Modern travel should be as simple as moving from idea to inspiration to booking in one chat flow. I dream of autonomous bookings based on stored preferences...but travel is dynamic, complex and regulated. Your agents need the best tools. Meet @jinko_travel 😍
Jinko@jinko_travel

Every agent demo is about travel booking. But not a single one is working. Give your agent travel search and booking capabilities with something built for them. It's called Jinko, the travel MCP and CLI built for agents. Flight booking is live now. Next is hotel.

Londoners; are you building + thinking about post-AGI/ASI societies? Me + @DadaJudith are running a lunch, mid May, to go deep on this excellent topic. Founders, operators, researchers, artists - great group so far. Few more places. Who should join us?

Modern Relay
Modern Relay@modernrelay·
Today we're coming out of stealth at Modern Relay with $3M from @PointNineCap , @emergelab, @AminoCollective and @_CommonMagic alongside exceptional angels including Charlie Songhurst, Michael Boehler and Thomas Clozel. We are building the context graph for AI-native orgs: the source of truth for company data, policies, decisions and the logic between them. Humans and agents share the same state in which they coordinate work, with changes branched, reviewed, and merged before they land. So knowledge actually compounds. Omnigraph is the open source engine underneath: an agent-native graph database with git-style workflows, vector/fts search, and typed queries. We believe intelligence is a solved problem. The next decade belongs to the companies that make their world models agent-accessible. And we're here to enable them.

We think "world models" is such a new concept Anyone who has worked at global scale inside a complex org knows it is, in itself, a world model; a dynamic set of norms, codified / not Agent workers make that more complex Enter @Modernrelay. Proud investor! Go @ragnorco ❣️

Super proud of team @dreamer joining Meta Superintelligence Labs today "Our bet from the beginning has been that software should be personal, malleable, and shaped by the person using it" - yes! @_CommonMagic can't wait to see how that vision works at the scale of billions.
David Singleton@dps

Excited to announce that @hbarra , @alcor and I are joining Meta Superintelligence Labs with the entire @Dreamer team today. The last few months have been extraordinary: we built Dreamer, put the beta in the world just a month ago, and saw magic come to life for real people. Since then, thousands of people have used Dreamer to build personal, intelligent software with our Sidekick in the world’s newest and most popular programming language: English! They're building and sharing agents to manage email, calendar, and to-do’s, create learning tools for their kids, learn new languages, plan trips with friends, become better cooks, help them with work, achieve their health goals, or simply to creatively express themselves—all sorts of surprising and uniquely personal needs. These are agents as unique as the people building them, because they're built exactly the way each person wants them to be. We’ve captured some of our favorites at dreamer.com/community-lett…. What matters most here isn’t the early momentum; it’s what Dreamer has enabled people to do. People are building things they’ve wanted for years. They’re solving real, important problems no traditional software company would ever prioritize, because they’re too niche, too bespoke, too personal. What company would ever build for an “n of 1”? Our bet from the beginning has been that software should be personal, malleable, and shaped by the person using it. The constraint was never people’s imagination. It was the fact that building software is out of reach for most people. This early chapter gives us conviction that the idea resonates, the need is real, and the moment is now. @alexandr_wang was helpful to us from the very beginning, and when we showed Dreamer to Mark Zuckerberg and @natfriedman earlier this year, it was clear right away that we share the same vision of the future: one where billions of people have the power to create software that makes their lives better. We’re thrilled to accelerate this mission by joining Meta Superintelligence Labs and licensing our technology to Meta. Read more at meta.com/superintellige…. Deeply grateful to our investors @jillchase124 and @ninaachadjian for supporting our vision for a more personal, creative, and intelligent future for software. Thank you for the trust, the thought partnership, and for being in our corner at every step. To everyone in our community who built with us: thank you. You've taught us what's possible, and you're the proof this works. We're so grateful, and we're just getting started!

-> 🏪 Bounti raises €4M to bring AI into the “physical economy.” While AI struggles to scale in white-collar workflows, the real opportunity lies in frontline industries, retail, hospitality, and services, where execution drives revenue. Bounti’s bet: AI should act, not just analyze. ⚙️ -> 💡 What Bounti is building: • AI that identifies issues → triggers real actions • Links operational gaps directly to revenue impact • Designed for frontline teams (not dashboards) Bigger shift: AI is moving from insights → execution. The winners won’t just surface problems, they’ll fix them in real time. 🤖📊 Read More At: menlotimes.com/post/bounti-ad… Source: Press Release

Hey! @theshre + are running this again early March In London & sorting through ideas or at the very start of something new? Come join us for breakfast with a great group of peers - DM and we'll add you to list
Sarah Drinkwater 🔮@sarahdrinkwater

The most important decision isn't the decision to build; it's WHAT to build (+ WHO to build it with). -1 to 0 matters but London lacks spaces for proto-founders to come together. First get together was brilliant; people working on adaptive UIs, consumer hardware, etc. DM to join

I started in '23 with a hunch that community isn’t a trend or a vertical but a secret hiding in plain sight for how generational companies get built. Apple, Github, Stripe, Roblox, Palo Alto Networks.. The fund exists to find, fund + support next wave open.substack.com/pub/sarahdrink…

The best founders pick who they want @_CommonMagic works to be chosen. Principles of building; 1: focus on the founder + all else follows 2: trust wins you the right to be honest 3: small, fast, focused can beat big, slow + general 4: the secret ingredient is fun

Piloted a breakfast for people figuring out what to build next with the incredible @sarahdrinkwater at the @meetgranola office. Early feedback's been good, so likely doing this again. If you're exploring what to build next and want in, lmk! 👋
