We JUST brought on our 3rd engineer.
I'm so proud of what our technical team has been able to accomplish, going band for band against $9 figures in Venture funding.
Team is lean and cracked, and we're building for scale ⚡️
Having been on the other side before at a startup that raised $100m+ from VCs, there are pros and cons.
Biggest Pro I’ve noticed is that being pre vc funding forces you to think with much more leverage, as every bet you make is critical. There needs to be asymmetric potential behind every move. Compound that way of thinking over a long enough time horizon and you’re bound to have some outsized hits. Result is you making better overall decisions than if you had unlimited $$$ to blow. When it’s also yours and angels capital you feel it lol
It’s kind of like Elon’s famous quote where he talks about collapsing time. Give your team 12 months to do it and they’ll take 12. Give them 4 weeks and theylll take 4 weeks. Youre just forced to think different 🤙
We rebranded our company socials from @getboai to @boassistant.
A seemingly small change, but reflective of the mission we are on.
Everyday consumers don't care about how the cake is baked, they care about how it tastes.
I want to build one of the top AI companies to ever come out of Miami with @getboai.
Right up there with @OpenEvidence, @opencode, and @cast_ai.
If you’re an engineer based in Miami who wants to put the 305 on the map in a big way I want to meet you.
Consumer AI is about to become much bigger than chatbots.
@BrandonTurp is building @getBoAI around a simple idea:
AI should handle the things people don’t want to handle themselves…
And give people their time back.
Founder & CEO @BoBrainerd sat down with Brandon to discuss:
— Why consumer AI matters more than AI for AI people
— What separates an agent from a chatbot with tools
— Why autonomy changes the consumer software stack
— What humans should get back as AI becomes more capable
— Why AI isn’t truly autonomous if it can’t operate in the real world
The consumer AI stack is being rebuilt.
@OpheliaAPI gives consumer AI companies the infrastructure to make it happen.
One unlock across booking, purchasing, appointments, payments, identity, and the fragmented systems powering everyday life.
This is what happens when consumer software can finally operate in the real-world.
Autonomous AI starts here.

What separates Bo @getboai from the other iMessage assistants?
We’re mission driven.
Our team is obsessed with leveraging AI to make life easier for everyday people.
This means providing access to life altering resources that were previously only available to families who could afford $60,000/yr personal assistants.
Things my mom could’ve benefitted from immensely while raising me on her own.
I’ve lived the struggle first hand.
Saved time, added convenience, organization, quicker information, and better health are life altering resources.
My mom would’ve loved to have been able to text Bo from the bus and order us dinner on days where she was getting home at 8pm when little B was hungry and waiting.
We will not stray away from our mission as many others in the space have.
We’re not launching gambling, dating, or anything else X rated.
And to all the new startups pivoting in, welcome.
Just know that you’re up against a team whose souls are lit up by purpose.
We are not here to fuck around, respectfully.
