formerly CTO @stripe. 🏡 in SF via London and Belfast, married to @fjsingleton.

I like to make things.

Jobs called computers "bicycles for the mind" -- tools we could shape to our will.

But they never were. Until now.

Every morning an agent preps me for my day -- calendar, news, last 24hrs of Slack -- in a personal podcast. I made it by asking. Same for hundreds of other things.

Launching @dreamer in beta today.

That 🧠 bicycle, finally.

Introducing Dreamer.

A place to discover, build, and enjoy agentic apps.
It’s your home for personal intelligence.

Now in beta. Sign up👇

Paul once showed me a photo of the world crowding around TVs to watch Apollo 11 launch. Gave me chills.
Growing up, everyone talked about last Friday's "Friends". Everyone. That shared experience is rare now - and we miss it more than we realize.
That's what @paulscherer is building with @eigenhq. Not an AI friend. The world's mutual friend.
Proud to support Paul and team and be a little part of this one!

[paul @paulscherer]

I’m honored to share that @eigenhq has raised $15M from @Benchmark to build a mutual friend that’ll help us belong and grow, together.

Vernor Vinge is actually one of the more self-aware writers about this - A Deepness in the Sky has a great concept of "programmer archaeologists" who maintain vast accretions of legacy code because nobody really understands it anymore, which is maybe a more honest projection. But even Vinge mostly imagines that writing new code remains a manual human activity.

Predicting the future is hard

These days when I read a sci-fi book set in the 24th century or whatever, especially one that anticipates artificial intelligences, and one of the characters starts coding a new inertial guidance program or scientific research thing by writing it line by line it makes the whole thing fall a bit flat.

Star Trek: The Next Generation is probably the most egregious serial offender. The Federation has Data, a synthetic being of almost incomprehensible computational power, and yet in episode after episode, Geordi sits down and writes a new subroutine. The 24th century has warp drives and replicators but apparently still has Jira tickets.

Excited to announce that @hbarra , @alcor and I are joining Meta Superintelligence Labs with the entire @Dreamer team today.

The last few months have been extraordinary: we built Dreamer, put the beta in the world just a month ago, and saw magic come to life for real people. Since then, thousands of people have used Dreamer to build personal, intelligent software with our Sidekick in the world’s newest and most popular programming language: English!

They're building and sharing agents to manage email, calendar, and to-do’s, create learning tools for their kids, learn new languages, plan trips with friends, become better cooks, help them with work, achieve their health goals, or simply to creatively express themselves—all sorts of surprising and uniquely personal needs. These are agents as unique as the people building them, because they're built exactly the way each person wants them to be. We’ve captured some of our favorites at https://t.co/G6nrHTsN5i.

What matters most here isn’t the early momentum; it’s what Dreamer has enabled people to do. People are building things they’ve wanted for years. They’re solving real, important problems no traditional software company would ever prioritize, because they’re too niche, too bespoke, too personal. What company would ever build for an “n of 1”?

Our bet from the beginning has been that software should be personal, malleable, and shaped by the person using it. The constraint was never people’s imagination. It was the fact that building software is out of reach for most people. This early chapter gives us conviction that the idea resonates, the need is real, and the moment is now.

@alexandr_wang was helpful to us from the very beginning, and when we showed Dreamer to Mark Zuckerberg and @natfriedman earlier this year, it was clear right away that we share the same vision of the future: one where billions of people have the power to create software that makes their lives better. We’re thrilled to accelerate this mission by joining Meta Superintelligence Labs and licensing our technology to Meta. Read more at https://t.co/KvmdoPJVbU.

Deeply grateful to our investors @jillchase124 and @ninaachadjian for supporting our vision for a more personal, creative, and intelligent future for software. Thank you for the trust, the thought partnership, and for being in our corner at every step.

To everyone in our community who built with us: thank you. You've taught us what's possible, and you're the proof this works. We're so grateful, and we're just getting started!

Healthcare software was designed for humans. Multi-step, nuanced workflows: prior auth submissions, EHR note creation, eligibility verification. The kind of work that can't be reduced to an API call.

That's what AI agents in healthcare are being asked to automate. And the infrastructure to do it reliably doesn't exist off the shelf.

We build it: A coding agent to generate automation scripts, fully managed infrastructure to run them at scale, and a maintenance agent to keep them working as portals and EHRs change.

Today, we're announcing our $5M seed round, backed by Floating Point, @MeridianStCap, Twine Ventures, @refractvc and angels like @zacharylipton (CTO, Abridge) and @dps (fmr. CTO, Stripe).

If you're building AI agents that need to operate payer portals or EHRs, we'd love to talk. And we're hiring!

@kaseyklimes This is awesome, @kaseyklimes. I think you'd have a lot of fun on https://t.co/G4Rrz5H1mI. Many silly apps being built :)

I've been thinking a lot about this new era and what building in public actually means now. Your community can build alongside you in ways that weren't possible before, which means activating them has become an essential product decision.

Wrote up how we're approaching that @dreamer.

Built a personal health coach in @dreamer.

It tracks macros, workouts, measurements, and schedule.
Analyzes meals from photos.
Suggests dinner recipes based on my day, and sends my trainer a weekly report.

No coding.

Just described the problem and watched it come to life.

@miles_matthias Ack, we're working on it. For now, please connect your Google Tools on Desktop [installing Ramble Wrangler does this by default] and then you can use on your phone.

[David Singleton @dps]

@miles_matthias Use iOS Voice Memos app (so you know for sure the audio is safely captured) and send it to this Dreamer agent in a couple of taps :-) . I use it every couple of days.

The best agents aren’t coming from labs. They're coming from builders like you.

That's why we're launching our Builder in Residence program: a paid fellowship to build agents in Dreamer.

No pressure to monetize, no “side-hustle” stress…. just you, your ideas, and our platform (and team!) to help you bring them to life.
