i spent an hour stuck in Toronto traffic today and ended up getting my main task done just by jamming on a google doc with my dot, dottie.
mind blown by how good voice is now that it works with connected apps.
love the fake phone-call UI too (plz make it native with CallKit @embirico)

been catching up with friends building with AI and recording some of our convos. first up @imranye
he made a really good case for why Muse needs its own app. as an Instinct user, it got me thinking about the limits of a text only interface.
(Muse fomo is insane rn...we still don’t have it in Canada!!)

The world was built by hand. There’s still more to build.
my favourite thing Imran said during our fireside chat:
“Toronto founders are just really good at product. they obsess over product… something’s in the water over there.”
i didn’t have a good answer at the time. still thinking about it. there’s something special about the builders here (and our friends in SF are noticing it too)

conversations/transcripts are the best way to prompt AI
We are not recording meetings for humans anymore. Nobody reads the AI summary notes or listens back. We are capturing transcripts to feed agents.

don’t mean to add to the hype but shoutout to instinct for the bear warning!
been testing instinct. it's cool but it's basically a way more powerful poke. same ux, but not as fun to talk to.
grok bot on the other hand feels new and fresh. the whole multiple bots thing + channels like slack. it's like having a team that can replace codex/claude for a bunch of things.
still worth trying instinct if you haven't. here's a few invites

best way to explain instinct to a friend: it's a sneaker bot but for the rest of your life
easymoneysniper VC
Kevin Durant and his business partner, Rich Kleiman, invested in Hugging Face's seed & Series A fundraising rounds.
Nvidia just acquired the company for $12.9 billion, and since I'm told Durant invested $100,000 in the seed round and $150,000 in the Series A, he likely made more than $60 million on this investment alone.
That is one of the best athlete investments ever (and more money than Durant will make playing in the NBA this season).

make the internet fun again!
glad I saw this a few seconds before I connected my email to instinct. hard pass for now.
still testing it out but Poke definitely wins on privacy and security.
what a thrill!
i disconnected ai bot instinct from google at 11 AM and got a summary of my emails at 2 PM 😵
here's what happened, and what i've learned 👇
