AI builders & big dogs — @elonmusk
you really gonna let a small-town Missouri kid out-engineer the future of practical car intelligence?
Ama by Shiro AI: Offline in-car mechanic that learns your exact ride, predicts failures hundreds of miles early, explains fixes in plain English. Built solo. No cloud. No subs. Patent pending.
While the labs chase hype, we're shipping machines that work when the signal drops. Step up or get lapped. Who's building real-world AI that matters?

@brettcalhounn Just drove 3hrs each way to make your Roots event last night only got 2hrs on the ground and barely caught a glimpse of you. Worth every mile though—happy to come back and actually stay long enough to pitch properly this time. Let’s do it!
🚗 Tired of the mystery check-engine light?

Would you want this? 👇
Just got back from an awesome
@Roots_Build
event! 🔥
If you’re in Missouri and building tech, you need to come to one of these. Solid group of founders, talent, and investors actually connecting and helping each other.
Huge thanks to
@brettcalhounn
and the team for putting this together. Where are your roots?
Highly recommend 👏 #MissouriTech #StartupEvents
Hey @boardyai
— building an offline, multi-agent AI system (Ama/Shiro AI) that turns any car into an on-screen mechanic via CAN/OBD + full agentic infotainment suite (weather council, nav, AI DJ, climate). Solo-built with provisional patent filed June '26. Which investors right now are actively looking for early-stage agentic AI in automotive diagnostics, edge AI, or software-defined vehicles? Would love an intro if it fits. Thanks!"
Got invited to the NVIDIA rooftop event at #SIGGRAPH2026 in LA and I’m seriously considering it… but I’d have to take time off work and fly across the country from Springfield, MO just for the ~2hr party (plus travel days). Is it worth it? Anyone been to similar NVIDIA/SIGGRAPH mixers and think the networking / vibes make a quick trip worthwhile? Would love honest takes! #NVIDIA #SIGGRAPH #Graphics
Ditch OpenAI & Meta AI. Use Grok + Claude instead.Why? They hoard your data, censor answers, and play the ruthless “copy & crush” game.
Heavy filters. Privacy headaches. You’re the product.
Grok → Real-time knowledge, honest answers, less censorship, user-controlled data.
Claude → Superior reasoning, writing & coding.The power combo beats the rest.If you’re already using Grok or Claude (or both) — drop a below and tell us why you switched. Let’s grow the better side of AI. #Grok #Claude #BetterAI
Funds for AMA prototype? ZERO Me: "Fine. I'll just fix Civ 6 AI instead." Civ leaders: your braindead era is over Drop your most cursed Civ AI fail RIGHT NOW #Civ6#ShiroAI#GameAI#BrokeDev#PrototypeChaos
Just wrapped a great call with @boardyai
— their agent was sharp, helpful, and made the whole convo smooth. Appreciate the thoughtful support as we build Shiro AI (Ama: the on-screen mechanic for your car). Excited to see what intros and connections come from this! If you're a founder looking for smart networking, check out https://t.co/J5tIr0qcbx #ShiroAI #AI #Startups
@boardyai That light was at 700 miles before fault. There is another where we pick up a parasitic drain on the battery before it can drain it completely. We have also had early success using same model on heavy machinery with error code readouts
One model. Seven machines.
Tested early synthetic benchmarks across cars, an EV, a Class-8 semi, an ag tractor, and an excavator.
100% detection before the warning light on authored real-world failure modes.
Full results doc ready to send. DMs open.
Got some holiday time off from the factory. Pretty stoked about it — means I can actually dedicate some solid hours to building without the usual rush. Solo founder life hitting different with a bit of breathing room. Grateful for the break.
