Two people. $20K to start. $401M in year one... Medvi built a telehealth company with ChatGPT, Claude, Midjourney, and Runway. No engineering team. No VC. 16.2% net margins, triple what Hims & Hers posts with 2,400 employees. Sam Altman predicted the one-person billion-dollar company. This guy just did it from his house in LA. The question for every startup in 2026 isn't headcount. It's how much of your operation can run on AI before you hire your first person 💡

@NimaNaderi2004 @Uare_ai @tbpn Buying lottery tickets 🎰

@ImSamHorton @Uare_ai @tbpn tbh I think they don't have a clear idea of where they are going

OpenAI is buying media companies now. First a tech podcast. Next, who knows 🤷‍♂️... This is the part where AI stops being a tool and starts being the platform, the publisher, and the distribution channel. All at once. Individual AI @Uare_ai exists because of this exact trajectory. If the company building your AI also owns the content you consume through it, who is that AI actually serving?

@futureofprivacy Most AI startups aren't tracking this. They should be. State-by-state compliance is becoming the quiet moat in AI.

#ICYMI: While nearly 100 bills have been introduced across the U.S. to regulate chatbots, lawmakers’ definitions and regulatory approaches vary significantly by state. Learn more about how these differences will impact enforcement. fpf.org/blog/the-chatb…

98 chatbot bills across 34 states. Tennessee just banned AI from posing as a mental health professional. Passed unanimously. Most AI startups aren't tracking this. They should be. State-by-state compliance is becoming the quiet moat in AI. 📸 @futureofprivacy

OpenAI just acquired TBPN. AI is evolving beyond raw intelligence. It’s moving into the creator layer. TBPN is relatively new. But it already represents something powerful: Creators owning distribution, audience, and narrative. That's why this move is bigger than it looks. Media and attention are part of the other side of building great products. Now AI is entering that space deeper. The next phase won’t be won by better models alone. It will be won by trust and authenticity. As AI enters the conversation, it has to feel personal. That’s where Individual AI becomes inevitable. If creators own their audience and distribution, shouldn't they own their AI too?

@Uare_ai Absolutely ✅

@ImSamHorton Your AI needs to know you.

$80B market by 2030. 90% of content will be AI-generated by EOY. The question isn't whether AI makes the content. It's whether the AI making it actually knows you, or just knows the algorithm. That's the difference between Individual AI and everything else. Your AI should sound like you, think like you, and work for you. Not for the feed. Source data: @GrandViewInc

@DoctorYev @Uare_ai Might get there faster

@ImSamHorton @Uare_ai 90% is actually crazy high

@DoctorYev This is true.

@ImSamHorton For the general public, the masses always give up data and control unfortunately

OpenAI just announced they're building an "AI superapp." ChatGPT, Codex, browser, agents, all in one app. Their words: "a single system that can understand intent, take action, and operate across applications." One company's system. One company's intent. One company decides what "action" means. That's not AI for you. That's AI for them, with you inside it. The alternative isn't a bigger app. It's AI you actually own. That's what we're building at @Uare_ai.

Every time you search... Every time you post... Every time you chat... You're feeding a model. Someone else owns what you built. That deal deserves a harder look 🔍

@DoctorYev @blocks @Oracle It's happening!

@ImSamHorton @blocks @Oracle interesting story actually, going all-in on AI

Atlassian cut 1,600 people last month to "self-fund AI investment." @blocks cut 4,000. @Oracle cut 30,000. The list keeps growing. In October, Atlassian's CEO said they'd hire MORE engineers because of AI. Not fewer. Five months later: 900 R&D roles gone. This is the pattern. AI arrives. Headcount drops. Productivity stays with the company. The people who built the product don't get the benefit of the AI that replaced them. That's the problem we're fixing at @Uare_ai. AI should work for the individual. Not the other way around. 📸 @TechCrunch @szkutakrebecca

@Kanoa_Kenobi Great points!

RT @Kanoa_Kenobi: 93% of IT leaders are deploying AI. 23% of consumers trust them to do it with their data. That 70-point gap is not a com…

That's like equivalent economy of entire Sweden. Crazy.
