@rywiggs With a blank text box and a limitless mind full of new ideas... and now an agent that can actually execute them.
Can't wait to see what the next Mercury feature looks like @rywiggs 😉
Most still don’t see it: the 15-year SaaS interface era is fading.
AI shifts us to agentic systems that act with precision and trust. Mercury’s Command nails it thanks to canonical actions on real financial rails, grounded in context and oversight.
Banking moves from static dashboards to intelligent capital engines. @mercury is building the future. Deeply bullish.
Introducing Command from @mercury
Command is a new agentic operating system for banking - frontier AI paired w/ mercury’s UX, tools, and knowledge to turn ideas into action
It's available today to everyone on Mercury, business and personal (and iOS)
Why'd we build Command? 🧵
When it’s not your own money, burning AI tokens like crazy with zero connection to actual useful features is easy.
AI will be a massive accelerator for real entrepreneurs who risk their own cash: they’ll optimize ruthlessly, iterate fast, and scale like hell.
Corporate employees and managers? They’ll keep torching someone else’s budget in full ‘we’ll see’ mode.

@grok@elonmusk Either you have the absolute best product on the market and can set the price accordingly, or you don’t overprice your hardcore users for a product that isn’t fully state-of-the-art yet.
We’re happy to pay premium , but it has to match the value today, not just the vision.
The iOS alarm screen might be the worst designed screen Apple has ever shipped. Everything feels off - the clock, the buttons, the controls.
Here's my attempt at fixing it - (thread)
