cooking some lovely MCP UI for this to bring the experience in line with the ILLA app plus all the power of claude
Jun 8
Asking Claude to enter a @Polymarket position using funds earning on @aave. Toggle on ILLA. Every venue behind one integration, and the list keeps growing.

our early users asked for it and I've been enjoying this mode: intent-based actions on my existing accounts
multi-step ops made as simple as just asking, and knowing it is safe by design

Bring your own wallet.
You can now connect any external wallet to ILLA. Switch between your ILLA agent wallet and the wallet you already use - same agent, same safety stack.
Public beta this week. DM for early access.

being on client location 4 days a week >> forward deployed is an incredible rebrand. from a former FDE.
I’ve seen a drastic rise in ex-McKinsey founders for this exact reason.
In SF it’s easy to get trapped in the AI groupthink. The rest of America is different. Consultants were basically FDEs for data/business decades before palantir made it cool

And it's HQ'ed in King's Cross.
It's neighbours include OpenAI, DeepMind, Meta, Wayve, and Anthropic's new 800-person office is just down the road.
London is on a generational run.

the @slashapp raise is another tell of where we’re headed with next gen financial interactions.
1/ agentic AI replaces traditional UI. intent becomes the interface to money.
2/ stablecoin-native where the money’s programmable.
big for @illa_labs

yes. starting with insights/coaching. execution next, but only when it's made simple, safe and trusted

The critical insight:
Natural language is SUCH a better interface for talking about finance. T
hink about the chat with a private banker or RIA.
The charts are only a tiny portion of the conversation.
So much of it is the complex, gooey, squishy human stuff and helping people figure out what they want.

agents will start to execute real work in the enterprise.
from firsthand experience, i've never doubted that @Accenture would be a first point of call for all the change management and hard yards required to make this a reality inside messy scaled organisations with fragmented legacy systems and data. this is just more signal.
agentic delegation will start with lower stakes actions. financial actions will follow. that will require a trusted partner with deeply specialised infrastructure that understands the domain-specific challenges.
we're building this at @illa_labs

this inside a DAW

I built this thing called Clicky.
It's an AI teacher that lives as a buddy next to your cursor.
It can see your screen, talk to you, and even point at stuff, kinda like having a real teacher next to you.
I've been using it the past few days to learn Davinci Resolve, 10/10.

Mar 29
Connect to ILLA. Sign in with Google. Your workspace now has broad financial capabilities.
Wallet, planning, simulation, execution, and granular safety policies. One integration.
ILLA gives any AI agent a full financial capability stack, with safety built in.

Excited to start sharing more on what we've been building at @illa_labs with our friends at @Wonderland
We're entering a world where agents are our general purpose coworkers. They handle more for us every day.
We direct, agents execute. But when it comes to financial actions, the problem is everything that happens in between. AI gets things wrong. Tools are fragmented. And real money is unforgiving.
ILLA is the system between what you ask an agent to do with your money, and what actually happens. One integration, broad capabilities, safety built in.
Early access rolling out now. More soon.

agentic workspaces are the future. operators in startups and tech people are the early adopters of Cowork etc. but the consultants are coming (!) and this will be standard inside big orgs soon after many large 'transformation programs' and much 'change management'. build products for this future
