We instituted an official AI Writing Policy at @Clay.

Massive thanks to @sophiebits on our engineering team who wrote this.

Originally this was just for eng, but other teams found it so helpful we expanded it company-wide.

Here are the four guiding principles:

1. You must stand behind every idea and sentence

It is your responsibility to make sure that the entire document is representative of your own thoughts before you share it.

2. Writing is thinking

Spending time on the writing process teaches you more about your topic. If you circumvent this process, you will walk away with a poorer understanding of the subject matter.

3. More time should be spent writing a document than consuming it

If you generate a document from a short prompt then ask your readers to go through the longer output, you are disrespecting their time. They can talk to ChatGPT themselves if they want to.

4. Longer is not better

AI makes it easy to generate long docs, and it loves padding them with sentences that say nothing. If you're producing docs from a short prompt, consider just sharing the prompt.

You can read (and borrow) the full policy below. Hopefully we all communicate a bit more clearly now :)

One of the best founder manifestos I’ve seen.

It’s the letter @eglyman and @karimatiyeh wrote to convince people to/not to join @tryramp.

A few of my fav lines:
- Criterion for hiring: “If this person started a company would we join them?”
- Who were for: “That first year, we hired 60 more brilliant misfits. And that group of misfits built the fastest-growing company in New York City.”
- What to expect: "You’ll be given too much responsibility. You’ll never be bored. You’ll be pushed to do the best work of your career — at the fastest pace of your career. That’s not for most people. And that’s okay.”

Such great storytelling of the principle that recruiting isn’t sales, it’s mutual match-making. 👏

The way we work has changed. HR systems haven't.

We encoded our rules into software and ran against them. That worked when strategy shifted over years. Now it shifts daily.

We need systems that work for us, then get out of the way. So we built one.

[Pete Schlampp @peteschlampp]

Day one of a long journey. We intend to win the next generation of HR.

If you lead People at a growing enterprise, or you're an AI engineer, designer, or HR architect who wants to build from the ground up: let's talk.

Sol. Human potential, amplified.

[Pete Schlampp @peteschlampp]

Three cofounders who built systems of record for the world's most demanding companies: @erinhyang , @StrattonJim , @jonruggiero . Plus engineers and HR leaders who left great things to build this.
Incubated by @shv , backed by @NEA .

[Eric Glyman @eglyman]

last time @tryramp grew this fast year-over-year, we were 1/20th the size

~170% TPV growth in March. growth usually decays with scale — ours re-accelerated

on CNBC this morning with @carlquintanilla and @SaraEisen for the Disruptor 50

[Ramp Labs @RampLabs]

Today, we're releasing Ramp CLI to let agents manage your company's finances.

50+ tools across cards, bills, expenses, travel, and approvals. Fewer tokens than MCP, and comes with pre-built skills like receipt compliance and agentic purchasing.

@jaltma Congrats Jack!

[Bobby Weir @BobWeir]

It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of Bobby Weir. We send him off the way he sent so many of us on our way: with a farewell that isn’t an ending, but a blessing.  A reward for a life worth livin'. https://t.co/2qdBbh80v1

Just launched: SHIFT Models, Physics AI foundation models and datasets for product design. The first release, SHIFT-SUV, is now available as open source.
Designers can get instant aerodynamic feedback without simulation headaches meshing or solver setup.

John King left a C-suite gig at Fallon New York to come home and start a sports and entertainment agency inspired by his most legendary creation, the Minnesota State High School All Hockey Hair Team videos. https://t.co/IKBGTbqhyY

So proud of our team at @Rivian for being named Best Luxury Brand by @usnews. Wonderful to see everyone’s hard work recognized!

This is not your standard startup leadership shakeup. 10,000’s of startups are building on OpenAI, and have assumed a certain degree of technical velocity and commercial stability. This instantly changes the structure of the industry.

@rwang0 @Varneyco @FoxBusiness @amazon @Apple @nvidia @Google @Microsoft Nailed it, Ray. I do think Apple needs to move from the ambient AI to the foreground. Sounds like we're waiting for iOS 18 for that though.
