Project LUCI is our research blueprint to make AI agents and physical AI to see, remember, and act on your digital and physical life across every device.
It has two parts, one is LUCI Pin, a wearable camera that records physical life; and the other is LUCI desktop that records everything on your computer and form them to visual memories.
LUCI Desktop research preview access is live👉 https://t.co/Y3jdZokIMU
This initiative is powered by @memories_ai, backed by @Microsoft.
Working in tech is a privilege, and the road ahead should be joyful.
On June 9, @crane_vc is hosting FESTIVAL: a day at Cavallo Point to step back from the hype and reflect on what we’re actually building. Real dialogue, unfinished ideas, and a focus on the people behind the code. We're excited to hear from @jamesdacombe from @OLIXComputing and @CoMind_, @kenneth0stanley from @LilaSciences, @erishabh from @Pavo_AI and so many more!

We're thrilled to announce @crane_vc's expanded partnership into Asia-Pacific with MassMutual Ventures. This means $450 million of capital across new investments and portfolio will be overseen by Crane, significantly strengthening our global support for early-stage founders in Europe and APAC.
Since 2015, we've backed remarkable companies across post-quantum security, robotics, infrastructure software/tools, and AI systems.
We believe in early conviction and long-term commitment – being "first to believe, last to leave." This partnership reinforces that commitment, now with even greater reach and deeper insights to help founders scale.
A huge thank you to all our founders, LPs, team and supporters.
