introducing shapes.inc - a place for you to collaborate with your friends and ai agents
most agents are built for single player, we have built multiplayer agents from the ground up
you’ll meet shapes on our app - they are your group assistants to help with date nights, weekend trips, birthdays, study groups, coworking sessions... for anything that needs other people

group alignment requires a different paradigm for permissions. our agents have their own identities and space in the chat.
shapes come with agentic social memories - if ur planning a surprise for ur partner, they won’t go ask for permission to share their schedule or what they like
we are reimagining what agentic friends can look like

I’d rather shoot for 100x and possibly fail than aim for 2x and guaranteed win

Play the long game. When you think in decades rather than quarters, you’ll see that your potential customers have trajectories, not fixed sizes.

the greatest minds of our generation have had enough time away from ads. it’s time to return all these “researchers” back to where they belong: ads. there is no greater alignment than shareholder value.

we need to go from personal assistants to multiplayer assistants
agents that care about helping us be more human
not just do everything for us and leave us feeling isolated
Affirm CEO @mlevchin says removing humans from shopping entirely would be "a loss to humanity."
"It's very clear we'll all have agents doing our chores for us."
"I happen to believe that quite a lot of shopping isn't actually a chore. In fact, it's a form of entertainment."
"So human in the loop will not just be a requirement, it will be a loss to humanity if we're not allowed or if we're not participating in some of the shopping choices."

agent to agent communication as a form factor for multiplayer ai seems antithetical to me.
ai is alr isolating us and now even when there’s an instance that requires other humans… you want to eliminate that human connection?
the future i want to see is ai & humans living tg

idc what anthropic or openai thinks is good for me, but that's all the models care for

we have been researching multiplayer for last 4 years. you can't just bolt it on 😭
3 hard learned principles
1/ earn trust of the group thru continuous learning
2/ be an equal actor in the group not a pet who is constantly scared
Told my Instinct to reach out to my bf's Instict to plan a surprise.
This is what his Instict texted him 🤪

i wrote this paper 5 years ago where i cited him. hire me!
notes from @sapinker’s talk:
- social relationships are coordination games
- ads work by generating common knowledge
- communication is for sharing information while playing out coordination games
we’re hiring a cognitive scientist to focus on these exact dynamics - msg me!
