The best AI startup isn't being built in SF right now.
Software engineering is the easiest job in the world.
@Nvidia won't be the future of AI hardware.
Solo founders are doomed to fail.
These are just some of the hot takes we got @TOtechweek's @cursor_ai event...

(04:04) Wrap Up
Divyansh (@dsllwn) is competing against @OpenAI and @AnthropicAI as a solo dev.
His only shot? Retention.
"It only takes one bad experience to hurt retention. If I didn't integrate Gmail well enough — that's such a core thing people use — my user experience would tank. Composio has around 800 tools with auth config. If I were to build all of that myself, it would take more time, introduce more bugs, and lead to worse UX."
You can't out-resource the behemoths. You can out-retain them.

Enterprises are scared to bet on one AI provider.
Divyansh Lalwani (@dsllwn) says bet on all of them.
He's a solo dev who just wrapped up the Canopy program at @fdotinc--building Overlay, an open-source workspace that aggregates every frontier model, every integration, every AI feature in one place.
His argument: the cost of not switching compounds. Every time a better model drops and you're locked in, you pay for it.
@Composio is in the stack. So is @vercel AI Gateway and @OpenRouter. One API. One source of truth.

3 Things Not to Get Wrong When Building AI Agents:
If you're building AI agents right now, Divyansh (@dsllwn) has three things you're probably getting wrong.
"One: make it open source. Two: be an aggregator — customizable and extensible. Three: do not build things natively that you can white label. Do not be arrogant and think 'I could just make that.' That is a fool's errand."
You don't win by building everything. You win by knowing what not to build.

AI can now make you a great parent.
Introducing Ollie: the world’s first AI family assistant that manages your family life better than any human.
Here’s how it works:
89 FOOT MEGA YACHT HACKATHON.
I’m looking for the top 0.01% of builders to compete in SFs most insane hackathon of the summer.
The losers will get thrown overboard.
Admission is hyper competitive, with only a total of 30 slots for some of the best builders on the planet.
Co-hosted by @composio
If this is you and you think you have a shot, shoot me a dm.
How Composio Helped This Founder Build His Product Faster.
Divyansh (@dsllwn) was a part of the Canopy program at @fdotinc building Overlay solo across 4 surfaces — web, desktop, mobile, and a Chrome extension.
One API. One source of truth. And a Composio integration that did something he never even asked it to.
"The first time I integrated Composio, they had a sandbox and workbench feature that executed code for me, I didn't even expect it to. That was my first wow moment in many, many months of going deep into software."

BuilderShip is an AI hackathon co-hosted by @nebiusai, @composio, @tavilyai, and @openclaw. Finals are on a yacht on June 14, San Francisco Bay.
To apply: post something you've built (agent, demo, or repo) and tag all four accounts.
Every builder gets GPU credits, Token Factory inference keys, Composio integrations, Tavily search, and OpenClaw runtime from day one.
Top 30 builders make the finals. Winner takes home $50K in cloud credits and a DGX Spark.
Submit by June 12 → https://t.co/OHzftpPcva
Excited to partner with @nebiusai and @tavilyai to bring the best together. Shoutout @starlink for the on-boat wifi!
Just tag @ship_builders to show us what you’ve got.
We’ve decided to gather together the best builders in the bay… on the bay. Our 89-foot yacht will bring together the 30 best applicants to have them battle it out as we sail out under the bridge for a final sunset demo.
Is this a good idea? A terrible one? Who knows. But @composio along with @nebiusai and @tavilyai is determined to find out. And the winner is taking home a DGX Spark and $50k in credits.
Apply by posting what you’ve built and tagging @ship_builders, @composio, @nebiusai, @tavilyai

We aim to always deliver the best experience possible to our customers - the new dashboard focuses on a streamlined unified experience for builders (no matter how you use us - SDK, CLI, or MCP!)
Big one for builders today...
Introducing the new @Composio Developer Platform.
Rebuilt from the ground up. Faster, cleaner, and designed around the way you actually ship.
It was so much fun cooking this up with @MalayVasa, and I am beyond excited to share it with you!
@rywalker@Saasystartup@zeroXmusashi Hi @rywalker - this issue on the white labeling form has been noted and relayed to our team. Sorry for the inconvenience and we appreciate for your patience.
We've identified a security incident that involved unauthorized access to certain internal Composio systems, impacting a limited number of customers.
We will share more as we learn more.
