ThirdLayer

Self-improving intelligence built and improved on your organizational context.

[ThirdLayer @dexbythirdlayer]

four weeks before YC demo day, we killed what we'd been building. it had a 50% CMO response rate, but we couldn’t stop thinking about an idea that nobody had a name for yet…

10,000+ downloads later, that idea is Dex.

On the 1st ep of First Commit, @reggitales explains why she dropped out of Harvard, left a YC batch mid-pivot, and is now building Dex ��� a browser agent helping knowledge workers offload the manual layer of their day.

@reggitales @kevingu so much exciting stuff happening in this space

[Regina Lin @reggitales]

If you're into continual learning, RSI, or self-optimizing agents, come to Intent this Friday in SF.

3 technical talks from the founders of Vmax, Trajectory, and Thirdlayer on closing the training loop in production:

@kevingu (CTO, @dexbythirdlayer) is covering context architecture for capturing organizational diffs, post-training on custom context, and a meta-harness that hill-climbs overnight.

@rronak_ (CEO, @trajectorylabs) will cover why GRPO collapses trajectory feedback into a scalar and loses signal, and how SDPO fixes this with a privileged teacher that distills richer supervision into the student. Live at Harvey, Clay, Decagon, Mercor.

@matthewjsargent (CEO, @VmaxAI) will cover why single-agent self-play self-calibrates (the proposer converges to tasks it can already solve) and how PopuLoRA fixes this with co-evolving teacher + student LoRA adapters on a shared frozen base.

Fri Jul 31, 6pm. Open Q&A after the talks.
Cohosted with @shaheersan and @SusaVentures

@shaheersan @reggitales @kevingu @rronak_ @Lily_Pxng so excited for Friday!

[Shaheer @shaheersan]

Most agents are static once deployed. Trained once, frozen, and brittle outside their training distribution.

We’re bringing together researchers and builders working on systems that keep learning, decompose problems into reusable pieces, and improve their own reasoning over time. Talks are from @kevingu CTO of Thirdlayer, @rronak_ CEO of Trajectory, @matthewjsargent CEO of Vmax followed by open Q&A.

@Sarah___Fan @reggitales @zjearbear Shoutout to @Lily_Pxng for the energetic presentation of 🧠 food

[ThirdLayer @dexbythirdlayer]

If your writing still sounds like AI slop, the problem isn’t the tool. It's you.

The best founders have trained their AI on exactly how they write. Down to when to use "!!" vs ":)" and different email structures and cal links for hiring vs sales.

Dex builds this automatically from your actual context -- your relationships, history, workflows, and the thousands of decisions across your apps.

Comment "write-like-me" for the prompt.

@dexbythirdlayer is hiring MTS.

Our CTO hates posting but goes viral anyway.

His 2nd post ever was AutoAgent. 3.5M views, 4.5k stars, 500 forks.

So, my intern spent all day forcing @kevingu to write this hiring post. Enjoy :)

Telegram integration is live! If you're in crypto, trading, or just running serious comms through Telegram, you know that managing chats used to be completely unscalable.

Now, Dex has 35 tools that allow it to read, search, and act on Telegram. No more leads going cold, questions getting buried, and context getting lost in an endless scroll of messages.

[Regina Lin @reggitales]

We're hiring a multi-hyphenate product designer with impeccable taste and technical depth.

Current UI models no longer work for AI agents. Every interface was designed for a world where humans did the execution. Now that agents handle the execution, interfaces now serve as channels for intent and negotiation.

Nobody’s designed these primitives yet.

If you want to be at the frontier of defining what this next generation of UI actually looks like, DM me with your work.
