Some of the sharpest technical conversations we had when starting @getgaya were with Haitian engineers. People already building, learning, and pushing themselves, but without easy access to the tools, projects, and networks that can change a developer’s trajectory. That never sat right with us. Talent is everywhere. Leverage is not. Gayiti is our attempt to create more leverage. We’re starting with 10 Haitian developers. They’ll get access to AI coding tools, IDE subscriptions, technical classes, mentorship, and, as they progress, paid work on real projects sourced through both Gaya’s customer network and local partners in Haiti, starting with ZeroLoss Consulting. We’re building this with @ayitiai, Haiti’s first AI developer community, led by @jn_kenley, Gaya’s first engineer. Cohort 1 starts July 1. Ten spots. If you know someone in Haiti who is already building and just needs a boost, send them to gayiti.ai #Gayiti #Gaya #AyitiAI

Running a remote team has been one of the best decisions we’ve made at @getgaya, and one of the hardest to get right. One big non-negotiable for us: at least 3 hours of overlap every day across the entire team. In practice, it’s often more. That shared window matters a lot. It gives us enough time to unblock each other, make decisions quickly, and actually feel like we’re building together instead of just passing work across time zones. The upside is obvious: you get access to incredible talent you’d never find if you stayed local. Our team stretches across Romania, the US, Lebanon, Haiti, Ukraine, the Philippines, and Tanzania. That’s pretty special. The harder part is what remote work naturally takes away. You miss the random conversations. The quick check-ins. The little moments that build trust without anyone trying too hard. We’ve tried to be intentional about that. Outside of deep work, we have a pretty huddle-friendly culture on Slack. Quick calls are encouraged when something is easier to talk through live. We also have weekly team meetings that are less about status updates and more about staying connected, celebrate wins and each other. It’s not perfect. I still think remote teams have to work harder to create the kind of cohesion that can happen more naturally in person. But done right, I think the tradeoff is worth it. Curious how others handle this: What are your best practices for building strong culture and fast execution on a remote team?

Introducing the Tasklet sandbox VM. Every agent now gets its own Linux environment with Python, ffmpeg, imagemagick, and a persistent filesystem. Create, process & transfer files, use code to analyze data, make network requests, install packages & more.

Today we're launching Tasklet — an AI agent for automating your business. Unlike ChatGPT, @TaskletAI actually does the work for you: connecting to your tools, triggering automatically, and handling tasks while you sleep.

Glad to see @getgaya driving automation in large brokerages and making real change. Thank you @BrokerTechVen for the feature. Back to perfecting our supercopy and superpaste product and scaling it to all lines. Stay tuned for the many lines we have been quietly launching!
What started as a student project has evolved into a powerful insurtech solution. See how @getgaya is helping agencies like @Heffernan_Ins transform quoting and workflows: ow.ly/ZVqa50WQFBb

I often here the same questions about AI: “Where do I start?” “Which tools actually matter?” “How do I apply this to my business?” The truth is, AI feels exciting but overwhelming.

3/4 1. To get started with AI personally: Be curious and try out different tools. 2. To get started with AI in your business: First, establish your baseline processes. AI will amplify your systems, but it won't fix them. 3. To identify opportunities: Ask yourself what is mundane/repetitive and seek tools that can solve key pain points.

4/4 You can't ignore AI if you want to evolve. But you have to be intentional and set the right expectation. Huge thanks to the Haitian American Chamber of Commerce of Florida @HACCOFL and Tribaja for the invitation!

Founders need a 9 to 5 too. Lately I’ve been spending my days at a coworking space. It helps me timebox and knock out focused work without distractions. Then I head home… and start shift #2. The change of environment gives me just enough of a reset to keep going.

Back at Notre Dame for the first time since graduating. Great to see faculty who’ve always supported me and to watch the @ndideacenter's Race to Revenue accelerator wrap up. ND is taking big steps in entrepreneurship! Go Irish! 🍀

"Big opportunities in life have to be seized. We don't do very many things. But when we get the chance to do something that's right and big, we've got to do it. And even to do it on a small scale is just as big a mistake, almost as not doing it at all" - Warren Buffett

At @EqualVentures ' #InsuranceCapitalSummit last week. Insurers crave AI automation but as pointed by @sychou , they demand observability control. At @getgaya we ship AI only when we can explain, predict & trace every step: magic for users, never a black box for us. Thanks @achadroff & team!

Journalists should never become the story — that's something you'd learn in journalism school. But sometimes you do break the rules for valid reasons. Glad to chat with @CBSMornings about my experience reporting on the Pope's first conversation with his brother for the @AP.

Over 250 tech CEOs (from Microsoft to Doordash) are calling on states to make CS & AI part of high school graduation requirements. Good push. Source: ajsai.substack.com/
