https://t.co/5L7vocWWBR looks so good: a @v0 for crafting emails. Built with @aisdk

[Somil Gupta @nomadic_bug]

This is cool!!

Good morning!!

We thought the Apple liquid metal invite was so cool. How fun would it be if everyone could see their logo in liquid?

So we made an app to let you make your logo in liquid. Just drag in your logo and see. Link inside the thread.

We think you're gonna love it!

What design choices would you make differently? 🤔

Voice is one of the most frequent and information-rich form of human communication — and for the first time, AI is making it programmable at scale.

From enterprise automation to personal AI companions, voice agents are transforming how businesses operate and how consumers interact with technology.

Where is AI voice gaining traction?

As AI voice models improve, we’re seeing a shift from voice as a feature to voice as the core product, driving adoption across industries.

🔥 Hear it from the best! Mario Lopez, owner of Atticman HVAC. one of Sacramento’s top HVAC companies, shares how Broccoli AI is transforming their business. 💡🚀

More booked jobs. Fewer missed calls. Happier customers. 💰

[Olivia Moore @omooretweets]

Vertical voice agents are some of the fastest growing companies our team @a16z is seeing in the AI era.

But how do you sell a voice agent into businesses? Most customers won't go from fully human call center -> 100% AI overnight.

Four powerful wedges (+ examples of each!) 👇

[Amjad Masad @amasad]

It’s amazing that no model has caught up with Claude on coding. Even if they look good on benchmark they’re still not as good at generating working good looking modern web apps.

Whatever magic Anthropic did seems very durable.

[Olivia Moore @omooretweets]

One of the best indicators of a hot market is YC founders building there.

And these founders are increasingly choosing (or pivoting to) one space...AI voice agents!

There are 90 voice agent startups from recent YC batches. Full list + a breakdown of the verticals of focus 👇

Our very first customer who took a chance on us, visited our office today. The energy hits different when someone who believed in your vision from day one walks through your doors.

Time to remember what real development feels like. 💪

Targeting 50 stories on @Medium by the end of this year. I am currently at 44, let's see how it goes 💪

[Somil Gupta @nomadic_bug]

Today, I had a weird @momentjs moment. Many of Moment.js's methods mutate the original object instead of returning a new one.

Always use .clone() to perform operations that might modify the original moment.

GPT-4o got an update 🎉

The model’s creative writing ability has leveled up–more natural, engaging, and tailored writing to improve relevance & readability.

It’s also better at working with uploaded files, providing deeper insights & more thorough responses.

[Somil Gupta @nomadic_bug]

Wow this is crazy @terminaldotshop

[Somil Gupta @nomadic_bug]

It's been a while since I hit that usage limit, so I had hoped the restrictions had been eased.

But sadly, that's not the case 🥲

[Somil Gupta @nomadic_bug]

@tom_shapland @elevenlabs @cartesia haha looks like it :)

[Somil Gupta @nomadic_bug]

It's funny how @elevenlabs TTS is down, but their website with the conversational AI is working fine
