In honor of #BHM I’d like to share the story of my favorite Black founder, Henry Robinson. He co-founded Genesys Software in 1985 with two fellow Black software engineers he met while at Westinghouse He’s the reason I love & respect entrepreneurs This is my father’s story 👨🏽‍💻✊🏽

We’ve received notice that the Department of Commerce has lifted export controls on Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5. We'll begin restoring access tomorrow, and will share an update soon. We’re grateful to our users for their patience, and to everyone who worked with us on redeploying the models.

AI isn’t just changing cyber threats, it’s accelerating them. As our CEO, Kevin Tian, puts it, the evolution of these attacks can be defined in three ways: velocity, volume, and variety. Attackers are coming faster, more often, and across more platforms than ever before. Organizations can no longer rely on siloed defenses focused on a single threat vector anymore. Security strategies need to evolve just as quickly as the attacks themselves, with platforms designed to address the full spectrum of these modern threats.

There's interesting healthcare AI companies like $HNGE that could be interesting -- less biotech / pharma. Hinge Health is AI Physical therapy and $740m ARR growing 47%. Backed by @TheValuesVC @BessemerVP , Coatue, Insight Partners. I think healthcare traditionally just written off but to your point AI is great for bio / pharma. Excited for this next leg of growth!

The future of legal work is agentic. AI agents will increasingly execute complex work alongside legal teams. And when that happens, the economics of legal work change. We go beyond seats licensed to outcomes delivered. That shift needs a commercial model built for it. So we're introducing consumption-based pricing to @WeAreLegora, alongside our latest product: Agent Pro. Agent Pro uses the most powerful models and a new harness to plan, execute, review, and deliver complex legal work end-to-end. It does real work. So the way we commercialize it should track the value it creates instead of a seat count. We're not first to see this. AI companies like Clay, Cursor, Lovable, and the model providers themselves have all moved this way. We expect many more to follow. This shift reflects our belief that the value of AI over time will get measured in work done, not logins purchased. And that the legal teams who win are the ones who put these new capabilities to use. Read more here: legora.com/blog/consumpti…

Sneak peek from localhost. A few favorite frames from June 18 in SF. Thank you to everyone who came out. More photos and the session recordings are on the way. Stay tuned!

Last week in London, I had an interesting conversation with @journosooz from the @FinancialTimes. A lot of it covered @WeAreLegora's growth, but she also raised a very valid question about the market itself: is legal AI a race to divide up the work that already exists? People keep framing this as build vs. buy, or as a fight over a fixed market. I don't see it that way. The legal market itself is going to grow, massively, because of AI. When filing a patent gets easier, more companies file. When good legal work gets faster, more of it gets done. We're not splitting a pie. The pie is getting bigger. To me, the question isn't who takes the largest slice of legal work as it exists today. It's how much more legal work becomes possible when the cost and friction fall away, and what you build for that world. I think it's the best time in history to be a lawyer. Never have this many talented people been building tools to make legal work more powerful and more fun. Full story: ft.com/content/51b43d…

Building at the edge of AI is @every's business model. Their AI-pilled team lives at the frontier, writes what they see, and experiments in gaps they uncover. When infrastructure got in the way of shipping, they switched to Render. Here's why: render.com/customers/every

We’re excited to share that we just signed an agreement for @salesforce to acquire @fin_ai for ~$3.6B. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of Salesforce’s fiscal year 2027. Fin started as Intercom 15 years ago. We changed our name to cap our transformation just weeks ago. We were a darling of the SaaS era and invented so many of the patterns you see in software today. Nearly four years ago, in need of a reboot, we jumped on weeks-old modern LLMs to create and define the category we know as Customer Agents today. Salesforce invented modern software and SaaS. And @benioff is like the final boss of tech founder CEOs. In seat for 27 years, he’s one of the last of his era. Still pushing, pivoting, placing big bets. It’s a privilege for @destraynor and I to get to partner with him and join forces with Salesforce upon close at this most fascinating time. And will be very fun to get their help bringing Fin to magnitudes more consumers. To our customers: Over the past few years we’ve been shipping intensely. Including recently our groundbreaking model, Apex, and our paradigm-defining internal agent, Operator. With the resources of Salesforce this will only accelerate. And yet little will practically change. I’ll still be CEO, Des will still be running R&D, we’ll both still be committed to continuing to lead this category. Thank you very sincerely and deeply for your belief in us. To all of our friends, our families, and our employees, past and present: While this is not the end, it is a major, pivotal, special, and emotional moment for us. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. For everything. To my cofounders, my exec team: Look what we built. Four young lads with a dream and nothing to lose. And a home grown exec team who pulled off the greatest and arguably only late stage software company pivot to AI, and invented one of the most important categories in AI. Thank you for sticking through all of this with me. And now, time to get back to work. See you at our next product launch in a couple weeks. (:

