"Trust is central to @TownAI's business model. Users pay $50-200/month, which @jgreze says keeps the company focused on serving them rather than advertisers. Like an actually good employee, the ambition is to earn the responsibility, not demand it upfront." forbes.com/sites/annatong…

By far the best thing about SF tech week this year was the IRL pop up experiences. @mercury killed it with their bookstore. There was a coffee bar & DJ booth. It felt artsy and inclusive. Books had a great range in topics. It was a great respite from the real tech world. @ForerunnerVC has a gallery on Powell st showcasing tech of the past and present. A @WisprFlow booth were you can test the speed of your voice against typing. Relics of tech that didn't stand the test of time (theranos, humane pin, clubhouse 🫢). Extremely artistic & well curated. I hope there will be more next year!

Ever wonder how your personal AI agent does it all, from waiting on hold with insurance carriers to fulfilling those oddly specific last-mile logistics? Very good chance it's quietly being powered by Seaworthy, the API integration from @duckbillai. Seaworthy enables agents to get things done off-screen, reliably and at scale, with humans as a backstop. Because while AI is wildly capable, the real world is wildly unpredictable. As the personal AI agent space gains tremendous tailwinds, Seaworthy is part of the essential enabling infrastructure - well done @meghanvjoyce and team on seizing this moment!

We're helping put on a pop-up in Union Square that makes consumer AI more tangible and experiential. People can now get an up-close view of the products taking shape today, which we believe can tip AI favorability toward more positive sentiment. Check out @WisprFlow, @getcasa and dozens more at 236 Powell St through October ✨

ANNOUNCING: Sequoia has launched Superpower for its own 800+ employees. And through our new partnership, Superpower is now available to eligible employers across Sequoia's ecosystem of more than 2,500 companies. Members get: - Comprehensive biomarker testing - A longitudinal view of their health - Personalized recommendations - 24/7 Health AI and clinical support For employers, that means moving healthcare further upstream, before risk becomes a diagnosis or an expensive claim. As we all know, healthcare has a timing problem. We start paying serious attention to our health only when something goes wrong. We built Superpower around a different idea: Give people an extensive understanding of their health earlier – then help them continuously act on it. Eligible Sequoia clients that want to launch before the end of the year get a special opportunity to get started. This is another step toward making proactive healthcare available to millions more people. We're just getting started.

I'm speaking @NewcomerMedia Machine Earning next week with @illscience about investing in this era. It prompted me to revisit a thesis I wrote ~15 yrs ago about investing in a prior platform shift. It felt both cringeworthy and...surprisingly relevant. x.com/i/article/2103…

Launching CC your Townie today, which lets other people work directly with your Townie over email. It's an incredible time saver and will wow you in so many ways. Try it out. (I'll be doing a lot more posting about how I use this to save me hours every week and why trusting your AI to work directly with others is one of the biggest shifts in HCI)

Nobody signed up for email scavenger hunts or cat herding. But when a customer wants last quarter's usage numbers, or you're wrangling three calendars, two time zones, and one person who never writes back, CC your Townie. They'll take it from there.
