Most work conversations are now being recorded by default. You should probably assume that everything you say at work is getting recorded from here on out.
What’s emerging is a new category of enterprise software, organized around voice instead of text.
The system of record today is structured data: CRM entries, tickets, docs. But the highest-value context lives in conversation: the nuance on a customer call, the real argument in a product review, the offhand comment in a leadership meeting that quietly changes the roadmap.
LLMs are uniquely good at taking that unstructured voice data and making it structured, searchable, and queryable. That’s a large enterprise opportunity, and we’re still early in understanding what the software layer looks like and who owns it.

You’re not using the wrong model, you’re using the wrong mental model.
AI underperforms when probabilistic systems are treated like deterministic tools. Practice—not prompts or model-switching—is what actually compounds reliability.

Congrats to the @BitGo team on the IPO — an incredible accomplishment.
I found myself reflecting back on BitGo’s origins and put a few thoughts down to capture the moment:

Thank you to our incredible team, partners, and families for getting us here.
Today was for you.

A reframing worth carrying into 2026 from Provenonce.
Why the Agentic Revolution Is Actually an Upgrade to the Human Operating System
AI capability accelerated. Outcomes didn’t keep pace — because coordination breaks at scale.

As a kid, I used to create Minecraft maps that millions of people played on. My dream is to bring that same creativity to the real world. I want the physical world to become as inspiring as the internet has been.
So I started a new company, @DraftedAI, to solve this!

Provenonce was founded in 2021.
A year ago, our team launched the AI pilot that shaped our future.
Now we’re scaling with customers, channel partners, and a system of semi-sentient agents.
Built to Scale the Signal.

A date.
A design.
A doorway.
“We are not just here to survive the 21st century.
We’re here to wake up inside of it.”
15 pillars. A spiral. A glyph carved in light.

I created an AI Assistant called RouxGPT that has extensive knowledge of CMLL (and all parts of Roux) and can give practice tips, encouragement, and solutions. I've published it on OpenAI. Feedback welcome.
