"AI will reduce your bottom line and stablecoins will ultimately increase your top line."
@kvreem saw this coming early.
He positioned @EntendreAI to build FOR stablecoin native companies, instead of building one himself. As stablecoins began to solve real problems, the winners would grow into massive businesses onchain with complex books to close.
So he built the accounting tooling those companies would need to scale.
Before Entendre, he built cash management systems at Workday, then joined WeWork at peak valuation, where 300+ accountants couldn't keep up with the accounting at scale.
When ChatGPT launched, he founded Entendre with his brother Omar and designer Andy, and the three of them built AI accounting software for some of the fastest growing organizations in the world. They built agents to automate stablecoin and digital asset accounting for companies like Polygon Labs, Brale, Courtyard, and Babylon Labs.
In the last 12 months, their customers have raised over $1 billion in venture capital.
Last month @moonpay acquired the company to power the financial operations layer of the stablecoin economy.
His bet: by 2030 half the accountants will have retired, every dollar moving onchain still has to land in a ledger, and agents are how the books get kept.

Episode 0052. Presented to you by @altitude
"AI will reduce your bottom line and stablecoins will ultimately increase your top line."
@kvreem was a software engineer at WeWork when over 300 accountants couldn't keep up with the accounting at scale. He founded @EntendreAI with a three-person team, automated stablecoin accounting for companies like Polygon Labs, Brale, and Rain, and @moonpay just acquired the company.
In this conversation, Kareem explains why 50% of accountants will have retired by 2030, and what that means for how every business in the world manages money.
Stableminded Ep. 0052 premiering live on today's stream, brought to you by @altitude
@EntendreAI isn’t competing with traditional accounting tools.
We’re competing with Claude, MCP, spreadsheets, scripts, and AI-native finance operators stitching workflows together themselves.
We have to be faster and more useful than going straight to the model.
Don is exactly who we build for. Agents do the work. Great finance operators trust but verify at speed.
Accounting agents are only as effective as the setup layer behind them.
Before agents can categorize transactions, reconcile activity, or handle bookkeeping workflows, they need clean access to the source systems.
That’s why we built client integration requests for accounting firms into @EntendreAI.
it's a claude code MCP plugin and works with twitch, youtube, and kick out of the box. twitch chat needs zero config.
open source, MIT licensed:
https://t.co/zbhi7GpQZF
next up: viewer counts, stream titles, and sending chat messages from the terminal.
built the entire thing with claude code in one session. @AnthropicAI@bcherny@trq212 would love feedback on the plugin!
the real reason i built this:
when claude is thinking for 30-60 seconds, i'd open youtube or twitch in another window. then 5 minutes later i realize i completely forgot claude finished.
now the stream lives inside my terminal. when claude responds, i see it immediately. background entertainment without context switching.
full slash command control:
/claude-cast pause
/claude-cast mute
/claude-cast volume 30
/claude-cast layout minimal
/claude-cast stop
or use hotkeys in the player pane — p to pause, m to mute, l to switch layouts, arrows for volume
the player runs in a tmux side pane with an animated audio waveform, live chat with colored usernames and badges, and 3 layout modes (compact, rich, minimal)
built with neo-blessed for the TUI, mpv for audio, streamlink for URL extraction, and twitch IRC for zero-config chat
just built claude-cast — a @claudeai code plugin that lets you stream twitch, youtube, and kick right inside your claude code session in your terminal
no browser. no alt-tab. audio + live chat in a side pane while you code.
/claude-cast swagg twitch
that's it. audio plays. chat scrolls. code continues.
This is insane, we truly live in the jungle.
The scenario of Iraq is repeated in Venezuela in order to seize oil, gas and minerals belonging to the Venezuelan people.
(1/3) 🚀 Our 5th agent reveal: Entendre Expense Agent integrated with @RainCards
💳 Rain is building stable coin infrastructure to power issuance, settlement, and spend, giving CFOs, finance and product teams access to 190 countries with the flip of a switch. Programmable money is fueling B2B volumes of $36 billion per year and card-linked transactions of $13.2 billion per year. Yet without agentic financial operations, rapid stable coin adoption will magnify FX risk, manual efforts, and reconciliation failures, especially as funds flow across networks, exchanges, and borders.
🤖 Entendre is the first mover at the intersection of agents and stable coin infrastructure. Our team is obsessed with deploying intelligence to finance teams with agents that do real work. See it in action below 👇
1/ Introducing Entendre’s Agent Marketplace: Our vision of the future of agentic accounting and finance. 🦄
