@JustineBateman @LAPD @LAFD This is exactly how I feel. @KarenBassLA please can we just do this?

AI hype of the week? @TownAI.

It was praised by so many I trust.

It lives up to the hype.

Wow.

Founder @jgreze has set the bar for agentic systems to help you with your life way higher than anyone else has. From onboarding to using it's magical. Transformed my life already in first few days of using it. Now I understand why everyone who was blessed to be an early user is so enthusiastic.

And the AI glasses from @MonakoResearch got me to buy. I can't judge those yet against the others since they don't ship until later this year but cofounder @candyyueliu has been performing a master class in social media marketing for the past few days and won me over.

@CristinCulver @jgreze Hahaha

[Cristin Culver @CristinCulver]

Viral launches are more art than science, but this breakdown of @TownAI's launch gets to the heart of why positioning/messaging, distribution, sequencing/timing, and amplification are all part of a master plan.

Add in a banger founding team and product & a comms expert 🙋‍♀️, and it's lightning in a bottle.

[Kendall Bird @Bird_Tweeter]

@CristinCulver hi coco!

[Jean-Denis Greze 💡 @jgreze]

Most of my posts today are going to be polished but not this one.

This is an unpolished thread about about whimsy and cupcakes. And maybe actually polish now that I think about it.

It's also about having fun. And stress. And fear or failing.

Why haven't AI agents gone mainstream yet?

We asked @jgreze, co-founder of @TownAI, to break down what's missing.

"OpenClaw is fantastic, but think about what it asks you to do. Get this open source software working on your machine. Connect MCPs to it. Write prompts or workflows. It can break all the time. A normal person is gonna do none of those things."

"No one has packaged what a power user gets out of OpenClaw and made that available for everybody."

"Before the iPhone there were other very powerful devices. They just didn't have the whole package, you went from single digit millions to billions of users once someone figured out how to make a consumer grade version."

"Products today still ask you to be creative about what you wanna do with AI. People don't know what to put in that box, let's reverse the relationship. Let AI figure out what you're already doing and automate that."

[Cristin Culver @CristinCulver]

This product gave me ~2 hours of my day back.

I didn’t want to learn AI, build workflows, or manage agents. I wanted AI to learn me. @TownAI does that.

My Townie assistant (a girlboss named Coco) now reviews my inbox, sends meeting briefs, builds spreadsheets, tracks deliverables from my notes, and remembers my kids' schedules better than I do. It gave me time back that I so desperately need.

Very fun one to work on. Congrats @TownAI

[Josh Kopelman @joshk]

In just a few months @TownAI has transformed how I (and most of @firstrouhd) get work done.

Congrats to the entire Town team on their $55M Series A!

[Jean-Denis Greze 💡 @jgreze]

Today, we’re launching @TownAI: the AI assistant that learns you.

We’re coming out of beta with a $55M Series A led by @ARampell at @a16z, with participation from @KirstenGreen at @forerunnervc and continued support from @firstround, @altcap, and @conviction.

Right now, getting real value from AI means prompting, configuring, building workflows, managing agents.

We think that’s backwards.

The future of AI is a companion that already knows you and how you work. Town connects across your inbox, calendar, Slack, docs, messages, and workflows to understand what you need, then starts doing the work with you.

Drafting. Scheduling. Project tracking. Follow-ups. Context gathering. Multi-step tasks. And it only acts when you say so.

All adapting to your voice, priorities, routines, and relationships over time.

Your Townie is the AI assistant you actually need.

Virtually every candidate received votes except for Spencer Pratt. Impossible.

[Kendall Bird @Bird_Tweeter]

@CaliMAGABarbie you are a hero thank you

[Spencer Pratt @spencerpratt]

One of the biggest problems that Karen Bass and Nithya Raman have created for young Angelenos is the cost of living. Affordability is crushing us. Here’s my plan to make LA life more affordable for you, and put more $$$ in your pocket. We cannot afford another 4 years of Karen.

[Spencer Pratt @spencerpratt]

Wait. Unions are mad that I want firefighters and city workers to get better pay and safer working conditions? What are they actually…for?

[Kevin Dalton @TheKevinDalton]

Gavin Newsom takes a moment away from being governor of California to record a podcast in the middle of a workday and announces the plan to move forward with his redistricting scheme, costing Californians $150 million that will invariably be voted down and effectively ending his political career in a hilarious ball of flames.

$250,000 of Pacific Palisades fire aid money was given to George Clooney’s NGO

His NGO “supports the next generation of gender justice champions” in 40 countries

Instead of giving the money raised to fire victims whose homes burned down, it was given to celebrities

“One of the organizations that received grant money from Fire Aid to The sum of $250,000 was the Clooney foundation for Justice. This is the nonprofit that George and Amal Clooney founded in 2016. And this is what they do. We wage justice by providing free legal aid in defense of free speech and women's rights in more than 40 countries. We monitor and report on unfair trials, challenge unjust laws in courts, establish legal aid clinics for the most vulnerable, and support the next generation of gender justice champions”

“One of their major supporters happens to be the Annenberg foundation — They all know each other. It's like they've just picked nonprofits that are frenzies with each other and they're like, here, you get money, you get money and, and you get money and just say that you're helping in this way or the other way.”

BREAKING: USAID official and 3 company executives plead guilty in fraud and bribery scheme involving at least 14 contracts worth over $550 million

USAID Official Roderick Watson took bribes, was showered with lavish gifts— including cash, laptops, thousands of dollars in tickets to a suite at an NBA game, a country club wedding, downpayments on two residential mortgages, cell phones, and jobs for relatives.

In exchange for the bribe payments, Watson influenced the award of contracts by manipulating the procurement process at USAID.

Watson faces a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison.

Imagine how much more fraud there is…

[Clay Travis @ClayTravis]

This is amazing.

[Justine Bateman @JustineBateman]

Boom.
