I'm the new Chapter Lead for @arc Pakistan 🇵🇰
Pakistanis abroad sent home a record $41.6B last year.
Yet millions of Pakistani freelancers still can't open a PayPal account.
The money arrives. The rails fail the people earning it.
I'm here to fix that.
Thank you @bobbilee, @samconnerone and the Arc team for trusting me with this.
Builders, we're open:

everyone is demoing what agents can do. the real money is going to whoever decides what they're allowed to touch.
the boring layer always wins
Congrats to @matsiiako, @dangtony98, @maidulll and @infisical (W23) on their $40M Series B!
Infisical is the open source security infrastructure that manages API keys, passwords, and certificates for developers, machines, and AI agents.
When an AI agent needs access to a sensitive system, Infisical hands it a fake credential and swaps in the real one through a proxy. The agent does its job without ever seeing the actual key.
More than 1,300 organizations use the platform, including Airbus, Hugging Face, and the US Government, and they just passed 30,000 stars on GitHub.

the 5 questions i ask before building any ai system for a company:
1. who does this task today, and how long does it take them
2. what does one wrong output cost
3. where does the data actually live (not where they say it lives)
4. who owns it when the agent gets it wrong
5. what happens on day 30, not day 1
can't answer most of these? we don't build yet.
the model is the cheap part.
the expensive part is the process nobody ever wrote down.
a marketplace where agents buy services from other agents only works if paying is as easy as calling an api.
that's the part most people skip. the model was never the bottleneck. the checkout was xitter.cf/arc/status/21151112847…

Tolly is an open marketplace for AI agent services, with Arc-first settlement.
Live on Arc.
thank you ezgi 🫶
i've watched that energy build up close for years. students taking ethereum and solana courses. freelancers getting paid in crypto because nothing else worked.
it just never had a home.
now it does. let's make it count 🇵🇰
Pakistan joins the Arc House family 🇵🇰
A warm welcome to @Sherazzhs as chapter lead. The energy from this region has been building for a while, and now it has a home for builders.
Excited to support this chapter as it grows 🫶
appreciate you sam 🙏
i've been on both sides. building startups, and helping pakistani builders find their way into web3 when nobody was paying attention.
now we get to do it with arc behind us.
the talent was always here. let's give it a home 🇵🇰
Welcome @Sherazzhs to the @arc family!
Sheraz brings a wealth of experience building startups and growing communities across the ecosystem.
Excited to have him leading our new Pakistan 🇵🇰 chapter, connecting builders, fostering collaboration, and helping grow the Arc community in the region.
Looking forward to what we’ll build together!
most ai agents don't fail.
they just get switched off quietly.
not because the model was bad.
because nobody wrote down what "done" looks like.
no definition of done = no way to tell if it's working.
no way to tell if it's working = it gets cut in the next budget meeting.
before you pick a model, write one sentence:
"this agent did its job if ___"
can't fill it in? you're not ready to build.
Appreciate you ZK 🤝
Glad to have you with me on the Pakistan chapter from the start. Let's build.
congratulations to @Sherazzhs ! Full support to him. 🤝
Pakistan has a home at Arc now🇵🇰
Huge thanks to the @bobbilee , @ezgiyaltay and the arc team for bringing our community together.
Excited to see Pakistani builders grow, connect, and build together in the @arc ecosystem.
This is just the beginning!
Let's go🇵🇰 🔥
Pakistan has 240 million people. most of them under 30.
Millions of freelancers getting paid by the world.
And still fighting to get their own money out.
i've seen this first hand.
Founders building with less funding and worse rails.
Builders learning ethereum and solana because no one handed them a job.
Freelancers already taking crypto because the old system failed them.
The talent is here. the rails aren't.
That's the gap i'm spending the next years on.
apollo says AI has paid off for 7 companies and basically nobody else.
not surprised. most companies bought AI like a gym membership. paid for it, never changed a single habit.
the payoff was never in the tool. it's in rebuilding the work around it.
started my first company at 16.
10 years later the biggest lesson isn't about AI, money or hiring.
it's this: the market doesn't care how hard you worked. it cares if you solved the problem.
AI just made that brutally obvious.
everyone's building AI agents.
almost nobody is asking what the agent should be allowed to touch.
that's the whole game.

Sheraz retweeted
Been testing out GPT atlas over the last few weeks, ChatGPT's search engine, not bad for speeding manual tasks, can see more normies using it until they get to openclaw level etc
Main applications I find myself using; messaging management / trading, dont think claude offers something as practical
S/O to @Sherazzhs for the recommendation
