ChatGPT’s analysis of my 2025 is… piercingly on-point 😅

Extra special thanks to @StevoLoughlin and @varungupta for believing in @RyanAtallah & I since the very beginning. Couldn’t have asked for better partners!

Announcing the next chapter: @SpindleAI has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by @Salesforce, accelerating the @Agentforce roadmap and strengthening the future of enterprise AI for millions of global users. 🤖

This is a great outcome for our team & investors. 🙏 When my cofounder Ryan and I launched Spindle in late 2021 to deliver #AI-native business analytics and scenario intelligence for the Fortune 500, no one (not even us!) fully anticipated how transformational #agents & AI-native data models like ours would be.

But with the support of…

🛠️ The smartest, most creative, and most devoted team I’ve ever had the privilege of working with

🏦 Backing from top-percentile investors like @Accel and others across Sand Hill

🧙World-class advisors like ex-@GoldmanSachs CTO Dr. Paul Walker, ex-@DeutscheBank CTO Kim Hammonds (who I miss dearly), ex-Adaptive Insights founder Rob Hull, and ex-@Sequoia partner Bob Cohn

🤖 Visionary customers, from @IBM @Apptio to @1Password and beyond

…sci-fi has become sci-fact! 🚀 Joining #Agentforce will kick Spindle AI’s journey to the next level.

I’m deeply grateful for my co-founder @RyanAtallah. Ever since we bonded in high school, he has always been not just the hardest-working leader I know, and not just the most thoughtful, but also the most loyal & trustworthy. Find a cofounder like that: their traits are echoed in the organizations they build, and the teams they invest in.

Uncountable thanks to the many dear friends, teammates, and colleagues, who have worked so hard to make this journey the privilege of a lifetime. 🙏

Most of all: a lifetime’s thanks to my wife Seda and Ryan’s wife Ashly. Without their incredible support, sacrifices, and contributions, none of this would have been possible. 🤍

My life’s mission has been machine learning that augments human cognition. With the acquisition of Spindle AI, that mission continues at Agentforce: https://t.co/dVGVcokP4g

Salesforce has signed a definitive agreement to acquire @SpindleAI, a leading agentic analytics platform.

The acquisition brings aboard deep expertise in multi-agent systems and high-performance data applications to accelerate Agentforce: https://t.co/XkFI4E1tvz

One of the most thoughtful yet simple examples I’ve seen of LLM-driven analytics – intelligent heatmaps of @GitHub code review diffs: https://t.co/2jtmn2cVoV

Excited to see more of these concepts out in the wild! Nice work, @ManaflowAI.

Learn to ship. Shipping is a skill distinct from coding. Shipping is designing, coding, QAing, story-telling, teaching, marketing, selling, pivoting, iterating…

It used to be that coding dominated in importance because of coding ability scarcity. AI will push you to go further.

Happy to announce that https://t.co/zFwsg2tDeD has accepted an invitation to become a @Microsoft AI Cloud Partner!

As former @GoldmanSachs CTO and enterprise #AI leader Dr. Paul Walker notes, “Spindle has uniquely delivered agentic AI for our hardest planning and business analytics problems, and I’m thrilled to see this technology become more accessible to Microsoft’s ecosystem of customers.”

With contributors from both @MicrosoftAI and @SpindleAI having been at the forefront of #agents since their respective early work on the #GPT family of LLMs, we’re now opening the door to bring rigorous, agentic business analytics into the platforms enterprises already rely on — @Microsoft365 & @Azure.

“We’re proud that the trust of enterprises embodied in our stage-leading SOC 2 Type II attestation can now extend globally through Microsoft’s class-leading AI Cloud Partner program,” adds Spindle co-founder & AI leader @CarsonKahn, “giving customers confidence that agentic business analytics is secure, transformative, and enterprise-ready.”

👉 More big things ahead — find our teammates throughout @Workday’s #WDAYRising conference this week (https://t.co/1SesMZz2AJ) for a preview of what’s to come. If you’re attending, reply here so we can connect!

🚀 Introducing AI agents that make “self-driving” machine learning usable by anyone — no PhD required. A lifelong dream for me, launched in months… Demo below!

Forecasting, key driver analysis, predictions, tipping-point analysis, and anomaly detection now take minutes instead of weeks. 🤖

✨ To my knowledge, we’re the first team in the world to ship autonomous machine learning (AutoML) guided by an agent — or “agentic AutoML” — usable by anyone.

Genuinely in awe of the creativity, ingenuity, and grit every @SpindleAI teammate poured into making that possible. 🙏

With transparent, personalized explanations for “how”, “why,” and “what next,” the new agent also delivers actionable recommendations for setting & hitting business targets 🎯 based on patterns in your data.

From churn prediction & customer behavior forecasting, to pricing simulations & cross-sell targeting, beta customers are already sharing compelling use cases with us…

But most of all, I’m excited to see all the creative use cases YOU come up with: https://t.co/er40vSynC4

@tonsing My favorite piece of feedback on this so far was from @1Password: “[This agent] can model and optimize outcomes with incredible speed and clarity.” Very excited to see how their team and so many others apply this to new problems

@robinstewart Hopefully LESS “vibes” than how finance actually works today… Maybe we say “agentic finance” and call it a day 😅

[Carson Kahn @CarsonKahn]

@jeff_weinstein @stripe recently @stripe customers like @1password have publicly described success w/ our new agent for automating churn prediction/mitigation – no data scientist needed 🧮 here’s the live sandbox + churn demo video – would value your feedback: https://t.co/KHmvoRxuyG

@varungupta Well then it’s not a bar, it’s an asymptote ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@refactorordie Thanks! Same. The feedback we’ve gotten from early testers so far is super positive — when we can share their names & use cases publicly I’ll follow up here with the details!
