@davidasinclair Isn’t this study looking at an old vaccine that is not used anymore?

Will be getting a shingles shot ASAP

@HammingAI  (@ycombinator S24) is the first complete QA platform for voice agents from pre-deployment testing to production monitoring. Voice agents break in production in ways you can't predict. Hamming connects to your agent (@livekit, @pipecat_ai, @Vapi_AI, @retellai, @elevenlabs, @usebland, or any custom stack), auto-generates test cases from your prompt, and runs 1,000+ parallel calls over phone, SIP, or WebRTC. Failures are flagged with exact root causes. Regressions are caught before deployment. 10K+ agents + 5M+ calls monitored. 95% agreement with human evaluators. First test report in under 10 minutes.

We invented the world's first voice agent testing platform when nobody thought it needed to exist. Now it's on a billboard in Times Square. Thank you, @brexHQ.

our team just launched a `buy-anything` skill for @openclaw (rip clawdbot). it's only for amazon right now (we'll add in all of shopify and other retailers soon). my favorite use-case is it knows when I have a long day and auto-orders me a treat <3 @steipete

A vote for Mamdani was really a vote to destroy public schools *long sigh*

Today, we’re pulling the curtain back to unveil SuperMe 1.0: the AI-native professional network, launch Perspective Search, and announce that we’ve raised a $6.8M seed round. How @SuperMeAI works: - Ask a question. - SuperMe finds the right professionals. - Their AI profiles answer instantly, grounded in their real work. It’s how advice really works in business. We’ve just built it into the network. Search is changing. But it has gaps. AI assistants answer without revealing the humans behind the knowledge. Perspectives are lost as blue links turn into one-size-fits-all answers. Perspective Search is our answer to that. We show multiple answers to your questions, from people who have solved your problem before. You can also go deeper by engaging with individual profiles. We’re also excited to share that we’ve raised a $6.8M seed round led by @mduboe at @GreylockVC , joined by some of the most thoughtful builders and operators in tech (see list below). Read the full story in Alex Konrad’s Upstarts and our full launch post in the comment below.

Today’s my last day as Copilot’s cofounder. That’s because we are FINALLY rebranding. Copilot is becoming Assembly (@assemblycom). And we’re shipping our biggest release ever — headlined by an AI Assistant that’s tailor-made for professional service firms. (1) Why we’re no longer Copilot When @NeilRaina and I started Copilot in 2020, we set out to become the go-to assistant for professional service businesses. It worked — until the name didn’t. With Microsoft Copilot, GitHub Copilot, and “copilot” turning into a generic AI term, we became impossible to search, awkward to recommend, and we became the accidental help desk for Microsoft Copilot. (2) Meet the new Assembly Assembly is the AI-powered platform for professional service firms. For your clients, it’s a clean, branded portal where everything lives in one place — tasks, payments, messages, files, contracts, and forms — so the experience feels polished instead of pieced together. For teams, it’s a simple CRM plus an AI Assistant that knows each client’s full context (message history, internal notes, etc.) and helps you get more done, faster. (3) Why now Clients don’t see your stack—they see chaos: email threads, e-sign links, shared drives, plus two more tools with separate logins. Does that feel like the future? Meanwhile, direct-to-consumer AI is raising the bar on speed and polish, so your firm is being compared to the best apps your clients use every day. To stay ahead, we believe firms of the future need to retool themselves and deliver client experiences that look and feel like modern consumer software products. (4) The AI Assistant we’re launching Assembly Assistant lives where your team works and actually knows the client you’re looking at — previous messages, internal notes, custom fields, contracts, forms, invoices, etc. — so instead of copy-pasting across tabs, you just ask and it answers in context. It’s collaborative (an internal side-chat next to every client), privacy-first (every prompt is hard-scoped to the selected client/company—no cross-account bleed), and built for real work. You can just ask it to reply to a client negotiate pricing or ask it to create a task with the topics just discussed. Thank you to our incredible team — long-timers and all the new Assemblers who joined these last few months. Thank you to our users, customers, and partners for the feedback, patience, and feedback that shaped this release. And Thank you to our investors for backing the vision and pushing us to aim higher. 🙏🙏🙏

Proud of the Keep team, bringing top notch financial services to businesses in Canada!

@TheTakach Congrats! Incredible to see so much progress in such a short time!

1/ Today is a huge day. We raised $108M CAD in equity and debt to rebuild Canadian business banking from the ground up. Here’s why this matters 🧵👇

Beyond Cracking the Coding Interview is finally out! It's the official sequel to CtCI, and we wrote specifically for today's difficult job market. It’s a brand new book, NOT a new edition. Here's what's cool & new about it 🧵 amazon.com/dp/195570600X

On today’s episode of the Operators Podcast, I was thrilled to announce @PassportGlobal1 most significant milestone yet: our acquisition of Brand Access! By bringing Brand Access onboard, we’re supercharging our internationalization solution with in-country fulfillment enablement and local-marketplace management capabilities - a game-changer for large DTC brands. Why did we make this move? Because we heard what our customers need: 💸 Huge Cost Savings for Brands: Local fulfillment cuts shipping costs, returns costs, and duties are assessed on the cost of goods imported, not on the retail value ⚡ Faster Shipping: Customers want to get their stuff faster! In-country fulfillment enables this 🔑 Flexibility: With in-country logistics and marketplace management, we can now offer brands multiple ways to grow—whether that’s cross-border shipping, setting up a local presence in key regions like Canada, UK and EU, or expanding on local marketplaces like Amazon.ca 🌟 New Verticals: For brands in categories where cross-border shipping isn’t ideal (think large/ fragile items or ‘dangerous goods’), these local solutions provide a clear path to international growth This solution is ready today, thanks to our 3PL launch partners who are already enabled with a global network of warehouses: Bergen, Capacity, DCL, Outerspace, ShipBob, Shipfusion, and ShipMonk. Thank you to Craig Walsey, CEO of Brand Access, and the rest of the wonderful Brand Access team for building such an amazing company and for your trust in forging this partnership. And a big thank you to @seanfrank , @JasonPanzer , @mbertulli , and @mikebeckhamsm for having me and Craig on the Operators podcast to share the big news! Let’s build a future where international growth is easy.🚀🌍

Big announcement! Along with @gayle , @mike_mroczka, and Nil Mamano, I’ve written the official sequel to Cracking the Coding Interview—the bible of interview prep. The sequel is fittingly called Beyond Cracking the Coding Interview. Pre-order now: amazon.com/dp/195570600X (1/)

After a few discussions, they agrees to pay me back 75 GBP. This is getting even more ridiculous. No wonder they were named one of the worse airline - news.sky.com/story/worst-ai…

Unbelievable. Just got downgraded from business class on #britishairways from London to NY and our nanny got downgraded from premium economy to economy. Will never fly British Airways again!

@ahoova They oversold every class on this flight :(

@makavy Ugh. Any reason why?

1/5 Building applications that rely on real-time, on-chain data is complex and resource-intensive. And as chains and clients focus on “writes” (throughput, scalability), rich and efficient “reads” will become even harder. Today we launch sim.io to change that. blog.smlxl.io/sim-a-canvas-f…

"Spatial computers are going to change everything from the ground up. Suddenly my calendar is always there, ready for me to jump in.. no matter what I’m working on." Read more from our CEO @tamirSightful on today's launch of #Spacetop here: sightful.com/post/has-spati…
