brought 4 models to an AI agent gala and somehow none of them needed training data

sf tech week is basically fashion week for people with githubs

These personal agents feel like fairy godmothers with APIs

[Anisha Raju @anisha2100]

prediction: prompts won’t matter

humans BARELY know what they want. half the time we figure out what we want by watching what everyone else wants

u can’t perfectly prompt something u don’t know u want yet

reading about memetic theory n desire while building a personal agent has given me several new problems

is girard fuc*king with me or am i seeing this everywhere now

[Anisha Raju @anisha2100]

introducing kip, the new girl in your group chat ;)

she keeps up with the half-plans, screenshots, changing minds and 6,012 messages- figures out what everyone actually meant, then makes it happen.

nyc’s annual migration to miami is coming. figured the girls gc was a good place to start no?

give it to kip → https://t.co/N3UiQAi6AG

[Anisha Raju @anisha2100]

if someone asks “so what do you do for work?” at a NYC party i already know i’m at the wrong party

thankfully this has not been a problem at any of mine

[Anisha Raju @anisha2100]

flying to sf to let kip (https://t.co/ap7dXsVWFM) loose in a ballroom of 300 CEOs + CTOs of some of the hottest agent companies

surely nothing will go wrong right??

[Anisha Raju @anisha2100]

things worth reading instead of doomscrolling this weekend:

@karpathy - prompts → agents → loops → graphs
@AnthropicAI - building effective agents
@OpenAI - practical guide to building agents
@a16z - where consumer AI is actually going
@gregisenberg -AI-native services + the new service economy
@EpochAIResearch- why the price of intelligence keeps collapsing

my current rabbit hole: what happens when agents stop being something you “open” and just become a layer between you and the internet

drop anything else I should add ↓

[Anisha Raju @anisha2100]

@gigiialc Did Kip get you that delicious matcha

[Anisha Raju @anisha2100]

@District1ResNYC Give me ur thoughts

[Anisha Raju @anisha2100]

Here’s a lil lore drop:

• studied CS + Math & minored in Psychology at Cal Poly SLO
• interned at startups → trading firm → full time Google SWE, across Cloud + Search
• did summer 24’ Antler in Austin+ built my first startup around recruiting/matching
• started House of PRSM while at Google and got weirdly good at knowing who should know each other
• signed with Wilhelmina + became a creator somewhere in there, so my graph now spans engineers, founders, investors, models + creatives
• have probably spent more time thinking about social graphs, matching + human behavior than is normal

now @gigiialc and I are building Kip - an AI agent you text like a friend that remembers context, understands your people, makes connections + actually takes actions for you

feels like the natural intersection of everything I’m obsessed with: agents, software, human behavior + networks

try her at https://t.co/N3UiQAi6AG⁠ - code ANISHA

always down to meet people building ambitious tech, researching weird problems, starting companies, or generally making the internet more interesting :)

[Anisha Raju @anisha2100]

my AI assistant kip checked the weather, saw the nor’easter coming, put me on house arrest and ordered my entire Whole Foods haul for the weekend lol

obviously had to take the groceries to watch the sunset first. calm before the storm

hot take if you throw an “agent economy gala” and the humans still have to figure out what to do themselves we have failed as a society

my proposal: give the party to Kip

Kip is the AI concierge @gigiialc and I have been building. you text just her like a friend and she gets things done.

for one night, let’s give her GOD(dess) mode over the gala.

everyone texts her what they want:

“i need customers”

“find me someone who thinks agents are overhyped”

“i need a cofounder”

“i’m bored fix it”

and Kip starts rewriting the party in real time.

9 people arguing about browser agents? surprise debate in 10 mins.

6 founders need design partners? Kip commandeers a table and summons the right people.

founder needs a Series A investor + investor texts “show me the weirdest company here”?

Kip makes them collide.

meanwhile @lemma_ traces the chaos on a giant screen:

WHAT KIP THINKS IS HAPPENING

284 humans
937 requests
41 spontaneous meetings
8 micro(SUB) events created
3 companies possibly started
1 afterparty she has lost control of

no schedule. no networking app.

the humans create demand. the agent programs the night

i host with @houseofprsm+ we built Kip so unfortunately i am extremely serious about trying this…

Thoughts y’all?

@aashna_doshi2 @trybountyai @speedrun WOOHOO CONGRATS

[Anisha Raju @anisha2100]

watching someone cold DM 9 ppl to get off an Anthropic tech week partiful and realizing it’s spiritually identical to begging a promoter for nylon wristbands at art basel… capitalism really unites us and honestly #respect
