back to what I truly love: building 🏗️ Thrilled to team up with @joinhexa to launch #WalkTheFrontier, a studio building global AI ventures. 1st AI as a buyer — businesses mastered selling to humans, but AI will decide. Also venturing in #PhysicalAI (robotics & defense).

@patife Will you be here in April ? So cool to see rows shining !!!

🌁 Going go SF with the Superhuman Porto (Rows) team. What a magical time to work in tech. Last week we completed post-acquisition onboarding in Berlin. Now it's time to start contributing! Two things of mention: 1) AI is showing up everywhere, both a tool and as a destination for client services. While this is expected in 2026, the consistency is super encouraging. 2) Superhuman has the nicest people. Maybe they should rebrand again to Supernice. Many flew in to meet us in Porto and Berlin, from different locations in the US. They were generous with their time and their insights, open turf, all hands on deck, and big plans ahead. I feel like we've worked here for a couple of months already. DM if you'd like to catchup in SF, i'll have an hour daily towards the end of day. I already started with a chance chat with @eisokant at the airport. Can't beat that.

@lucchaissac Oh my god!

🐉📽️

One of the hardest things early stage atm. Do you only build for AI native company? Do you speak old playbook company? The products for those 2 ICP are completely different.

Chinese take @openclaw very literally #Shenzen meet-up

@paulichon Viens avec nous faire un safari robotics début mars. Plein de beaux toutous et de gros orangs-outans.

Mon prochain pitbull

Everyone talks about humanoids. Meanwhile, @loki_robotics:

@cyrilblondel @paulichon 👋 @cyrilblondel Je n’ai pas tout réussi avec @getluko et j’ai fait des erreurs, tu as raison. Certains ont gagné de l’argent avec Luko, d’autres en ont perdu — pas mal. Je te souhaite d’avoir des échecs aussi grands que tes rêves, et j’espère réussir quelque chose un jour.

Je n’ai jamais dit que c’était simple, mais communiquer en sous entendant que Luko était une réussite c’est gros.. un peu de modestie peut être. Après ça reste un beau projet pour lui de rejoindre Hexa, et je lui souhaite la réussite.. mais c’est le communiqué qui me fait sourire.

Quand on sait que Luko a pas gagner 1€ et que l’on connaît la fin de l’histoire 👀

@inventorOli congrats @inventorOli !

@patamiel it's coming this year for sure. 2026 is the year AI works constantly for you in the background. Every (wealthy) consumer, and every business

Ça doit exister, non ? Je paierais volontiers pour un agent IA sécurisé, connecté à mes comptes et documents, capable de gérer l’administratif, d’optimiser mes finances, d’organiser mes voyages et de me suggérer sorties ou lectures. Il bosse, il propose, je décide. 🤔

@PEntremont 100% huge opportunity to offer entire stacks/UI with blocks made/easy to vibe building.

Vibe coding is hilariously complicated for non technical people. Claude code obv, even Cursor is literally non-usable. You may find it funny, but those are dozens of $b+ opportunities.

@P5Lawrence Hahaha si je pouvais 🤣

@paulichon Je suis assez abasourdi par l’absence de réaction / mouvement de protestation plus fort. Le message : si vous êtes ambitieux barrez vous, en Europe on a décidé que l’économie c’est finalement pas si important…

Ce tweet est fou 🙁

Looks like #windsurf is soo back ! Whether it’s against #kitesurf or @cursor_ai , it’s still about riding good waves, I guess.

NOTE: Using OpenAi Operator at your bank in EU is illegal by law! Web access for assistants was banned years ago as part of “Open banking” Here is the story of why: 15 years ago I stumbled into Sofort in Germany. A company with the idea to build a digital assistant that would interact with your banks poor UI, so you as a user could avoid it. Just like operator. Back then it was script based, not AI but it worked. I was so impressed Klarna bought the company. It has since then processed billions of dollars. But of course banks got scared! What happens if people use the digital assistant only, instead of their bank. And what if the assistant says, stop paying those fees to your bank and let me help you switch? So German banks sued. They claimed privacy concerns. It went to Brussels and a long lobbying and legal fight pursued. This was the beginning of what we today call open banking! I and others spent years fighting over consumers right to use digital assistants, when accessing their banks. We knew this was critical to create real competition, in an industry that has been plagued by excess profits for years. At first Jonathan Hill from UK was responsible and very supportive. But then he left and a German guy came onboard. He was 100% aligned with incumbent banks and we thought the case was lost. However he did a mistake and let some Russian oligarchs take him for a ride on their private jet. And so he was out. Finally @VDombrovskis stepped in. He was smart and supportive but pressure from banks was intense. There was rumors that they were funding privacy groups in Germany, to have them use privacy concerns to kill Open Banking. What if the digital assistant accessed some of your private data? We were about to loose the vote, when the competitive authorities of EU started getting interested. They suspected the banks were lobbying and pursuing this matter for profit reasons to reduce competition(really…). A few weeks before the vote in parliament they raided the offices of some Dutch and Polish banks. Everyone got super nervous and the Open Banking regulation was passed! Almost… A small technical detail was left to EBA (European banking authorities). Should your digital assistant use an API for access to your bank account or the standard web UI you use yourself for accessing your bank? We pushed as hard as we could. We highlighted and said, if your assistant is mandated to use the API that your bank supplies. What if the API don’t support all the same features. Or the API is broken? Don’t worry said regulators. You can complain with authorities 😂 We said at least let the digital assistant, as fall back, use the web UI. Then banks cant cheat, as they will know we can always use the same UI as their human customers. It’s called self regulation. But EBA ignored us. Today web UI access for digital assistants as ChatGPT Operator is illegal by law. And surprise, surprise the open banking API of European banks, continue to be broken, lack functionality and banks add as much friction as they can. We report and see thousands of issues with these APIs every year. And people ask me why open banking has not become a larger success… What do you say @donaldtusk time for a change? Jest potrzebne!

@real_vaishak @kobi_kelemen @cmcgartoll Amazing job ! Can’t wait for AI ratatouille

Baby’s first cut! Got this working in record time. Thanks to @kobi_kelemen @cmcgartoll robot sous chefs are imminent
