A CEO from one of our portfolio companies shared this with their team. I’m re-sharing it with their permission, because it resonated and reflects what all founders and CEOs should be communicating. -- We are living through a period of compounding change. And in moments like this, the biggest risk is no longer making the wrong decision. It is moving too slowly while the world moves around you. There are two paths. We can play defense: - Protect what we have - Optimize what works - Wait for clarity It feels safe. It isn’t. Or we can play offense: - Learn faster than the environment changes - Use new tools to solve old problems in better ways - And create entirely new strategies and businesses That’s where the opportunity is. Challenge yourself to do things faster and better than you have ever attempted. Stay uncomfortable. Stay on the front foot.

Your headphones just became a personal translator in 70+ languages. 🎧✨ Google Translate’s “Live translate” with headphones is officially on iOS. We're also expanding this capability to more countries around the world for both @Android and iOS users. To try it, open the Translate app, tap “Live translate” and connect your headphones.

Today, we’re announcing the winners of the MedGemma Impact Challenge, launched in collaboration with @Kaggle. 850+ participating teams showed us how AI can help bridge global healthcare gaps. Check out the winning innovations →goo.gle/47oQG1l

73 product releases in 52 days. That's not a launch cadence — that's a different kind of company. I tracked every Anthropic release from Feb 1 to Mar 23 by going through @bcherny, @trq212, @noahzweben, @felixrieseberg, @lydiahallie, @amorriscode, @feldman, @dickson_tsai, and @claudeai. Built a calendar with first-announcement attribution. Look at the acceleration. February had bursts with gaps between them. March 9 onward is almost every single day — Code Review, Channels, Dispatch, Computer Use, back to back. The individual features get coverage. The shipping velocity doesn't. It should.

🚨 Andrej Karpathy just explained the scariest thing happening in software right now.. someone poisoned a Python package that gets 97 million downloads a month.. and a simple pip install was enough to steal everything on your machine.. SSH keys.. AWS credentials.. crypto wallets.. database passwords.. git credentials.. shell history.. SSL private keys.. everything.. and here's the part that should terrify every developer alive.. the attack was only discovered because the attacker wrote sloppy code.. the malware used so much RAM that it crashed someone's computer.. if the attacker had been better at coding.. nobody would have noticed for weeks.. one developer.. using Cursor with an MCP plugin.. had litellm pulled in as a dependency they didn't even know about.. their machine crashed.. and that crash saved thousands of companies from getting their entire infrastructure stolen.. Karpathy's take is the real wake up call.. every time you install any package you're trusting every single dependency in its tree.. and any one of them could be poisoned.. vibe coding saved us this time.. the attacker vibe coded the attack and it was too sloppy to work quietly.. next time they won't make that mistake.

Tomorrow we will unveil the all new vibe coding experience in @GoogleAIStudio, the team has spent 4 months rebuilding it all from scratch and smoothing out rough edges to help everyone bring their ideas to life. This is a big step forward, but just the start : )

@DallasAptGP thanks for sharing, what's the benefit of using linked files in obsidian vs. using plain unlinked .md files?

We built a system where Claude knows our entire company before I type a word. Three operating companies. 50+ properties. Full context on every session. Three tools. Any small business can build this. Most business owners use AI the same way every time. Open Claude. Re-explain the business. Re-explain the team. Re-explain the numbers. Then ask the question. You're onboarding the same employee every morning. We fixed this. Claude now knows the full operation before I type a word. Start with your most important company knowledge. Turn each topic into its own markdown file. Markdown is simple text that AI reads clean. Think about what you re-explain over and over. How your business makes money. Your org chart and who owns what. Your pricing. Key metrics for each team member. Your sales process. Your brand voice. One topic per file. Keep them short. Put everything in Obsidian. It's free. Files stay on your computer. Nothing goes to the cloud. Think of it as a filing cabinet on your own hard drive that AI can search in milliseconds. Here's what makes it work. Every file connects to related files through tagged links called wikilinks. When you ask Claude about a specific client, it doesn't just find the client file. It pulls every project, contract, invoice, and note tied to that client. One question. Full picture. Then connect Claude Code. It works like the regular Claude desktop app with one difference. It has the keys to your filing cabinet. Claude Code reads files right off your computer. No uploads. No cloud. No file size limits. Your financials, client data, and internal strategy never leave your machine. For business owners who won't put sensitive data on someone else's server, this solves the problem. Most people I know spend $100 to $200 a month on Claude. If you're already paying that, you should be getting more out of it than a chatbot that forgets who you are every session. Some of you already use Claude Projects. Good. That puts you ahead of most people. Projects let you upload files and give Claude a custom instruction set. For small tasks, it works. If you have a handful of documents and a clear use case, Projects is the right starting point. But it has a ceiling. Upload limits cap how much context you can load. Your files live on Anthropic's servers. And every project is its own silo. Your sales project doesn't talk to your ops project. Your finance files don't connect to your team files. The Obsidian setup removes all three limits. No upload cap. Files stay on your machine. And every file links to every related file across your whole company. The last piece is one instruction file. It tells Claude how your company works, what role it plays, and how to navigate the knowledge base. Think of it as the onboarding doc you'd hand a senior executive on day one. Except this executive never forgets it. Once it's built, every session starts with full context. Claude knows your team. Your numbers. Your processes. You skip the setup. You go straight to the work. Three tools. Obsidian (free). Claude Code (you're already paying for it). One instruction file. If you run a business and you're still re-explaining yourself to AI every session, you're leaving speed on the table.

We worked with @Ginkgo to connect GPT-5 to an autonomous lab, so it could propose experiments, run them at scale, learn from the results, and decide what to try next. That closed loop brought protein production cost down by 40%.

Shopify is building the foundation for agentic commerce. Universal Commerce Protocol, which we co-developed with Google, is now live. UCP will make it faster for agents and retailers to integrate. It’s open by default, so platforms and agents can use UCP to start transacting with any merchant. Major retailers are already using it. Agents can handle everything from discovery to fulfillment, and support things like discounts, subscriptions, and loyalty programs. We’ve accounted for all types of commerce.

Every founder faces this choice sooner or later: stick with what’s working or take a bet on something new? Entrepreneurs want to move fast. The problem? You can't wait months for enough traffic to validate your ideas. So we built SimGym. A new app where AI “shoppers” can simulate real buyer behavior and walk away with feedback on theme changes. These aren’t simple bots. They’re informed by the traffic patterns we’ve seen powering billions of purchases over 20 years. Run a simulation. Get feedback. Know if your idea has potential. No scale required. No guesswork.
