@UltraLinx Not really. They still use payment processors like Stripe underneath. They just orchestrate between multiple providers (Stripe, Adyen, etc).

We just released @getpolyscope 0.8 with a bunch of new features, improvements, and bug fixes. Most notably: - @getsentry integration! Connect with Sentry to quickly create workspaces from existing Sentry events - Resizable prompt input field - More keyboard shortcuts for you to customize - Creating workspaces from branches now shows you which ones are local and which are remote getpolyscope.com

Today we're announcing Polyscope - the free agent orchestration tool of my dreams. Run dozens of AI agents at the same time, blazing fast copy on write clones, a built-in preview browser you can use to visually prompt your agents, and much more. getpolyscope.com

And so it begins…

we're making @blocks smaller today. here's my note to the company. #### today we're making one of the hardest decisions in the history of our company: we're reducing our organization by nearly half, from over 10,000 people to just under 6,000. that means over 4,000 of you are being asked to leave or entering into consultation. i'll be straight about what's happening, why, and what it means for everyone. first off, if you're one of the people affected, you'll receive your salary for 20 weeks + 1 week per year of tenure, equity vested through the end of may, 6 months of health care, your corporate devices, and $5,000 to put toward whatever you need to help you in this transition (if you’re outside the U.S. you’ll receive similar support but exact details are going to vary based on local requirements). i want you to know that before anything else. everyone will be notified today, whether you're being asked to leave, entering consultation, or asked to stay. we're not making this decision because we're in trouble. our business is strong. gross profit continues to grow, we continue to serve more and more customers, and profitability is improving. but something has changed. we're already seeing that the intelligence tools we’re creating and using, paired with smaller and flatter teams, are enabling a new way of working which fundamentally changes what it means to build and run a company. and that's accelerating rapidly. i had two options: cut gradually over months or years as this shift plays out, or be honest about where we are and act on it now. i chose the latter. repeated rounds of cuts are destructive to morale, to focus, and to the trust that customers and shareholders place in our ability to lead. i'd rather take a hard, clear action now and build from a position we believe in than manage a slow reduction of people toward the same outcome. a smaller company also gives us the space to grow our business the right way, on our own terms, instead of constantly reacting to market pressures. a decision at this scale carries risk. but so does standing still. we've done a full review to determine the roles and people we require to reliably grow the business from here, and we've pressure-tested those decisions from multiple angles. i accept that we may have gotten some of them wrong, and we've built in flexibility to account for that, and do the right thing for our customers. we're not going to just disappear people from slack and email and pretend they were never here. communication channels will stay open through thursday evening (pacific) so everyone can say goodbye properly, and share whatever you wish. i'll also be hosting a live video session to thank everyone at 3:35pm pacific. i know doing it this way might feel awkward. i'd rather it feel awkward and human than efficient and cold. to those of you leaving…i’m grateful for you, and i’m sorry to put you through this. you built what this company is today. that's a fact that i'll honor forever. this decision is not a reflection of what you contributed. you will be a great contributor to any organization going forward. to those staying…i made this decision, and i'll own it. what i'm asking of you is to build with me. we're going to build this company with intelligence at the core of everything we do. how we work, how we create, how we serve our customers. our customers will feel this shift too, and we're going to help them navigate it: towards a future where they can build their own features directly, composed of our capabilities and served through our interfaces. that's what i'm focused on now. expect a note from me tomorrow. jack

I want something like this.
andrew chen@andrewchen

what's the current best approach on an AI that can help me handle my email inbox? seems like a big opportunity for folks playing with openclaw. For all of us who are drowning in email, this seems like a tier one problem that would be amazing to solve. (And I think I would pay $150k/year to have this product? I bet I'm not the only one) what I want is: - watch my inbox and process emails as they come in - score each message to see if it seems important (look at the sender, the topic/body, if its addressed to me or a big list, if I've ever replied to the sender before, etc etc) - read the email and reference a vast DB of knowledge that's been assembled already (based on my work, meeting notes, what I've replied on, etc), and decide what to do - reply with a draft note. For now, don't send, so that I can review the email -- but in the future maybe there's a YOLO option (but it would probably disclose that it's my assistant writing) - if less important, label it and file away. Eventually gather summaries for all of these less important emails and send me a summary of all of them with links to get back to it - or archive if it seems unimportant - or unsubscribe / mark spam / block if random marketing - if critical send me a notification right away so I can take a look I've played around with a bunch of the current AI tools and nothing quite works like this. There's a lot of blockers: - first, it needs 1000x more context about each problem, which it could get by crawling all my projects/notes/emails/slides/meetings/etc - This system should be designed to take action rather than simply just prioritizing messages. We've had prioritized inboxes for a long time but they're fine, not great - then someone has to put this entire UX together to be cohesive. In the future, we may not even really have an email inbox, but instead an interaction that feels more like I'm talking to an assistant who has a few questions for me. But otherwise just wants to provide a few quick updates and get some yes/nos. And otherwise filter all the noise -- just give me the most important messages It feels like we're very, very close to being able to do this, with the latest models from Anthropic and Open AI, we have the technology already. Someone just needs to package it all together in a way where it's able to index all of your emails and notes and calendars and contacts and sort of create a second brain that knows almost everything that you know so that I actually do things that are intelligent. It seems like with the excitement of OpenClaw we have the architecture to integrate a lot of different data sources and to take actions across multiple different channels. And it's built with one sort of monolithic memory and context, so that you're able to interact with it in such a way where it feels like it can try to replicate your actions more closely than the relatively stateless and memoryless LLM chats that we've gotten accustomed to. If someone is working on this, please point them to me. I would be both a customer and an investor!

We moved Refactoring UI over from Paddle to @stripe's new managed payments product last week and although it's a bit early to say for sure, I am pretty confident we are already making more money. Never would have believed it but the checkout does seem to convert significantly better, and I think it's entirely because of Link.

Had a lot of fun getting @openclaw (Clawdbot) to vibe code a simple idle/clicker game for me this evening. I hooked up Opus 4.5, had a conversation about features, got it to commit to GH and auto-deploy to Vercel. Didn't even look at the code 👌 cosmic-garage.vercel.app

18 months ago @lemonsqueezy joined Stripe to create the future of Merchant of Record. We moved fast and went heads down. That also meant, we got quiet because we were heads down building the next chapter. I shared a candid update today on what next. 👇

@gilbitron @opencode It actually does help against context rot, since each task is handled outside of the scope of the main context (and summarised, if needed). But yeah, I can imagine there is a world outside Claude Code still. Point taken. 😉

@CoenJacobs @opencode I’m not sure that tasks solves context rot, which is the main reason for using ralph. It certainly helps if you’re using Claude though.

@gilbitron @opencode As much as I like this, don’t you think ralph is now made obsolete by Claude Code tasks?
