A lot shipped at @Airwallex this month.
We launched Airi, made it possible to run Airwallex workflows through AI agents, and rolled out new updates across cards, expenses, and checkout.
A few highlights ⤵
Excited to announce that @airwallex has acquired @leapfin.
The Leapfin team has built one of the strongest platforms for turning complex transaction data into clean, auditable financial records.
Their product solves a real pain point for modern finance teams, and we’re excited to bring their technology and expertise into Airwallex.
Excited to welcome @raymond_lau, @eya0 and the entire Leapfin team to Airwallex and build what comes next together.
We started @Airwallex in Australia and are part of the great story of this country building significant companies that have had a global impact in consumer web, SaaS, and fintech.
I don't see any reason it can't do the same in AI. 🇦🇺
I'd like to see that happen. If you're building in AI and based in Australia, apply now 👉🏼 https://t.co/qbaB7zLEeN
🚀 Developers: Airwallex’s Developer MCP server is trending on @AnthropicAI Claude!
If you’ve used AI coding tools, you’ve probably run into this: hallucinated endpoints, made-up parameters, or answers that sound right but break in practice. And even when you explicitly ask it to look through documentation, results are hit-or-miss depending on how friendly the site is for retrieval and how reliable its web-scraping tool is.
So we built something to help.
On top of last year’s release of the local server, we added remote deployment options with one-click setup and simple OAuth connection, compatible across a wide range of IDEs and coding platforms across @cursor_ai, @claudeai, @Google@GeminiApp, @OpenAI Codex, @Lovable, V0 by @vercel, @Replit and any other platforms supporting the Model Context Protocol.
What the Developer MCP Server brings:
📜 Retrieval-optimised access to Airwallex product and API docs
🔧 A tight, focused toolset to reduce model confusion and improve accuracy
🖥️ More reliable code generation with codified best practices to optimize token usage
🖱️ Instant compatibility with our one-click, self-serve sandbox environment
🚧 In progress: more tools in the server, direct production environment access, CLI support

@ezraklein Today is a public holiday in the Australian state of Victoria because there is a (actual) horse race on. Seems like an election is at least as important
@dylanmatt I can see the argument that individual rights (free speech) involve balancing (defamation vs. freedom) and change over time (Twitter gives everyone a bull horn), and should therefore be debated in a democratic institution (i.e. Congress)
@dylanmatt It seems like this is conflating judicial review of legislation (which I think is easily defensible) and enshrining individual rights in a constitution. Without judicial review there is no protection for basic democratic rights like 1 person 1 vote or regular elections
@Spacekatgal You have a lot of good ideas, I don't think this is one. A country isn't a company or an engineering problem. The lawmaking process was designed with speed humps, which have frustratingly been turned into roadblocks recently, but were originally put there for good reasons
