Today, we’re releasing a feature that allows Claude to control your computer: Mouse, keyboard, and screen, giving it the ability to use any app. I believe this is especially useful if used with Dispatch, which allows you to remotely control Claude on your computer while you’re away.

Twitter friends! As some of you know, I joined @AnthropicAI back in December to continue scaling their Cap Markets & Corp Dev team. We're at an inflection point where AI is reshaping how we (and our children) will work, learn, and interact with the world. Anthropic’s mission to build safe & reliable systems is something I’m proud to work toward. It is the ~only thing that could have pulled me from my prior world. The mission alignment and pace of the first months have been remarkable as we grow to meet the global demand for Claude. If you’d like to explore using Claude in your business, please reach out. And for the many who asked…the @twifintech podcast is on temporary pause, to return. I’m staying close to FS with our internal teams and external network - it is one of the most exciting verticals for AI. Lastly, thank you to my OMERS/OV teammates for your mentorship over these last few years and to the exceptional founders I was fortunate to partner with. Excited to keep supporting you all from the other side!

What separates AI agents that work in the real world from those that just sound good in a pitch? @btaylor argues that the real test is whether agents can operate in high-stakes, regulated environments. @SierraPlatform's agents are doing exactly that across financial services, healthcare, and lending, delivering higher satisfaction scores, higher completion rates, and dramatically higher self-service resolution. Bret also points to outcome-based pricing as a key shift. Instead of paying for seats or usage, companies only pay when the agent delivers value. Full episode with Bret Taylor and @RyanZauk out now.

Why is AI such a natural fit for customer service? @btaylor, co founder of @SierraPlatform explains how in financial services the first real shift is happening at the point of customer contact. AI agents are becoming the primary digital touchpoint, replacing long wait times, phone trees, and the fragmented experiences customers have had to navigate for years. If AI can resolve everyday issues on the spot, it changes the entire customer experience. It makes support immediate, consistent, and available wherever the customer is. And for companies, it unlocks service levels that were never possible under traditional cost structures. Catch the full conversation with Bret Taylor and @RyanZauk: pod.link/1669335245/episode/…

🎙️"The idea is that every company’s AI agent will be as important as their mobile app or their website...it will be the primary digital touchpoint in this AI world." I sat down with @btaylor Co-Founder & CEO of @SierraPlatform and Board Chair of OpenAI for a conversation on all things AI at Money2020. Bret was the most present, approachable, and relaxed of any executive I've interviewed. Video below - enjoy the show. Some Key Takeaways: 1⃣“Every company’s AI agent will be as important as their mobile app or their website.” Agents will handle workflows end to end (fraud reports, mortgage refis, account changes) across all channels, languages, and modalities. 2⃣CS agents are showing immediate ROI on both the top and bottom line...Rocket Companies customers engaging with Sierra are 3x more likely to complete a transaction. Ramp's self-service resolution rate is now >90%. Cigna Healthcare is replatforming its IVR with AI. 3⃣Outcome pricing raises the stakes for software, morphing them into true business partners. Outcome pricing will create accountability, transparency, and measurable ROI in an era of vague productivity claims. 4⃣The Future of AI is 3 things. Multimodal, ultra-personalized, and most importantly, proactive. AI can solve a problem before it arises or before the customer knows it has occurred. 5⃣We're in an AI bubble, but it's a healthy one. Looking across the valley, capital discipline has been loose (put politely), but the market opportunity and technology advancements are real. youtube.com/shorts/xGU6NwGg6…

Are we in an AI bubble? Bret Taylor, Co-Founder & CEO of @SierraPlatform and Chairman of the Board at @OpenAI, joins @RyanZauk to discuss the state of AI, how agents & outcome pricing will disrupt SaaS, and how Sierra’s agents are transforming businesses through customer service. From building Google Maps and Facebook’s "Like" button, to leading Salesforce and now Sierra, Bret has helped shape the internet as we know it. Hear why he thinks today's AI boom mirrors 1999 - most startups will vanish but today’s winners will be larger than ever. Catch the conversation: pod.link/1669335245/episode/…

🏅We save our best for @money2020 Next week, I'll sit down with one of AI's most central figures - Bret Taylor - to unpack this unique moment in human history. Bret is the CEO & Co-founder of @SierraPlatform , Chairman of the Board at @OpenAI former Co-CEO of Salesforce, and former CTO of Facebook.

We'll cover Sierra's rapid rise, outcome-based pricing, FDEs, what moats remain, software's death (rebirth?), OpenAI, landmark partnerships with fintechs, and much more. Join us live on Tuesday at 11:15am at the MoneyPot. See you there.
