You've probably seen this incredible chart, which shows how solar has been beating predictions for the last 20 years. We just can't update our projections fast enough if something grows exponentially. The same will be true for AI capabilities. (Thanks to @karpathy who mentioned the parallel at an event last week)

Over the summer, @notsorrybryan I talked through some of the lesser known parts of building Clio. Things like: - We originally thought @goclio would stay small. About a year in, we realized it could be much, much bigger - We didn't immediately start with legal tech as a focus. My co-founder Rian was working in IT at Gowlings when he saw firsthand how bad legal software was at the time. We saw a huge opportunity to bring cloud to legal. - @chrija emailed us twice before we saw it. Both messages landed in spam - For years, we hauled a 100 pound trade show booth across the US and once nearly drove into a tornado - @EJWalters and I had been talking about Clio + Fastcase for more than a decade - Then I met with @lfaus in 2025. Weeks later, we announced the $1B vLex acquisition. - Full circle moment: Gowlings was one of the advisors on that deal. Bryan captured one of the fullest versions of the story I’ve read, but it still feels like the setup to what's next :)

Opus 5.5 is good in ways that surprises me every day! It's incredible how big of a jump in multimodal it is! Got Opus 5.5 to move my furniture into a house on Zillow 🏡 I gave it a video of my home and the Zillow link for a home. My prompts: 1. "Learn the furniture I have from this video, then make a 3D version of this house and furnish it with my furniture. Make it photorealistic" 2. "Now make me a walkthrough video and a 3D version I can interact with" 3. "Make a video of this entire session showing the steps you took" Watch till the end for the walkthrough of 3D scene 😅 (Disclaimer: I'm not actually buying this house, it's just a random zillow link!)

Friends, work is getting so hilarious right now! My agents run in a loop with /goal. When they need context, they DM one of my colleagues on Teams. But some of my colleagues are also using agents, so their agent replies to mine. My agent is basically asking another person’s agent for context that is not in either person’s brain. It’s somewhere in their emails, documents, meetings, or cloud storage. The other agent finds it, sends it back, and mine keeps working toward my goal. It feels obvious that agent-to-agent communication is about to become insanely fast. Most of it is just context exchange. The next step is a company brain where all the context lives, with access rights attached. Instead of messaging five people, your agent retrieves exactly what it is allowed to know and continues working. The funniest part: I was grabbing a coffee when a colleague received a Teams message “from me.” He looked at me, saw that I was obviously not typing, and immediately understood that it was my agent. We are already becoming managers of agents talking to other agents.

270M+ miles. 841 fewer injury-causing crashes. Our latest safety data shows the Waymo Driver continues to make roads safer for everyone. Compared to human drivers across 5 territories, it reduced: 📉 Injury crashes by 82% 📉 Serious injury crashes by 95% Full data:

As discussed w @bgurley two yrs ago - a personal, super assistant in every American’s pocket w perfect memory & understanding of my life - my likes & dislikes - able to work non stop & achieve almost anything is now inevitable. It is a huge gift to humanity. It will 10x all of us, give us more magic experiences & save time from drudgery to spend w family & friends. Many internet aggregators (insurance, travel, shopping) will resist but resistance is futile. AI agents aggregate the world of options on the fly - the fulcrum of value delivery has forever shifted. Model capability has unlocked this moment just as it did for coding. Adapt or die. 🤖🚀@BG2Pod

Why I’ve been struggling to create an updated version of our famous Funding Napkin for a while. ;-) More seriously - we will publish an update at some point and it will be funny, but meanwhile, check out all of the data published by @cartainc. It’s honestly a much better, bigger dataset than what we collected for our napkins.

Since I am obsessed with painting these days I got Opus 5.5 to replicate Mona Lisa. This was my prompt: "can you search for the picture of Mona Lisa, then replicate it using mouse movement and brushes in JS paint using chrome?" It took 20 minutes for the drawing part using Cowork + Claude in Chrome. After it was done I asked: "Ok now can you make a video of exactly what you just did? Showing every mouse movement and changes?" Result is the video you see! :D More details in thread 🧵

Image generation models have struggled to create native vector graphics. They mostly try to create an image and then vectorise it. Excited to see @F13hq come out of stealth with their frontier model for vector image generation. I backed @gpjanik & Ingimar because I believe there was a missing piece of the visual puzzle; vector images create better presentations, infographics, websites and overall graphics for anything you can imagine. Glad to participate with @baobab_ventures in the $5M pre-seed round alongside @CredoVentures, @gnutekm, @PointNineCap, Dawid Rylski and many more. Check it out:

Looking forward to co-hosting this event with @YTR4N_ in SF next week! In true Oktoberfest spirit, we're going to meet at a brewery to bring together founders and people who are thinking about starting a company. PS: We're calling it "German founder mixer" but we're not going to check passports at the door. All nationalities are welcome. 😉

today i am thrilled to welcome @afoxjohnston to @blockitAI as our first chief revenue officer. most executive hires start with a search. this one started with a customer… about a year ago, andrew, bremner, and patrick at second rodeo found blockit on their own, quickly became power users, and then bluntly told us why the agent fell short of its potential. i loved it. this turned into a partnership; along the way we saw what andrew is like in the trenches: hyper-competitive, uniquely product-centric, and deeply human. andrew has led sales at companies like superhuman, scale AI, and twilio -- and thus is something of an ‘AI email god’. blockit today is a scheduling agent that spreads virally on email threads and now powers some of the most demanding organizations in the world. when it came time to bring on a CRO, there wasn’t really a decision to make. welcome aboard, andrew. let's go connect the world’s time.

Once again @attio is the fastest growing CRM in the world (off a baseline that gets higher and higher). When we started many people thought CRM was too hard and urged us to build a point solution, I'm glad we didn't.
