Wabi 2.0 is live!
personal agents are one person, one chat. but the parts of life that matter run on more than one person
Wabi is an agent you use together. you talk to it, it does stuff, builds the apps you need, and anyone can join the thread - your partner, your best friend, the preschool moms groupchat
school changes pickup time → Wabi updates the family calendar, everyone sees it.
a show you’d both love → Wabi finds a night that works, gets the tickets.
the trip everyone keeps talking about → Wabi picks the dates, builds the itinerary, books it
go start a thread with your people 👇
🤖 Made with AI

AI slop isn't just tacky and uninspired. It can get you sued.
Generating fake AI faces that resemble real people, or using someone's likeness without permission, is creating new legal and reputational risks for brands.
So we built @mirrormirror_ai as part of a16z @speedrun, a marketplace where brands can digitally book real models and creators to generate AI content using their likeness, with their permission.
Brands browse and book identity-verified talent, agree on usage rights, and generate content within those terms. Every approved image comes with a signed license and embedded provenance.
We're seeing brands produce lookbooks and campaign visuals up to 10x faster, with up to 90% cost savings. Meanwhile, models and creators can earn additional income from their digital likeness without having to show up for another shoot.
Everyone is racing to make AI generation faster, cheaper, and more realistic. But there's still a huge missing piece: how do you license the rights to the people appearing in AI-generated content at scale?
That's why I'm excited about what we're building. Not just another AI generator, but the licensing and rights infrastructure for AI-generated content.

Just another day at the office @usv -- but excited to announce our latest set of funds: $900M in new capital to back startups from inception to momentum, at a moment when many large markets are about to be transformed.
Huge congrats to @jsawadd and the team! Amazing to see the progress and proud to be a small backer.

AI has terrible memory
Introducing Micro, an agent that remembers more than Claude, Codex & OpenClaw

I'm a chronic tinkerer of my own schedule and process. Recently it compounded into Nerve, the multiagent OS that runs my life AND Finch (Series B, 100+ employees). 3,000+ brain notes, 145 background jobs, agents running on Ralph loops.🧵
What if I told you that almost nothing in this actually changes whether an AI recommends your site?
The game is won or lost in web search and re-ranking, and agents almost never see any of these items until they actually start implementing your product.
Today, we are excited to introduce isitagentready.com — a new tool to help site owners understand how they can make their sites optimized for agents. cfl.re/4tgEUPc

For 30 years, every merchant's security stack has been built around one goal: keep bots out.
AI agents break that assumption. They're trying to buy — and merchant fraud systems can't tell the difference between a scalper and a customer's AI assistant.
But merchants are already doing a lot of what's needed. GEO and LLM-optimized SEO are making products discoverable by agents. The real shift is in bot management — flipping from "block everything automated" to "let the right bots transact safely."
Fraud platforms are already adapting. The merchants who get this right first will be where agents route purchases.

Your agents suck when using the web because 85% of it doesn't have an API. Browserbase gives them everything they need to do work online.
Leading AI companies like Ramp, Lovable, and Clay trust us to power agents that do real work on behalf of real people.
With a single API key, your agent gets everything it needs to navigate the wild web: browsers, search, fetch, identity, a sandbox runtime, and model gateway.
Stop waiting on integrations, build agents that can browse and interact with the web just like humans.

Great people and great outcome for the team redefining an entire industry.

Today we're announcing a universal, open protocol for agentic commerce.
200M+ endpoints. 30 years in production. Trillions in annual volume. Every merchant, every country, every currency. No integration required. Zero.
The protocol is the World Wide Web.

I'd be so mad if I caught my agent buying random things from ads on Meta.
"Get back to coding buddy!"
Businesses can now sell directly within an ad or browsing session on Facebook, powered by the Agentic Commerce Protocol and @stripe stripe.com/newsroom/news/che…
Incredible company and product, with a very personal mission. Everyone who holds crypto should check out @OnchainEstate
I'm building @OnchainEstate (Tomorrow Labs) with James Tse to save your digital assets from death and taxes.
A wallet for all your digital assets with built in succession.
Love the thesis, but do the math first.
VCX is trading at 16x its actual NAV.
Amazon stock gives you *more* Anthropic exposure per dollar than VCX does right now. Microsoft gives you 7x more OpenAI exposure.
You already have access to these companies. Buying VCX is just paying a 16x premium because you didn’t do research.
The Anthropic mini IPO is unfolding and you already missed a 15x return
The stock is named VCX by Fundrise and just went up 1,500% in 5 days on the NYSE
It’s a fund holding:
- Anthropic = 21%
- OpenAI = 10%
- SpaceX = 5%
- Databricks = 18%
- Anduril = 7%
$VCX has a NAV of $19 per share. This morning it just traded at $312.
That means the market is valuing a $650 million fund at $5.4 billion 🤯
Investors are paying an 8x premium just to touch these companies.
Why? Because the most important companies being built right now refuse to go public. And people are so desperate for exposure that they will pay almost anything to get it.
The private markets are sitting on trillions in value that public investors have been locked out of and this stampede tells you everything about how much hype there will be around these IPOs.
I hope this speeds things up
You should implement MPP. @stripe built something real that represents the future of how agents will transact.
But it's worth understanding what it's actually demonstrating — and what it isn't.
The MPP model optimizes for the transaction. Pay per call, stateless, no relationship required.
The real opportunity is what comes after: agent arrives → you recognize the org behind it → you offer a free trial → it becomes an enterprise customer.
That chain doesn't start with a payment. It starts with identity.
MPP is the right infrastructure once you know who you're dealing with.
The question that comes first: who does this agent belong to?
If you're building for agent traffic — how are you thinking about that today?
