The Monaco Plane: Economics and Impact.
If you've been in SF over the last 10 days, you've likely seen the Monaco Plane flying around. I'm receiving countless messages asking about how expensive it is and if it's working.

Weโre bringing generative UI to everyone, free of charge, thanks to Google @Antigravity and the agentic coding capabilities of Gemini 3.5 Flash.

So @YouTube removed our product launch video of @Zedaio a startup I founded and own every asset of.
The logo was designed by us, the copy, the product, everything by the team.
The video was made by a vendor and we own all the rights to it.
And they did it just because some random ass email said it is copied.

So fired up to be backing Sam Blond and the team at Monaco.
If you know Sam you know he's special and that he was just made to build this company.
