Introducing @PoeticHQ: a new AI system that executes complex multi-hour tasks with 99%+ accuracy and 10x fewer tokens than agents.
We raised $50M at $500M from Kleiner Perkins, Founders Fund, First Harmonic, and Genius Ventures to build AI that does complex work inside Fortune 500 companies without hallucination.
While code is too brittle, agents are too unpredictable. The work that runs the global economy - anti-money laundering, fraud investigations, underwriting - needs extreme accuracy.
So we built a new kind of software that pairs the flexibility of AI with the predictability of code.
When the world stays the same, Poetic runs fixed code: fast, cheap, identical every time. When the world changes, Poetic uses AI to regenerate its approach and find its way back to the objective.
In one year, we went from zero to an eight-figure run rate as a team of four.
Since then, we’ve scaled the team and executed the highest-stakes processes at AIG, SoFi, and Chime. At SoFi, a large US bank, Poetic reached 99%+ quality on fraud investigations in five weeks.
Technological innovation can be a form of participation in the divine act of creation. It carries an ethical and spiritual weight, for every design choice expresses a vision of humanity. The Church therefore calls all builders of #AI to cultivate moral discernment as a fundamental part of their work—to develop systems that reflect justice, solidarity, and a genuine reverence for life.
Always loved the two slightly different versions of “Remember!” by Nicholas Roerich. The first was painted in 1924, when he lived in Darjeeling (as part of the “His Country” series), and the second in 1945, towards the end of his life.

I scraped every YC company with an "X for Y" description and generated every possible "X for Y" combination.
Some of my personal favorites:
- "Getting kids ready for government benefits"
- "Digital therapy for former Soviet Union countries"
- "Marketplace for non-experts"
“By contrast, classic Russian literature (which, when I was coming of age, remained the main source of romantic norms in my country), described succumbing to love as if it were a supernatural power, even when it was detrimental to comfort, sanity or life itself.”
“The Seventeen girl was trained for making decisions about whom to get intimate with. She rationalised her emotions in terms of ‘needs’ & ‘rights’, & rejected commitments that did not seem compatible with them. She was raised in the Regime of Choice...”

11. Two Comedians by Edward Hopper (1965)
The greatest ever final painting? This is a self-portrait of Hopper and his wife Jo, both in their eighties. They are the comedians taking one last bow before the end of the show.
Touching, peculiar, impactful, understated.
Patience and Fortitude, marble lions of the New York Public Library, commissioned in 1911 for $420,000 in today's dollars.
@Monumental_Labs could do this today for under $200k.
"Cost" is no no longer a reason not to build great things.
