Forbes’s AI 50 List highlights the world’s most promising privately-held AI companies, judged on commercial traction, technical talent, and how seriously they've embedded AI into what they build. @AnthropicAI, @cursor_ai, @cyera_io, @DecagonAI, @GammaApp, @WeAreLegora, @Lovable, @perplexity_ai, @speak, @SynthesiaIO, and @thinkymachines made the list. In what Forbes called a highly competitive field, this is a testament to these teams’ sharp ideas and real technical depth. Read the full article: forbes.com/lists/ai50/

Strongly agree with this K-shaped divergence happening on software teams. It's existentially urgent to move faster here than what many consider reasonable, because a decent-sized gap today will compound into an insurmountable chasm in output and execution speed and quality by the fall. This means your team must simultaneously buy into the vision of what is possible and will be possible soon, while also being in the trenches on a daily basis wrestling with and steering agentic systems that still often make mistakes, overcomplicate things, and don't always do what the user is envisioning. Navigating this takes strong, continuous leadership that's also in the trenches. We're doing a lot at Speak to stay on the cutting edge here as a team - a few examples: - Continually thinking about what we're still doing manually and following that signal to agentify our repos and processes - Retooling our engineering hiring process to explicitly test for agentic engineering skill and mindset - Explicitly trying to build production features while keeping manual code as close to 0% as possible If you're working at a company that isn't all-in, you should leave before it's too late. Accelerate!

Now playing, latest episode of Biography podcast with @WouterTeunissen & @connorzwick 🎧
Wouter Teunissen@WouterTeunissen

I sat down with @connorzwick , founder and CEO of @speak. We talked about what it takes to build one of the most ambitious consumer AI companies in the world and how AI is about to completely reshape how software companies are built. Today Speak does $100M ARR with over 15 million worldwide users... This was an insanely great episode, you'll hear a lot about: Why Connor flew to South Korea after realising the country spends ~1% of GDP learning English! If the application layer is where the biggest AI companies will be built How Speak built for AI YEARS before the recent boom The danger of “magical thinking” and why most founders are focusing on the wrong things Why smaller, faster teams will dominate in the AI era You’re going to want to see this.

As we all know on X, agentic AI coding crossed a capability threshold at the end of 2025 such that the era of software engineers writing code by hand was over. @speak, we're urgently embracing this fundamental change to the way we develop software. I wrote up a snapshot of what we’re observing and learning, and where we think things are going: speak.com/blog/agentic-e…

Something shifted in December 2025. AI coding went from typing code to directing agents with natural language. The pace is disorienting. Opinions from January are already stale. We've made this transformation our top priority. Very-much-in-flux snapshot of what we're learning from @adhsu speak.com/blog/agentic-e…
