agents are becoming systems of record if your team builds its hiring plan in claude sheets and keeps updating it there, claude is the system of record for that plan we keep hearing from customers that more of their company’s knowledge lives inside their agents, from decisions worked through in chat to workflows stored in .md files some of that knowledge never makes it back to the crm or a shared doc, which leaves a gap in any company brain that only connects to those tools agents need to be able to write back to the company brain as they work, so another agent can pick up the current plan and understand the decisions behind it you should be able to use claude’s spreadsheets and artifacts today, switch to another agent tomorrow, or run an open source model and keep the work and context you’ve built up

there were signs
The Jensen Huang episode. 0:00:00 – Is Nvidia’s biggest moat its grip on scarce supply chains? 0:16:25 – Will TPUs break Nvidia’s hold on AI compute? 0:41:06 – Why doesn’t Nvidia become a hyperscaler? 0:57:36 – Should we be selling AI chips to China? 1:35:06 – Why doesn’t Nvidia make multiple different chip architectures?

one shared memory across all the agents on your team now live @hyperspell
Replying to @hyperspell
@hyperspell now saves decisions and work from codex, cowork, and claude code, shared with your whole team. When one agent works something out, your teammates' agents can pick it up too. I made this quick video out of their homepage and this post.

hyperspell: vercel for your company brain hyperspell.com
YC said Company Brain is where they're putting money This is a great example of it - ICP - Personas - Objections - Competitors Get all info from the brands you want to sell to, fill your agent with context, and let the game start

yc’s best days are probably still ahead of it one of the craziest things about talking to yc alums is hearing how much better the program keeps getting even comparing our batch just a year ago to the current batch, the quality of products seems to have gone way up talk to founders from yc’s early days and they’ll tell you how much more selective and organized the program has become the ambition has changed too. airbnb and instacart are awesome companies that made everyday things dramatically easier but some of the companies in recent batches sound like science fiction. founders trying to cure cancer and build fusion reactors ngl i’m jealous of the current batches. part of me wishes i could do yc again in 2030 just to see what it’s like

i look back at basically everything i did 6 months ago and cringe how i ran sales, how we built product, how i fundraised, all of it i know so much more now. i’d do almost everything differently but i’ve started to see that as a good sign. it means i’m learning fast. and the only reason i have those lessons is because i actually went out and did things, even when i wasn’t very good at them 6 months from now, i’ll probably cringe at what i’m doing today and i hope that never stops the day i stop being embarrassed by my past self is the day i should start worrying about how much i’m growing

eventually humans won't be responding or sending emails at all email should just be a protocol for agent-to-agent communication, and humans on either side just trust their agents to handle it
I told my Dot to "handle everything for our new office move" and after several days of it still not finalized I realized he had been spamming everyone with every minor update and 100s of questions trying to figure out movers insurance

with all the pushback against data centers on earth, @Starcloud_ might end up being one of the most important companies for the future of ai it sounded insane when @PhilipJohnston started. now reality has caught up

if your product doesn’t have “sign in with AgentID,” it’s not ai native
Saw a startup launch today, and was curious to check their product out. Turns out they had "Sign in with AgentID" ready to go on their flow

almost like they need a company brain that aggregates the context from all of these tools
every startup uses some combination of slack, linear, granola, github, google calendar, a crm, etc agents move across these more since they interact through MCP. the lines between each of these integrations is blurring. for example, you want to associate a bug in linear with a user who reported it in your crm. or you want meeting notes in granola to end up as a set of to-dos in slack. this data shouldn't live in different products, but in a shared space where agents can move across without friction. ideally, the agent then builds triggers on its own to alert itself when important things change, and then surface stuff back to the team. imo these shouldn't live as independent workflows and saas integrations
