What if your personal coach texted you every Sunday with next week's plan? Thats one of the agents on Robyn. It reads your watch data, knows your race date and your diet, then works while you sleep and sends the plan without you asking Agents for everyday ppl, way beyond coders, thats the part I find exciting
🤝 Paid partnership
Meet Robyn, the personal agentic platform built around your life and work. - Tell her what you need in one sentence. No setup, ever. - Spin up a fleet of agents preloaded with your context that work while you sleep. - Access it on the web or just text it. - 20hrs/week saved per user. I’m Jenny, and I spent 3 years working with Nobel Laureate Eric Kandel, who mapped out memory in the human brain. We built all of that into Robyn, making it the first AI capable of taking intelligent action. Invite only access opens today. We’re giving out 1000 invite codes. Link in first comment. Comment "Robyn" for 100 free credits.

Imagine giving every AI agent at your company its own ID badge... Thats Mintive >> each agent only gets the tools it needs, every action gets written down and each team gets its own AI budget The more agents ppl run, the more this kind of safety work decides who can actually move fast
🤝 Paid partnership
Every AI agent at work runs with the access of whoever set it up. That’s why security keeps saying no. Today we’re launching @mintive: every agent gets its own identity and permissions, the same way every employee does. We’ve raised $11M, with @cowboyvc leading our latest round.

Client calls: we need to cut the budget by 30% For most design teams thats a bad month! With Snaptrude Agent you decide where the cost comes out, It updates the layout, the structure and the drawings for you The architect stays the director, the agent does the heavy lifting Try it yourself here rn: snaptrude.com
🤝 Paid partnership
Today we're launching @snaptrude Agent, the most advanced agent for building design. It does real design work with you, from a site to a construction-ready LOD 400 model with structure, MEP and drawings. Then can go back to your existing software with your families intact. About a year ago we bet the company on AI. Honestly the insight came from software engineering. It wasn't long ago that autocomplete felt like a big deal, and now engineers direct agents that write a lot of the code. I think the same shift is coming to how we design buildings, and it's already started. Most designers I meet aren't short on skill, they're short on time. Take the call every design team dreads, the client cuts the budget by 30%. Today that's a bad month for everyone. With the agent you're the director. You decide where the cost comes out, and it updates the layout, coordinates the structure and MEP, and redoes the drawings. So when design exploration gets this cheap, we go from 3 options to 300, and more options means better buildings. Since August our users have gone through more than 140 billion tokens, and firms like Jacobs, Studio+, Kajima, VMDO, Dekker and hundreds of others use Snaptrude today. In our early access, more than 2,000 designers have run over 25,000 tasks through the agent since September. We also built a benchmark for this, AECBench, because in AEC an almost correct answer is still wrong. It gives AI the same brief an architect would get, has its design in a real BIM model, and scores the result against the brief and against how architects review design. We're publishing the first results today, link below. Thank you @prashanthp at @Accel and Shub and the team at @foundamental for backing us when this was still a bet, and the Snaptrude team, who built every bit of this. Really proud of you all. Thanks to our investors, @scottbelsky, @andreasklinger, @thilokonzok, @immad, @CindyXBi, @DanilaVladi, @jmwass, rahulchaudhary, @adamecourt, Zach Ginsburg, Alex duff, Paul grossinger, really appreciate all the help along the way.

Google just released its next frontier model and most people can't use it yet Gemini 4 Carbon is going to trusted cyber defenders first, then more partners over time Slow and careful rollouts might be the new normal for top models Do you like this approach?
I did say we'd be releasing our models periodically...introducing Gemini 4 Carbon, our next frontier model. Following Argon's release just two weeks ago, Carbon shows the pace at which we’re pushing the frontier, it ranks #1 on the recently updated v5.0 of @ArtificialAnlys Intelligence Index at 59. It also leads across key cybersecurity evaluations scoring 88.2% on SEC-bench Pro for finding vulnerabilities, 54.8% on ExploitGym for exploitation, and 71.0% on CWE-bench for patching. We’re seeing significant improvements in long-horizon tasks even compared to Argon, and we’ve strengthened frontier safeguards. As we did with Argon, we’re going to roll it out gradually + responsibly. Some trusted cyber defenders will get access starting this week. We'll be expanding it to more partners through our Fairwind Program, ahead of wider availability soon, so hang tight!

