great space today guys -- i'm still getting over being sick and went into a bit of an engineering hole after our call, but today felt like we're inching closer to weekly spaces feeling like a company all hands (in a good way! like we're getting to know each other better ☺️) for those that missed it, here's the recap: 👇 ---- Headline: Building brand continues, new agent product later this week Bullets: · Continuing to invest in partnerships (neverending workstream) · Content team is finding its footing (stabilizing brand aesthetic, content pipeline) · Engineering is pushing towards an agent product launching (ideally) later this week Details: On brand foundation: If you've been a part of our spaces before, you know I'm focused on building @darkresearchai's reputation in the industry. This is going to take time and will happen in chapters (we've crossed some and will forever have more to cross on this front), so I expect to continue thinking a lot about this over the next few months. Tangibly, there's a few workstreams ongoing: (1) Partnerships: Partnerships work when they're naturally aligned to products and mutual incentives (they're like friendships -- both sides need to be interested). We're building tighter relationships as a company with industry partners we're building with, alongside, or on top of. Interesting work here includes helping @CoinbaseDev with Solana support for the x402 standard, building on top of @turnkeyhq's embedded wallet infrastructure for the new agent we're launching later this week, and building on top of @saydialect 's blockchain link (blink) infrastructure to give that agent some really sleek capabilities. There will be an endless stream of opportunity to work with the right partners, and we'll look to capitalize on those opportunities as they come up (2) Content engine: This is about empowering @darkresearchai's look and feel on the internet -- it's the experience you have with everything from the brand more generally to the products we build. For this to go well, every organization needs to tackle this space of work systematically. (a) consistent, cohesive content (b) intuitive experiences across social platforms (as we expand past X, which we inevitably will) and across products (as we ship more and eventually develop a product suite) I've got some really great folks working on this front that I'm excited about, and I expect this work to start manifesting itself in the coming weeks. On product As we continue forward with @darkresearchai's overall thesis that the next wave of progress in AI will come from empowering agents with new tools, product is what I expect we'll iterate and experiment a lot on as we test what works (and what doesn't) There was honestly a ton of discussion here on the space that's hard to recap comprehensively, but I'll focus on the #1 thing on my mind: We have a new agent product coming later this week, and I'm excited about it for two reasons: (1) I think it's a killer example of a well-built agent, powered by modular MCPs, integrated cleanly into both the solana ecosystem and familiar user interfaces that we're all used to already, and a great example of scale (2) I think you're going to love it, and even more importantly: I hope you use it My entire week is spent sprinting towards this launch (if not this week, then next week! but let's make it this week ☺️) and I'll keep you guys updated as I go
