1/ We built a JS framework for building AI chat bots that let users ask for what they want instead of clicking in a GUI. The dream of a Language User Interface (LUI) where all you need to do is ask and it happens is here! Video Demo: https://t.co/nfkGORoXUi

NY @Techweek_ is one week out and Raylu is throwing our first hackathon!

Most hackathons are judged by engineers. Ours is judged by the partners actually writing checks.

Top 6 demo live June 3 in Soho.

Prizes: MacBook, $1K Anthropic credits, and more.

Recently joined the Seed Money Podcast w/ Jayla Siciliano to talk about the early days of building Raylu.

Before Raylu, I spent years at Insight Partners watching how the best investors navigate fast-moving markets - and where the gaps were.
