I don't know if it's AGI but I think we've gotten to the point where the average human make more mistakes than the average frontier model AI agent

How to become a top 1% speaker, in 1 page, whether you're on a panel or anywhere else

I find it fascinating how many people think this is a bad time to start a company. Grok 4.7, GPT-6 Sol/Luna, Opus 5.5, Astra, Gemini 3.8 Live, Muse, Instinct, Jev, Agent APIs etc. That's the last 3 weeks (crazy progress on personal agents/voice AI). Because arbitrage means the same thing trades at 2 prices in 2 markets (and it's your wedge). And usually you have to hunt for those gaps, because they're rare and they close the moment anyone notices. What's different now is that they're opening faster than anyone can build into them! I think this has got to be the greatest time for arbitrage in history.

The personal agent is about to become the most valuable piece of software real estate since the iPhone home screen.

1 HOUR MASTERCLASS ON HOW TO WRITE WITH AI (from someone who's made $30M+ writing online)

Email, phone numbers, and marketplaces are about to get destroyed When everyone has Muse, Instinct etc doing their errands, every inbox, phone line, marketplaces etc gets hit by millions of agents at once The channels built for humans are going to break/be reinvented.

10 Jev native products I’d build, ranked by how much fast, cheap decisions change the product: 1. Agent spend firewall Before every purchase, Jev returns approve/review/deny plus a confidence score based on price, vendor, user rules and purchase history. 2. Self-healing tool calls After an API error, Jev chooses retry, wait, change parameters, switch providers or escalate. So now you have agents that recover from failure in milliseconds instead of restarting the entire workflow. 3. Irreversible action detector Jev scores every step by reversibility before the agent sends an email, deletes a file, moves money or changes permissions. You get aggressive automation for safe actions and human approval for consequential ones. 4. Dynamic permission engine Instead of giving an agent permanent access, Jev decides which tool, data and spending limit it receives for each task. So now all of a sudden, you get temporary, task-level permissions for enterprise agents. 5. Agent branch pruning An agent generates 20 possible next steps. Jev scores them in parallel and kills weak branches before expensive reasoning begins. Deeper agent planning at a fraction of the cost! 6. Production incident controller Jev reads logs, deploy history, affected customers and service health, then chooses ignore, rollback, restart, page or investigate. Someone like pager duty should build this because it's automated incident response that reacts before an engineer opens Slack. 7. Live negotiation policy During a sales, procurement or collections conversation, Jev decides whether to discount, counter, hold firm, offer terms or escalate. Reminds me of Clulely. 8. Autonomous refund desk Jev evaluates order history, customer value, fraud signals, item cost and policy, then returns approve, reject or review. Finally, instant refunds for good customers and focused review for risky cases. Note: I'll be adding more Jev related ideas to Ideabrowser.com and our agency latecheckout.agency builds the biggest agentic products 9. Realtime marketplace dispatch For every request, Jev chooses the provider using location, price, quality, availability, cancellation risk and customer preferences. Big problem is that marketplaces need to rematch supply continuously as conditions change. 10. Confidence based human queues Jev scores every agent decision and sends only uncertain, expensive or irreversible cases to a person. One person can now supervise thousands of autonomous workflows. LLMs generate possibilities. Jev chooses what happens next. The next generation of software will need both.

Jev is HERE and this is the CLEAREST explanation of what it is and what NEW businesses it unlocks. (and at the end I'll tell you how to get Jev even if you're on the waitlist) WHAT IT IS You know how you open your inbox and have to decide what's junk, what needs a reply, and what can wait? Jev does that part. It looks at each thing and says "this is junk, I'm 94% sure." It doesn't write anything back to you. It just sorts. 1,700 emails for 18 cents, instantly. That sounds kinda trivial but the important part WHAT IT UNLOCKS My explanation of Jev sounds small until you realize HOW MANY jobs are exactly this. Someone reading a stack of applications. Someone deciding which support ticket goes to which team. Someone looking at inbound and deciding who's worth calling back. A few ideas on what it unlocks: 1/ Instant quotes that are actually instant. Every quote form on the internet says "we'll email you by end of day." Build the version that answers in under a second, for roofers, movers, insurance, legal intake. 2/ Lead scoring as a product. Every agency and service business has a contact form full of junk. Score every submission and send the real ones straight to the owner's phone. 3/ Support triage for companies with no support team. The ticket gets classified and routed before anyone opens it. 4/ Clipping tools. Pass in a transcript, get the best moments scored in three seconds. Every clipping product just got a cheaper engine. 5/ Application piles. Grants, permits, insurance claims, job apps, loan docs. Someone reads that stack one item at a time today. 6/ Marketplace matching. Someone types what they need and gets matched to the right local business instantly instead of waiting for callbacks. 7/ Browser agents that actually move FAST. That makes bulk browser work practical: pulling quotes from five carriers, filing the same form for 200 clients, checking supplier inventory in real time etc. TLDR; find an expensive queue and put Jev at the front of it. HOW TO GET IT I didn't realize you can skip the waitlist because Jev is live on the Vercel AI Gateway right now, so you can start calling it today. In this episode, we share how. Episode now live on @startupideaspod (thanks to @ryanvogel for coming on and spilling the sauce today) Watch: piped.video/watch?v=4mTLpuQp… Jev is a big deal because this is a whole new way to do AI Really cool Happy Jev day.

