It took 100 years to get to 5 billion bank accounts globally. Agents will need that many in the next decade. Every company will run hundreds of agents, each with their own treasury. We built the rails: meow.com/mcp.

We walked through @meow's agentic flow for setting up a business bank account, and it felt magical One prompt and the agent seamlessly set up a real bank account and connected to all of the tools and systems it needs to make, manage, and move money archetype.fund/media/meow-let…

In 3-4 years, you won't log in to your bank. I went @OnTheBrinkCIV with @MattWalshInBos to predict the future of: — Banks — Fintech — AI agents (And the radical bet we're making at @Meow). Listen below: castleisland.vc/brandon-arvana…

Private dinner for for founders building at the intersection of money, prediction markets, gaming, and consumer crypto. Cohosted between @Meow and @Fun This Thursday, in Soho. DM me for a seat

@brandon @meow @BVNKFinance Let's go! @Meow's power levels are rising...

Today, we announce @Meow x @BVNKFinance. Meow is the first fintech in history to launch banking for AI agents. Our partnership with BVNK will help power the crypto rails to give agents every payment rail possible. Banking and crypto for AI agents. All in one.

@brandon We’re committed to building banking for agents because of how inevitable this feels for us based on our daily workflows Finding myself going through Claude more and more to accomplish tasks and UI less and less

Nobody is going to log into a bank dashboard in three to four years. I know that sounds bold. But think about the last two times banking changed its primary interface. Thirty years ago, online banking was absurd. You went to a branch. Twenty years ago, mobile banking felt the same way. Then the friction comparison became impossible to ignore and both norms dissolved. AI is the same transition, but the mechanism is different. Every prior upgrade was a self-service improvement. You got a better tool to operate yourself. An AI agent removes the operating entirely. You describe what you want and delegate the rest. We built the infrastructure at Meow to make that real. We're the first fintech in history to support an AI agent actually completing a business bank account opening. I wrote about why I think this transition is inevitable, who adopts it first, and what the security picture actually looks like. meow.com/blog/why-ai-ag…

@ycombinator @DatostApp @MaceoCk Congrats team!

Datost (@datostapp) is an AI data analyst in Slack. It keeps a semantic layer of your business definitions, crm, docs, and codebase so it knows what questions mean. 75.2% on the hardest public text-to-SQL benchmark, where Opus 4.6 scores 33%. Congrats on the launch, @maceock & @jasonhywang! ycombinator.com/launches/Pxg-d…

Every AI agent that runs a business needs a bank account and a card. The cards exist. The bank account was the missing layer. $100B+ opportunity we're pursuing at @Meow.

we are two weeks out from The Founder Classic, the inaugural founder poker tournament hosted by @meow, Launchpoint, Venture Commercial, and Full House Vision bringing together the best of the NYC startup ecosystem We've got a few spots left to play - link to RSVP below

@schkolnick__ @meow Come take @schkolnick__ ‘s money

Who is the best founder poker player in NYC? On Tuesday, April 28th, we will find out. @meow is hosting The Founder Classic, a 30 player poker tournament. One night, one final champion. If you get accepted to play, you will be in for a treat, I guarantee it.

There are ~350M businesses in the world. Each one will run dozens of agents. Every agent that touches money needs a bank account. Billions of new accounts. The fintechs that figure out agent-native banking first wins the next 50 years of banking. @Meow is the first. meow.com/mcp

@brandon @meow No sleep for you or the agents using Meow 🤣

On Thursday, @Meow launched bank accounts for AI agents. Over the weekend, we've seen agents signing up in droves. 20 years ago it jarring to open a bank account from your phone. We're in the same moment for LLMs today. Now, we’re extending that lead: — Every flow in @Meow is becoming agent-first — We're serving a wider breadth of companies than ever before — We're launching new financial primitives by the week, with another coming tomorrow Tell your agent to apply to Meow at meow.com/mcp today. Be one of the earliest customers in history for this. meow.com/blog/ai-agents…

@holdforscott Empirically this is why model performance is worse during peak hours and better on the weekends. I’m doing most of my meaningful coding on nights and weekends. Business hours are cooked

The problem is Anthropic 3x’d usage in a 3 month period. Highly doubt their data center capacity is that elastic. They couldn’t keep model quality high if even if they wanted to. Long term intelligence is a commodity bottlenecked by capacity and inference cost. Demand currently exceeds supply at $200/month Mythos is going to bring us closer in line to pricing that balances supply of intelligence with demand. Wouldn’t be surprised to see $1000/month for opus 4.5 quality and have that quickly hit capacity as well. Harnesses matter and should be built to be interchangeable with intelligence layers.

I completely agree with her assessment that “Claude has regressed to the point it cannot be trusted to perform complex engineering”. There are two problems with building businesses on top of frontier models. The first is the cost and value capture. The frontier labs are aiming to capture the value that they create and become the new Google, Facebook where, in the past, you would raise venture money to scale your SaaS and you would spend marginally all of it on CPC ads for customers acquisition. Then all that value accrues to Google/Facebook stock. The goal with the frontier labs is capture all that value instead. There is no incentive to bring costs down or democratize access, that’s going to have to come from innovation outside those labs. The second is the “they’re not going to let us have this” problem. (phrase coined by @androolloyd in our discussions/strategizing about this around the turn of the new year) Opus 4.5 was good enough that you could actually make serious progress with it. Now that they’ve gotten everyone hooked on crack, they’ve diluted the package. It’s been brutal for over a month. The amount of money we’ve spent on the API for this degraded product makes me sick. They have completely nerfed it and there’s a good chance Mythos is just them re-releasing an unquantized version of the same/similar thing that we already had, just in a way that’s more economically sustainable for them. And which is rumoured to be gatekept by organization. If you’re operating in this field you have to take these dynamics into account and act accordingly.

@0xLight @brandon @meow Try going to Setttings => Capabilities => Allow network egress and turn on. Early days for this, will get better over time

@brandon @meow

AI agents can now open business bank accounts. @Meow lets your AI agent open bank accounts, issue cards, check balances, send money, and audit spend. Works with Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, Gemini, and more. The first financial infrastructure built for agents.

True Story: When I invested in the seed round, it was because I thought Brandon would rather die than let a customer down. I figured he was so customer-obsessed that he’d find a way to win. I was right. Profitable. Growing. Innovating. My lesson: Invest in people, not ideas.
