In a recent batch talk, YC General Partner @t_blom broke down how to build a self-improving, AI-native company.
He walks through how to create recursive, self-improving AI loops, and why founders who get this right will run companies that improve while they sleep.

You can 10x the quality of your AI videos by injecting as many non-AI elements as possible
It's easy to lap people who outsource all their thinking to AI by building a deep context bank of what's worked historically in traditional film
I started building a swipe file which includes:
- actual film work
- commercials that made me stop scrolling
- movie trailers that gave me chills
- random clips I couldn't look away from
This is a must have to get better scene ideas, sharper editing styles, understand pacin and actually directing AI instead of just prompting it
RT + comment "SWIPE" and I'll send over the file (must be following so i can dm)
i built a tool that allows me to clone the brain of any youtuberโฆ
i used it on alex hormozi so i can ask him business questions at 3am and get answers word-for-word like he'd give them
works with anyone: gary vee, naval, graham stephan, any creator in your niche
i put together:
- the tool that uploads entire channels automatically
- my 5-minute setup process
- prompt framework for answers that match their exact style

$24,000 per year from this simple AI Dentist Voice Agent
(and why I'm crazy for giving it away for free)
A dental practice was losing $6,000+ in revenue every month from missed after-hours calls.
That's 20-25 potential patients walking away because no one was available to book their appointments.
So I built an AI voice assistant that handles after-hours dental bookings 24/7 using n8n and ElevenLabs based on internal policies and scheduling availability.
Here's what this system does:
โ Answers calls with a natural-sounding AI receptionist
โ Collects patient information and insurance details
โ Checks calendar availability in real-time
โ Books appointments automatically
โ Logs all patient details to a Google Sheet
The result? This similar AI voice system was sold to a dental practice for $24k per year by another entrepreneur!!
This isn't just about dental practices. Any service business losing money from missed calls can implement a similar system.
