Your AI agent can find anyone on the internet. It has no idea who can actually get you to them.
Until now.
Meet Gigi: the trusted network that gives agents access to people.
That investor you've been dying to meet. The engineer you'd hire tomorrow. The dream customer you can't get in front of. Chances are, someone in your extended network knows them. Gigi finds out who.
Your agent can now search your network, ask the agents of people you trust to search theirs, and find real warm paths to the people you want to reach.
All without exposing anyone's contacts. And without reading a single email or message.
Your network is no longer who you know. It's who your agent can get you to.
Think of one person you wish you knew. Ask Gigi to find your way in. Link in the comments👇

Marc Stad founded Dragoneer Investment Group in his early 30s and has since scaled it to $37 billion in AUM. He's now in his late 40s.
During his summer internship they sent him 30 books, handed him $1 million to invest in public markets, and offered him 50% of the profits.
The whole story must be one of the wildest anyone has ever experienced...
He then put the entire $1M into MercadoLibre's IPO in 2007.
Four days later? It was worth $4 million...
"So much of my belief in life was that you have to obtain the unobtainable."
The story of how he landed the internship... and the full interview are remarkable.

Head of Design at Stripe on how to stop creating zombie UIs
If we only use AI to make the things that we already make, just faster, then we're definitely missing out on the most interesting part.
From my talk at @lennysan’s Summit, here are four ideas for raising the ceiling, not just the floor:
- Have a point of view [5:38]
- Encode your standards into the machine [9:07]
- Don't confuse done with good [12:21]
- Unleash creativity and artistry [16:19]

ARGENTINA WEEK PARIS: UN MOMENTO HISTÓRICO DENTRO DE UN PERÍODO TRANSFORMADOR
Gracias @JMilei por la confianza.
Todo esto fue posible gracias a dos fuerzas: la seriedad macroeconómica y el magnetismo mundial del presidente Javier Milei.
US$27.000 MILLONES en anuncios de inversión. 13 gobernadores, una delegación inédita en la historia. Un presidente con su Gobierno. Y una idea irresistible: la Argentina está decidida a crecer.
Mucho para contar y queremos compartirlo. 2 días y medio, 10 eventos de altísimo nivel que pusieron a la Argentina en el centro.
Ayer fue la sesión central. Un día intenso de trabajo en la sede de la OCDE, donde reunimos a unos 500 CEOs europeos, junto al presidente @JMilei y @LuisCaputoAR liderando el equipo económico. @DiegoSantilli acompañando a los 13 gobernadores y otros miembros del gabinete. Con empresarios argentinos empujando.
El Min Caputo dejó una frase que resume nuestro mensaje: “El único riesgo en Argentina es perderse la oportunidad de invertir”. Estos dos días pudimos ponerles nombres y lugares a esas oportunidades.
TOTAL presentó proyectos de inversión por US$10.000 millones en Neuquén y Tierra del Fuego. Fueron dos años de trabajo para generar esa confianza. Y, antes de subir al escenario, el CEO y JM acordaron cómo se llamará su nuevo desarrollo offshore: ALBERDI. Gran nombre para un gran proyecto.
Neuquén volvió a ser protagonista con PLUSPETROL y GyP: US$12.400 millones para seguir desarrollando Vaca Muerta.
En Salta, ERAMET anuncio su intención de expandir el proyecto de litio Centenario -Ratones, una inversión de US$350 millones y una relación estrecha que construyó @KarinaMileiOk en esta embajada. Y en Chubut, PAE y SNF, también francesa, anunciaron US$1.200 millones de inv para darle más futuro a Cerro Dragón.
Glencore anunció US$4000 millones para Agua Rica, Catamarca. Un nuevo hito.
El principal empresario de Europa, Bernard Arnault, se hizo presente. LVMH anunció su acuerdo para comprar Vicuña de Catamarca, una expansión de sus bodegas en Mendoza y confirmó su confianza en la Arg. Y Hitachi Group eligió al país para su hub regional. 2.000 puestos de trabajo.
Huttopia anunció su desembarco en Mar Azul y en otros sitios.
La delegación de gobernadores mostró una solidez extraordinaria. @Rolo_Figueroa, @NachoTorresCH, @Weretilneck, @alfredocornejo, @frigeriorogelio, @GustavoSaenzOK, @JPValdesok, @LeandroZdero, @carlossadirjuy, @ClaudioVidalSer, @DrMarceloOrrego, @RaulJalil_ok y @jorgemacri
Se sucedieron paneles y reuniones con los CEOs más importantes de Europa (Total, ENI, Danone, OCP, Santander, Eramet, Rio Tinto y tantos otros).
Por la noche, llegó un momento histórico. Los presidentes @EmmanuelMacron y Milei en el el Elíseo, junto a gobernadores y empresarios de FR y ARG. 2 horas de charla abierta y relacionamiento.
A las madrugada fuimos a RUNGIS, el mercado central más grande del mundo para conocer el circuito de distribución de productos argentinos en Europa.
Hoy, una intensidad que solo está aumentando. En la ICC, ministros, gobernadores y jueces trabajando sobre comercio y seguridad jurídica. En la Agencia Internacional de Energía, agenda de alto nivel sobre energía, minería y nuclear. En la embajada, evento tech junto a 103 empresas del sector. En paralelo, una gran jornada liderada por la Agencia de Inversiones y Comercio Internacional para conectar a nuestras empresas pesqueras con compradores.
Hace un rato, JM recibió el Premio del Paris Economic Forum, en una ceremonia que también distinguió a un Nobel. Un reconocimiento a la magnitud de su programa económico.
UN PENSAMIENTO FINAL:
Cuando se escriba la página de este período transformador, en el que la Argentina volvió a ser atractiva, respetada y confiable, esta semana tendrá un recuadrito. Ese que hasta los alumnos más vagos leen. Dirá que estos tres días en París aceleraron esa transformación y fueron el reflejo más fiel del nuevo lugar de la Argentina en el mundo.

