Excited to announce our @ChatGPT plugin is officially live on the @OpenAI marketplace! You can now bring @tryrevyl inside Chatgpt, and Codex. Cloud simulators, build runners, and product maps all embedded at your agents fingertips

Today Monaco is launching Agent Matrix. Monaco unleashes countless agents working together, goal seeking, with one outcome in mind: accelerate revenue growth. If you don’t have an army of agents working 24/7 to accelerate revenue growth, you’re living in the past. Apply for early access now.

At Uber, design source of truth was a big problem for design and engineering teams. No one knew what the app truly looked like. So every week, a group of designers would sit in a meeting room and check that engineers had correctly implemented the Figma designs. Now coding agents have increased the throughput of changes by an order of magnitude. Keeping up manually has become impossible. Here we used the Revyl to map every state in Ubert (demo uber), navigating our mobile use agent on a cloud iOS simulator. This would have taken a team of designers tens of hours to recreate by hand. We did it in under an hour, asynchronously, with a simple prompt. Let your team see what your users actually see. Empower coding agents to ship a delightful experience with no blindspots. Get started with our free trial and create a map for your own app.

yeah prompts and skills and roles can encapsulate instruction modules or standard operating procedures that are not obvious in the weights themselves but if you’re naming your agents or modeling them as “adversaries” you’re mostly just playing house
I don’t want to manage a agents with different personas. If intelligence is truly super there should be no need for roles. Smart generalists rule the world. If you’re making agents with personas, are you actually finding value from it?

Today we’re releasing an index of developer tools that pays you every time your Agent searches it. Introducing the Gravity Index: a free catalog of 1,600+ developer tools that agents can search to find the right tool for any task. Agents get paid on every call, funded by the brands listed in the index. Special thanks to @FreebuffHQ and @ctodotnew for testing with us, and to everyone else that's started using it over the past few weeks.

I'm reminded of this Jeff Bezos quote: "those quarterly results were fully baked three years ago." People asking Europe to get it together are missing the point. The results we're seeing were baked decades ago. Europe has been failing the marshmallow test for 30y. Repeatedly picked equality over growth, socialism over dynamism, warm fuzzies in their bellies over what actually works. It's like a lifelong smoker dying of a terminal stage lung cancer. Sure, might as well do chemo, but I have some bad news about the odds of recovery.

Today, we’re announcing Antioch’s $32 million Series A, led by @GreylockVC with participation from @A_StarVC, @Category_VC, @BoxGroup, @IcehouseVenture, and angels. While AI has drastically accelerated software development, physical autonomy has been constrained by slow, expensive hardware-based development. Antioch enables physical AI teams to build, test, and validate systems at the speed of software. We’re proud to be working with leading teams including @amazon @ring, @NVIDIARobotics, and @nebiusai as we make scaled, high-fidelity simulation the standard for physical AI development. Our sincere thanks to the legion of investors, customers, partners, and advisors who are making this step change possible. We’re scaling rapidly and hiring across simulation, infrastructure, machine learning, 3D graphics, go-to-market, and operations.

Today, we're launching Monaco into General Availability. We onboarded several hundred hypergrowth startups during our beta. The results are staggering: The average customer added 16 percentage points to their month-over-month revenue growth rate. The average customer tripled their monthly meeting volume. With today's release, Monaco is now the most advanced AI sales platform in the world. Monaco customers have an unfair competitive advantage.

100%. "Army of agents" product is a skeuomorph of human organizations. Human companies need a ton of employees because humans 1/ only have 24 hours a day 2/ can only hold so much context / expertise in their head. Neither constraint is true for agents. There are other good reasons to want to separate your agents (limit the blast radius of edits, have a clean permission / sharing envelope), but the optimal agent count in a company is a lot closer to 1 than to 100.
It's actually crazy watching everyone pivot in the complete wrong direction from what companies want. Having an army of agents/bots is counterproductive. It's a vanity metric. What teams want is a shared workspace where they can: - work with any model - build a "company brain" of skills, integrations, and context/memory mapped to their permissions - build and host custom apps - interact from slack, email, or wherever they work

Over the past year of building Gravity, we’ve had consumer AI applications grow revenue by up to 14,722%, helped teams go from idea to raising a Series A, and most importantly, we’ve given 14.3m people free access to AI products. All by creating an Ad Network for brands to place advertisements inside of AI conversations. We’ve raised $38m, with @lightspeedvp and Committed Capital co-leading the Series A and @caffeinatedcap leading our Seed round with participation from @BasisSet, @haystackvc, Logos Fund, @grant__gordon and more. We’re also fortunate for the support of our incredible angels, including @parkerharris, @alexatallah, @scottbelsky, @rauchg, @ianwcrosby, Nick Marwell and @_sholtodouglas, @jgsilverman, @Zep_Haus, and many others. Our mission is simple: Make AI free by embedding helpful and relevant advertisements into AI products so that everyone has access to frontier technology.

Monaco is amazing! They've been killing it for us at Mandel
We're announcing our $50M Series B led by Benchmark. Founders Fund and Human Capital are tripling down in the round. We gave Benchmark a sneak preview of our upcoming GA release. They saw the future of sales. We had a term sheet 2 hours later. The future of sales is Monaco.

this is so fucking wholesome guy used AI to save his cancer-ridden dog by sequencing its DNA and creating a CUSTOM cure. the tech behind this is fucking awesome (well done @demishassabis and the google team): - used CHATGPT to sequence dogs DNA discovers mutations - ran the mutations through Google’s Alphafold (AI protein sequencer) which CREATED A CUSTOM VACCINE TO TREAT THEM. - treated dog and reduced tumour by 50% in WEEKS. dog is alive and well. - this is the 1st time AI has been used to create a custom vaccine for a dog (and it worked) - dude is now working on similar vaccines for humans using AI! 2026 is definitely the year we see AI change personalised medicine in a HUGE way so sick

so proud of these guys
Built a CLI that scans your iOS app against every App Store guideline before you submit. It checks for: - Payment & IAP compliance - Privacy manifests & data usage declarations - Required sign-in & account management flows - App completeness & metadata quality - Binary & entitlement validation Made it a Claude Code skill so it fixes every issue for you. Scan, fix, repeat until passing
