Congrats to Wikifarmer on their $7.7M funding round! 🌾 Wikifarmer is building the operating system for global agricultural trade — using AI to connect food businesses directly with producers and digitise the entire transaction lifecycle, from price discovery to logistics and financing. Proud to keep backing Ilias, Petros and the team as they take this global. 🚀

You're a founder trying to make your team AI-native. Shoot red pills at skeptical engineers, dodge meetings, and watch out for the VP of Resistance firing blue pills back! Convert 70% before time runs out. Your converts join your army. https://lnkd.in/dup28hDz PS: I've just built this tiny game (v0.09) in less than an hour (which is kind of crazy and sort of proves the point). LMK if you like it and I might spend some time on improving it!

We're still debating if our latest team member should have a name and a personality. Meanwhile I went ahead and created this. :) Eliza Claw WDYT?

Still looking for 1-2 additional speakers for our @openclaw meetup this Friday. No need to prepare slides, just show (off) what you've been building with your🦞! :) Any takers, recommendations,...? https://luma.com/ek5cb0vq

Today we've onboarded our latest team member to Zendesk.

Claude's new computer use model is AMAZING. Yesterday, my OpenClaw (AKA Eliza Claw) suddenly stopped working.  I spent ~2 hours last night trying to fix it, pasting logs into Claude… no luck. Today, I asked the computer use model to fix it. It logged into the admin panel, found the issue, and resolved it. This unlocks so many great new use cases ... incredible work by the Vercept team, Kiana Ehsani, Ross Girshick, Luca Weihs, and everyone at Anthropic who worked on this!

Just like humans these AI employees, constantly asking for a raise!

Big congrats to the Cryptio team on raising their $45M Series B! 🥳 Incredibly excited to see the team accelerate their mission to build the ERP infrastructure layer for the digital asset economy — with new applications including loan management, treasury management and tokenization compliance. We're so stoked to be part of the journey, onwards and upwards! 🚀

Thrilled to co-lead Forithmus’ pre-seed round alongside e2vc and others! While most radiology AI companies train narrow, one-condition-at-a-time classifiers, Forithmus builds generalist models that learn from massive volumes of 3D scans paired with radiology reports. What Ibrahim Ethem Hamamci and Sezgin Er have achieved before raising a single euro is extraordinary. Huge mission, outlier founders ... let's go!

Looking forward to this, and thank you for inviting me Dr. Andre Retterath! Given the speed at which things are moving right now, I won't start to work on any slides before Sunday evening ... high chance they'd be outdated on Monday afternoon. :)

In the last few weeks I've found myself using Claude as the UI for various applications more and more. I know I'm not the only one. As a result, some SaaS tools get a free upgrade ... bad search, little bugs, missing workflows, all get ironed out by the AI layer! The obvious question is ... if your software becomes headless, are you still providing enough value, or are you at risk of being replaced by Databricks at the bottom and LLMs at the top. My guess is (surprise) that it depends. - Vertical software with an opinionated data model is in a decent spot for now (but not forever). - Generic tools are at higher risk. - Long term, the best bet is network effects, brand, and data flywheel that lets you build agents the big LLMs simply can't offer. I feel like it's never been harder to "skate to where the puck is going" though. In any case - NOT opening up to Claude/ChatGPT is not the right answer, you obviously need to be where the users are.

Spending lots of time with Claude Code in the last months (+ OpenClaw more recently) has made it abundantly clear to me that every piece of SaaS hugely benefits from being infused with AI. All not new, this has become clear soon after the ChatGPT moment... but it's become a lot more tangible to me recently. Pretty much everything needs to be reimagined from the ground up. Here's a quick (Claude generated) summary. Only looking at the past, recent past, and near-term future here. Not even mentioning the mid/long-term, in which AI agents will do the majority of the actual work.

Millions die each year because they lack access to medical imaging and expert interpretation. At Forithmus, we’re building generalist AI systems to help physicians interpret medical images faster and extend medical intelligence worldwide. Today, we’re excited to announce our $4M pre-seed round, co-led by Point Nine and e2vc, with participation from Reece Chowdhry, TIBAS Ventures, and incredible angel investors. Huge thanks to Christoph & Louis (Point Nine) and Enis, Arın & Başak (E2VC) for believing in us early. Read more: https://lnkd.in/eAjAUzbp

What Trump could have said and what every normal person would have said: “Today we learned that a US strike has killed more than 180 people at a school in Iran, most of them children. Our investigation is still ongoing, but based on what we know right now, the school was accidentally targeted due to outdated information about a nearby naval base. My heart is broken. To the families who lost their sons, daughters, parents, friends, and loved ones, I offer my deepest apology and my deepest sorrow. Nothing I say can undo this loss. No parent should ever have to bury a child because of decisions made far away. Our objective in this war is to prevent nuclear weapons that could threaten the security of many nations and to end the rule of a regime that has imprisoned, tortured, and killed countless of its own people. But no objective can ever diminish the value of the innocent lives lost today. Tonight we mourn those children and stand with the families whose grief is beyond words.” What he said: “I don’t know about this”.

Last Friday we hosted our first OpenClaw Meet & Build in Berlin together with PostHog and OpenAI. 🦞 An afternoon of builders working on real projects, from dev agents and coding workflows to GTM automation and internal copilots, with amazing mentors such as Ying (OpenAI), Manoel (PostHog), Reetu (Zendesk), Fredrik & Johannes (Findable), Dominik & Ceyhun (Jay) (TextCortex), and Daniel (Civic) jumping in to help. We wrapped the day with a fireside chat with Andreas (EU-INC, Prototype) and Laura (OpenAI) lead by Christoph, plus some awesome demos and lightning talks by Onur (OpenClaw Contributor), Johannes (Findable), Marko (CompoundLaw), Andrey (OpenClaw Contributor), and Maciek (Graph.one). Huge thanks to everyone who joined - the energy in the room was amazing! 🚀
