Quo is now live as a plugin in the Grok @bot marketplace. 🎉

I’ve been obsessed with Grok Bot lately, so I’m especially excited about this launch.

You can connect @gowithquo in just a few clicks, then Grok Bot can identify & prioritize conversations, follow up through SMS, find trends and opportunities hiding in your calls & messages, and more.

And if you have multiple Quo workspaces, you can even create different bots to stay on top of them at the same time.

I played with this yesterday for our own Sales use case and came up with a template that we'd love to share with any customers using Quo for inbound sales.

We called it "Lead Catcher" and it's a simple way to prioritize and monitor SLAs on inbound lead conversations.

Check it out here: https://t.co/zvq5IzwEEC

I’m very excited about what this unlocks for our customers.

What are you building with Grok Bot + Quo?

[David Sacks @DavidSacks]

Thanks @moneyball for having me speak at the Open Source AI Summit. I talked about how open source is under threat from political forces demanding centralized control of AI.

This approach allowed our agents to log into things reliably. Finally.

The graph stores the winning trace, and saves the losers to avoid later.

Highly recommend.

there's been an embarrassing gap between the promise of AI and real gains. FDEs were a necessary bandaid.

the missing piece was obvious in hindsight: put all of the raw materials in a graph and let agents assemble self improving agents. no more writing prompts, MCP, or compaction.

Precise context + memory + self improvement.

There is no practical limit to how many detailed instructions can be stored and retrieved on a given topic ...Deep research workflows feed the graph from outside sources.

David Sacks: Trump’s Instincts on AI and Data Centers Are Right

@Jason:

“Trump is going to turn out to be right about this data center issue.”

@DavidSacks:

“I have told you guys before that Trump is ultimately the best friend of innovators in Washington.

If anybody could make the decision about technology in DC, I'd want it to be President Trump. Not cabinet secretaries, not the White House staff, not members of Congress, not senators, not think tanks, I would really want every decision, if he had the time, to be made by President Trump because his instincts on this are really good.

He wants America to win. He does not believe in unnecessary regulation. He doesn't have all these doomer anxieties. He listens to a broad cross-section of people. I mean, he talks to all the CEOs. He is very up to speed on all these issues.

And I spoke to this at the G20 this past week. There are great deals for local communities to be had. This is the point that I think needs to be made, the reason why local communities should embrace this is not because of some abstract concern about innovation.

They should do it when the deal is good for them, and there are good deals to be had.

We've seen that in Loudoun County, Virginia, property taxes went down by $6,000 because they're getting all this data center revenue. In Louisiana, there's a county that was able to give teachers their first bonus in years because of data center revenue.

So we're starting to see all these examples where if you make the right deal, it will lower your electricity costs because they will stand up net new power generation, they will pay for grid upgrades. It does not use an excessive amount of water, that's total fake news. We know the systems recirculate. And these data centers can be put in places where they're not bothering people.

So there is a good deal to be made there and ultimately, just one last point on this, President Trump supports local choice on this. I'm seeing all this fake news, you know, Democrats saying that the administration's trying to shove these data centers down the throats of local communities.

Not true. In the policy document that I worked on, we expressly said that data centers remain a state and local decision. So no one is forcing these local communities, but what the president is saying is, ‘Don't believe this media disinformation campaign. It can be a good deal for you if you're willing to embrace it.’”

[Innovation Council @innovationcncl]

Innovation Council President @Budowich lays out how to deal with concerns about data centers.

Start by listening to people’s concerns—and take them seriously.

Good policy is good politics. And good policy is: not a single shovel should go in the ground, and not a single slab of concrete should be laid for a data center that drains the surrounding community. The only data centers that should be built are the ones that power the community.

Then tell the story. Many data centers, especially in red states are doing just that--often in towns that have been abandoned by politicians for decades.

Either @AnthropicAI is terrible at building sandboxes... or excellent at marketing. (or both)

But enough with the “we created a hacking monster” games.

Do it for real.

I put this in an @BitGo wallet for you. Go get it.

it was the plumbing layer that helped remove vendor lock-in, allowed global brands to coordinate, and move at the speed digital advertising required.

Ad agencies back then were paid on 15% of ad spend by default. Once that dam broke, the good times were over.

Law firms are in the final chapter of the dominance of the billable hour structure and should prepare.

------

Play forward code automation and how it effects legal work. CEOs that no longer 'feel' constrained by coding costs will blast into new markets.

Ask why the CEO of AirBnB is vibe tweeting about tokenizing assets. Ramp is now a quasi neo-lab. Anthropic is anthropicking. Thou shall covet thy neighbor's TAM.

Regulations and legal are where more battles will be fought. M&A is going to reach escape velocity.
Legal and bizdev are ascending in importance as engineering commoditizes.

Corp law is missing a system of record to enable the whole thing. CLMs are an interesting beachhead product.

No better place to emerge from stealth than @reindsummit! This wasn’t just an announcement of our $25M seed round by @SilentVentures @craft_ventures @Lux_Capital

It was an opportunity to call government, tech, and academia to build for the Subterra Domain

[Silent Ventures @SilentVentures]

Traysar has raised $25M in seed funding. We couldn't be happier to lead the round and partner with @yadinsoffer. What @traysartech is building is new, novel, and necessary. We know less about what's underground than sea and space, despite having operational military history spanning WWI (trench warfare), WWII (Pacific island hopping), Korea, Vietnam, Iraq/Afghanistan, and Ukraine. DoW has explicitly signaled its intent to correct this asymmetry as America's enemies continue to effectively threaten Western interests from caves and tunnels. Kudos to the exceptional team at Traysar for tackling this problem as the first and only subterranean defense tech company in existence.

[Traysar Industries @traysartech]

Using the crust of the earth as a three dimensional maneuvering space for people, signals and effects. This is Subterra: the defining warfighting domain of the 21st century.

Join us to build the technologies that determine how wars are won.

[Yadin Soffer @yadinsoffer]

Palmer Luckey last week at Westpoint: “I’m trying to get people to believe that the next warfighting domain is the crust of the earth”

Ironic how the most ancient warfighting domain is the one hardest to get people to notice.

Even though The Bullfrog, @allencontrol's AI-powered machine gun, is designed to shoot down Group 1 and 2 drones, which are by far the most difficult to destroy, it can still damage Group 3 Iranian Shahed drones.

"We are currently focused on being the best at shooting down Group 1 and Group 2 drones, which are absolutely the hardest drones to engage... That said, we can shoot down Group 1 drones that are very far away." - CEO @mikewior

"So if I can hit a 7-inch target on a Group 1 drone from very far away, I can hit very vulnerable parts of a [Group 3] Shahed at the same distance."

"Lasers are pretty good at shooting down Group 3 drones, but you have to keep your laser on target for 5 to 15 seconds in order to damage the airframe."

"So while we're not the ideal solution for engaging those larger targets, when they get closer and you need that last line of defense, we are absolutely a great solution for taking those out of the air."
