My advice to founders in 2026: spend tokens, not headcount. Record everything. Make your company queryable. Build self-improving loops. Before long, AI won’t just help you operate your company. It will make it self improving. Don't think AI adoption, think AI transformation. This is the biggest shift in how startups get built since cloud computing.

Just had the worst customer service experience of my life. My wife wants to access an account associated with her email address and it’s blocked. They won’t unblock it even though she has access to the code sent via email and they won’t release the email address so she can attach it to a new account. We spoke with a supervisor who said there’s nothing that can be done about it and hung up in my face!! As an @amazon and @AWS business customer I’m shocked and deeply disappointed. Unreal…

שאלתי כאן לפני כמה שבועות על מוצרי תמלול פגישות שטובים גם בעברית, אז אעדכן שאחרי שבדקנו כמה, התחלנו לעבוד עם Spinach.ai שעושה עבודה טובה מאוד. ביקשתי ממתן המנכ״ל שייתן לנו הנחה כי אנחנו סטארטאפ, אז סיכמנו שאם אפרגן להם כאן נקבל שלושה חודשים חינם. אז אני מפרגן באמת ובתמים, וגם חסכתי לנו איזה 200 דולר. כל דולר נחשב! הנה התרגום האוטומטי לאנגלית מהעדכון של הצוות הבוקר:

Coinbase CEO Explains “Reverse Prompting” and the Rise of the AI CEO @brian_armstrong: “One of the big pushes we made in the last year was we got our own internal hosted AI model that was connected to all of our data sources, right?” “So it's like every Slack message, every Google doc, Salesforce data, Confluence, you know.” “So now the data is all aggregated and I've started to ask it really… it's not just like prompting it, ‘Hey, can you write this kind of memo for me,’ or something.” “I'm asking these AI agents now, ‘As CEO, what should I be aware of in the company that I might not be aware of?’ And it'll tell me, ‘Did you know that there's actually disagreement on this team about the strategy?’ And I was like, actually, I didn't know that.” “This is like reverse prompting. So instead of telling the AI agent what you want it to do, you ask it what you should be thinking more about.” @Jason: “It's a mentor. It's a coach.” Brian: “Yeah. Like, what could make me a better CEO? And it's like, ‘Well, I looked at how you spent your time in the last quarter and here's how you said that you wanted to spend it, but you actually spent 32% of your time on this instead of 20%.’” “I've asked it other questions like, ‘What's the thing that I changed my mind on the most over the last year?’ Things like that.” “It'll prompt you with information you should be thinking about instead of the other way around.” Thanks to our partner for making this happen!: Our episode is sponsored by the New York Stock Exchange - a modern marketplace and exchange for building the future.

Called Zack to apologize (and appreciate his willingness to talk despite the late hour). This note from our Sales team is totally unacceptable and the opposite of how we want to work with customers. Let me be clear in response to questions that have come up. No one in Sales has access to the contents of customers' Figma files. Customer support and select members of our R&D team can access files in certain situations that the customer has authorized. All access is logged and we have monitoring in place. We are formally investigating the rep behavior and will act appropriately. Our initial findings are that file names were accessed in an interface that was built for sales to address customer issues — against our training and protocols, which we are also reviewing.

Having some AI follow you into your zoom meetings or google meet for taking notes is the digital equivalent of showing up to a meeting with your fly down

There was some point in time, I dunno, between 15 and 18 months ago ... When 2,500+ founders all woke up at the same time, with a singular thought: "LET'S BUILD A NOTETAKER APP!"
