Two years ago, we were calling ourselves an "AI co-founder". We just passed our SOC 2 Type II audit on request from our enterprise customers. Let me explain what happened.. It was 2023. We built an AI that would interrogate your startup idea, stress-test your assumptions, ask the uncomfortable questions your friends won't, run a perpetual mom-test that never got tired and never lied to be polite. It was the most first-wave llm idea imaginable. Just like AI therapists, AI girlfriends and later AI SDRs. You want the real deal. Founders kept asking the same follow-up: "Can this thing also help me find the right customers?" So we built that. An agent that analysed potential customers for best fit, who to pursue, who to ignore. So that all precious resources are allocated to prospects that actually want their solution. Then one of our users forwarded it to their VP of Sales. That VP forwarded it to procurement. Procurement and enterprise architects booked a security assessment meeting. That was the moment I realised: we're not a quirky AI tool anymore. Enterprise doesn't want a sidekick. They want infrastructure. And they want to know their data is safe. "Don’t worry about it" is not an acceptable answer in a vendor risk assessment. Hence we are now SOC 2 Type II. It's official. From a quirky tool to enterprise infrastructure in 2 years. I still can't fully believe it myself. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go lie down. Hoping nobody will invent SOC 2 Type III.

A few weeks ago, I started designing a physical device to block distractions. Today, the first prototype is here. Still a few changes to make before the object feels perfect.

Got him to 15$ but I wonder if he would have actually charged me 50$ anyways. Does it have autonomy for billing @interaction ?

@awilkinson @awilkinson we have built several AI fashion stylist mvp's and saw a bigger opportunity based on the feedback we got recently. Would be worth a chat, reached out via the tiny email.

Men: you dress like shit. Seriously, most of you look like dopes. I'm not any better. For years, I'd wear the same uniform: hoodie, Patagonia jacket, and some dorky but comfortable shoes. After getting divorced though, I knew I needed to get my shit together. I hired a "Personal Stylist" (actually not that expensive) and had her send me a whole bunch of outfits. And I started getting compliments daily! It felt amazing! Because after all: the outfit makes the man. We think we need to get ripped. But honestly, wearing a well-layered and color coordinated outfit and nice shoes is 90% of the battle. Women care way more about what you wear than whether or not you have a six pack. It was awesome, but kind of annoying having to depend on this woman to not look like a schmoe. But then something crazy happened: I started just asking ChatGPT instead. Every day, I'd upload a photo of whatever pants I was wearing and say "complete this outfit". I was amazed by how good it was. And it got better over time, as I trained a custom GPT on my wardrobe. Suddenly I didn't need my personal stylist—I had an AI one. But my ChatGPT based system was kind of fiddly. It required prompting and uploading lots of photos and messing with instructions to produce something good. So, I saw an opportunity. I called up my friend @humza_j and told him I wanted to turn this into a thin wrapper app. That was about 4 months ago, and now we have a beta that uses @OpenAI and a few other APIs to achieve the same thing in a beautiful app. TLDR: it's called Vibe and here's how it works: 1. Take photos of all your key wardrobe items (t-shirts, pants, overskirts, jackets, watches, etc). 2. Tell it what kind of outfits you need (date, work, etc) as well as the season (summer, winter, etc). 3. It generates beautifully layered and coloured coordinated outfits utilizing your wardrobe items and then renders an image of what that outfit looks like. It's really cool. We have a beta live on the iOS App Store called (Vibe - AI Stylist) . It's still kind of rough, but you can see where it's going and play with it. But I have a problem: I don't know what to do with it. I don't know the first thing about scaling an app like this. I need someone to take it over, go raise some money for it, and turn it into something. I actually think it's a great idea and a really well built app, but now I need someone young and hungry to turn it into a real business. I'm down to give someone 50%+ of the equity. Who should run it?
