Today, we're introducing Lassie and $47M in funding led by a16z.
We're building AI that runs small businesses, starting with doctors' offices.
Lassie is already trusted by 700+ practices across the country, working autonomously to provide them with 30 hours of labor per month.
To get here, we first had to leave Robinhood and Superhuman to work in offices ourselves.
Here's how that went.
i had Claude Code build a Notion Worker that syncs SF's electronic music events into a Notion database with dates, venues, genres, prices, etc
icymi you can sync any external data into Notion (for any use case)
Octolane started by watching my mom.
Single mom. Four sons. Seven days a week. No CRM. But she remembered every customer and every promise.
I was Mintlify's first intern working in SF. One day I looked at the Salesforce tower and thought: my mom didn't need a CRM. What if no one did?
Dropped out of Duke. Started Octolane with my best friend @halim__rafi and a team of 5, engineers twice our age who left real jobs to bet on us. Working from coffee shop to coffee shop, 7 days a week, spending as little as possible.
Today, after onboarding 1,000+ companies manually, @octolane - The Self-driving AI CRM is generally available.
You talk to Octolane like a co-founder. It figures things out and does the work end to end. Because the best CRM is no CRM.
→ 10,000+ action types - the largest action library in any CRM
→ 200+ integrations + MCP server (works inside Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT)
→ Multi-agent system: agents talk to each other to run your pipeline
→ Self-improving sales playbook that compounds with every deal
Give it a shot today. Break the product. Let us know.
My number: 628-285-1600. Text me for a launch-day coupon. First 20 calls, I'll onboard you myself.

Dear Matthias,
As a fellow European, I would have never expected you to resort to such treachery.
ChatGPT is a tool created by an evil American corporation. They do not respect the data privacy practices we pride ourselves on in Europe.
A true European would have used Mistral's Le Chat.
Yours truly (disappointed),
Richard
Introducing https://t.co/ZbU21ECKPE, the largest open-source catalog of skills to reliably perform any task on the internet.
We've researched hundreds of sites to give your agents the playbook they need to navigate the web.
Conductor (@conductor_build) is a Mac app that lets you run multiple coding agents at the same time. Create an isolated copy of your codebase in one click, tell Claude or Codex to go work, and review and merge the results.
The company just raised a $22 million Series A, and today is launching Conductor Cloud, which lets agents keep working even after you close your laptop.
In this episode of Founder Firesides, co-founders @charlieholtz and @jacksondecampos sat down with YC's @aaron_epstein to talk about cycling through a dozen ideas before landing on the one that stuck, how building dev tools for themselves led to Conductor, and what they've learned from watching the best engineers in the world work with coding agents every day.
Downloads API just got a serious upgrade.
Every file is now a first-class object you can manage individually instead of pulling a session-level zip.
Bring your own storage to push downloads straight into your bucket.
Many people do not seem to want data centres built near them, despite the fact that they don't cause that much traffic and often generate a lot of local tax revenue. I suspect it's partly because they're ugly! My proposal:
