Our CTO Denis spent the weekend with dev teams at the @hcompany_ai x @42AI_ hackathon building agents that can use a computer.
Voice-first copilot "H Companion" took the €5k. Very good.
Great to partner alongside @gladia_io and @stripe. Paris is building.

"retrieval is solved” - said nobody in our office last thursday
30+ researchers and engineers, @cohere, @Sorbonne_Univ_ and Linkup Research arguing about sparse vs dense until the wine ran out
which it didn't for at least 6 hours
Field Notes #1: On Retrieval. #2 is coming
AFP is the first partner of its kind. It won’t be the last as Linkup continues to build a new, fair economy of information sharing for AI agents, enterprises and publishers alike.
Press release in the comments.
Everything is a plugin: providers, MCP, routing, fallbacks. Each one takes a few lines in config.
Here’s an example with OpenAI and @Linkup_platform, a web search integration we natively support:
[providers.openai]
vendor = "openai"
key = "env:OPENAI_API_KEY"
[tools.linkup]
vendor = "linkup"
key = "env:LINKUP_API_KEY"
Switch on the tool loop, and GPT can search the web with Linkup. Your app stays a plain chat call.
Join us in Paris for an evening on Retrieval. Speakers from Linkup Research, @cohere and @Sorbonne_Univ_ , dinner and drinks.
29/10, Linkup Paris HQ

One of our early crawl runs hit a test site with no delay between requests.
Within minutes it was returning 500s. We’d knocked it offline.
Now Mercator, our crawler, visits each site at most once a second.
To still read billions of pages a day, going fast meant going wide.
