This is going to be wild 🔥
On September 4th we launch /BLOK.SIM/01 - part party, part experiment, part glimpse into the future. 150+ AI minds dropped into a simulation: neon corridors, interrogation rooms, UV poker. Black Mirror IRL 👀 https://t.co/KQas1Z7C7O

PSA to all the builders out there: Building is easier than ever. Execution is the hard part. If you’re working on something competitive, don’t book fake sales calls pretending to be a customer. Spying won’t get you there. We’re not hard to find. Just harder to catch up to 👍

@blokintel has officially launched out of stealth 🎉 AI coding tools like Cursor and Replit are cranking out code faster than ever, helping developers ship faster. But even with all that acceleration, most teams still have to launch full beta versions or rely on simulation tools

Blok allows developers to use AI to simulate different user personas to test an app's features and learn how to make their apps better.

Fantastic job to @blokintel, led by @CharmanTom & @HiggsOlivia on their $5M seed round! @MaCVentureCap led the round with participation from angels. This will help build their AI agents to improve product experimentation & expand operations. #seedfunding #AI #startup

@blokintel @MaCVentureCap @ProtagonistXYZ Product, design, and growth teams are already using Blok to: - Predict conversion lift from design changes - Compare control vs. variant flows before launch - Simulate friction points for different personas - Ship faster with fewer costly mistakes

@blokintel @MaCVentureCap @ProtagonistXYZ We are at an inflection point. We’re entering a new era of AI-first/agentic product development, to help deliver on the promise of personalization at scale. We generate virtual users modeled off your actual product behavior.

@blokintel @MaCVentureCap @ProtagonistXYZ Smaller teams with less product usage, give up battling with sample sizes and statistical methods, so rely on gut feel and hope they’re right. In a scramble to remain relevant, many teams stretch themselves across too many use cases, user personas and workflows.

@blokintel @MaCVentureCap @ProtagonistXYZ Product decisions today involve too much manual orchestration with slow A/B tests and complex problems squeezed into static rule-based logic. Larger teams with access to higher traffic volumes rely on brute force trial-and-error on real-life users, until something sticks.

@blokintel @MaCVentureCap @ProtagonistXYZ Blok is a simulation environment for digital products. Instead of waiting weeks to A/B test with real users, teams can test changes in hours, using AI-powered simulated users that behave like the real thing. Less risk. Faster insight. Smarter product decisions.

Excited to announce @blokintel along with $7.5m in funding led by @MaCVentureCap and @ProtagonistXYZ to help product teams move faster, with fewer mistakes - and a lot less guesswork. So what have we been building, and how can you try it out 🧵👇?
