There are millions of businesses on Google Maps with no website.

People are manually pitching them by:
→ copying their Maps listing
→ pasting it into ChatGPT
→ generating a demo site
→ sending it as a free sample to close the deal

Humans will save the humanity.

GitHub is now routing traffic through AWS because AI coding agents broke its own infra — availability dropped to 88.4% in June vs. a 99.9% SLA. AI-opened PRs went 4M→17M in 6 months. The agent economy is outrunning the plumbing.

⚡️BREAKING: SPACEX TO ACQUIRE CURSOR IN $60 BILLION DEAL

Anysphere, the company behind the AI coding tool Cursor, will merge with SpaceX in an all-stock deal valued at $60 billion, per SEC filing.

Cursor reached $2 BILLION in annual revenue in just 3 years, making it the fastest-growing B2B company in history.

AI that thinks in India's own languages.

IIT Bombay is proud to present BharatGen to the world: Open, multilingual AI for India's languages and people, at Bharat Innovates 2026 in Nice, France (14–16 June).

BharatGen is built at IIT Bombay's Department of Computer Science and Engineering, led by Prof. Ganesh Ramakrishnan, with Rishi Bal (CEO) and Dr. Maneesh Singh (VP, ML) with a consortium of 9 premier academic institutions. A team of 60+ researchers, engineers and linguists are building AI that includes all scheduled Indian languages, across text, speech and documents.

-> Param2, its foundational text model with reasoning, coding, and tool calling capabilities works across all 22 scheduled Indian languages

-> Shrutam2, for automatic multilingual speech recognition/ STT across Indian languages

-> Sooktam2, a text-to-speech models with zero-shot voice cloning across Indian languages

-> Patram, a document vision model built for understanding Indian-specific documentation

BharatGen powers services in governance, healthcare, education, insurance, finance, and cultural preservation.

A national effort backed by DST and the IndiaAI Mission, BharatGen is India's push for open, homegrown AI, built for 1.4 billion people.

Dear @oneassist_in, I purchased the watch with your protection plan. Instead of allowing me to inspect the device first, you have opted for a 60% depreciation charge as reimbursement.

Furthermore, when I attempted to submit the necessary details, you are denying that my intimation was delayed. My wife has already raised the support through email but has yet to receive a response.

The most comprehensive Hermes Desktop tutorial on the internet NOW is LIVE.

You'll learn sessions, profiles, artifacts, cost savings, and real use cases for making money and building startups with Hermes agents.

Whether you're already running Hermes or haven't started yet, this is the episode for you.

@AlexFinn says this is the moment Hermes overtakes OpenClaw. S/o to Alex for walking me through it.

"It's now the best way to use AI agents on your computer"

I do think the desktop app of Hermes looks almost like an Apple product.

Everything you need to know about Hermes Desktop App/agents in 43 minutes

This episode is 100% free. No ads. @startupideaspod

I just want to see you win on the internet. And I think Hermes can help.

Plus, It's fun thing to play with this weekend. Share this with a friend. Link below.

Claude Code creator:

"I don't prompt Claude anymore. I write loops - and the loops do the work. My job is to write loops."

Claude Code + loops + dynamic workflow

Worth more than a $500 vibe-coding course

[Sid 🧑‍💻 @nerdysid]

This is going to be a game changer.

[cat @_catwu]

Excited to share our most powerful new Claude Code feature: dynamic workflows!

Mention "workflow" in a prompt and Claude will dynamically create an orchestration plan that it strictly follows, allowing you to confidently trust that every stage happens in the right order even across 100s of agents.

[Sid 🧑‍💻 @nerdysid]

Thanks for sharing the insight!

I just got back from SF and I FEEL INSPIRED.

I spent 5 days with frontier AI model teams, AI startup founders, and 3 billionaires.

My takeaways:

1. I had lunch with 3 billionaires. All of them are buying SaaS companies and rebuilding them agent-first. They were deeply inspired by Bending Spoons and Ryan Cohen's eBay deal. Buy the company, cut the headcount, rebuild the tech, add agents, add features, make more valuable experience, raise prices.

2. The frontier model companies are hungry for usage data from the field. They can see API calls and token counts. They can't see the actual workflows. If you're deep in a niche using these models in ways the model companies haven't seen, that understanding is incredibly valuable. Usage intelligence is the new alpha.

3. Consumer AI is massively underbuilt. Every billboard in SF is either B2B inference infrastructure or vertical agent companies. The entire city is optimized for enterprise. Meanwhile you have companies like Cal AI doing $50M ARR in 18 months as a consumer app. I met with a cool few teams doing consumer AI (@paulscherer / @ekuyda)

4. MCP came up in literally every conversation. The companies exposing their product as MCP endpoints are getting pulled into deals they never pitched for. The ones that aren't are becoming invisible to agents. This is the new SEO. If agents can't find you, you don't exist. Building products for agents is the new zeitgeist in general.

5. Not uncommon for hot seed rounds to be $25-50 million valuations. I saw a Series A at $450 million

6. If I had a dollar every time someone mentioned "forward-deployed engineer" this trip I could have funded a seed round. It's the hottest role in SF right now. The person who sits between the agent and the customer, making sure everything actually works.

7. The mood around open source shifted. A year ago it felt like open source was chasing the frontier models. Now founders are telling me Gemma and DeepSeek are good enough for 80% of what they need at a fraction of the cost. The "which model do you use" conversation is being replaced by "which model for which task." Model loyalty kinda feels dead.

8. Voice agents came up more than I expected. Multiple founders told me voice is the interface for the next billion users. The billion people who will never type a prompt will absolutely talk to one.

9. The Obsidian community in SF is weirdly intense. Multiple founders showed me their vaults unprompted. Like showing someone your home gym. It's a flex now. The quality of your knowledge base (second brain?) is becoming a status symbol among builders.

10. Maybe it was just the people I met but the age of the founders is shifting. I met more founders over 40 this trip than any trip before and more founders under age 21 than ever before. Founders getting older and younger at the same time.

11. I spoke to a lot of fast-growing startups, VCs and frontier models who are hiring content creators right now.

12. The restaurant scene in SF is actually better than it's been in years. Founders are going out more. Alcohol is out, not surprisingly.

13. SF doesn't feel like the only place anymore. We all have access to the same frontier models. We all read the same X feed. A founder in NYC or Lagos is calling the same APIs as a founder in SoMa. So in the past it felt like SF was always lightyears ahead, doesn't feel that way anymore. It's okay not to live in SF and have BIG DREAMS.

14. The coworking spaces in SF are half empty but the coffee shops are packed. People want to be around people. I had a few startup ideas here....

15. Walking around the Mission I noticed something: the street-level businesses, the taquerias, the barbershops, the laundromats, none of them use any AI at all.

16. I heard the phrase "agent debt" for the first time. Like technical debt but for agents. When you hack together an agent workflow fast and never clean it up, the system prompts conflict, the memory gets polluted, the tools overlap. 6 months later the agent is doing weird things and nobody knows why lol.

17. Met a few people who carry two phones now. One for personal. One that's basically an agent terminal running Telegram or iMessage connections to their agent fleet.

It's always amazing to get that dose of inspiration in SF. I FEEL INSPIRED.

But I'm so happy to be back home, locked in and building.

We're 12-18 months into a shift that will take 15 years to play out. The urgency in every conversation was real.

What an incredible time to be building.
