TIL: you don’t need to have the dot anymore 😅

@FarzaTV Love it. I’d love to integrate this into @aqdotdev somehow. Hmm 🤔 😊

Today we're shipping screen-aware dictation. First, we built a speedy speech-to-text (very fast, ~450ms). But, many products do this! So we went further. Now dictate using your screen as context. In Claude Code, it writes the prompt. In G-Mail, it replies in your voice. Demo:

Character is revealed by how you treat your coding agents when they don’t do what you asked them to do.

@arvidkahl Very good point. We’re all remote at @aqdotdev and honestly can’t think what it would be like the other way around 😅

I want to see a study in agentic coding efficiency between in-office and remote workers. I do all my prompting via voice… and I become talk-shy when I know someone nearby is listening, even my wife. Must be hell in an open office, headphones or not. And tank productivity.

This. Is. Awesome.

I can't wait to start talking about this!!

There're many people on 𝕏 that I followed for year and thought they never post anything. Apparently, they do!

@DeryaTR_ @Kimi_Moonshot It looks like it's rolling out.

Is Kimi K3 launching @Kimi_Moonshot ?! If so I'll be pretty excited for open source AI😊

@Carles_Reina @ElevenLabs This is so good and very applicable to what I’m working on right now.

If I had to restart @ElevenLabs GTM from scratch, these are the things that I would change 🖊️ - Hire quicker. I was alone selling for the first 9 months because I believed we didn't have PMF. Main reasons: the AI tourist external mantra of 2023, and the uphill battle convincing everyone to hire more GTM (Sales development, Sales, Customer Success) because we were still mostly PLG / self-service. The hiring constraint lasted until earlier this year when we boosted our team to meet demand. - Build an enablement team earlier. Sales enablement has such an important role in an org, and we mostly think about it when we hire a lot of people. The reality is that we need Enablement earlier due to the speed of product iteration. - Open more markets. The results from Uber v Lyft operating models played a key role in deciding to open markets early, but I would triple down on it if we were to start over. - Have more big bets. Similar to VCs, you only need 1 big bet to work in order to generate Alpha. We could have executed more big bets if we had had a single person owning & iterating on them. Former successful founder profile with drive and speed. - Be more vocal about product ROI & our success. People buy from people, and companies buy based on success & ROI. In AI, we've all been slow showing ROI. This should be the key number when you start a conversation. - Hire senior sellers. In startups, we've been told that culture is everything and someone with +25y experience may struggle to fit in. This is bullshit. The experience, connections and drive +25y sellers bring is crazy. We have a bunch today, but I would hire many more earlier. - Reduce cash commissions and replace them with more equity. Cash is king, but Equity is queen. Queens also rule countries, so why not make Equity the dominant one in GTM? - Open more offices. We are a remote-first company, but our customers are everywhere, and employees want to meet each other. I would open more offices to be embedded in markets quicker. - Fun brand. Brand perception is 33% of the work. Building a fun brand adds quickly. - Outbounds outbounds outbounds. We waited too long to migrate to an Outbound organisation. I would do it from day 1 now. - Pipeline construction with more whales. The ideal pipeline needs to have a combo of segments to reduce risk, improve results and provide liquidity. We waited too long to pitch & bring whales. - Not all deals are good deals. We, sellers, want to close a lot of ARR, but it is important to split early on between good vs bad deals. Thank you to Tomasz Gmur for asking how I would do GTM again!

@sama so true. wild times

this would have been a whole startup not too long ago

Fable is still better btw. It’s just much slower, more expensive, and randomly switches to Opus without your approval 😅

@nikitabier how do you measure the unregretted time spent?

@saammotamedi @reidhoffman Huge congrats!

Today, we are announcing Greylock 18, a new $1.5 billion early-stage venture fund. A company begins when a founder sees a future others cannot yet see. There is no team, product, or revenue. Only a deep insight and the courage to start. Being early is lonely work. For years, being right can look exactly like being wrong. Greylock has spent more than six decades partnering with founders through those earliest moments to build enduring companies. Airbnb, Facebook, and Palo Alto Networks all began as improbable ideas driven by founders determined to make them inevitable. AI has made the map blank again. Every part of the economy is now open to reinvention. We believe many of the defining AI companies do not yet exist. We invest selectively and partner deeply with the founders we back. Each Greylock partner makes only one or two new investments a year because the work demands depth. We bring the full attention, network, and resources of Greylock to every partnership. We are builders backing outliers. Founders have their choice of investor. When a founder chooses to partner with Greylock, we understand the weight of that choice and the profound responsibility that comes with it. We seek to be a founder’s first believer and long-term partner. Greylock 18 is our commitment to what does not exist yet.

@LuminaXspace Nice. It’ll be supported in @aqdotdev the moment it’s released.

🚨 Kimi K3 set to launch within hours Moonshot AI may have accidentally revealed the date through its own Kimi API platform: • An official page appeared titled “Kimi K3 launch limited-time recharge campaign” • The campaign begins on July 15 at 00:00 China time • The original page now redirects instead of displaying the announcement • K3 will use a completely new architecture focused on long-horizon agent tasks • Separate rumours suggest 2.5T parameters and a 1M-token context window • No official benchmarks or model card have appeared yet Do you think this model could become the strongest model from a Chinese AI lab?

@thdxr Yes. I hate it.

app store review process sucks

@pankajkumar_dev Nice. It’ll be supported in @aqdotdev the moment it’s released.

Kimi K3 Leaks: Coming Tomorrow - Kimi K3 is to be launch tomorrow, according to leaked Kimi API platform page - It will launch alongside a limited-time API top-up promotion, offering 10-30% bonus credits depending on the recharge amount. - Kimi K3 is built on a new architectural innovation, rather than being just a larger version of previous Kimi models.

@fortworthchris w00t w00t 🙌

What's up fam? Great to see everyone. 🇺🇸

@austin_rief It kinda feels that way to me lol

Would be funny if the algo actually wasn't changed and it's just placebo.

@philippberner @aqdotdev I don’t really care about competitors seeing the improvements. Software is a commodity now and if they’re just a tiny bit smart, they can see my whole onboarding without that much effort.

@dsog @aqdotdev If there is a site, you'd be able to share your improvements? if it has an option to not share with list of competitors

Does anyone know of a good website where app companies share their onboarding flow improvements in private? eg Need to share info to get info?