Loved hanging out with Marc and Benjie on @readkubelist. We also gave out a special coupon for localhost on June 18!

Forge ahead! cc: @bdeeter, @silicon_samuel youtu.be/2_36Kv_6bbo?si… via @YouTube

Today, we announced Doppel Email Security: the agentic email security solution that empowers you to fight back against social engineering attacks. Despite decades of innovation in email security, the outcome hasn’t changed. Attackers still succeed in seconds, and defenses still take too long to catch up. And while legacy email security has gotten better at scoring and quarantining threats, the malicious campaign behind the threats stays live. Doppel doesn't stop there. Our agentic detection is driven by natural language policies. Every message is tied back to the attacker infrastructure behind it, and machine-speed takedowns disrupt the sending infrastructure and links so the same campaign can't retarget your organization. Doppel Email Security is the newest layer of the unified platform, purpose-built to defend the entire social engineering attack chain. The threat doesn't stop at the email. Neither do we.

Happy 1-year IPO Anniversary to @danperez610 & the entire team @HingeHealth 🥳 $HNGE Its been AMAZING to watch the company set the pace of AI innovation this yr while serving our Members better than ever b4 Here’s to keeping our customers 1st and helping them put MSK pain last!

A must read for CISOs and Cyber leaders from the CEO & Team @DoppelHQ

AI makes building software feel instant. Legacy clouds still make shipping it feel like filing taxes with YAML. It took @render 5 years to reach 1M developers. The latest 1M joined in 80 days. Now 6M+ and accelerating. Shipping should always have been the easy part. It finally is.

Other stats for why Hinge Health: $3.9B enterprise value $729m ARR Growing 47% YoY (one of the fastest growing SaaS cos) 5.3x EV/ARR (cheap) Backed by great investors in $HNGE like @TheValuesVC at @BessemerVP , @insightpartners (used to work there but not involved with investment) Favorite part is its founder led by @danperez610 who is a force of nature and missionary

Today, @bakermckenzie announced they're deploying @WeAreLegora across their global network. Baker McKenzie started their AI strategy in 2017. They built an AI-first legal practice in 2021. They recruited Practice Innovation Lawyers into every global practice group. They run an in-person AI Accelerator program for high-performing associates. This isn't a firm that saw a headline about AI in 2024 and decided to act. What Baker McKenzie is building is different. Their Applied AI practice designs intelligent legal workflows across transactions, disputes, global compliance audits, data breach response, transfer pricing. Our legal engineers will work directly alongside that team, turning legal expertise into scalable, repeatable solutions. Being a high-performing lawyer in 2026 is no longer just about knowing the law. It's about using AI effectively to deliver it. Baker McKenzie understands this well. We're proud to be part of their next chapter. Full story: legora.com/newsroom/baker…

Today we're announcing the Legora aOS™. It's something we've been building toward for three years, and I think it's the most important thing we've ever shipped. The legal industry has had AI that assists with individual tasks. What it hasn't had is AI that drives entire work products from start to finish. The Legora aOS changes that. It's a single connected system – matter intake, research, drafting, review, service delivery – orchestrated by the new Legora Agent, running continuously, grounded in your organization’s own knowledge. The legal teams who use it won't just be faster. They'll operate at a scale that simply wasn't possible before. We've spent three years being told the legal industry moves too slowly to change. We've also spent three years watching it change faster than almost anyone predicted. The best time in history to be a lawyer starts today. @WeAreLegora is built to be the partner that makes it possible. Read the full announcement: legora.com/newsroom/legor…
