Most companies deploying AI in 2026 are going to make their problems worse.
Not because the models aren't good. They're extraordinary.
Because of what they're giving them to work with. 🧵

our last Board meeting was a major turning point. every single question... "let's ask the product". every single answer made sense. it's the closest thing to "God view" I've seen in a business.
just watch the video... it's hard to put into words what @markitecht and @MichaelPici are building at @Day_ai_app
Today we're announcing Day AI's $20M Series A led by @sequoia, and that we're now generally available.
We've spent 18 months building what we believe is the Cursor of CRM.
Here's what that means 🧵

Funny story: My wife (and cofounder) helps manage my inbox lately (I KNOW, I'M LUCKY) and asked me, "Who the f**k is Benjamin? He’s sending you emails every morning with action items before I can."
I told her Benjamin isn't a person. It’s my AI agent from day.ai. 🤯
She literally thought I hired a human assistant. It’s pulling meeting prep, recording meetings, tracking emails and action items and managing follow-ups without me ever logging into a dashboard. Straight into @SlackHQ
It’s not just a CRM.
It’s everything you wish a CRM did for you, actually done for you.
This is the ChatGPT moment for CRMs: meaningful work done for you, not a CRM you have to manage.
My first release to share since joining @Day_ai_app
is a BIG one! You can now sync Slack conversations into @Day_ai_app for automated summaries and Action items for your team. New level of customer insight unlocked 🔓
NEW: Sync Slack conversations to @Day_ai_app
To bring your customers into every decision you make, you need every conversation captured in your CRM. Until now we’ve focused on ingesting your meetings and emails – but we heard from many of you (and it’s certainly the case for us) that your richest customer interactions are happening on Slack.
While most integrations enable you to push notifications into Slack, we’re focused on getting every single drop of context out of Slack.
Key features of Slack Sync:
- Don’t let important follow ups slip through the cracks. @Day_ai_app automatically creates Actions from your slack channels - so you don’t forget that followup, or to respond to that issue or request. When you follow up, @Day_ai_app will know, and will automatically mark the action as complete.
- It’s easy to get the full scoop on a prospect or customer. Search for a person, organization or opportunity in @Day_ai_app and see the full summary across all conversations your team has had with them. Summaries now have context from Slack Channels, and there’s a specific Slack summary section with a direct link back to the channel.
Not a user of Slack? No problem - we’re committed to capturing every single conversation you have.
Comment and let us know - where should we sync conversations from next?

Today we announce our $4M seed led by Sequoia Capital, to build our dream CRM.
Why?
The only person in the room who is consistently "right" is the customer.
AI has finally made it possible to put the customer at the center of every decision you make.
Time to run it back.
Day.ai is Reimagining CRM for the AI Age.
Today, we’re excited to announce our $4M fundraise, led by @sequoia with participation from @pillar_vc, @w_conviction, @Stage2Capital, @InspiredCap, @20SALES_vc and a number of amazing angels.

Stack Overflow but for PM and all the posts are like
“Sales just sold a custom deal that has to be implemented in 90 days but my boss expects me to also deliver on my roadmap with no changes to scope or resources, how do I fix this error?”

Making a simple/obvious plan is 10x harder than the complex, convoluted, full of caveats one that hedges bets & shies away from making hard choices on priority & trade offs. Annoying side effect is that it also looks like it didn’t take as much work as the complicated one
Big day for my friends @BuzzFeed ! 🙌👏💞
Since BuzzFeed, Inc. is going public today, you are probably wondering "how can I decide if I should buy BuzzFeed stock?"
Well my friends, I'm here for you. buzzfeed.com/katienotopoulos…
