- Self Improving Companies A customer buying a car doesn’t care which team handles sales, financing or support. They want a great experience with someone who knows them personally and has the full picture. I’ve seen customer lifetime value increase when one agent owns that relationship. Let agents learn from the work, test improvements and share what works, and the company gets better as it operates. Selling this to an incumbent means asking people to change their systems and often their own jobs. A founder starting today can build around the customer from day one. At the speed AI is moving, it may be better to build the AI native bank, insurer or marketplace yourself. If you’re building this, let’s talk. cc @a16z @speedrun421126638.6K
- Gabriel VasquezRT @mradamjafer: At Pit we believe software and agents will run most internal operations at companies in the years to come, and those who do this transformation will be much more competitive than those who don't. Agents will obsess over your KPIs and their sub-drivers in the business, be proactive, chase things down and close the loop on value creation work. To do this though, you need to know where in the organisation to look and discover the value creation opportunities within an organisation. Traditionally a company may have bought in one of the large consulting houses to do that work and deliver a report, leaving you to implement it yourself. Today, agents can do that at a far greater scale, and at a fraction of the cost. We built Pit for this world, our Pit Studio takes an organisational question or challenge, and goes out and finds the answer, the KPIs, the bottlenecks, proactively asks the relevant people in the organisation and builds an opinionated view of the value creation opportunity. This becomes the foundation on which Pit can build the software and a long-reasoning agent to proactively work on improving your business until a goal or KPI is reached. We are onboarding select customers into Pit Studio, reach out if you would like to preview these capabilities.02029

- Gabriel VasquezRT @santiago__rdz: Most of the discourse over the last month has been zero-sum thinking of "what companies will get impacted the most". As @aleximm and I share below, "there is an optimistic possibility: less human browsing could mean more buying." Creative disruption moves us forward.Alex Immerman @aleximm02031

Some data we recently assembled on entrepreneurship/compute in Europe: We hope that one of the useful roles that Stripe can play is in collecting and publishing empirical data pertaining to entrepreneurship and industry in Europe. There's growing appetite to get Europe on a better footing, and cross-sectional comparisons can often shine light on where opportunities lie.

But now Anish Acharya (@illscience) has also come out in support for European Tech: “The opportunity for Europe is to embrace what's unique about Europe, and it feels like that's what this generation of really good European [companies] are doing" "they're unapologetically European and going after markets and opportunities where they have a right to win,” @a16z recently invested alongside @sarahdrinkwater, @MattEvantic and others in Ethos (@DJ_Mankowitz). The firm has also invested in Mistral and Revolut. NICE. Full piece in @Siftedeu below.07028

- Gabriel VasquezRT @wojkuli: Introducing Boski, the personal agent that understands your goals and works 24/7 to get things done for you. Compared to other agents, we are building Boski to be maximally proactive, focused on getting to know you and achieving your goals. You don’t have to connect your calendar, email, or give Boski any of your personal data. Just like your best friend doesn’t need to see your inbox, Boski executes on your goals without it. When you start using Boski, it will attempt to move you a step forward with your most ambitious goals every day. It will literally find you a girlfriend. We’ve been working together with @glica_lukasz @radek_baczynski @futurammi @wiktorklu for 3 months. We first launched Boski 2 months ago and we’ve been in private beta since then. Now, Boski is open to everyone. Boski in the future will be 100% free, but for now we are launching with an experimental pricing of $5/week. This will help us protect against spammers and onboard high quality people first as we scale compute Please check it out! We are running user interviews with every single new user right now047035
