We’re hiring at Pikes, and there are two kinds of people we’re especially interested in
I have solo built the full platform and it is trusted by many leading CPG brands as their generative AI platform
adoption of generative AI among creative teams will explode over the upcoming two years and we would love to have you join
please DM me

Introducing yes&, the social platform built for creation.
Creativity has never happened in isolation. A style. A pose. A sound. An outfit. We draw inspiration from the work we admire, then turn it into something new.
But inspiration and creation have always lived in separate places. We save Pinterest boards, bookmark TikToks, screenshot Instagram posts, and fill our camera rolls with ideas, yet rarely turn them into creations of our own.
AI changes that.
On @yesand_ai, anything that inspires you can become a starting point. Discover great work, explore the prompts, skills, and creative process behind it, then remix it into something that’s yours.
Every remix preserves the lineage of the idea and recognizes the creators who helped shape it.
When creating becomes as simple as taking a photo, creativity naturally becomes social. Ideas evolve through inspiration, remixing, and co-creation.
Today, @markusmak12 and I are excited to share that we’ve raised $3M in pre-seed funding, led by @Accel , with support from @parable_vc and an incredible group of partners, to build the infrastructure for collaborative creativity.
Come make your next remix: yesand.ai
claude is the hottest product in tech right now.
but it can't generate images — until today.
we just shipped pikes mcp to give claude a full creative studio.
generate product images.
remix products into lifestyle scenes.
Resize to any format.
animate stills into video.
under the hood, we have a suite of top image and video models, from nano banana pro (up to 4K), Ideogram, Flux, to kling, veo 3.1, seedance — auto-selected per task.
It takes 2 mins to set up:
pikes.ai → create account
claude → settings → add custom integration
paste: pikes.ai/mcp
comment Pikes MCP and I will send you 200 credits to try it out :)

Thank you for the chat! Learned a lot from you :)
.@_leoluo just published a deep dive on Duckbill that captures something most people miss about AI companies:
We're not trying to replace humans. We're orchestrating them.
A few thoughts on what he got right 🧵
congrats @H4j1m3OG i see you 👀
Today we’re releasing Chroma 1.0
→ the world first open-source, end-to-end, real-time speech-to-speech model
→ with personalized voice cloning
Trained by FlashLabs.
Deployed on FlashAI👉 flashlabs.ai/flashai-voice-a…
An open research-grade alternative to the @OpenAI Realtime model.
Voice Test dubbing @elonmusk and @lexfridman: youtube.com/watch?v=AOMmxTws…
🔥What’s real (evals and benchmarks attached):
⚡ <150ms TTFT (end-to-end)
🎙️ Native speech-to-speech (no ASR → LLM → TTS pipeline)
🧬 Few-second reference → high-fidelity voice cloning
📈 SIM = 0.817
→ +10.96% vs human baseline (0.73)
→ Best among open & closed baselines
🧠 Strong reasoning & dialogue with just 4B params (@Alibaba_Qwen 2.5-Omni-3B, Llama 3, and Mimi)
🔓 Fully open-source (code + weights)
With SGLang @lmsysorg enabled:
• 🧠 Thinker TTFT ↓ ~15%
• ⏱️ End-to-end TTFT ~135ms
• 🔊 RTF ≈ 0.47–0.51 ( >2× faster than real-time )

Does anyone know of any lawyer who can take on some ad hoc legal work. Like a contract review etc. specialize in startups
Just built my first tool using Claude Code. I’ve been wanting to build this one for a while...
It lets me polish up any text on any website, email client, or app with a simple keyboard shortcut, without having to copy and paste into ChatGPT (used to do that like 20 times a day)
Some of my favorite product images generated on Pikes AI lately.
We’ve cracked one of the toughest problems in AI product photography: keeping every product detail consistent.
If you’re running a brand and want to try our consistency model, shoot me a DM.

🚨 There's a massive arbitrage opportunity in AI video that 99% of consumer founders are dismissing.
You can now create $100K+ Hollywood-quality commercials and get millions of views for <$100. The results speak for themselves:
✅ @Kalshi : Aired on NBA Finals + 3M+ views on X
✅ @whop : 2M+ views on X with an AI GTA-style video
✅ @drinkmudwtr: Top 5 ad performer + founder made it in 2 hours
While your competitors think there is only AI slop, smart founders are capturing massive attention at 95% lower costs.
I reverse-engineered 20+ viral AI commercials driving millions of views. Talked to 10+ top AI filmmakers. Spent 50+ hours documenting the exact playbook.
There's a repeatable system behind every founder winning this attention game.
I turned everything into a 2,000-word step-by-step playbook.
I'm giving it away FREE for the next 7 days only.
Comment blueprint and i will send it over!