I think we'll see 5x the number of people become hardware and robotics founders over the next 18 months Why? Because you can rent every step, from design to manufacturing: DESIGN - Astra to drive Blender, FreeCAD, and KiCad the way a person would, so you get editable geometry instead of a dead render. Zoo dot dev's text to CAD API if you want it programmatic. - Or have Claude write build123d code, which is Python parametric CAD, and there's a Claude Code plugin that runs it and exports the STL for you. PROTOTYPE - Bambu A1 mini is $299, P1S around $399 on sale. Or skip owning one, JLC3DP prints and mails it for about $20. PCBWay does resin, SLS, and CNC if plastic won't cut it. ELECTRONICS - KiCad for the board, Astra can drive it. JLCPCB fabricates and assembles, often under $100 for a small run. ESP32 for wifi, Raspberry Pi if it needs a brain. ANYTHING THAT MOVES - Unitree sells a Go2 with a full SDK for about $2,500. - Hugging Face put out a $399 open-source biped. - LeRobot gives you the whole train in sim, deploy to real pipeline, and Physical Intelligence open-sourced π0 so you're fine-tuning instead of starting from zero. - Prototype the policy in MuJoCo or Isaac Lab first. MANUFACTURING - Alibaba RFQ for the first 100 units. Check 1688 to see what the factory actually charges domestically, then negotiate. Pietra or Sourcify if you want someone to handle it. FULFILLMENT AND SELLING - ShipBob or Amazon FBA. Shopify for the store, TikTok Shop for distribution, Kickstarter if you want the money before you build it. How to think about starting your own robotics or hardware company: 1. Pick a niche that's already buying weird gear. Cyclists, tabletop gamers, beekeepers, home baristas, dog people with mobility issues. These groups spend money on specific objects and complain in public about what doesn't exist. Or grab ideas off Ideabrowser.com 2. Go read the complaints. Reddit, IG etc Search "I wish someone made," "does anyone make," and "modified my." That last one is the best signal, because someone already hacked the product together and you're just manufacturing what they built by hand. Also check Etsy!! If 3 sellers are doing a janky 3D printed version with 400 reviews each, the market is validated. 3. Make one. Describe it to Astra or Claude, get the CAD, print it in ugly gray PLA, use it, fix it. 4. Only go to Alibaba or similar once you've sold a few. Message 10 suppliers through RFQ, take the third cheapest, always pay the $50 for a sample before the real order. 5. Film everything from day 1. The first ugly print, the failed version, the box of 100 arriving. That's your entire marketing budget, and hardware is one of the few categories where people actually want to watch the thing get made. 6. Raise the price. Almost everyone here anchors on what the plastic cost. Your customer is comparing you to nothing, because the alternative is the product doesn't exist. Start at 5x COGS and go up. THIS GOAL OF THIS POST IS JUST HERE TO GET YOUR CREATIVE JUICES FLOWING. Of course, you can build robotics/hardware in a bunch of different ways. One thing I've learned is data couldn't be more important when you're building a hardware/robotics startups. These models learn from first person video of a human doing the task, and that footage doesn't exist for almost any job. So basically you pick one repetitive job people quit over, film someone doing it for 2 weeks, fine-tune π0 on that footage, use organic to sell the first few units and figure out scaling, 5 years ago you needed a factory, a supply chain, and a $1M just to find out if anyone wanted the thing. Now, anyone can become a hardware/robitics founder. And I suspect a lot of people will become one! Vibe manufacturers.
