@parkerconrad @bygregorr it's the only way to run a company right. big fan parker

@bygregorr I think it gives me a right to an opinion on the product. Even better than listening to users is "being the user yourself." I suspect I'm the only CEO of large-scale HCM co that actually runs payroll, themselves. I think this is secretly rippling's biggest advantage.

Rippling launched its AI analyst today. I'm not just the CEO - I'm also the Rippling admin for our co, and I run payroll for our ~ 5K global employees. Here are 5 specific ways Rippling AI has changed my job, and why I believe this is the future of G&A software. 🧵 1/n

@KobeissiLetter this is awesome hell yeah @JeffBezos

BREAKING: Jeff Bezos is in talks to raise $100 billion for a new fund that would buy manufacturing companies and use AI to automate them, per WSJ.

@bchesky S24 batch was $2M on $20M post

After YC, Airbnb raised $615k at a $3M post-money valuation. We were the highest valuation in our batch.

@leilavclark I love this! I have been asking Claude and ChatGPT for this when I fly but non ever can answer!!

Want to know if your flight has Starlink? We built a tool for that. Search any flight, and we’ll: - identify the aircraft - check whether that type has Starlink - look up the tail number to confirm that specific aircraft has it. You can also search by route (e.g. SFO → SLC) to see which flights are have Starlink.

@iammoizfarooq It’s more difficult of a problem than one would think!

@baileygspell Yeah that's a gap rn — if someone cancels and resubs, it counts as churn + new. need to filter those out by matching customer IDs. opening an issue for it

stripe has no MRR endpoint. baremetrics charges $129/mo to calculate it for you. I built a free open source CLI that does it in 3 seconds: npx stripe-pulse mrr → $392.00 MRR, churn, LTV, NRR, 20 commands. free forever. github.com/progrmoiz/stri…

@iammoizfarooq this is super cool :)

@garrytan yeah short the stock

Recent earnings call, Aneel Bhusri of Workday says startups with AI agents are "parasites" This is what system of record incumbents really think of startups. The war is just beginning. The facts: the user data belongs to the users, not the incumbent software vendor.

@skull8888888888 @lmnrai @browser_use @OpenHandsDev congrats guys!

Excited to share that @lmnrai has raised $3M to build open-source observability for long-running AI agents. Laminar is how companies like @browser_use, @OpenHandsDev, and Rye see what their agents are doing, understand why they fail, and spot patterns across millions of runs.

@alexdanilowicz don't even get me started on this

funny how many early-stage founders list "Stripe, OpenAI, LinkedIn, Perplexity, Meta" my brother in christ we know all they did was try it once. Proud to have case studies for most of our logo wall. Working on 100%.

i love just copying from on clanker to another

@noahkagan which one are you?

50% of the people here are LYING about how they use AI and the other 50% aren't talking about it.

i don't know how you build an erp integration without ai

"Where has LedgerUp been this whole time... This is so easy!" Love getting these messages from customers (:

@dgmason @ChrisJBakke man, every time i go to park city they have no snow

@baileygspell @ChrisJBakke It wasn't nearly this bad when I was there, but it was 10 days ago and it's low-60s this week so not sure 😂

Sure spending $2414/night at the Montage + $351 per lift ticket feels expensive, but it’s all worth it to ski this powder

@dgmason @ChrisJBakke That bad?? I’m there this weekend

@ChrisJBakke Was there last week... brutal.

@charlieholtz sooooo fast

Opus 4.6 fast mode is live in Conductor! And it's *so* fast:

I hate DocuSign. It literally takes way too long just to get an NDA sent. Every demo I run needs an NDA first. So I gave Ari the ability to send one from Slack. Best decision I ever made. One less thing.

@shiv_kampani @autumn_ai_inc LFG!!!

We closed Brex during the W26 batch! Brex's startup sales team uses Autumn to find venture-backed founders before they’ve been publicly announced. Last week, our agent surfaced 150+ unannounced founders by piecing together GitHub commits, Luma event pages, LinkedIn bio changes, and Delaware incorporation filings. Brex moves fast. First call to contract + implementation in days. Super grateful to Jimmy Stephens for giving us the opportunity to build with Brex. The best products get built with the best customers.
