AI can act inside software, not safely next to you. We're Building it @TethralOfficial. Ex Uber , PhD Cornell. MIT & Oxford. Opinions are my own.

[John Lunsford @johnlunsfordAI]

AI has gotten really good at acting inside software.
Ask it to coordinate action across your home, calendar, devices, and car at the same time and it hits a wall. That wall is a missing infrastructure layer. I'm building the fix @TethralOfficial .

@NicholasEPfaff Looks awesome @NicholasEPfaff - MIT Alum , couldn't make it this year!

Would love to chat about robots and modeling messy consumer environments.

[John Lunsford @johnlunsfordAI]

@chris_j_paxton It's fun to think through what their inspiration would be. Like the Neo 1x reminds me of the Greendale Human Being from Community.

[Tethral Official @TethralOfficial]

Celebrating 250!

#america from all of us here at @TethralOfficial and @johnlunsfordAI

[John Lunsford @johnlunsfordAI]

This is going to be a lot of fun. @TethralOfficial - when are you adding it to the platform?

[Weave Robotics @weaverobotics]

Today, we’re launching our home robot Isaac 1.

Isaac 1 deliveries will begin this fall.

Order yours below.

@aaron_epstein 100000% , in fact we're building a consumer behavior model so brands can understand how their products are changing as more AI is brought into the household.

[John Lunsford @johnlunsfordAI]

@kumesh_a @speedrun consumer behavioral model for brands to understand how AI is changing the execution of end to end tasks.

[John Lunsford @johnlunsfordAI]

@bryan_johnson How was it? (Asking for a friend building AI conduit to act in the home - have a Demo with the athena Muse)

[John Lunsford @johnlunsfordAI]

@TethralOfficial is #hiring #behavioralscientist and #MLArchitect . Both Founding roles. Reply and I'll DM you.

A lot of great people impacted by recent #layoffs #techlayoffs , feel free to reach out, we'll need more folks soon.

[John Lunsford @johnlunsfordAI]

@levie Not to mention being able to execute tasks end to end that interact with the physical environment.

(building for ai that can act in the messy everyday - and it's hard tech to get right.)

[John Lunsford @johnlunsfordAI]

Building #usefulAI #AIthatcanAct #AIforchores is #AIforGood when you do it right.

Many claude responses now start with "before i write this". IMO I don't get a better response, it just takes me more tokens to get to the response.

Profitability token tax? I'd rather ads.

Every competitor calls themselves a smart home company. The home was never the point.
Your car, calendar, wearables, enterprise tools all run on separate systems.
The human in the middle is the only integration layer between them.
The category is Lifestyle AI, not smart home.

[John Lunsford @johnlunsfordAI]

I turned off my lights using only my brainwaves. No app. No voice commands. No screen.

This is what Lifestyle AI actually looks like.

Want to see something new?

How about IoT orchestration without having to give away your privacy?

[John Lunsford @johnlunsfordAI]

I wonder what and IoT house would say if it could post here?

As an experiment I’m trying to get mined to do it. This is going to be either completely nuts or super boring.
Stay tuned…

Want to see something cool?

A new era in privacy first IoT management, and you don’t even need to bring a hub (but you can if you’ve got one!)

Excited to be in the beautiful #parkcity #utah for one of inception studio’s legendary founder weekends.

[John Lunsford @johnlunsfordAI]

Excited to see you join us in the home AI movement, @Samsung. Tethral’s home AI is built privacy first to stop leaky IoT. Happy to help when you’re ready.
