That’s the end goal I shared with @fdotinc before @youinreal_life got accepted. @hthieblot asked for traction and scalability. > @enesapp and I just made it in our first week of the program: 500+ students IRL in a single city, every Saturday > Started from 8 participants. 100+ last Saturday. 500+ next one +6,163% 🚀 > YIRL is orchestrating a new IRL social routine

@joypbuilds IRL 🫶🙌

i hosted a founder's picnic and 40 founders touched grass

@Celesteamadon 100%! Either you steal it or you earn it. The first one doesn’t last, the second compounds. So trust is the real moat

Founders pitching personalized AI agents almost always arrive at the same line about a "data moat" that gets built one user at a time. Then you ask them how they get the first 500 quality data points on me, and the answer is some version of: scrape my X, my Spotify, my DoorDash, my camera roll, my emails, my texts. I sat through dozens of these pitches when I was at a venture firm and I never bought it. The first reason is legal. Most of those companies do not want you scraping their data. The second reason is the part founders will not admit to investors. Trying to figure out who someone is from the tweets they liked at two in the morning is not very indicative of their personhood. The actual move is to find a use case where users tell you the truth about themselves on purpose. There are not many of those, which is part of why dating is one of the first places AI personalization will work.

@james_im @enesapp Thx 🙏

@KevGasp @enesapp 🔥 good luck!

Ready to welcome 800+ people in real life in Buenos Aires with @enesapp, 9 AI agents (and 7 friends still helping 😬)

@gching @enesapp Intense !

@KevGasp @enesapp this is so fire

When you reach that level with your AI companion, you know it can help millions of people 🫶 Kudos to @enesapp for making it happen ✨

@far33d @ahmad_roumieh AI native agent solution to orchestrate human connection IRL 🫶 It’s happening 🤖🤝🫂🌎🚀

Agent-native products are coming. Every product on the internet was built for a human with eyes, a cursor, and a credit card. Agents have none of those things. Most companies are teaching agents to pretend to be humans. That's a hack. The real opportunity is products designed for agents from scratch. Everything inverts: • Discovery → protocol registries, not ads and billboards • Trust → machine-readable reputation, not brand • Onboarding → full capabilities upfront, not a narrow slice • Payments → spend authorization, not checkout flows • Retention → zero. Agents switch between API calls. 30 years of human product design. Day one of agent product design.

@tkexpress11 @far33d Yessss !!!

@far33d we're in an infra wave

17 days into the Canopy program at @fdotinc… time flies. Being surrounded by people operating at the same intensity every day starts to normalize everything. But step back for a second… you’re actually shipping faster than ever

My first attempt to connect ppl together. > It was 8 years ago, through sports. I launched Smatch, the « Tinder for sports » > 100k users. People loved it. They joined. But like every other matching app, they got stuck swiping and ghosting each other > Only a very small percentage actually met IRL Lesson learned.

The new generation doesn’t lack the desire to meet new people, it lacks the structure to do so. The “first step” toward a stranger is now harder than ever before. @youinreal_life promise is simple: we take care of it for you. I started doing it myself over a year ago with whatsapp groups, 5–10 people per hangout. This Saturday, our AI agents take over: 800–900 participants per hangout.

@kairofyi Where is it ?

What’s your favorite place to brainstorm ideas here in SF ? Here’s mine 👇🏼

@siliconmania @Superherohotel Booked! Let’s give it a try. See you IRL ✨

Frontier Tower CEO explains how their @Superherohotel launch got 23,000,000+ views.

@frontiertower @Superherohotel Booked! Let’s give it a try. See you IRL ✨

The real reason founders move to SF isn’t the capital. It’s the hallway conversations. So we built a hallway. Launching @superherohotel: 6 floors in a historic 1920 Nob Hill building. 10-min walk from @frontiertower. Members have raised $150M. Events have pulled 70K. Sleep at the hotel. Build at the Tower. Come for 4 weeks. Ship, raise, break through 👇

@jasonhywang Nice view! Where is it? I’m looking for a place to stay

everyone in YC lives in the Landing. But we choose this view instead still 5 min away from YC good option for S26 founders to consider

@FurqanR @pratyushkai Ship it and see you IRL ✨

Only good things happen when you ship.

@hthieblot @FurqanR this is not even about scalability anymore… this feels like AGI 🤣

Just reached 700 participants IRL today… orchestrated by AI. ~200 in a single day after @youinreal_life shared a viral AI reel on IG > we started @fdotinc 13 days ago. First time YIRL orchestrates at this scale. we started with a group of 8 students. last time it was 108… that was a week ago > still 3 days to register, this fourth Saturday hangout might go over 1000 students IRL across the city 🤯 > YIRL can now create reels and attract students on its own > attracting, onboarding, matching, scheduling, booking, follow-ups… fully AI, end to end. Orchestrating real-life connections, at scale. I can’t sleep

@michelleefang Thx for sharing! See you IRL
