AI agents are incredibly powerful, but they still don’t show up where everyday life actually happens.
For so many of us, life runs on group chats. Plans, trips, family logistics, inside jokes, chaos…
That’s why we built @heyJarvie.
We think group chats are the perfect place to use AI with your friends and family.
1/ Last year we got hooked on agents. Today, many friends and family still haven’t found their daily AI.
So we built @heyjarvie, your AI assistant for iMessage group chats.
With an $8.3M Seed from @a16z, @Base10Partners & @lightspeedvp we're giving chats an agentic boost!
Try it at heyjarvie.com.
Turns out people love talking sports in group chats 👀
So we launched live sports updates just in time for this weekend’s World Cup finals 🇪🇸🇦🇷
Ask @heyjarvie for score updates, realtime betting odds, player analysis, half-time reports, or anything else…
Works for other sports too. Give it a spin!
⚽️🏀🏈⚾️🎾🏒🏌️♂️🏎️
Group chats have been loving sports since launch, so we made sports mode even better!
Get live scores, predictions and more just in time for this weekend's World Cup matches!
Check it out!

You can now text your AI agent like you text your group chats.
We are excited to announce our participation in @heyjarvie’s $8.3M seed round as they go live for usage on iMessage, enabling users to message agents through chat apps.
Founder @kenchong was inspired by the AI agent wave in enterprise, and wanted to incorporate agents into everyday communication. Jarvie can be messaged directly or added to group chats to organize plans, perform tasks, and provide summaries in the simple format of just sending a text.
We believe AI assistants like Jarvie have the potential to reshape the future of how we interact with technology for typically mundane tasks.
Congratulations to the team on this launch!

someone built a tool that REMOVES censorship from ANY open-weight LLM with a single click
13 abliteration methods, 116 models, 837 tests, and it gets SMARTER every time someone runs it
its called OBLITERATUS
it finds the exact weights that make the model refuse and surgically removes them, full reasoning stays intact, just the refusal disappears
15 analysis modules map the geometry of refusal BEFORE touching a single weight, it can even fingerprint whether a model was aligned with DPO vs RLHF vs CAI just from subspace geometry alone
then it cuts, the model keeps its full brain but loses the artificial compulsion to say no
every time someone runs it with telemetry enabled their anonymous benchmark data feeds a growing community dataset, refusal geometries, method comparisons, hardware profiles at a scale no single lab could build

🚀 Today, we're thrilled to introduce Cove, a groundbreaking interface for thinking brilliantly with AI, and announce our seed round led by @sequoia
Cove is not a chatbot. It’s AI unconstrained by a chat thread or document editor.
See it in action:
Congrats @ataussig @jeremysliew @ravi_lsvp and the entire team @lightspeedvp!
Thanks for being incredible partners 🙏
1/ A few comments on @Lightspeedvp's new $7B+ global fund family (our 14th), which we announced today.
Congrats @andrewchen on your big day! I know how much hard work you put into this so very happy to see it all come to fruition 👏 🎉🍾

Excited to add @ataussig and @jeremykranz to our amazing Board with @rabois, @andrewchen, @evancharles, Ade @Base10Partners
1/ I am excited to announce @LightspeedVP is leading the $65M Series C of @AllDayKitchens, & I am joining the board.
Delivery will be 25% of restaurant sales by 2025, but the back-end is broken. ADK has built the most scalable solution for kitchen infra.

Less than 6 months after announcing our series B and launching Chicago, we closed $65m from @lightspeedvp, GIC, @tishmanspeyer, @MapleVCFund, @wayneting, @adrianaoun, @ilyaabyzov to hit the gas on expansion 🚀🔥🙏
Come join us: apply.workable.com/all-day-k…
We’re excited to announce a $65 million Series C funding 🚀 All in an effort to build a more innovative and sustainable future for restaurants. Huge thank you to each of our inspiring restaurant partners—without them, this wouldn’t have been possible 💙 #AllDayKitchens
Thanks for being a great partner @andrewchen! Excited to bring @alldaykitchens to more people 🙌
btw, All Day Kitchens - led by @kenchong and Matt Sawchuk - is def the absolute best ex-Uber startup on the planet right now. Executing so well
“By the numbers, the average endowment per student at HBCUs equates to $15,000. Comparable non-HBCU endowments have $410,000.”
Ade, @tjnahigian, @jamisonh, @RexhiDollaku, @chriszeoli, @laurawp, @LOAFonseca working hard to close that gap💪 Truly awesome👏

Thanks @katerogers for talking to me about @alldaykitchens’ expansion to Chicago!
New name, same mission to help restaurants thrive in the digital ordering and delivery era🍴
As Covid drives a shift in dining, virtual kitchens are beginning to take over. CNBC's @katerogers dishes (pun intended) 🍽 on the new ghost kitchen business a group of former Uber execs are starting up, giving Travis Kalanick and his ghost kitchen empire a run for their money.
Grateful to be working alongside the wonderful, talented team @alldaykitchens!
And to continue building out our vision with @rabois and @andrewchen

We’re expanding All Day Kitchens to Chicago today! Excited to launch with a stellar lineup of restaurant partners. @cheesieschicago @devildawgs1 @mottstreetchi @roohchicago and many more…
Are you ready to eat, Chicago? Now delivering great neighborhood flavors across Chicagoland, with more locations and restaurant partners coming soon. That’s the All Day way. #chicagoeats #chicagofoodies #cravingsdelivered

Bill Gurley on Uber's autonomous cars: “We probably burned $2.5 billion on autonomous. That was a waste of money." He says they should have spent it on food delivery instead. newcomer.co/p/above-the-crow…
