Edge City

The world is changing faster than any of us can keep up with alone. The question is: what do you do about it?

There's a version of your life where you spend June in a small town with 500+ of the most curious people we know, riding bikes between sessions and working on what comes next ☀️ Apply now to @EdgeEsmeralda (May 30 - June 27) and make it happen: edgecity.simplefi.tech/auth

How to get to and around Edge Esmeralda 2026. A walkable, bikeable popup village in Healdsburg, CA. Here's everything you need to know ↓

@NotionHQ Big moves 💪

BIG one for devs today. Introducing the Notion Developer Platform: - Notion CLI, ntn (Notion in your terminal) - Workers (run code on Notion's infra) - Database sync (any data source into Notion) - Agent tools (build any workflow) - Webhook triggers (trigger Notion from any app) - External Agents API (bring any agent into Notion) - Notion Agents SDK (use Notion Agents anywhere) - …and a bunch more API improvements And soon, you won't need to be a developer to build on Notion. Your agent will be one for you.

@timourxyz ambient intention ☀️

I think ambient intents are going to be a big deal. There are so many intentions we have that would make our lives better, but the cost of surfacing them to a market it too high, so they never become legible to the world. You want a better job, you want to swap your couch, you would apartment-swap with someone in your web-of-trust, you would upgrade from a two-bedroom to a three-bedroom if there were some graceful way to find the person who wants to size down, and you would love to sublet you place in New York without posting on Instagram and making 95% of you friends read a logistical errand that has nothing to do with them. Right now, the cost of expressing these intents is high. You have to remember the want, decide it is worth acting on, find the right channel, phrase it socially, tolerate the inbound, filter for trust, negotiate details, and then keep the whole thing alive in your head. So most of the long tail dies. Agents change this because they can keep the low-grade, half-formed wants running in the background. They know your calendar, your travel plans, your music, your reading, your friends, your constraints, and maybe your willingness to be interrupted. You listen to a band on repeat on Spotify and your agent notices they are playing 20 minutes from where you will be in California next month. You highlight a book you love in Readwise and it tells you that your friend is reading it too, and you will both be at the same dinner next week. You mention wanting Berlin in June and it quietly checks whether any trusted people from there want to apartment swap in New York then. The magic is lowering the cost of noticing, holding, matching, and negotiating these things. It will feel like a higher level of serendipity. This will require a web-of-trust that has yet to be built because there is an important privacy aspect to this. The dystopian version is "AI companies capture your intentions and auction them to whoever wants to manipulate you." The useful version is user-owned intents, where your agent can prove enough to match or negotiate without dumping your private life into a marketplace. Some of this already has been solved in cryptography: private set intersection for finding overlaps without revealing all non-matches, secure multiparty computation / homomorphic encryption for computing matches or scores over private inputs, zero-knowledge credentials for proving things like membership, attendance, reputation, or trust path without exposing everything underneath. If this works, a lot of modern life gets more liquid. Idea sharing, couches, apartments, reading groups, dinner plans, travel overlaps, introductions, tiny labor exchanges, borrowing a camera, finding the one person at an event who cares about the same weird thing. All the stuff that currently relies on posting into the void and hoping the right person happens to see it. The hard parts are real: consent, spam, weird incentives, agent loyalty, social context, and making sure this becomes a tool for people rather than a new ad exchange with better vibes. But I increasingly think the big unlock is giving our unexpressed intentions a safe place to live, and giving our agents permission to help them find each other. I know of @indexnetwork_ working on this. Anyone else?

Edge Tomorrow is a kids creative residency running alongside @EdgeEsmeralda (30 May - June 27) in Healdsburg, CA. The goal is to have kids conceive, build, and present projects they design for the whole Edge community. Think: pop-up museums, cardboard worlds, short films 💭

Many of us want our children to experience what village life looks like: a place where people of all ages collaborate, learn from one another, and create meaningful things together. Edge Tomorrow is their opportunity ↓

The female body is one of the most under-measured areas in health. We're running our first dedicated Women's Health Summit at @EdgeEsmeralda this June 🧬 3 days, small room, founders + clinicians + researchers shaping the next decade. Full breakdown ↓
