Please write up a brief handoff document describing everything we've tried and what we are attempting to achieve so I can pass it along to another agent

@theadampetty ayyyy made the list again 😄

@Currin_Charlie @sazabi @robcgiani just sent

[Mark Philip Helsel @MarkHelsel]

New work for @sazabi. Directed by me & @robcgiani. VFX by me.

[Sherwood @shcallaway]

We raised $8m to build self-healing software.

In 2026, software moves fast.

But monitoring and observability are still manual and slow.

@sazabi is a next-generation observability platform for fast-moving engineering teams.

Not another AI SRE.

Not another LLM observability tool.

A new, general solution to observability that works for any workload (including agents) and leverages AI for maximum speed and automation.

Time to suit up.

[Sherwood @shcallaway]

@MarkHelsel @robj3d3 @sazabi The very best

[Mark Philip Helsel @MarkHelsel]

@robj3d3 @shcallaway @sazabi that was us. push record. directed + vfx in house

New work for @runlayer. Directed by me.

[Andy Berman @berman66]

Today, we’re announcing Runlayer has raised $30M from Felicis and Khosla Ventures to help companies go all in on AI.

Runlayer is the golden path for AI: enablement, security, and control in one platform.

So, how does it give your team the right tools for AI? 🧵

[Mark Philip Helsel @MarkHelsel]

It was really excellent getting to direct this video for the @reactorworld. Using Ai gen instead of Unreal on the LED wall really opened my eyes to some new capabilities and those petzval lenses were 🧑‍🍳

[reactor @reactorworld]

Today Reactor is coming out of stealth. We’ve raised $59M in Seed and Series A funding, led by @lightspeedvp, with participation from @AmplifyPartners, @wndrco, @Sky9Capital, and @FPVventures.

Reactor is the platform for building in the World Model era: the infrastructure that lets developers build with them at global scale for the first time. Stream from a frontier World Model to your app, in real time, all in under 10 lines of code.

World Models represent the next major shift in AI: pixels, audio and actions are generated on the fly, in real-time, in response to user inputs, and to the environment. Every time computing has made a shift from passive to interactive, entire industries appeared that didn't exist before. We're standing in front of such moment again.

Over the last 6 months, we’ve assembled an all-star team with alumni from Apple, Meta, Google, Luma AI, Netflix, and Replicate. We're already partnering with some of the biggest names and labs in the world, and hundreds of developers are already building on Reactor.

The World Model era starts now.

Absolute pleasure working with the @JudgementLabs team to bring this video to life! Brilliant team, super exciting product!

[Alex Shan @alexshander03]

We’re launching @JudgmentLabs today and announcing $32M in funding.

As AI agents take on more of the work that creates economic value, they generate massive amounts of production data: the clearest record of how they behave with users, software, and the real world.

Judgment builds infrastructure for improving AI agents from production data.

@jeremiahjw @onairosapp 🔥

[Mark Philip Helsel @MarkHelsel]

These VFX were a different beast but happy with how they turned out. Pleasure working on this piece. Congratulations @onairosapp on the launch!

Introducing Onairos.

Today, companies steal your data every second, lock it up, and use it to line their pockets.

But at what cost?

The cost is you.

Your data is used to power algorithms that hijack your mind with social media, doomscrolling, rage, and endless consumption.

[Mark Philip Helsel @MarkHelsel]

@BlasianHokage Congrats on the launch! Glad we got to work on this together

@robcgiani Please tell me you made yourself available

[Mark Philip Helsel @MarkHelsel]

@robcgiani @meshoptical @ThriveCapital This is killer!

[Mark Philip Helsel @MarkHelsel]

@a16z As a daily eleven labs user, I'm so honored to get to collaborate on this one! Digging through the interviews and listening to the stories was an absolute pleasure
