@Pashpops @a1baseapi @ycombinator @Sachin_and_Adam Amazing video! Great work @Pashpops

[Pasha Rayan @Pashpops]

How are we building @a1baseapi (@ycombinator) for the future of AI Agents?

We went on the @Sachin_and_Adam Show recently to talk about our thesis of what we think the world of agents is going to look like.

One thing that struck me during our chat: we're not building another chatbot interface. We're going Twilio-level deep – letting AI agents communicate where humans actually are. SMS, WhatsApp, Slack, email.

Here's my take: AI isn't going to change how people work. We need to build AI around how people currently work.
