Founder, Gythr → event infra that doesn't suck. Building in public. Program Experience @GauntletAI. 🖤

Genuine cool even to someone as non-technical as I am… so many downstream and parallel applications this can apply too!

Everybody knows AI has broken all of the old methods of assessment we all used to use; AI is better at Leetcode than you are anyways.

So we've been trying to build something far better than the old-school interview at Gauntlet AI, mostly for ourselves, and can be used for both assessment and training.

I just got the first demo. It's very cool.

It's an entire company simulation.

You get dropped in a new company with various docs and systems, stakeholders on chat with different roles, pieces of info, and different personality types. You might be missing information you have to gather, there are critical decisions you have to make, poorly implemented product you have to decide when to work around and decide when to replace, and deadlines to hit (or even push back on).

We can see how someone responds, what their strategy is, how they handle stakeholders, how they use AI to analyze and break down problems, what they end up shipping... everything.

I'm very excited.

I cold-messaged someone on LinkedIn about my software a few months ago.

No connection.
No introduction.
No response.

I sent another email, last week. Booked a meeting!

Yesterday I sent them a one-pager, a demo login, and a walkthrough video.

I hit send at 4:59 PM. Their meeting with their executive team started at 5:00.

One minute.

Today I got this. 👇

[REBECCA METTERS @heybeccabuilds]

I’m damn proud of myself today.
If you’re pre-revenue, unfunded, unknown and still going…keep going.

Your two-sentence email is coming.

[REBECCA METTERS @heybeccabuilds]

Domain expertise, curiosity, grit, steady determination.

Those win. Every time.

I know this industry because I’ve lived in it. You can’t hire that. You can’t co-found your way into it.

[REBECCA METTERS @heybeccabuilds]

@ashtilawat @gauntletai 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Proud to be apart of helping make sure this next work is strong and adds value

Nearly everyone is spending WAY too much on AI tokens because they’re defaulting to the most powerful frontier model.

This was a massive (and extremely expensive) problem for us at Gauntlet AI, but WE SOLVED IT.

And we’re making it available to all. We call it TokenSwitch.

I’m excited and honored to be one of the first speakers for the Women + AI Smart Dinner Party in Austin on August 3.

One of my favorite things about AI isn’t just the technology, it’s watching everyday people figure out how to use it to make their work, businesses, and lives better. That’s exactly what this evening is about.

We’ll be talking AI, entrepreneurship, leadership, creativity, and the very real ways people are putting these tools to work today.

I also don’t want cost to be the reason someone misses out.

✨ I’m sponsoring 2 seats for women who genuinely want to attend but can’t comfortably afford a ticket. No awkward application just send me a DM and tell me why you’d love to be there. If the seats are still available, they’re yours.

You can also directly get a ticket at the link in the comments 🔗 💬

Hope to see some familiar (and new) faces around the table. ❤️
