Attio x @PointNineCap Builders Café is coming to London. An entire day for technical founders and builders to work on their own projects, swap ideas, and go deep on AI.
November 8, London HQ.
Register now: attio.xyz/builders
Can’t miss!!
After our latest Berlin iteration, we’re taking the Builders Café to London together with our friends @attio .
On Sunday, Nov 8, we're opening up Attio's London office to a small group of engineers, founders and product people. Drop in with a side project, a lukewarm take, or just curiosity, and stay as long as you like. Desks, monitors, coffee and pizza are on us 🍕 ☕️

Today, a16z Crypto is becoming a16z Frontier.
Since joining a16z in 2013, @cdixon has focused on technologies that look futuristic well before they reach the mainstream. Those themes led to investments in Oculus, Skydio, Zipline, Coinbase, Solana, and Uniswap.
Frontier expands that mandate beyond crypto to back "outer planet" founders who are building new technologies and creating markets that may take years to develop.
Chris joins @pmarca, @bhorowitz, and @eriktorenberg to discuss why crypto has become part of the broader tech landscape, why Frontier fills a hole in the firm's architecture, and why they'd rather be too early than too late.
They also get into why the gap between AI-native startups and incumbents is the widest Marc has ever seen, how AI could pull forward 20 years of frontier technology, why stablecoins may become the way AI agents pay each other, how AI is breaking the internet's business model, and why today's 18-year-olds are about to become superhumans.

Complex long-horizon manipulation work by @SereactAI
Really awesome to see them scale up their in-production work at Zalando
🤖
When we started @SereactAI , people told us returns were impossible to automate.
This is Cortex handling @Zalando
returns at a @cevalogistics fulfillment center. It’s live and in production, every shift.
Proud of the team that made this real.
LFG🚀
Very proud to say @attio is in the top 25 fastest-growing software companies in the world (and the No. 1 fastest growing CRM!). Truly surreal. What a journey!

Attio is a CRM. The news: agents can now hit its full data via normal SQL queries (joins, aggs, whatever), treating it like a database.
But every query still runs through Attio’s app layer—permissions, validation, policies, compliance stay enforced. Agents get flexible access without raw DB free-for-all or brittle APIs.
That’s the practical bit. Agents scale across your customer data while the guardrails stay on.

what hybrid architecture means in practice:
- scale: store 100s of millions of records
- context: every email, call, person, company and deal synced + indexed
- governance: permissions built into every feature
- interoperability: agents can reason and query via sql, mcp or APIs
In the age of agents, systems of record have never mattered more. They’ve also never been less prepared for what’s coming.
Today, we’re announcing @attio's hybrid architecture, with the controls of application software at the scale of infrastructure.
To agents, Attio looks like a database, queryable in SQL - a language they're RL’d on. Unlike a database, the business logic, policies, and compliance sit behind the query.
This makes all of Attio’s data accessible by agents in the most powerful and flexible syntax. It gives GTM teams an order of magnitude more value from their time, with the full power of agents working across the entire customer lifecycle.
A new shape of software is here.

A new type of user requires a new type of architecture.
Legacy software wasn't built for agents and now they're breaking it. Today, we're launching the next generation of our platform powered by a hybrid architecture. Building this has been the most ambitious and challenging engineering challenge of my career.
Attio now supports SQL - offering a PostgreSQL compatible connector and syntax that allows our customers and their agents to query all of their data like a database. It's transactionally consistent, horizontally scalable and allows agents to access the full context they require using a language and syntax that they're well trained on using.
Whether you're accessing your data through our UI, our API, our MCP server or now our SQL Data Connectors: your team and your agents get the full context, every time.

Software for the new era needs to enable humans and agents at the frontier
At attio we’ve built the infrastructure to enable this

welcome to the 9th annual @stateofai report!
ai building better ai, world models, physical ai, geopolitics, cyber defense and 12-month predictions.
read it at stateof(dot)ai or watch my editor’s cut here.
a few of this year’s biggest findings follow:
Cheap robotics built for AI is the only way to reach deployment scale
Industrial robotics built for 1 micron level precision are overbuilds when AI controls the trajectory
Drone style revolution for robots
