Hundreds of people showed up to see what a phone that uses itself can do; thanks for stopping by!
Craziest things you asked us to demo:
1) Canceling all our Friday plans to go on a road trip and book the hotels on the way.
2) Adding you on X and LinkedIn and then sending a selfie to them when they accept, then tagging them in a post on X saying “Thanks for stopping by”, and then scheduling a follow-up meeting.
3) Win a game of 2048…. 📷
What would you ask to demo?
We switched 10 people from iPhone to Blue. Weeks later, none of them want their iPhone back.
Introducing Blue: a phone you just talk to. Tell it what you need, and it gets done.
It has all the context, can use every single app, and even triages your notifications.
We built it for people who always have a little too much to do. The ones buried in messages, notifications, and to-dos.
If that's you, get yours today.

Not every day you see a team declare war on Apple

Put that phone down; let Blue take care of it.

Tomorrow, we are planning to have the Blue launch in San Francisco, and I would love for you to come.
Blue is a phone that does it for you.
You tell it what you need, and it gets it done, so you can spend less time on your screen.
Come try it in person, meet our team, and have a drink from our Blue Café. One of the lattes is actually blue.
📍 201 Jackson St, Jackson Square, San Francisco
🗓️ Wednesday, November 11
⏰ 4 to 8 PM
RSVP: luma.com/b3pz35ob?tk=Un4LDO
Blue launch party in SF tomorrow!
Come put your phone down and let Blue do it for you.
Try it yourself, meet the team, and grab a coffee and snacks.

Waking up from hibernation just in time for the end of the world.
Can someone help tell me what will happen on the first day of the AI apocalypse?
Asking for a friend.
I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

You can now automate almost anything you can do on your iPhone with Blue.
Now, every night at ~2 am, @OmarAbcXyz123 has set up Blue to go through any work credit card expenses he has, find the receipt in the Gmail app, Amazon, Uber, etc., and upload it to the expenses app w/ a note on whatI bought!
What will you automate?

just got the @heyBlueX and it's going to be everything I wish Siri was 🔵
Very interesting product by @ycombinator @OmarAbcXyz123

I recently learned about the "Curb Cut Effect."
In the 1970s, people fought for wheelchair ramps. They poured concrete themselves since the government wouldn't.