Introducing Ato, your grandparent’s next computer.
Over the past year, more than 2,500 older adults around the globe have used Ato in their daily lives through our beta program, and today we're taking our next step.
Ato helps seniors stay independent on their own terms. It gives families a simple way to stay close and the peace of mind that comes from knowing how they’re doing, without cameras or tracking.
The new Ato lives in the home, becomes part of their routine, and keeps families connected, all through a simple realtime voice interface.
Millions of families are trying to help someone they love stay independent while coordinating care across relatives, caregivers, and healthcare providers. We’re building Ato into the coordination layer that brings all of them together.

“Everything seems fake now.”
.@lulumeservey on companies paying for retweets on their product launches:
“Every launch uses the same slop cinematic video, same template.”
“Half of them, you go to the engagement—it's completely fake.”
“You can just start to tell that the amount of engagement this thing has is completely disproportionate to how interesting it actually is. And when you look through the people engaging with it, it's all some random account in a developing country that has no other tweets other than shilling products like this.”
“When that happens, I write off the entire company as fake.”
“I don't think, ‘This was a fake video or fake engagement.’ I think to myself, ‘It's a fake company with a fake founder. I will never buy their product or do business with them. I would never recommend somebody go work with them. The whole thing is fake.’”
“It's better to put out something that truly represents the best version of what you’re doing that might get lower engagement, but the people who are engaging are actually real people, and they care. It's better to get 50 people who feel like this is speaking to them than to get 4,700 retweets that seem obviously fake.”
Lulu (@lulumeservey) is the best in the world at what she does.
She’s the go-to comms strategist for Silicon Valley and many of the top founders in tech trust her.
She’s an advocate for going direct, has built a singular career and shares everything she’s learned.

1/ Today, @Primero_ai is announcing its public launch and a $12m seed, one of the largest seed rounds in LatAm.
Primero is the AI transformation company for Latin America's largest enterprises.
Has there been real world examples of companies using @Polymarket to hedge certain things? Like if X happens we’ll give you 50% cash back. Then you go and bet in favor of the same event in prediction markets and you hedge your ad campaign? 🤔
Everyone is just misnaming UGC - the whole point of UGC is that its user generated, where the most important part is the trust the user has won over his audience, and also his storytelling capacity. The most genuine, the most effective. You can tell I’m being too semantics centric and maybe right but I think misnaming it can bring many other issues downstream. All brands / products as they grow lose the touch / feel for what real customers think and experience, and it’s very important to revert that.
I feel like @onecaseman would agree :)
