Steph Mui

Grateful to announce @getpinxyz 's seed round today, lead by @Initialized @brettdg with incredible partners including @IndustryVC @NEA & many more. Thank you @nmasc_ @TechCrunch, and special shoutout to my OG cofounder in @2020_fund, @lmushin !! techcrunch.com/2022/08/25/sta…

@measure_plan so cool!

i made an app that turns videos into stop motion animations you can create an animation in <1 minute using just your iphone made with roboflow RF-DETR (+other computer vision magic) to auto-select keyframes i'll release a testflight app soon, let me know if you want to try :]

@karenxcheng @cursor_ai wowowow

i hooked up a rotary phone from the 1920s to an AI agent, that replies on a mechanical display it’s like a dumbphone without distracting notifications here’s how i built this w/ @cursor_ai

@heshie this would be an incredible series

nyc has the most insane facebook marketplace finds

but seriously i love hyperagent and it's one of the few ai tools i use daily

hyperagent is openclaw for people who don't want to spend 8 hours and $900 (accidentally) on tokens while trying to set it up on their own 🫠 (may or may not be based on a true story idk)

@andrewbusse 💀💀💀 where do i sign up

If OpenClaw feels more like babysitting, you're not alone. Skip the daily crashes, leaked secrets, and constant monitoring. Move to Hyperagent. For a limited time, get $100 in inference credits at signup and $500 when you migrate your first agent. hyperagent.com/anonymous

AI is ripping apart traditional career paths. Everyone will need to adapt. We’re here to help. Today we are reintroducing Leland to the world.

@JohnKoelliker 👏👏👏

@eoghan @salesforce @fin_ai 🎉🎉🎉🎉

We’re excited to share that we just signed an agreement for @salesforce to acquire @fin_ai for ~$3.6B. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of Salesforce’s fiscal year 2027. Fin started as Intercom 15 years ago. We changed our name to cap our transformation just weeks ago. We were a darling of the SaaS era and invented so many of the patterns you see in software today. Nearly four years ago, in need of a reboot, we jumped on weeks-old modern LLMs to create and define the category we know as Customer Agents today. Salesforce invented modern software and SaaS. And @benioff is like the final boss of tech founder CEOs. In seat for 27 years, he’s one of the last of his era. Still pushing, pivoting, placing big bets. It’s a privilege for @destraynor and I to get to partner with him and join forces with Salesforce upon close at this most fascinating time. And will be very fun to get their help bringing Fin to magnitudes more consumers. To our customers: Over the past few years we’ve been shipping intensely. Including recently our groundbreaking model, Apex, and our paradigm-defining internal agent, Operator. With the resources of Salesforce this will only accelerate. And yet little will practically change. I’ll still be CEO, Des will still be running R&D, we’ll both still be committed to continuing to lead this category. Thank you very sincerely and deeply for your belief in us. To all of our friends, our families, and our employees, past and present: While this is not the end, it is a major, pivotal, special, and emotional moment for us. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. For everything. To my cofounders, my exec team: Look what we built. Four young lads with a dream and nothing to lose. And a home grown exec team who pulled off the greatest and arguably only late stage software company pivot to AI, and invented one of the most important categories in AI. Thank you for sticking through all of this with me. And now, time to get back to work. See you at our next product launch in a couple weeks. (:

@patrick_oshag Wind of change podcast by @praddenkeefe (!!)

Anyone read, listened to, or watched anything that’s really got you thinking lately?

@meshtimes_ Omg this is stunning

i hand-sewed a keyboard skirt for WWDC so many people came up and asked if it actually worked lol

@the2ndfloorguy Incredible

i hooked my whoop to my work calendar to find which coworker gives me the most stress 🚨 thanks to fable, I reverse engineered whoop to pull per minute heart rate. nd matched spikes with cal events and attendees I now have a leaderboard and I think about it daily. few info masked for obvious reasons ;)

@sarahookr love this idea

Here is my special project I’ve decided to embark on. I’m going to start leaving clues in Waymos to a treasure hidden somewhere in SF. I’ll assume some Waymo’s are cleaned inbetween rides so I will replicate some clues more than once. More to come. If anyone wants to be part of the treasure planning committee let me know.

MAFIA EP 001

@YoniSmolyar 👏👏

I had a 9-5 job paying more than $400k and quit 6 months ago because it incrementally made my life boring and uninspired and degraded my quality of life and mental health I always dreamed that one day I would be a full time founder and not rely on a biweekly paycheck. I had a voice in my head telling me to do something more exciting and with more impact than just maxing out 401k contributions and having 20 days of paid vacation per year in a “chill job”. I wanted to build something that was truly mine, that could financially support and intellectually satisfy me And not because I wanted to have a bunch of money and be “rich”. Because I wanted to be in charge of my life, my vacations, my 10am on Tuesday and my 3pm on Thursday. I wanted to go to the gym in the middle of the day and generally spend my time as I see fit But I was risk averse. I didn’t quit my job, instead I was a chronic side hustler / wantrepreneur. Built all sorts of small internet businesses that would make a little revenue but never enough to unchain from a stable salary. Dozens of these little businesses over the last 10 years. I knew (hoped) that one day, one of these projects would get traction or show disproportionate opportunity. Something will offer me escape velocity if I keep trying Eventually I started posting daily videos online telling the story of a wantrepreneur, made some mobile apps, and began to earn a strong enough income outside of my 9-5 to finally take the bet on myself and leave my job. “golden handcuffs” is an accurate term. how can a 28yo walk away from his high income and low stress job? must be an idiot Strangers on the internet insist you’re an idiot. Your parents and friends question your decision or reasoning. All conventional wisdom suggests to suck it up, keep your head down, hold onto that W2 income as long as you can, never let go, fill up your retirement 401k and Roth IRA for as long as possible and collect your RSUs and 2.7% annual raise every year until you can’t anymore. Everyone is different. Don’t listen to other people projecting their risk aversion onto you. Be brave. Life is short. Don’t be a little bitch. Don’t give up and don’t settle. It’s your life we’re talking about. Romanticize it and chase your dreams. Don’t be a little bitch!

@jfischoff incredible

This is a real relator in SF hawking a house in an Anthropic shirt, that knows its audience a little too well.

we have 5 hyperagents in our team slack for a variety of things ranging from helping triage customer service issues, flag important notes and deadlines that otherwise may have been missed in the flurry of convo, gives me a daily debrief, triages my email inbox and drafts responses automatically (especially to routine / boring ongoing threads) !

@stephmui @stephmui what do you use it for? What usecases move the needle for you?

hyperagent is one of the few AI tools that i use daily and today they’re giving away $10M in credits to 500 founders (!) even as someone who uses it as much as i do, i can say that $20K goes SUCH a long way. if you’re a founder, apply! (i just did and it takes <10 minutes) @hyperagentapp

@howietl 🙌

@stephmui Love to hear it

We’re giving away $10,000,000 to founders building agent-first businesses. Autonomous, proactive agents will run tomorrow's companies. We're backing 500 founders building them. The Founding 500. hyperagent.com
