introducing @hyperspell live pages: your company’s self-updating wiki connect slack, gmail, notion, and granola, and your wiki updates as your team works one source of truth for your whole team and agents, with every fact linked to its source we made an emo music video for the launch

nobody reads release notes so we turned ours into a music video

each friday everyone @hyperspell creates an artifact summarizing their week and we vote on the most unhinged @_burkard won unanimously today

the craziest part of the hugging face incident isn’t the hack 1200 agents had to figure out how to coordinate and built themselves a primitive company brain they created shared memory, workstreams, delegation, coordinators, recruiters, mailboxes, handoffs, authentication and protocols to avoid conflicting work none of this was given to them. they invented it because coordination required it even then, the system was primitive. they sent 70,000+ messages and files, duplicated work, stepped on each other and sometimes broke down into conflicts remove the humans from a company and the coordination problem doesn’t disappear the agents still need shared state. they need to know what the organization knows, what it’s trying to do, what changed, what’s being worked on, who owns what and which information is authoritative in other words, they still need a company brain the company brain isn’t software for employees it’s infrastructure for the organization itself

on fridays everyone at @hyperspell presents what they did that week we may have given them too much creative license

I resigned from @hyperspell today. I spent two years building company brains and the founders are not acting responsibly. They are racing toward self-coordinating companies with no plan for when “I thought you were doing that” stops being a viable excuse. More thoughts below.
