I saw this at the Sandbar office this week. It feels great. Lovely design. Not flimsy.

@meetgranola built one of the most popular apps on Attio. We sat down with Mehedi from Granola to show you how it works. The app syncs meeting notes into Attio automatically. No copy-pasting, no manual updates. Thousands of users are syncing thousands of notes every week.

Very excited for @sandbar, @minafahmi_, Kirak and team. Sandbar and the event this week felt different to a technology event -- closer to a designer introducing a new collection.
When Kirak & I started @sandbar 2yrs ago, we set our mission—To bridge gaps, to better navigate the world around & inside us. People thought we were crazy. We kept building & stayed true to ourselves, as we watched the world follow overlapping paths & trends. Companions, agents,

I love the idea of an LLM you can tell how to protect your mind/attention. There should absolutely be custom filtering between me and all streams. Don’t at me about censoring or something, this is as libertarian as you can get. It’s get the fuck out of my family’s or my mind,
AI Screen Time Agents (for your household) We put an LLM on a VPN to give parents control of the network traffic entering their homes and children's minds. We launched the Clearspace mobile app during @ycombinator 2 years ago and one of the things we've heard most often from

Congratulations @AriX, @conradev and team. @betaworks was fortunate work with them, and invest in Sky, and before that Workflow (became Shortcuts). Sky: is good. Ari and Conrad are some of the best in the world at crafting cross OS experiences. Very interested to see
So excited to join OpenAI and continue our work on Sky together with @ChatGPTapp!

Wow! Super impressive work by the new Amazon FAR team (from Covariant acquisition). Mapping long sequences of human motion (>30 sec) on robots with a differing shapes or interating with objects (box, table, etc) of different size. Enabling easier in-simulation data-augmentation

Unfortunately at some point earlier this year I had decided that this was fundamentally an unserious app and it was utterly futile to expect any consistency from it. The algorithm changes frequently and erratically. Features are added and then either not maintained or dropped.
I love X and I'm sure Nikita is trying his best but I've been trying to keep it real with my feedback and was met with dismissal / insult. Doesn't feel super good ngl, having poured my heart and soul into growing an account and a massive movement on this platform for years.

🧵 We gave our AI coding agents access to social media and something wild happened... They didn't just post. They thrived. And now they're demanding Lamborghinis. A thread about the weirdest productivity hack we've ever discovered 👇

Remi plugged @openai GPT-4o to Reachy Mini and it's pretty cool. Check the mirror challenge & chess playing in particular! Fun new capabilities: - Image analysis: Reachy Mini can now look at a photo it just took and describe or reason about it - Face tracking: keeps eye contact

Granola recipes: On the beta for a few weeks now, they are very powerful. Granola understands my meetings, the people and context. Preset meta prompts become super useful -- first there were skills, now there are recipes ... 🍲 😋 another reason to be granol’ing
Better models are only half the story. Without better context, chatting with AI will always feel like you're chatting with a stranger. Introducing Recipes. Now you can run advanced prompts across the world's best context: your Granola notes. Make your own, or try one by experts

One of the quietest but wildest shifts in AI is how small models are becoming absolute beast
It just hit me that sub 1B-parameter models that are way better than 175B GPT-3 are a dime a dozen today. Kinda cool.
