What's the last health question you Googled?
A weird symptom? A medication side effect? A lab result you couldn't make sense of? Or something you felt awkward asking someone about?
We've all gone down that search rabbit hole at some point.
Tell us, what were you looking up? 👇

Convenience at the cost of privacy?
People are increasingly willing to give AI access to their emails, calendars, documents and even their devices if it makes life easier.
What happens when that same convenience involves your health data?
Imagine an @instinct for healthcare.
An AI that understands your health history, connects the dots across your medical records, helps you navigate healthcare and takes action when you need it.
The potential is massive but so is the responsibility that comes with access to someone's most personal data.
Would you trust an AI with your health if it meant never having to navigate healthcare alone?
We’re hiring interns at August AI, Bengaluru. 👇
🎬 Creative Intern
You think differently. You’ll come up with ideas for video and static ads, help bring them to life, and figure out what’s working and why. Plus other creative projects as they come up.
✍️ Social Media Writer Intern
You write posts people stop scrolling for. You’ll create hooks, captions and scripts in a voice that’s your own.
What you get:
📍 Bengaluru (in-office)
💰 Stipend: ₹20,000–35,000/month

a good launch video can make a mediocre founder look like a generational entrepreneur.
same founder. same product. same team.
just better storytelling, better execution and 90 seconds that make people believe.
distribution is power. perception is leverage.

The best founders don’t just build products. They make it impossible for people to ignore the problem they’re solving.
Building in silence is comfortable. Getting real feedback isn’t.

Clarity of thought is simple in its essence, yet deeply divine as it requires you to step outside the chaotic noise of everyday mental conditioning.
have extream respect for folks who have clarity and the balls to act on it

Founders who can't record there own video or showcase there own product in public can never trully become trully sucessfull.
Insecure people can never achieve greatness, period.

This could make a real difference for people managing ongoing prescriptions.
Curious to see how the pilot works in practice.
AI can now help renew prescriptions, legally.
9 million+ people already use August AI for health clarity.
Today, Utah regulators approved us to pilot AI-assisted renewals for chronic care patients (diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease etc.) with a licensed physician signing off on every renewal.
That makes us one of the first AI health companies in the U.S. to enter a regulated prescription workflow.

This is Dope
THE ENTOURAGE
the best founders have had someone who showed up early. a game-changing intro. advice that saved months. a 3AM call that fixed the problem.
introducing @thefounderfolks ✨
> who showed up for you when you needed help the most? tag them + all ears for the stories
Feels like agi is here
I led engineering at Google DeepMind.
Today, I'm proud to introduce Fo to give personal AI something no lab ever has... Humans.
Other personal AI's pretend AI can do everything. Fo employs humans to do tasks that AI cannot.
- 2x better at real-world task completion (beats other agents by 69%)
- 94% trust rate (4x less likely to leak private info vs Muse, Instinct)

$39 a month, a subscription built around one promise: Never feel lost about your health again.
An AI agent, doctor consults, next-day lab tests, 10-minute prescriptions, unlimited follow-ups, insurance assistance, all in one place. That's August Care, now live across the United States.
August has spent the last few years helping millions of people with everything from fevers to analyzing lab reports. The best medical accuracy of any AI system in the world combined with the ability to genuinely speak to patients in their own words. But that was just the first step.
The bigger goal is an agent that combines AI guidance, experienced doctors, tests, prescriptions, health records, insurance support, and follow-up care into one continuous experience. Not just another generic chatbot or discounted telehealth product.
Spent years helping millions of people understand their health, and we understood pretty quickly that understanding was only one part of the problem.
Knowing what’s going on doesn’t help much if you still have to figure out the doctor, the labs, the prescription, the follow-up, and the cost on your own.
This is probably the biggest step we’ve taken toward what we always thought August could become.

compiled all the use cases built with laya ( chinese competitor of jev)

Randomly caught up with a person who's just started an agency around chatgpt ads.
chatgpt ads is not like google search ads google catches intent after you know what you want.
chatgpt catches you while that intent is still being formed.
the ad itself is a short prompt, a small image, almost like a suggested next step.
Makes me wonder if this becomes a new category altogether.
Could be especially interesting for all those small utility products we thought were dead like PDF tools, niche apps, single use software.
Maybe conversational ads bring them back.
Just got done with a heavy ai work session, when will llms finally get more reliable, ig everyone is just working on smarter and more intelligent models.
Token consumption is increasing on a per prompt basis it not truly increasing the reliability.
In some scenarios, though efficient models more important than reliability (here is where kimi and other chinese models have done wonders)
