Yes
You’re living in a bubble. You need to understand that a whole world lives beyond the constraints you have manufactured or imagined.
For example the codex harness provides very little in terms of actual functionality - the same goes for most coding harnesses. They will be generally superseded by more capable specialized harnesses. Even if you scoped codex to only a coding-focused harness - which it really isn’t - it is lacking compared to purpose built coding harnesses that compete with it.
Right now labs have the advantage and can somewhat dictate terms but you should not believe that will be true forever. There’s seemingly a belief that we should be thankful for the (limited) capabilities we’ve been given- that we should allow a few companies in the world to dictate what we can and can’t do with technology. That’s never worked before and nothing makes this tech any more defensible.
In five years we will almost certainly be consuming local models for a majority of daily tasks, and for the things that can’t be done locally it’s going to be entirely commoditized. Once that’s true it means vendors will have to start competing by giving up more to the customer rather than the increasing restrictions being done today.
This team is super impressive
We're building self-improving agents to automate tedious, repetitive operational work @GrepdotAI. At IG, a UK online brokerage, Grep agents review compliance alerts, helping over 80% of traders onboard without manual intervention. IG is now a FTSE 100 company.
Operational work often means following a specific procedure, gathering information from different sources, checking it against what's needed, and deciding what to do next.
The steps are repetitive, but no job is the same, making the work tedious to do by hand and hard to automate with workflows alone. Meanwhile, using frontier agents to reason through every task is often too expensive to scale.
Grep.Al gives you an agent workforce that:
-> Takes minutes to create and are domain experts with the right skills and tools from day one.
-> Learn from every run, moving repeatable steps into code and workflows and saving frontier intelligence for exceptions and unfamiliar cases.
-> Get smarter and cheaper as they scale using our AgentRun harness.
-> Runs on our managed agent platform with secure sandboxes, audit logs, evals, cost controls, team sharing, and access controls included.
Grep AI agents are available on demand and can run on schedules or in batch. Access them via the console, MCP, API, or SDKs that integrate into your existing workflows.
Our customers, including IG, Airwallex, Worldpay, FV Bank, and Citizens Bank, have saved more than 250,000 hours of operational work with Grep Al agents across onboarding, doc verification, compliance, underwriting, operations, HR, GT ops, market research, and business intelligence.
If operational bottlenecks are slowing your business down, create an agent workforce with Grep to automate them in minutes.
P.S. We're in the @ycombinator Fall 2026 batch!
The trillion $ consumer opportunity is not a “personal assistant for everyone”
It is telling you what to buy and placing orders for you.
Put another way: it’s ads.
I’m using several agents:
- Instinct for shopping/rezzies/travel
- Muse for instagram research or finding local businesses
- Grok bot for anything X related, running Crons
- CC and Codex for normal work
- Slashy for email
I don’t see this being winner takes all.
MCP is the next big growth channel
PS: can you guess what happened late september
Moda MCP is now an official connector in the Claude directory.
Great to partner with @claudeai on this (more exciting news coming soon 👀)
Moda is a design canvas for Claude to create tasteful, on-brand and fully editable slides & graphics.
Does anyone actually believe this?
LLMs feel like the obvious tech tree for building immersive, interactive experiences at this point.
Just look at the stuff Opus and Astra can make in Blender… and remember, this is the worst they’ll ever be.
MCPs should be open! Not sure what Figma gains by restricting MCP use.
MCP has been one of @trymoda's biggest growth channels. A lot of the installs come from @claudeai's app store, but we are seeing a growing % of share from all clients.
i can't imagine a better brand ambassador if you want to win over the indian market...
I’m excited to announce my partnership with OpenAI. We have some interesting things coming up, and I can’t wait to share them with you.
I’ve always been curious... One question usually leads to another, and ChatGPT has certainly encouraged that habit. But it has also proved useful when I’ve needed to get things done, like planning my last trip with the family.
That’s what I’m looking forward to with this partnership. Discovering what else I can do with ChatGPT, sharing what I find useful, and encouraging more people to give it a try with something they care about.
A question, an idea, something you’ve always wanted to explore. There are so many places to start.
Looking forward to exploring together.
#Partnership
