"there's a lot of focus on B2B workflows and corporate, sort of AI and coding and design but how do we bring this to my mom who's 70, right?"

I think sometimes when I’m building, I forget that this should be so intuitive that even my mom (whose only experience with tech is downloading Facebook) could use it.

There’s so much focus on B2B workflows, AI, coding, design, and “another tool for the office.”

But when we focus too much on that, we can lose sight of what’s actually useful to people.

What’s the point of building anything if it doesn’t ultimately make people’s lives better?

Another banger episode @BoBrainerd @brandonturp !

[Ophelia @opheliaapi]

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.

@BoBrainerd @BarackObama Audio book when?!

[Jorge Moreno @JmMoreno3003]

@opheliaapi @BoBrainerd Very on point !

[Bo Brainerd @BoBrainerd]

I've been sent this 100+ times today.

Computer use and models are going to be incredible.

We’re bullish on it.

But at Ophelia, we’re building around a different bet.

Today, the internet is fragmented across millions of interfaces, so intelligence has to learn how to operate them.

We think that’s a transition state.

We don’t think every consumer company should have to integrate a computer-use environment, manage browser sessions, or put another model in the path of every transaction.

Transactions should be a native capability of the product itself.

Ophelia connects consumer software to the systems where those transactions live: booking platforms, POS, payments, identity, authorization, and provider infrastructure, and abstracts the complexity server-side.

Not another intelligence layer between your product and the transaction.

Infrastructure connecting consumer demand to the real systems that fulfill it.

So when your model decides “book it,” “buy it,” or “reserve it,” that decision can become a native transaction inside your product: authorized by your user, routed across the right systems, reconciled, remembered, and returned as structured state.

No agent wallets.

No handing your user to another assistant.

No choosing a competing intelligence layer just to give your product the ability to transact.

Bring OpenAI. Bring Anthropic. Bring Kimi. Bring Hark. Bring whatever comes next.

We want all of them to work with @OpheliaAPI

Because our bet isn’t that one model will become the best way to operate every interface on the internet.

Our bet is that consumer products eventually won’t need to operate those interfaces at all.

Hark is giving AI browsers and the frontier model companies a run for their money.

We’re building the infrastructure they’ll transact through.

Hark to the moon, the real-world needs you.

@BoBrainerd @opheliaapi live for the company, die for the company

@BoBrainerd @opheliaapi @thomaspark_gg @Google Ophelia TO THE MOON 🚀

[Jorge Moreno @JmMoreno3003]

@BoBrainerd @opheliaapi And just like that, ready for dinner !

[Ophelia @opheliaapi]

“Make dinner reservation”
“Buy concert tickets”
“Schedule the appointment”
“Book a flight”

One request = hundreds of operational decisions

→ Finding providers
→ Resolving availability
→ Authenticating users
→ Authorizing payments
→ Executing bookings
→ Handling failures
→ Verifying confirmations

Ophelia reduces the complexity with a single API to discover, book, and manage real-world experiences, directly inside your product.

From intent to outcome.

Today, AI is changed forever.

We're giving access to the biggest and strongest release in Ophelia's history.

Anything that can be booked, purchased, reserved, scheduled, registered, or confirmed online...can now be completed with @opheliaAPI…

→ Flights
→ Hotels
→ Restaurants
→ Concerts
→ @partiful / @luma
→ Appointments
→ Services

And so much more.

One API to unlock any authorized transaction across the internet from @Airbnb and @Expedia to @OpenTable, @JetBlue, @Zocdoc, @partiful, Luma, and millions of other destinations where people already book, buy, reserve, and register.

If you're building an AI assistant, consumer app, wearable, LLM, or AI-native platform, you no longer need months of integrations, fragile browser automations, or countless provider partnerships just to complete a user's request.

Your product becomes the place where things happen.

For end users, this upgrade is even bigger.

No more searching, bouncing between apps, filling out forms, coordinating everything yourself.

