Introducing Conductor Mobile!
Run a team of cloud agents from your iPhone, live now in the App Store.
i talked about SQL and agents at planetscale's meetup last month, video's up, check it out!
Turns out agents are amazing at SQL. Almost unreasonably good.
The combination of:
1) Keep all necessary context in postgres, sqlite, mysql, duckdb, etc. Slack messages. Action logs. Whatever.
2) Apply constraints. Scoped permissions, views, result-set caps, low timeouts.
3) Give the agent credentials + schema. Let it rip.
Just because writing complex SQL queries to get answers from data used to be arduous, doesn't mean it still is.
Great talk from @NotTuxedoSam on this.

if you liked "every 6 months delete your CLAUDE.md"
you're gonna love "every 6 months delete your codebase"

At the Agents Anonymous SF meetup last night we did another 🙋 AI usage survey, here are the est. numbers:
Usage stats:
- 90% Claude Code
- 60% Codex
- 30% Cursor
- 20% OpenCode
- 10% Conductor
- 10% Own agent/Pi
80% have prompted a coding agent from mobile
50% have not handwritten a single line of code this year
99% think they're more productive now vs. pre agentic coding agents
Parallel agent usage:
- 90% 3+
- 70% 4+
- 50% 5+
- 5% 10
Also want to give a ginormous thank you to our incredible speaker lineup:
- @jonas_nelle & @alexirobbins from @cursor_ai
- @southpolesteve from @Cloudflare
- @LewisJEllis from @ycombinator
- @aidandcunniffe from Git AI
- 🦞 @steipete from @openclaw
Hope to see you all at the next one! 🫡
come hang out let’s spend some tokens
At YC, we let our engineers let it rip. There is no limit to the number of tokens you get.
If you're at a place that is stingy with tokens, and you have that need for a speed, come to YC and let it rip.
