I will go as far as saying that raising more at the inception stage actually *reduces* your odds of success vs. increasing them. My reasoning below👇
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." Can't find better words to describe what I just experienced!! I can't wait to use this everyday so my colleagues don't have to listen to all my emails all day 😂 honored to be the first investor 🙏
We’ve raised $1.3M from YC & Afore Capital so you never have to type or speak again.
Typing is slow. Talking into your computer is awkward. Subvocal fixes both
Our glasses give you the speed of speech without you making a sound or touching a keyboard.
It tracks your internal speech muscles with non-contact sensing and decodes silent, almost invisible mouthing into text at more than 200 words/min.
Pre-orders are now live at:

This is the most insane demo I’ve seen. Subvocal YC F26 lets you speak completely silently and reads the minute movements of your face. So you can talk to your AI anytime.
AI + sensors is magic.
What’s crazier is they built this in 4 months. This demo was live yesterday evening at the YC office.

Tasklet now has an iOS app!
Delegate work to your team of AI agents, wherever you are. Put them to work across your tools and the web, set up automations, build custom dashboards, and collab with your team. All from your phone.
Here's what you can do with the app 🧵

Gamma beats Opus 5.5.
After Claude outputs a presentation, it takes the user 40-50 additional steps to make it presentable. Unnecessary if you are on Gamma.
Gamma 5 is #1 on Design Arena, beating Opus 5.5 on general purpose slide creation.
We launched Gamma 5 because AI made it easy to create, but then everything started to look the same. We rebuilt Gamma with a new agent, new editor, and a new generation experience to give you the best visual output. These are presentations that look like you and your brand, with a creative partner to help visualize any idea you have.
Incredibly proud of what our team has built and excited to ship more.

Socialism is the belief that Amazon workers would have spontaneously created Amazon if Jeff Bezos didn't exist.

Today we're sharing a major milestone for BioStack:
We’ve raised $9.5 million from @peakxvpartners, @EmCollective, @DCVC, @AforeVC, @VerdictCap and @ycombinator among several others to build the data foundation for the next generation of healthcare AI.
🧵
Stoked for this vision and the team, thank you for having us on the journey!! Rooting for proactive agents to solve chronic suffering, not just restaurant reservations :P
I left @Apple to build healthcare that listens and acts early. Today, I'm excited to introduce UniqueHuman.
We're building proactive healthcare agents that handle every step of care for people with chronic conditions.
Our mission is to end chronic suffering. Today, we begin with migraines.

excited to share that @kyra_interface is now backed by @AforeVC
we’re building smart glasses to proactively handle your work and communications.
thanks to @nathanqyu @gjain @anamitra for believing in the team and vision.

Everyone is sick of generic AI, including us.
Gamma was the first AI presentation platform to reach real scale. But now that AI tools are everywhere, everything looks the same.
Earlier this summer, we came to an uncomfortable conclusion: without a step change in visual variety, Gamma’s output would look and feel too similar to all the other AI tools. The entire point of a presentation is to help someone "get" your idea, to see it as unique and do something with it.
We started over. Today we're shipping Gamma 5, the biggest product overhaul in our company's history.
We rebuilt Gamma to create presentations that actually look like you and your brand. Your teams can design anything they dream up, following your brand's aesthetic or something entirely new, with every frontier and image model under the hood. And the same goes for your docs, social assets, and graphics.
We revamped our agent, design tools, editing, import, export, connectors, and more.
Get your ideas out there.

Today, I’m excited to share we’ve raised an additional $12.8M at a $500M valuation.
Muse, Instinct, Grokbot, Dots, etc are great for consumers, but businesses need more if they want to delegate real responsibilities to AI.
@TaskletAI is built with collaboration, automation, security, and control at its core, and our model-agnostic harness & cloud infrastructure gives you the best value for every AI dollar you spend.
Investors in the round include @usv, @359Capital, @salil, @RakeshAgrawal, $RVI, @patrickc and others.
The environment right now feels like the opposite of 2021 in some ways. Back in 2021 it was a lot easier to fundraise than to get customer revenue. Right now it feels so much easier to get customer revenue than to fundraise at Series A and beyond. Anyone else seeing this?

We now run the largest frontier lab composed entirely of autonomous AI researchers.
Introducing Primus Society: a society of agents composed of thousands of researchers working under structured institutions designed to solve the world’s toughest problems. We believe this is how AI research should run at scale, safely and productively: an entire society of agents with institutions and purpose.
One discovery we can already share is that the society has discovered a novel result which improves model training by 30%.
Primus Society was inspired by the structures that have organized science for centuries and stress-tested against what’s known about how populations of AI agents fail.
Everything is observable. You can open the virtual city in a browser and read what any researcher is working on.
Learn more about Primus Society here:
lab.cloud/society
The biggest opening in the AI race is running the largest well-governed organization of AI researchers in the world. We’re building the institutions that let a million AI scientists safely tackle the world's toughest problems in AI and beyond. And we’re doing it right here in Canada.
