Today, I’m excited to share we’ve raised an additional $12.8M at a $500M valuation. Muse, Instinct, Grokbot, Dots, etc are great for consumers, but businesses need more if they want to delegate real responsibilities to AI. @TaskletAI is built with collaboration, automation, security, and control at its core, and our model-agnostic harness & cloud infrastructure gives you the best value for every AI dollar you spend. Investors in the round include @usv, @359Capital, @salil, @RakeshAgrawal, $RVI, @patrickc and others.

Spilling some beans 🤫 This very startup is actually looking for their first design engineer: tasklet.notion.site/Staff-De… It's an incredible opportunity, owning the product design end-to-end. They've identified that great design is essential for them. Funnily, I've told the founder to *not* look for a "design engineer." I told him, the most cracked product designers are all AI-pilled and now working with code anyway. If that's you and you're remotely curious, highly rec to get in touch with the founder. Oh and, did I mention, it's the Firebase founder?!
There's a startup in the current YC batch (P26) that's adding $1M in ARR every two weeks 😳

Today we're launching Tasklet — an AI agent for automating your business. Unlike ChatGPT, @TaskletAI actually does the work for you: connecting to your tools, triggering automatically, and handling tasks while you sleep.

We've been busy here at @tessl_io, working on Spec-Driven Development. Some BIG news: We're announcing the release of two new products from Tessl tessl.io/blog/announcing-tes… The 𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐥 𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤: makes agents capture intent in specs before coding, aligning you and the agent on what to build. This truly keeps agents on the rails - It’s available in private beta - ask for access on the site: tessl.io/ The 𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐥 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐜 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲: helps agents use open source better. A registry of over 10,000 usage specs that guide agents in application development. It’s in open beta and free to use - check it out: tessl.io/registry It's been such a fun journey already, just to get to beta, with the best team I've ever worked with. Super excited sharing our products with the community so we can build in the open! Want to see it in action? Here's @bgalbs showing off the products!

Today marks a big milestone for Tessl! The Spec Registry is now live in public beta with 10,000+ usage specs for open-source libraries. Agents get the version-accurate APIs, examples, and history they need to use OSS reliably. No more hallucinations or endless fix loops. 🧵

I’m excited to launch @tessl_io's first products! Introducing the Tessl Framework and Tessl Spec Registry, which integrate into any agent to keep it on rails and well informed using Spec-Driven Development. More details in the launch post: tessl.co/z01 It’s a big milestone in the journey towards AI Native Development🚩 I’m proud of our amazing team, and keen to get beta feedback from the community! ❤️ What’s the problem we’re solving? Agents are powerful, but they’re very unreliable. They hallucinate, claim false success and break things often enough that it’s hard - and tiring - to use them on production code. How are we helping? The Tessl Framework makes agents capture intent in specs before coding, aligning you and the agent on what to build. It adds tests as harder guardrails, and stores specs as long term memory of what your product should do. It’s available in private beta - visit our home page to request early access: tessl.co/2b3 The Tessl Spec Registry helps agents use open source better. It contains over 10,000 usage specs for using libraries, which you can add to your project like regular dependencies. It also lets you distribute your own guidance and policies to agents. It’s in open beta and free to use! Check it out here: tessl.co/jb8 Both products are just the beginning, and we’re committed to building them in the open. Check out the video or our launch blog post for more info: tessl.co/z01 Looking forward to hearing your thoughts, in the thread or our community Discord!

The new Google sign-in screen is nice and the "new experience is coming" pestering is needed for change management at multi-billion-user scale for a security sensitive UI that, if changed suddenly, could scare a lot of people whose online lives depend on it.
