It's been crazy to see how across almost every industry - insurance, finance, architecture, healthcare, legal, even tech sometimes - everyone's been forced onto Copilot. And almost universally, people hate it. 🧵

The downstream effect is the part that gets me. A lot of people's mental model of AI is based on their Copilot experience. Which means they're working with a picture of what's possible that's 6+ months out of date. In AI time, that's a completely different world.

The biggest cost isn't bad UX. It's an entire wave of professionals underestimating what AI can actually do right now - because the first thing they touched left them unimpressed.

One of the reasons @Lightspeedvp was excited to partner with @NirvanaTechInc as their first investor was that the team had a clear view of what wasn’t working in commercial insurance. Instead of pricing risk off assumptions and averages, Co-Founders @RushilGoel, Alex Carges, and the team built around real driving behavior. Today, their AI models are trained on 30B+ miles of data, enabling faster underwriting, significantly better loss ratios, and lower cost to safety-aligned customers In a trillion-dollar industry slowed by manual processes and incomplete information, that shift really matters. Huge congrats to the Nirvana team on the $100 Series D. Excited for the future of AI-native insurance with Nirvana :)

I think format (Paper vs Docs vs PPT) matters less than making sure thoughts are written clearly and self-sufficient. If pre-reads are hard to achieve if people are running around, maybe just keep 10 mins at the start of each meeting?

What would help make this more common? Success stories or challenges people have seen with this?
Beyond just forcing presenters to bring more clarity to their thinking, IMO leads to better decisions from execs / decision makers so they get full context, have time to think through and are not reacting.

How many folks actually use pre-reads, or start meetings with silent reading?
