pile to an agent. It demos beautifully. In production it strains: more tools mean more tokens, more complexity, and more governance challenges. Real enterprise work doesn't live in one system. Customer onboarding alone can span Salesforce, Snowflake, NetSuite, ServiceNow, Workday, and an internal database no one has touched in years. Stitching those into one workflow takes business context, not just access to more tools. So we built MCP Studio differently. You describe the outcome you want an agent to achieve. It discovers what's available across your systems, assembles only the tools and context the task actually needs, applies your governance, and ships a production-ready server. No integration code. No hand-authored tools. And it reaches systems that were never built to speak MCP. On-prem and legacy included. Traditional MCP servers mirror applications. MCP Studio mirrors business processes. - 600+ enterprise systems with 10,000+ available tools - Built to the open standard, so it works with any MCP client: Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot - Easy to build, just give it a prompt or a document MCP Studio is in Early Access now. I'd love for you to give it a try and tell me what you build. Link in comments. #MCP #AIagents #EnterpriseAI #Nexla

AI is rapidly transforming the venture and entrepreneurial ecosystems, across all industry sectors. Our Managing Director @CoatsDavid joined Quinn Li, SVP & Global Head of @QualcommVenture, on a panel last week at an event in San Diego hosted by @CooleyLLP and @AxosBank to discuss this topic. Thanks to Cooley and Axos for hosting such a great event, and for bringing together people from all parts of the ecosystem to share thoughts on this critical transformation. #CorrelationVentures #AIInnovation #VentureCapital #SanDiego #AI

We had the pleasure of bringing together an incredible group of founders and VCs at Cubita in San Francisco this Wednesday and the weather did not disappoint. A huge thank you to @BancOfCal for sponsoring and helping make the evening possible. Until the next one! #VC

Proud to back Blossom in their Series A as they build the AI operating system for psychiatry. Congrats to the whole team on this milestone!

We created AI that generates real-time lifelike video and drives cars autonomously. And yet, for decades, performance reviews have remained the most dreaded, manual, soul-sucking ritual in modern work. Until today. I’m incredibly proud (and honestly a little emotional) to announce that @trywindmill built the first AI performance review system that people actually like. No more: Employees copy-pasting a year’s worth of wins across 27 tabs Managers burning entire weekends digging through Slack & Docs HR teams playing whack-a-mole with spreadsheets and overdue forms With Windmill AI Performance Reviews, great feedback happens continuously, fairly, and effortlessly. The era of manual performance reviews is dead, forever. If you’re still stuck in manual performance review hell in 2025, life doesn’t have to be like this. Tag an HR leader at a company that deserves a better life and we’ll treat a handful of them to a Michelin-star dinner on us.

Excited to share I’ve been elected President of the @NotreDame Technology Forum (NDTF) in SF! Kicked off with VC Uncoded event last week—featuring leaders from @bloomreach_tm, @intercom & @Stanford + a fireside chat with @TrevorKienzle on AI & venture trends. Let’s go Irish☘️

Thrilled to announce Express, a conversational data engineering platform, powered by agents, that makes working with data as simple as describing what you need. The biggest blocker to AI adoption isn’t the models - it’s the complex, time-consuming process of preparing and integrating data from hundreds of systems. Express solves that! Describe what you need in natural language. Express figures out where the data lives, connects to it, transforms it, and prepares it for use. No coding required. Production-ready in minutes. The teams that move fastest with AI will be the ones who can unlock their data fastest. Now, anyone can, with Express. Try it today → express.dev
