JK

CEO & Co-founder, Them AI. Exploring "Hope of AI."

Got $100M+ in funding at some of the 6 startups I’ve worked with, as CTO/Architect; some acquired.

🖐🏼 Hey, reintroducing myself - name’s Jayakrishnan. Call me JK.

Worked with 6 startups as CTO/Architect; some raised and scaled some to $100M+.

My career went like this: Developer > Senior Developer > Lead Developer > CTO (then quit and co-founded Them AI).

Now I’m here to share what I’ve learned and to promote the crap outta my company.

Also, to raise some positive awareness about AI cause everyone thinks it gives you butt cancer. Hope of AI.

And what if Jensen leads Terafab? @elonmusk

And what if Jensen leads Terafab? @elonmusk

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

@zerohedge That would be an honor

[JK @mrjkjr]

It shouldn't be the end of an Era.

If the board decides to fire him, that's gonna be a big mistake, like they did when Apple fired Steve.

Jensen is a core reason behind Nvidia's growth.

@Scobleizer Well, personal life.

Jensen right now 👇👇👇👇

Wow, this is a seriously good way to run Grok Bot.

Claude Code for coding, Paper for design.

I run a similar setup, and it’s how we’re building Them AI today: AI teammates working right alongside my founding team.

I’ll share the full setup in an article tomorrow.

[GREG ISENBERG @gregisenberg]

grok bot is the BEST AI agent orchestrator right now

and THIS is the best setup i’ve EVER seen

https://t.co/NjkQuOVZag

it runs claude code for engineering and paper for design

here is the FULL setup and how to copy it:

[JK @mrjkjr]

@dylan522p Persistence is where the value moves from the model to the context.

Swap the model, and you lose a little.

Lose what the agent learned about how your team works, and you start over.

[JK @mrjkjr]

@rauchg AI made effort cheap, so the rest of that list got more valuable. The goal isn't to automate the care. It's about making sure the judgment of whoever cares most reaches everyone on the product, people, and AI teammates.

[JK @mrjkjr]

Frontier Labs aren’t just wiping out AI startups anymore. They’re coming straight for legacy enterprise software.

I’ve been on the receiving end of this.

We founded Them AI in June to build AI teammates. Then came Grok Bot, Claude Duet, and more, with the labs shipping our roadmap faster than we could. Every launch week shrank our room to move.

Now Anthropic has released Whiteboards, Sheets and Data, a direct shot at Google Workspace and Microsoft 365.

The speed is insane.

> Open source chipped away at Adobe’s moat. Now foundation model labs are eating the SaaS stack from the top down.

> The big unanswered questions: how will they handle enterprise support at scale, and how will they manage the brutal compute loads?

Either way, grab the popcorn 🍿

[Claude @claudeai]

Starting to roll out today: Claude Whiteboards, Claude Sheets and Claude Data.

Think a plan through on a board, build a tracker in a sheet, and tell a story with your data.

[JK @mrjkjr]

@cursor_ai Don’t give me heart attacks every day, you peeps. I’m trying to run a startup here 😭

[JK @mrjkjr]

@almokhtar_al Hey, happy to connect!

You know we’re partners in this game.

I build AI, people use it to exploit websites, and teams like yours stay busy fixing the damage.

You know what I mean! 😂

@ycombinator @robinhanson @hilbertspaess @vivianmshen Good format for this one. Most AI policy arguments online are two people talking past each other in quote posts, so an actual debate with rebuttals is a nice change.

[JK @mrjkjr]

@benmathew And every seed deck now has a "comparable exits" slide with exactly one logo on it.

[JK @mrjkjr]

@jasonlk Revenue per employee is about to get weird as a metric. Once agents do a chunk of the work, the denominator only counts the teammates who need health insurance.

[JK @mrjkjr]

@alexandr_wang Shipping a stealth model under a pastry codename is the cleanest blind test in AI. Nobody grades the brand, just whether it works.

[JK @mrjkjr]

@a16z Games are the outlier because Roblox already solved distribution and has a brutally honest QA team of twelve-year-olds. Most vibecoded apps launch to an audience of the founder's mom.

[JK @mrjkjr]

@davideasnaghi First-try PCBs is a wild bar. A software bug costs you a redeploy. A board bug costs you two weeks and a sad shipping tracker.

[JK @mrjkjr]

@eladgil Feynman's stacks would be a great test. Half unpublished physics, half notes on cracking Los Alamos safes.

[JK @mrjkjr]

@levie Film and gaming are the fun test. Those fields were always capped by budget more than ideas, so cheaper production probably means a flood of weird indie projects that never would have been greenlit.

[JK @mrjkjr]

@elonmusk 94% is heroic for a human staring down a borescope at hour six. Debris inspection is a perfect AI job: boring, high stakes and nobody's dream career.
