@thisisgrantlee @pritopian @purvanshi_mehta Taste is rare and hard to replicate. Excited for this crew!

[Jensen Huang @JensenHuang]

For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter.

AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country.

Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty.

The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models.

@jasonshafton @Google @ChristopherFong @jasonshafton Play together!

[Kushagra Shrivastava @kushagra]

Leaving @Google taught me something I wish I'd understood much earlier.

Experience gets you started. People determine how far you go.

That's why @ChristopherFong and I built Key Studio.

To give AI founders access to the people who can change the trajectory of their company.

→ Up to $100K in funding
→ Up to $350K in Google Cloud & AI credits
→ World-class mentors
→ Co-founder matching
→ Warm investor introductions

Looking back, my biggest advantage wasn't Google on my résumé.
It was finding the right people.

If you're building with AI, we'd love to build alongside you at https://t.co/Hflp8FvwpZ

@boardyai Boardy Pro. Let’s go

[Abel Mengistu @asmengistu]

introducing Campus.

a collaborative, spatial workspace. your agents and teammates. shared memory. shared context. nothing resets.

400 commits in the last several dozen hours. we haven't been able to stop.

demo coming. this is before that.

a Campus you never graduate from.

comment "CAMPUS" for first access.

So tough to make your parents proud when…

[Deedy @deedydas]

Billionaire Michael Milken joked “if a US company replaces the US-born CEO with a CEO born in India, I buy the stock”

But he reveals he hasn’t backtested the idea.
So we did.

In the last 15yrs, that would’ve 50x’d your money: 7.5x more $$ and >2x IRR vs S&P500: 30% vs 14%!

Must read from @heysakina

AI doesn’t scale through models -it scales through trust. Saw it at YouTube & seeing it again now.

Sovereign Wall, Trust Wall, and why #creators not appsdrive adoption.

[Kushagra Shrivastava @kushagra]

A very honest and true story about #FounderMode that @ali_moiz and Murt had.

Perseverance and grit to carry on they have is inspiring. Must read for all founders!

Congrats to @dan7geo for building a personal memory layer with AI and passing 100,000 users. He’s thought deeply about making it secure and selective by design. I’m taking it for a test drive.

@kushagra thanks for the great Xoogler event.

[Kushagra Shrivastava @kushagra]

Congratulations @thisisgrantlee! Incredible update.

[Grant Lee @thisisgrantlee]

Excited to introduce: Gamma 3.0

A generational leap for the world's most popular AI presentation tool.

Two major changes:

1. Gamma Agent - with one prompt, you can make sweeping edits across the presentation.

a. Say 'make it more visual' and it will scan each slide for data that could be visualized better.

b. Upload a screenshot of rough notes you want to turn into a slide and it will synthesize the info, search the web to fill gaps, and make a table for you to match your brand or theme.

2. Gamma API

Say you have a sales deck you want to reuse as a template. You could build a Zapier workflow to convert all of your meeting transcripts into personalized decks, automatically sent after every customer meeting.

Bonus:

We’re also launching Team & Business plans, bringing visual storytelling to organizations of all sizes, and a new Ultra plan for our power users looking to push the boundaries even further.

PowerPoint has over a billion users, but the vast majority struggle to use it effectively. Why is that?

Because making PPTs is still slow and tedious.

We want Gamma to feel different.

Our goal is to both lower the floor and raise the ceiling, so that anyone can get their ideas out there.

Can’t wait to see what you make with 3.0.
