RT @PineLabs: The gap between cart and confirmation costs Indian brands billions every year. That changes now. @shopflo_ joins Pine Labs…

Pine Labs has acquired Shopflo, an early stage startup which empowers D2C brands to operate online businesses. The amount is Rs 88crore. And its a 100% acquisition. This is the first major deal for Pine Labs after getting listed.

Makes sense now

Hiring Frontend & Backend Engineers @ Flo Labs (Shopflo). Skipping long applications. One question: What’s one engineering decision you’re proud of and one you regret? No right answers. No buzzwords. 3-5 lines is enough. If your reply makes me think, I’ll personally take the first interview. JD links in replies 👇 Reply here or DM.

I just wanted to check if my photo met visa norms. Gemini decided this was a great opportunity to hand me a full-blown DIY app. All I asked was: “Is this photo okay?” 😅

@VigneshAnand_Vm @grok who is the actor?

Never seen such a leader who allows his car to run over cadres. A clear symbol of detachment from the common man.

In your 20s you’ll feel the urge to start a D2C brand. It’s important you listen to that urge and see where it takes you.

Just SF things

Super impressed—and just a tad spooked. For what all use cases are you using Comet for? #Perplexity #cometbrowser

I asked Comet to wrangle our Snowflake RBAC permissions (which I usually dread), and it not only understood my requirements, but identified roles, mapped permissions, and executed the SQL with barely any input Felt like having a tireless AI co-pilot for even the most boring tasks

Just spent a couple weeks using the @PerplexityComet browser. I’ve already booked flights, planned & shopped for an upcoming trip in record time. But here’s the kicker...

Been working with AI agents and memory for a while now. And I’ve come to a realization: Today’s LLMs are like Leonard Shelby from Memento — powerful, driven, but deeply amnesiac. Memory works for now, but true AGI needs more than hacks. #LLMs #Memories #AIAgent

AI will actually replace: 1. Entry-level grunt work 2. Internal tooling 3. Basic infrastructure automation 4. Repetitive QA tasks But what AI can't touch: – customer-centric UI/UX design – strategic product thinking – nuances that make products delightful

We also realized marketers struggle with data interfaces that engineers find intuitive. SQL might be second nature to our dev team, but marketers can leverage data more effectively with visual tools and AI to 10x their output. This insight is now driving our product roadmap!

This dual approach tests both complex schema handling and hyperscaling. We discovered a critical scaling issue that would have been DISASTROUS if caught by a client instead. When you're processing 50 million profiles, things break in ways you didn't anticipate during dev.

We've been quietly dogfooding @SortmentHQ with @shopflo_ for the past 4-5 months. And shopflo turned out to be the perfect testing ground (in 2 distinct ways): 1. For our B2B comms (reaching out to merchants) 2. For our merchants' B2C comms (reaching their customers)

@divz_i_am @shopflo_ Thanks for sharing @divz_i_am

Retweeting for karma. Also because I really like the folks @shopflo_
