[new @arxiv paper] There’s a huge gap between playing with AI skills in a demo and ⚙️ engineering them for production. In a simple setup, semantic routing feels like enough: the user asks something, the LLM matches the text to a skill description, and executes it. But in real-world production at scale (like @Wix Customer Care), semantic matching alone isn't enough. 🚩 Why? Because semantic matching only looks at what the user says, completely ignoring what the user is actually allowed or able to do. A user asking to "connect a domain" is a 100% semantic match for the Domain Skill. But if they don't have an active premium plan, executing that skill is a dead end. In a new arXiv paper by @AshkenaziOrtal, Vitalii Kloz, and Mykhailo Ulianchenko, we present Helpmate’s (Wix’s Customer Care AI agent) architecture: introducing a deterministic executability gate that evaluates account state before candidate skills reach the LLM. Tested across 756K+ user messages in production: 🎯 59.4% of semantically matched candidates were filtered out because the account state made them non-executable 📉 90.5% reduction in skill context size 228.8M tokens saved 🛡️ In a targeted replay of 1,000 risky conversations, removing the gate caused the model to select a non-executable skill in 7.8% of cases.

We just blew past $200M ARR at @Base44 5 months after hitting $100M. We've released Base 1 in between. i'm proud of the healthy business we're building, being the only platform to own its entire stack (backend, models, etc) - which also allows us to move fast and be creative. All credits go to a very special team that i'm having so much fun working with

In H1 2026, the @DeviantArt community made over 2.3 million transactions - officially setting new platform monetization records! The result was our strongest H1 in company history, with creator sales growing 55% YoY. Those numbers reflect a creator economy in full momentum: artists building sustainable livelihoods, launching flourishing creative ventures, and connecting with a global audience that deeply values supporting creativity. We’re carrying this momentum straight into H2 with even more monetization feature releases on the horizon. Stay tuned! #CreatorEconomy #DeviantArt #Monetization #DigitalArt #Growth #Community

We launched our second product - Superagent, 4 months ago. It’s been growing fastttt Here’s Superagent by the numbers: - 850,000 agents built - 285,000 agents have an active automation. making the agent work around the clock - 265,000 agents are also managing a @Base44 app - 170,000 agents are helping people manage their personal lives My fav use cases: • An avocado farm that runs its entire operations through agents and automations • ⁠A family of 6 that uses the superagent as the household cfo, logging expenses over WhatsApp and working out who owes whom • A sports scientist built force-velocity profiles for thirty athletes off GPS data • An insurance company built a prospecting agent and then started wondering whether to sell it as a product.
