As @INBOUND kicks off, I got to speak with @HubSpot CMO @kippbodnar about marketing in the era of AI, both from a tooling and an impact perspective. Great, ranging conversation with a ton of awesome insight from Kipp. Check it out via link in comment –>

Today we’re launching the newest version of @paradigmai When we started Paradigm, the goal was never to tack AI onto existing spreadsheets. It was to build a new type of interface that does the work for you. Now we’re pushing that vision much further. Workflows turn Paradigm into a system that runs research processes for you. Connect your CRM, existing spreadsheets, Slack, email, and internal data, and let Paradigm continuously run the research workflows your team already does. Same intuitive interface. But now a system of action. If you tried Paradigm before, try it again. Manual research is now a competitive liability.

Composer 2 is out! Cursor is an example of a new type of company, not a pure app maker and not a model provider. Our aim is to build the most useful coding agents by combining the best API models and our domain-specific models.

Composer 2 is now available in Cursor.

Danger does not come merely from agency, but from agency with no ability to anticipate consequences and with no safety guardrails. The solution? AI agents that can predict the consequences of their actions (world models) and only take actions whose predicted outcomes satisfy safety guardrails. I've been saying this for over 5 years. I've been designing objective-driven AI systems based on world models for that reason.

Granola, this is the way -- accessible and useful wherever you need it. MCP, auth, API and CLI
Chris Pedregal@cjpedregal

There are some tweets out there saying that Granola is trying to lock down access to your data. Tldr; we are actually trying to become more open, not closed. We’re launching a public API next week to complement our MCP. Read on for context. A couple months ago, we noticed that some folks had reversed engineered our local cache so they could access their meeting data. Our cache was not built for this (it can change at any point), so we launched our MCP to serve this need. The MCP gives full access to your notes and transcripts (all time for paid users, time restricted for free users). MCP usage has exploded since launch, so we felt good about it. A week ago, we updated how we store data in our cache and broke the workarounds. This is on us. Stupidly, we thought we had solved these use cases well enough with our MCP. We’ve now learned that while MCPs are great for connecting to tools like Claude or chatGPT, they don’t meet your needs for agents running locally or for data export / pipeline work. So we’re going to fix this for you ASAP. First, we’ll launch a public API next week to make it easier for you to pull your data. Second, we’ll figure out how to make Granola work better for agents running locally. Whether that’s expanding our MCP, launching a CLI, a local API, etc. The industry is moving quickly here, so we’d appreciate your suggestions. We want Granola data to be accessible and useful wherever you need it. Stay tuned.

I would say I think Every is trying to do that to some extent, as are a lot of the professional service firms to varying degrees, but also one major issue with anyone 'owning' this is the pace at which things are changing. It's very hard to credibly offer a reselling program when the skill and capability set is changing to fast. Intro to AI programs on Coursera etc feel hilariously outdated even when they're only like 8 months old

After having weeks of doomsday conversations with some of my smartest friends about AI displacement... I have to wonder: Why is there no standout edtech company synonymous with AI re-skilling? I'm sure folks are trying, but why hasn't there been a break out yet?

@wabi Another company doing this well: @p0. On its landing page, a simple GIF shows the product flow with a relatable example of how someone might actually use it. That kind of visual context helps the product click immediately.

I spent about 3 hours inside Claude Cowork writing this story. It built the first draft based on access to my Granola transcripts, email + G Docs, and a custom skill for writing like me. I dictated everything in my prompting via Wispr like I was an editor again working with a reporter on a story. Except this time I was also the author and the reporting was mine. As someone who always hated (and took forever) with the 0-1 process of writing a story, this workflow has been a huge unlock for me. Makes creating a story feel fun again.

Earlier this week, I spent an afternoon inside Anthropic HQ meeting with various leaders. It was fascinating and I learned a lot. sources.news/p/my-day-insid…

If you’re running a business in Europe or the UK, we bring good news from across the Atlantic. @tryramp launches locally this summer. We’re setting up shop and the waitlist is open. The median Ramp customer saves 5% and grows revenue 16% in their first year. Europe’s most ambitious companies deserve the same.

New: OpenAI saw the AI coding revolution coming years ago, but was beat to market by Anthropic. This is how OpenAI got in this position, and how a small Codex team spent the last year racing to build a billion-dollar competitor to Claude Code. (yes Codex now has >$1B in ARR)

I wrote about Sandbar, the NYC startup looking to ship an AI note-taking ring, Stream, this summer. Part of what I found interesting about it is the wider race to try different form functions: earbuds, necklace, pin, wristband, now ring. But part is also that Stream is meant to be fully single-player and non-invasive. You raise your finger to talk to the ring in a conspicuous, les s surveillance-y way; Stream only listens to your voice, when you're actively tapping it, instead of being always-on. Does that mean you won't get weird looks on the subway? I'm not sure -- and candidly not sure I'd use it every day. But the care that founder @minafahmi has put into the product's form and function makes me think they have a shot.

Some news: I’m going to be writing a new insurance column for the @globeandmail. I’m glad the Globe said yes to this, because there are some major structural changes going on in the industry and consumers need more help than ever understanding the product.