Ever wanted to try yoga but had no idea what to even buy? Thats the kind of question scene by @daletlabs is built for You type something loose like "what do I need to get into yoga" and it shows you real looking scenes with the mat, the outfit and the blocks Every photo is made by AI but every product in it is real Tap what you like and buy it right there
🤝 Paid partnership
We raised a $7M pre-seed to make shopping fun again. @daletlabs generates media just for you: like walking into a mall built around your taste. And you can buy everything in-app. Built by researchers from Google, Runway and MIT. Backed by @lightspeedvp and amazing angels.

Most VCs try to win deals with money Begin Capital won one with a printed photo They hung a top founder's portrait next to Elon Musk on their office wall He laughed and gave them a spot in the deal That pirate style grew their first fund from $20M to $72M and into the top 1% worldwide Now Season 2 is here: $100M for deep tech founders I love VCs with a sense of humor 🏴‍☠️ What's the boldest deal move you've seen?
Renewed for Season 2. $100M for deep tech founders. Now casting: begin.capital

Cheers to the Judgment team on GA 🥂
Today, @JudgmentLabs opens for general access. We believe long running agent systems will generate more exhaust data than the world can currently process. Hidden within agent traces are rich records of how to make these systems better: what users ask for, when agents stumble, and how agents interact with the external world. Judgment is the most performant monitoring and improvement layer for long-horizon agents. We’re excited to see what you build!

What if your app could watch a video, hear a question and answer out loud without ever touching the internet? Thats LFM3 from Liquid AI. The vision model is small enough for a phone yet keeps up with models around 6 times its size I'd love to see what indie devs build with this first

𝙻𝙵𝙼𝟹-𝚅𝙻-𝟸𝙱 can also serve as a foundation for robotics. We explore three adaptations spanning the robotics hierarchy, from tool-based task planning to navigation and manipulation. Tool orchestration: ground objects by pointing, measure them with depth tools, call motion planners, and check outcomes in new camera images. Pair it with a fine-tuned d1-2B skill monitor to detect failures and guide recovery. Navigation: translate route instructions and a sequence of image observations into visually grounded waypoint trajectories. The model achieves 53% success on R2R and 43% on RxR in unseen scenes under strict continuous-control evaluation with wall sliding disabled. Manipulation: turn images, language, and robot state into multi-step action chunks in one forward pass. Jointly trained across 15 embodiments, the resulting VLA achieves 96.2% average success across the four LIBERO suites and 45.7% on RoboCasa-GR1 tabletop tasks. The manipulation VLA generates action chunks in under 50 ms on an @nvidia Jetson AGX Orin using TensorRT in FP16, enabling real-time action generation on embedded hardware. 10/

AI agents aren’t just answering questions anymore. They’re shopping on people’s behalf. Today we’re launching Scope Journeys for Muse and Instinct. Want to see how agents purchase from you? Book a demo: tryscope.com/ See what agents are trying to buy, follow their buying decisions, and find out what stops them from purchasing. Scope identifies the issue and prepares the fix. All you need to do is approve it. See how it works 👇

How do you check a proof that no human has ever fully read? You give it to a team of AI agents. Each one takes a piece, they check each other's work and a computer confirms every step is right Axiom just did this with the "periodic table of symmetry", the biggest proof in math history. If agents can team up like this, building big apps the same way feels very close
🤝 Paid partnership
The largest math proof in human history is now computer-verified. Today, Axiom announces a complete Lean auto-formalization of the Classification of Finite Simple Groups, the "periodic table of symmetry." About 15,000 pages, built by over 100 mathematicians across generations.

I believe we'll look back at this past week as a turning point in cybersecurity. AI is fundamentally changing the speed and scale of cyber threats, and the industry needs to move faster. Today, @Eon_io_ is launching the Data Resilience Initiative, helping companies find and protect their most sensitive data immediately. Eon is the only data protection company founded this decade, and the only one that can be deployed in a day. That's why we feel a responsibility to act. While the cybersecurity industry races to address these new threats, companies can't afford to wait to protect their most critical data. Traditional data protection solutions were built for a different era. They still rely on paradigms from the on-prem world, often taking months to deploy. Eon was built differently. We help companies quickly discover their most sensitive data, identify protection gaps, secure it with air-gapped backups, detect ransomware, and recover rapidly from attacks. As part of the Data Resilience Initiative, any company can start deploying Eon today. To remove barriers to getting protected, we're making Eon available at no cost for the first three months. We're also calling on other cybersecurity and data protection companies to join the initiative.

I used to think I needed to understand every part of the code before I could build something useful. Working with AI has changed how I approach it. I can explain what I want, explore possible solutions, review the code, test it, and keep improving the result. I still need to understand what I'm shipping. But I don't have to figure everything out alone
