I talked to a poet today who told me he now writes 10,000 lines of poetry a day thanks to AI. That’s probably the limit case. He’s an experienced bard, he knows the muses well, and he is using AI 12 hours a day. But he’s not naive. This is not 10,000 lines of doggerel.

Today is the deadline to apply for YC's fall batch. Applying is a bet so asymmetric it’s crazy not to make it: downside capped at 30 minutes of writing, uncapped, life-changing upside.

True outcome based pricing for coding agents is here, no paying per message or per token - you’re charged per task, no matter how long or complex - keep iterating until you’re done. Now starting for free, literally build 100 things for nothing.

It's an open secret in the industry that the AI customer service tools with famous founders and hundreds of millions in funding are vaporware. Expect to see a bunch of companies announce they're using AI CS from actual startups over the next few weeks.
