Spent the week in Singapore with @graniteasia, partnering to invest in APAC startups and meeting the founder community.
You get a different feel for what people are building when you spend time with them in person. F1 energy was in the air. Glad I made the trip.

Hi 👋 We're Pomelli, a free AI-powered marketing tool that helps small businesses generate on-brand content. Welcome to our new channel, where we’ll share product updates and connect with you, our growing community.✨
Friendly, spicy, and fun discussion with @Replit @emergentlabs. both are portfolio companies and crushing it!
Had a lot of fun talking about @AIFuturesFund , @AccelAtoms, and India
We brought @Google's @AIFuturesFund team into a room with @prayanks, Partner at @Accel, in Bangalore, and let the conversation run.
@JRSilber, @asoroken, and David Benjamin from AIFF joined us for a conversation that usually stays behind closed doors: how AIFF was built inside Google Labs, why India was the first market they wanted to back, what actually stood out from 4,000+ applications, and whether founders should fear big tech (spoiler: they had thoughts).

Opal, our no-code visual builder for AI workflows, just got a major upgrade. 🧠💎
We’ve added a new agent step that analyzes your goal, determines the best approach, and automatically calls the right tools — such as Veo for video or web search for research — to complete the task.
We’re also adding new tools to make the agent even more capable:
💾 Memory – Remember info, like a user’s name or your style preferences across sessions.
🚀 Dynamic Routing – Let the agent choose the next best step using the “@ Go to” tool.
💬 Interactive Chat – Initiate user interactions to gather missing information or present options before moving on.

Coming up in today's video, but this one kind of surprised me. I played around w/ Google's Pomelli and gave it pretty much the worst image in the world of a beat up USB hub, and it managed to knock out a really good product campaign shot!
More in the video today...

Google just shipped professional product photoshoots in a tool called Pomelli.
You upload a single product image, pick the type of shoot you want, and get a full campaign (with image and video).
Watch me test it on Built bars 👇
Today, we’re introducing Pomelli’s latest feature update, ‘Photoshoot’
With Photoshoot, you can start from a single image of your product and easily create high quality, customized product shots to elevate your marketing.
Available free of charge in the US, Canada, Australia & New Zealand! Get started with Pomelli today at labs.google/pomelli
