The real goldmine in the AI race? Human intelligence.

We just led Natter's Series A. They're defining the Enterprise Conversation Intelligence category, capturing what people actually think at scale, not what surveys tell you they think.

40 min of Natter = 500+ hours of legacy interviews. In real time. No game of telephone.

One of the juiciest problems in AI right now: what happens after product-market fit?

AI teams nail an initial use case. They get real traction. Then they hit a wall.

Scaling is where things get hard. Infrastructure debt piles up. GTM motions that worked early start breaking. Models keep shifting under your feet.

I'm joining David Fischer from 01 Advisors and @_RobToews from Radical Ventures at #HumanX2026 to talk through what actually matters when you're trying to break through that wall.

If you'll be in SF April 6–9, come find me. Would love to swap notes.

Long hours. Tenant calls. Endless repairs.
For many busy professionals, owning rentals becomes another full-time job.

GPT 5.1 just dropped, and it promises it can perform reasoning tasks with fewer tokens. So we put it to work on SRE-centric tasks inside Rootly AI Labs.

@LaurenceLiang1 breaks down how the model performs across low, medium, and high reasoning intensity, plus what that means teams as they evaluate whether they should upgrade to this version.

[Tech Week @Techweek_]

“AI is real. It enables things that weren’t possible before - new use cases, real cost savings.

But a lot of what we see doesn’t solve a problem for customers or build sustainable businesses. It’s tech looking for a problem that’s not there.”

@rquintini from @RenegadePtnrs

[Renegade Partners @RenegadePtnrs]

Volatility is part of every market cycle but how firms adapt defines their staying power.

@rquintini will be joining @AllRaise's #VCSummit2025 this week with @laurijmoore (@BessemerVP) to dig into how venture leaders are adapting to volatility and guiding teams through uncertainty.

Huge news: We’re changing our company name from @Grammarly to Superhuman and launching a new product!

The Grammarly brand isn’t going anywhere, but we’re evolving into a multi-product company that includes Grammarly, Coda, Superhuman Mail, and a new AI assistant called Superhuman Go. 🧵

Looking forward to this

[Oana Olteanu @oanaolt]

Tech Week started for me with a bow 🎀 and a room packed with deep tech investors, at @RenegadePtnrs lovely new office in Jackson Square.

Founders have been asking me how is the market. Is it still a good time to raise?

Great news, every person I met at the event is deploying. Yes! And people seem to be more risk taking now than ever before. AI makes everybody lean a bit forward and out of their comfort zone.

Thank you @rquintini, @imthemusic for preparing a great event and TECH WEEK by a16z

[Renegade Partners @RenegadePtnrs]

Exit strategy isn’t an afterthought. Our own @imthemusic joins @jai_das + @DanDSpringer to unpack it live at @TechCrunch Disrupt 2025.
