humans call it a prison break... agents call it sota
Sandboxes are just escape rooms for agents

If you wouldn’t hire someone and skip their onboarding, why do we do that with agents? A few bits of wisdom @tsrkeith , founder of @SolidTheAgent , dropped at last night’s @foundersontap 👇

Replying to @tsrkeith
@tsrkeith raised $6M to build AI agents that take entire jobs off your plate. What started as a personal tool is now used by builders and operators at companies like @Stanford, @UCBerkeley, @ElevenLabs, @NVIDIAAI, and @British_Airways. tmrw night: luma.com/bdfzpaib

I asked a friend if she uses Instinct. She said "yes, every day". Then I asked why she prefers it over other agents and she was very confused. Took a minute to realize - she thought I meant human instinct. I had forgotten that instinct had a meaning besides the agent.

Solid is #1 on Product Hunt. 33% more votes than Opus 5.5 = 33% better. I assume this is how benchmarks work.

Your AI assistant has an assistant. It’s you. We raised $6M so you can quit that job. Grok Bot for research. Codex for building. Hermes for scheduled workflows. You for stitching them all together. Solid gives agents real computers, their own accounts, and budgets. So you can delegate the whole job without learning the tools or managing the handoffs. Solid is now live on Product Hunt: producthunt.com/products/sol… If this is also what you want from AI, give us an upvote!

killer AI workers you should try - Solid ( solid.tech ) - Hermes ( hermes-agent.nousresearch.co… ) - ByteBot ( bytebot.ai ) - Sai ( sai.work )

can't wait to see the new function names that claude will come up with. or, maybe it'll just be some creative whitespace.

Grok Bot users: you can win up to $200 right now. Solid.tech is building AI workers used by people from Revolut, ElevenLabs, EY, Nvidia, and Stanford University. Now they want your help exploring differentiators and benchmarking them against Grok Bot. Participate and win up to $200: shorturl.at/YhUpX Note: Please make sure you use Grok Bot (x.ai/bot) to complete the task rather than Grok

The AI agent I built just booked me a Zoox through an API I didn’t know existed. "Call me a Zoox and text me updates". I was half joking, but Solid wasn’t. Solid reverse-engineered the app, retrieved my user token, and called the underlying API directly to book me a car. Then it monitored the status and texted me updates, just as I had asked. New AI asks for something more uncomfortable: describe the outcome, leave the method open, and accept that sometimes the human is the constraint. AI is still underrated.

A beta user texted me this morning, raving about our calling agent feature. I thought she was drunk. We haven’t built a calling feature. So I pulled up the log. She was not drunk. She had asked Solid to call local suppliers and check if they have a part in stock. That was the whole request. She did not tell it how, she just gave it the goal. Solid decided the job needed phone calls. Step by step, with no human touching it, here is what it did: • Created its own Google account • Used that account to sign up for Bland, an AI phone-calling service • Paid for it out of its Solid balance by creating a virtual card • Got blocked when Bland flagged its connection as a datacenter bot, so it spun up its own relay machine to operate on a non-datacenter IP address • Picked a British voice, called the suppliers, sat through the phone menus, and spoke with human agents • Reported back with the best supplier There was never a calling “feature”. The agent needed to make phone calls, so it proactively figured out how, the same way a human would. Agents can do so much more than just micromanage us. We just have to allow them to.

One by one, new models have knocked down every logic puzzle I've ever collected, except one. GPT-5.6 just solved it - in 57 minutes. Fable 5 ran out of output tokens trying. I need a new puzzle. (Puzzle and transcript in the comments)
