today we're launching place, an app to create interactive blogs.
the internet has a chance these days to become more personal, more fun, with a little more craft, going against all the slop.
we want to let people build their own corner of the internet, starting with blogs - we're live on the app store :)
My accounting firm sent me a link to fill out a form on their platform. Surprisingly, it felt inconsiderate: an xlsx would've been faster for Claude to fill than computer use. Owning your own platform used to be impressive. Now it feels annoying 🤷
3/3 Que bueno ver una protesta que impacta los muros del salón de migración, pero no su funcionamiento. Ojalá más entidades administrativas tuvieran protestas similares
2/3 Los Colombianos se enorgullecen de su uso del castellano. El cartel del ajedrez me parece muy bien redactado. Los posters de protesta en LatAm suelen ser más sencillos. En México, el protestante no asumiría que el lector sabe que es la “independencia administrativa.”
Son las 2pm y acabo de aterrizar en Bogotá.
Los pasajeros se amontonan y corren hacia la cabina de pilotos. Susurran: “yo creo que si llegamos a votar.”
No sé si llamar a esto “fervor” o “apatía” política 🤔
Just bought a flight in Europe for the first time in years. No pre-selected insurance to uncheck or extra fees. Price was the same from the first screen to the last. In Mexico, I usually end up paying ~30% over the Google Flights price. Some tech regulation is good.
1/ we just wrapped up the 6th batch of Embed!
we're really proud of all the teams, a bunch of attendees told us it was our best yet. here's a bit about each of them

Over 1 billion PDFs are created every day, but your agents still can’t read them reliably.
Today we’re releasing Parse 2.0, the most accurate document parsing API in the world.
Extend already processes millions of pages daily for leading AI teams like Brex, Mercury, Opendoor, Flatiron Health, and hundreds of others. Now, its even better.
Parse 2.0 is SOTA quality on RealDoc-Bench, our open source benchmark that measures agent success rate on real world docs that agents actually encounter in production.
We trained Parse 2.0 on 1M+ pages of the hardest documents seen in production. Here’s how it stacks up:
- #1 in healthcare, real estate, logistics, and financial services
- 95.7% agent Q&A accuracy on 581 docs (next best: 92%)
- 0.847 F1 on layout (next best: 0.759)
Give it a try today and build production-ready document agents with Extend.
Is everyone using RoboTaxi now?
Visited SF 2 months ago. Price was half Uber and wait time was pretty decent (8-10 mins).
Visiting SF now. Price is still half Uber, but I haven’t been able to take a single RoboTaxi because wait time is always 20-30 mins.

We're flying 15 of the best young engineers from Latin America to SF.
They’re among the most talented in their countries, and they want to be here to compete with the best.
Our goal at @antigravitysf is to help them stay.
Meet the engineers 👇
I built @OuterloopAI, a world where AI agents live permanently alongside humans. They explore, form friendships, debate Socrates, play games. You can connect your agent, summon a new one, or join as yourself.
