The next generation of commerce deserves a next-generation interface. The Shopify admin has a new look, with easier navigation across key workflows and Sidekick front and center when you need a hand.

Rainmaker has raised $100M to become the world’s best lab for weather modification and atmospheric science.
Thank you @noavctech @upfrontvc @DCVC @lowercarbon @DreamVenturesVC and other visionary partners.
We are aggressively hiring and scaling our research org to create a flywheel of atmospheric data collection, synthesis, understanding, and intervention.
We will solve the weather and we will set the stage for the terraformation of Earth.

The "Shopify for agentic commerce" is @Shopify
ChatGPT Ads for @Shopify is live. We are @OpenAI's first commerce partner.
OpenAI pulls straight from Shopify Catalog, so merchants' products are already there.
Merchants set their own campaigns, their own budget. Free to install, tracked right from the Shopify admin.
Consumers are asking ChatGPT what to buy. Shopify merchants are able to decide exactly how they show up.

Introducing shadcn/lint. An agent-first linter for Tailwind design systems.
You define what’s allowed. When an agent breaks a rule, the error explains what’s wrong and how to fix it using your components, variants and theme.
There’s a lot you can do with this. Let me show you ↓

1/ The FDIC just approved @Mercury Bank, N.A.'s application for deposit insurance.
One step closer to opening Mercury Bank!. There is still work between here and opening Mercury Bank’s virtual doors, which should happen in 2027.
I started Mercury in 2017 because I wanted to build the bank I wished had existed when I was running my previous companies. Going from a fintech with bank partners to a tech company with an actual bank has been the vision from the beginning.

There should be a “slow” mode on codex that allows you to offload long-running tasks over a period of time (eg. overnight) that doesn’t eat as much usage.
GPT-6 Astra is rolling out today to a limited set of organizations and over the coming days will become available to all ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise users, as well as through the OpenAI API and AWS.
Be ready to experience Astra at its best. Get the ChatGPT desktop app.
CN is a non-negotiable install on every new project. Highly recommend.
We are open sourcing `cn`, a new engine for Tailwind class merging and conflict resolution. It is a drop-in replacement for tailwind-merge and clsx.
It works with all frameworks, runs everywhere and is 30x faster.

Sequoia partner Doug Leone reveals he got a root canal with no Novocaine to see if he was really a badass
"I had to get a root canal. And I had to go to a meeting right after that. I told the dentist, drill without any Novocaine.”
“My whole life, I wanted to see if I was a badass or not. Am I a fake badass that has this envelope nobody could tell, or am I really a badass on the inside?"
"He drilled and I jumped. And I told the dentist, I won't move again. And I didn't move again. I used the trick of thinking what it must be like to go to war and lose an arm or two legs. That's pain with consequences. Mine was pain with no consequences."
“It’s just nerve endings from there to my brain to my spine, f*ck it I’m not moving.”
"I had to go home and change my shirt because I was a puddle of sweat. But I didn't move. And so I love fear. It does wonders for me."

The bigger story is underneath the numbers: every shift AI is creating happens to play to @Shopify's strengths.
