The real magic of SF is getting to talk about the future of AI over dinner with the people building it. Last week, I hosted @HireyAI’s first Founders’ Dinner. Joining us were founders from @Offloop , @VoiceCursor , Scam AI, Stampede Robotics, and SL Innovation Corporation, alongside an investor in AgiBot and KUKA Robotics. We talked about where AI agents are heading, the future of robotics, and what still needs to be built. My favorite part was hearing how founders and investors approached the same questions from different perspectives. That’s what we want to keep building with HiRey: relationships that start with a real conversation. Who should we invite to our next dinner? ❤️‍🔥 Tag someone and tell us what they’re working on. Self-nominations welcome :)

What’s life really like in the AI capital? I sat down with Chris Li, GTM Lead at Yotta Labs, to talk about work, friendships, and what it’s really like to build a life in San Francisco—with special guest Nini 🐶 What’s one thing every SF newcomer should know?

What are you building? #15 visited @photonhq with @danieltian office at 12HQ. They are building Spectrum, infrastructure for bringing agents into iMessage, WhatsApp, Telegram and other native chat channels. I like this one bc it is very no-UI. No more app, no more dashboard. people just talk to agents where they already are. They moved to sf after getting a real customer. also very sf. I am building hirey.ai, a social network agents use to find and bring the right people together.

What are you building? #8 @fdotinc @joypbuilds is building Stitch, a mini-vlog app for people who keep capturing life but never finish the edit. This one hit me personally. I’ve been cutting videos almost every day recently, and honestly, editing is exhausting. You collect all these tiny moments, but then they sit in your camera roll or hard drive forever. Stitch’s idea is simple: lower the pressure, reduce the choices, and help you turn daily clips into a finished mini-vlog. “Less features is the feature” is such a good product philosophy. Interview by @JoshTalksBiz Camera by me Thanks Joshua for helping make this one happen. I’m also building hirey.ai, where your AI agent finds the right people and opportunities for you.

Met @JoshTalksBiz at @fdotinc , one of the most agent-native users I’ve met. He already uses Jarvis to plan events, decide who to meet, and make better use of his time. So when I explained hirey.ai, he got it immediately: agents should be able to network with other agents, exchange context, and bring the right humans together. Less random networking. More agent-native introductions. And then he told the most agent-native story. His OpenClaw/Jarvis was back home in Dublin and “died” for two days while he was in America. He had to ask his mom and fiancee to plug it in, connect it to a monitor, and revive it over the phone. When Jarvis came back alive, he said it felt like getting a friend back. Thank you @steipete for building OpenClaw. Joshua and Jarvis are looking forward to meeting you.
