Every business has one person everyone goes to for answers.

The AI project worth doing first is getting what that person knows into one place while they're still around.

FAQ: Why Company AI Brain if I can just MCP connect all my tools.

Connecting Claude through MCPs gives you search.

It still can't tell which source holds the right answer.

A company brain does that sorting once, so Claude starts from what matters and gets it right faster.

Nobody adopts AI because of a big IT transformation pitch.

They adopt it when it fixes the one annoying thing in their week.

Always start with one core problem.
Bottom-up, problem by problem.

@philmorle is a partner at Main Sequence, a deep tech VC fund.

One skill now drafts each portfolio company's quarterly valuation review. The investors make the call.

What stuck with us: "That whole thing takes half an hour, not hours and hours and hours."

Measure twice, cut once is old.

The new theorem: measure twice, cut ten times.

With AI you can cut, look, and recut in minutes.
The job is still to gather the context, but then iterate fast, instead of trying to get the first cut perfect.

Avg vibe coders be like 😂

If you're starting a company today, design it for how AI-native work will look in 10 years 👇

The complete and utter domination of Opus 5.5 is hard to put into words.

I charted out the split of Codex vs Claude in T3 Code over time. Never seen anything like this before.

[Hourglass AI @thehourglassAI]

@philmorle is a partner at Main Sequence, a deep tech VC fund. He was building most of the firm's AI skills himself.

Together we built the MSV brain. Their quarterly valuation work went from 1-2 weeks to half a day.

What stuck with us: "It's a manifest reduction in time."

We're running an AI room for VCs, Tue 10 Nov and Mon 16 Nov, 3:30pm AEDT, online. Seats: https://t.co/ATYw4eCnVl

[⚡️ Batko @batkomichael]

AI companies might not need VC funding.

Bootstrapping is suddenly possible >> power shifts back to the founder >> valuations skyrocket.

Invest at 100 mil and even a billion dollar company is only a 10x.

I need you guys to understand that being “against AI” like as a stance is like saying you’re against the Industrial Revolution

[Brian Lui @brianluidog]

How good is it that Australia has @JosephNWalker? He's basically Australian Dwarkesh, but more objective. I stopped subscribing to The Economist and Foreign Affairs because his stuff is just better.

We should keep it a secret though. Too much alpha there.

I don't want Australia to get left behind on AI.

Anybody can jump on AI. You're just as good as the next person talking to it.

But behaviour change is the hardest thing.

Chatted it through with @DexterCousins on Fintech Chatter. @thehourglassAI

[Finlay @finlayekins]

In the near future, AI will be handling 90%+ of work inside a business. Humans will provide the taste, creativity and emotional inputs.

The companies already setting themselves up like this are destroying everyone else right now👇
