Is anyone building an email and text message interface for LLMs? This seems like an easy opportunity for a consumer app startup. Message me if you or someone you know has built this. It seems so obvious to cc your AI assistant on an email and get thoughtful answers.

AI music generation - excited to see this!.
Every instrument is doubted at first. Unrefined. Incomplete. Unwelcome. It takes great artists to harness these tools—to push creativity forward. Today, we’re launching our instrument: FUZZ-1.0 . We’re inviting you to be the first to play it.

Great to see the Marketplace Checklist being put to use!.
The Marketplace Checklist is live. If you're building or backing network-driven platforms, this is the tactical framework you need. Originally authored by @newmike (ep. 154 of the #IgnitePodcast), we break down what great looks like across:. – Supply vs. demand dynamics.–.

Huge day for OfferFit! The company announced its $325M proposed acquisition by Braze. I would post a link, but apparently the algorithm still says not to post links, so click on the replies to see more.

Really interesting data point out of this YC class that is doing demo day tomorrow: . 25% of this class of YC startups vibe coded the vast majority (estimated 95%) of their code base. This means they generated 95% of their code base with AI initially, then the team obviously had.

Really excited to be joining Burst Capital and to chat with Techcrunch about creating new jobs in the AI era. We all know massive AI displacement of jobs is coming, and we at Burst are investing in AI because we think it is the future. The optimists among us assure everyone.