You ask something as simple as:
"Book me a table for 8."
"Get me a flight to New York."
"RSVP me to the party."
"Schedule my haircut."

A few seconds later:

✅ JetBlue Flight 217 confirmed.
✅ Seat 12A.
✅ Boarding pass sent to your email.

That's the new standard.

The biggest release in Ophelia's history starts now.

@opheliaapi This changes what AI can actually do. Huge for Ophelia. 🚀

[Jorge Moreno @JmMoreno3003]

Feels like everyone hypes up the newest models of AI every time before it’s released.

It gets released and they show how it “one-shot” some random game or some UI. But no one ever shows how it really solved a problem.

Lmk when Opus15 drops and I’ll check that one out

New role unlocked:

CTO at @opheliaapi 🎉

I’ve spent a lot of time building toward this moment, and it’s hard to put into words how much it means.

Grateful to @BoBrainerd for the trust. Now it’s time to build, ship, and see how far we can take this.

Ophelia’s next chapter is going to be a fun one. 🚀

[Jorge Moreno @JmMoreno3003]

“...then when these people actually start building, they’ll realize how complicated it is. We’ve had so many users convert because they initially think, ‘This is so easy. I could do this in a day—or five minutes.’
I’m like, ‘Okay, go try it yourself.’
Almost always, they come back, try our product, and say, ‘Oh, this is so much easier than anything else on the market.’”

This is probably the truest thing said in this podcast.

I think a lot of people underestimate how complex many of the tools we use every day actually are. Once a product becomes familiar and easy to use, it can start to look easy to build too.

People see the finished product, but they do not always see the years of iteration, edge cases, failures, infrastructure, and engineering decisions it took to make that experience feel simple.

It is easy to look at something polished and think, “I could build that in a day.” Usually, once you actually try, you realize how much complexity is hiding underneath.

“Easy to use” rarely means “easy to build.”

This was a great episode to listen to while building.👏

[Ophelia @opheliaapi]

This week, @BoBrainerd sat down with @AgentPhoneHQ founder @manav2modi (YC P26) to discuss the emerging stack powering autonomous consumer products.

We’re watching software evolve from a system of intelligence into a system of action, especially at @opheliaapi

The implications are massive:

→ AI calling businesses on behalf of users
→ AI coordinating across fragmented systems
→ AI completing transactions end-to-end
→ AI executing real-world workflows autonomously

This is a completely new computing paradigm.

“As machines become more capable and conscious, where is the value in humans and humanity?”

Everyone is talking about AI agents.

Few are talking about the infrastructure required to make them useful.

@BoBrainerd evidence of the grind 💪

[Jorge Moreno @JmMoreno3003]

@BoBrainerd @opheliaapi Letttsss gooooo!!! Maybe next all nighter we’ll ship +5 features 🤔

[Jorge Moreno @JmMoreno3003]

@BoBrainerd @opheliaapi Proud of what we’re building at Ophelia. Big step forward 🚀🚀

Can’t wait to watch 👀

[Bo Brainerd @BoBrainerd]

Sat down with @manav2modi (YC P26) of @AgentPhoneHQ to talk about emerging infrastructure powering the next generation agentic consumer products.

What happens when AI can call, coordinate, book, transact, and act autonomously on behalf of a user?

Most people are still underestimating how big this shift is.

Coming soon. 👀

Testing @opheliaapi flow in prod

Status: confirmed

Bug: nosebleed seats 🫠

Joji absolutely delivered though.

[Ophelia @opheliaapi]

The next generation of applications won’t compete on intelligence alone.

They’ll compete on their ability to take action.

“Hey Meta”

“Hey Siri”

“Hey Google”

“Do THIS for me.”

But this is where everything breaks.

Behind every completed request is a stack of infrastructure:

- Discovery
- Availability
- Coordination
- Booking
- Payments

Most teams rebuild from scratch.

Today, developers can embed discovery, coordination, booking, and fulfillment directly into their applications in seconds.

Here’s how ↓
