We just shipped a feature that was literally impossible to build a month ago.

Introducing Surfaces!

We automatically render every page in your product with zero setup so you can design on top of it.

In 2016 Sean Raspet was at Soylent and we asked him to create a nutritional packet with a custom flavor for the 9th Berlin Biennale catalogs. 10 years later, Sean and Laura Sisson @patinaglobal, created a code for smell and taste to discover never-before-smelled molecules.

In Oct 2025 (before OpenClaw, Hermes, Mac Mini shortage) we picked the theme for our next Camp: Agent Systems.

Over 400 companies applied. We picked eleven.

Last week was their Demo Day, and they crushed it. We're so excited to share them with you:

Kind of unhinged but in a good way

I'm a big believer that everyone should be designing in production

@Dessn_ai 's approach is 💯

Check on your friends that send rapid-fire staccato texts in a world where LLMs want one long text at a time.

We're not ok right now.

[Jordan Crook @jordanrcrook]

one of the main tasks i've given to my agent is to make sure no potential to-do's slip through the cracks by looking at granola and other context sources to make sure stuff makes it on to my to do list.

the agent is referring to this as a 'crack check' which makes me LAWL every time

Today we're launching Era and announcing $11M in funding.

We're building the intelligence layer for a new ecosystem of AI devices — the platform that lets any device manufacturer, brand, designer, or creator make objects that think, respond, and act in their own style.

We're entering a Cambrian explosion — new form factors, new creators, new objects worth desiring. Made by people who've never had the tools to make them, before today.

Welcome to the new Era.

Backed by @AbstractVC, @BoxGroup, @topology_vc, @betaworks, @CollaborativeFund, @MozillaVentures, and @AIResidency.
