🏆 BIG announcement from summer -> 1.5K teams competed in the Perplexity Billion Dollar Build competition, and the winner is... Ticker!
Aidan & Alim at Ticker are building the AI market terminal for live event tickets. Proud to invest in this team 🎟️

In case you were wondering, it's 2026, and here at Floqer we're building workflows end-to-end using Claude Code, Perplexity Computer, and other CLIs.
As much as they want to tell you they have APIs and MCPs, none of these tools you're seeing can actually build end-to-end workflows using Claude.
UNTIL NOW ‼️
Floqer is pioneering how teams build out their GTM motions directly from their AI systems.
In this video, you get a taste of how you can integrate Floqer with Claude Code and run workflows in 5 minutes.
Stay tuned for more 👀

Special thanks to our judges, @hanstung (Managing Partner at Notable), @evantana (GP at @spc) and Francisca Gilmore-Yulee (Partner at @PerplexityFund)
And congrats to all of our finalists @AaronSiddiky, Jason Yi, @maya_l39, Sebastian Tan. What a way to cap off the NextGen program 👏
Not many launch videos are this inspiring-- feeling like the future is getting brighter thanks to @ranjan_vittal and team's formal AI verification for real-world domains. Congrats to @PramaanaLabs on the seed raise! Proud to back such a visionary team.
Today, I'm thrilled to announce Pramaana's $27M seed, led by @khoslaventures.
The foundational domains that hold the world together: tax, law, finance, healthcare; all run on certainty. Probabilistic AI can't give them that. We’ve been asked to accept wrong answers with AI as ‘hallucinations’, while in traditional software terms, it’s just a bug. And a wrong answer in such mission-critical domains is more than just a bug, it's a liability that could have catastrophic impact.
We built Pramaana to deliver a 100% trustable experience to the domains that run on certainty: AI that is provably correct, not probabilistically correct. We turn statute and regulation into machine-verifiable code, so every output ships with mathematical proof of correctness. Our mission is to make AI take ownership of it’s work.
Pramaana in Sanskrit stands for “means of valid knowledge”, and we’re going to achieve that by formalizing the world’s knowledge.

Westmag is building American robot actuators and drone motors at scale.
In 2025, @westmagco raised $11M led by @a16z, with participation from @FoundersFund, @LuxCapital, NFDG, @MenloVentures, and other top investors.
Since then, we’ve been building industrial capacity, crawling up supply chains, and securing high-volume customers.
Now, we’re ramping production at our factory in South San Francisco to deliver against committed offtake orders from high-volume customers.
Westmag is committed to scaling quickly in the US to deliver millions of drone motors and robot actuators to the surging domestic and global market.
We’re building the great American motor and actuator company.

@AnthropicAI just highlighted us in their latest research on AI-driven scientific discovery.
This is where things are heading. 🧵
Launch alert from @simdotai - Mothership
Deploy agents and watch them work in separate tabs, for Jira ticket workflows and way more 💪
Proud to back @emkara , Waleed, and the Sim team as they build out the fastest growing platform to build and orchestrate AI agents.
Proud to back @AutoScienceAI -- Eliot and team are building autonomous AI research labs for the era of machine-scale discovery 🚀
from its system medaling at a Kaggle comp to authoring/publishing a peer-reviewed paper, Autoscience is definitely one to watch.
Dario: “The biggest thing to watch is this issue of AI systems building AI systems.”
Today, Autoscience is announcing $14M in funding by General Catalyst, Perplexity Fund and Toyota Ventures to create autonomous AI research labs.
Human AI researchers can't keep up with the pace of new AI research. They’re out of time to run the experiments they want. So we’re building an autonomous AI lab that can.
The era of human-scale R&D is over. Machine-scale development has begun. 🚀

and job board (SWE + ML research scientist roles!): autoscience.ai/careers
Big morning w/ @perplexity_ai at #Ask2026 🚀
Launches dropped:
- Computer on mobile
- Computer for Enterprise (SOC 2, HIPAA, on‑prem)
