FULL INTERVIEW: Poetic Founder & CEO @markiewagner joins TBPN to discuss the company's $50M Series A, the "10,000 secret rules" that run businesses, and more.
2:23 - The 10,000 secret rules inside employees' heads
3:03 - Why AI needs to be at least 99.99% accurate
4:20 - Why Poetic started working with giant companies instead of smaller companies
5:27 - How Poetic extracts unwritten knowledge from experts
7:50 - Markie on the future of forward deployed engineers
9:47 - Why most enterprise AI deployments fail
12:06 - Markie's Stanford dropout origin story
Introducing @PoeticHQ: a new AI system that executes complex multi-hour tasks with 99%+ accuracy and 10x fewer tokens than agents.
We raised $50M at $500M from Kleiner Perkins, Founders Fund, First Harmonic, and Genius Ventures to build AI that does complex work inside Fortune 500 companies without hallucination.
While code is too brittle, agents are too unpredictable. The work that runs the global economy - anti-money laundering, fraud investigations, underwriting - needs extreme accuracy.
So we built a new kind of software that pairs the flexibility of AI with the predictability of code.
When the world stays the same, Poetic runs fixed code: fast, cheap, identical every time. When the world changes, Poetic uses AI to regenerate its approach and find its way back to the objective.
In one year, we went from zero to an eight-figure run rate as a team of four.
Since then, we’ve scaled the team and executed the highest-stakes processes at AIG, SoFi, and Chime. At SoFi, a large US bank, Poetic reached 99%+ quality on fraud investigations in five weeks.

The fix is:
To make all people smarter
To make all people richer
To make all people healthier
The fix is not:
To make everyone equally dumb
To make everyone equally poor
To make everyone equally unwell

Any GPT language learning apps out there to learn french?
Seems like we could:
1. convert speech to text (french) using whisper
2. send text to GPT4
3. read out response in the browser
I'd prefer a "real" conversation with an infinitely patient "person" who won't judge me

Hey @remix_run fans! When you have an action that is hit by many different pages, do you either:
a) make it a standalone route
b) post to the current route and then have a common shared service
@naoj_gior
A pal from high school had an app idea that needed all the Australian Race Horse results from the past month.
Built a scraper and a UI so you can follow certain horses.

It's happening! HT @LTF_01
A global loading indicator at the top of the page solves many problems:
1. Don’t need loading states on buttons anymore
2. Same UI pattern for “page loading” and “form submission”
3. Write it once, and it works on every page going forward
