What if AI agents could handle more of the digital work, so you could spend more time being human?

The promise of AI was never to replace people.

It was to create systems that help us navigate the digital world more efficiently, freeing us up to create, connect, build, and live.

That’s where AI agents come in.

Agents can help you organize ideas, brainstorm solutions, manage workflows, and move projects forward, giving you more time to focus on the work that only you can do.

At FYI, we believe AI should work alongside you, not the other way around.

Build agents that support your goals, amplify your thinking, and help turn ideas into action.

Today is the day to put your agent to work and make moves with FYI.

How many moving parts go into creating content?

Shoots to prep?
Assets to organize?
Edits, approvals, and deadlines moving fast?

And somehow it all ends up scattered across texts, folders, screenshots, and random notes. 💭

How can we ask the kids of the future to learn STEM if we haven’t learned it ourselves?

That question helped inspire @iamwill create https://t.co/wHEsGQXleE.

Built to show the next generation that you can create, innovate, and build a tech company, FYI started with a mission to rethink how we work, communicate, and collaborate.

FYI is a messenger you work on. A platform built for builders, creatives, and teams who need more than just chat. Send gig size files and images, collaborate in real time, and build alongside your community.

The future belongs to the people willing to learn, adapt, and create what doesn’t exist yet.

At FYI, we’re building tools for the next generation of problem solvers, creators, and innovators.

A conversation about creative collaboration in all its forms.
Because collaboration today isn’t just making something with another artist.
It’s building with your crew.

It’s training agents to help amplify your vision.

Sometimes collaboration is simply celebrating the wins of the people around you.

Tomorrow’s industries will come from the communities that have too often been overlooked.

When people have the tools to build their agentic selves, they can identify problems that have long been ignored and transform those challenges into ideas, industries, and new opportunities for the future.

The next breakthrough may not come from where the world expects. It may come from the people who understand the problem most deeply.

At FYI, our mission is rooted in empowering the people and communities that have too often been left out of the conversation, giving them the tools to create, innovate, and shape what comes next.

It’s Graduation Season 🎓
On the final day of https://t.co/Lg2sWYRvUf’s The Agentic Self, we caught up with students, collaborators, and guests to talk about where learning is headed next.

One thing became clear: the future of learning is no longer confined to one classroom, one teacher, or one path.
We learn through community. Through collaboration. Through creativity.

Through the people and ideas that challenge us to think differently.
Follow https://t.co/W0ElHC6p7r to explore how AI can unlock new ways to build knowledge together, exchange ideas in real time, and turn curiosity into creative collaboration.

The next generation of learning will be shaped by technology, culture, and human imagination working side by side.

The future isn’t about learning alone.

It’s about creating together.

What does the future of learning look like to you?

Before we build with AI, we have to define our intentions.

https://t.co/Lg2sWYRvUf reflects on the importance of checking our values and creating with human connection at the center, not just building for another digital platform.

Technology should bring us closer to understanding, empathy, and community, not further away from it.

The real question isn’t just what AI can do. It’s why we’re using it in the first place.

Grab your team, start a project in FYI, and define your intentions.

@iamwill imagined https://t.co/wHEsGQXleE after noticing how scattered the creative process had become across too many tools.

He started asking simple questions: why can’t you send large files through a messenger? Why are ideas, conversations, and assets all living in different places?

FYI is a messenger with generative AI at its core, where you can bring your ideas, conversations, and collaborators into one place, and build AI agents that reflect how you think, your tone, and your workflow—helping you brainstorm, create, and move projects forward in real time.

A better way to create and communicate.

Hear the story of how Memo cooked up “Memo Agent” in FYI.

Inspired by the idea of building an extension of himself, he shaped the agent’s voice around the tonality of his uncles, creating something that feels familiar and personal.

Now, Memo uses his agent to ideate, brainstorm, and support him as he builds his upcoming project.

With FYI, you can build agents of your own—tools that think with you, create with you, and grow alongside your ideas.

AI is bigger than entertainment.

Making songs with AI is fun.
It’s cool.
But that’s only a fraction of what’s possible.

@iamwill reframes what this moment really is. There are still countless problems in the world waiting to be solved and AI should be part of that mission.

AI doesn’t just create content.
It can create solutions.

Will breaks down how we risk thinking too small when we use powerful tools only for novelty, while bigger opportunities sit untouched.

Because the future won’t be defined by what AI can imitate.

It will be defined by what humans choose to solve with it.

Think bigger.
Build smarter.
