#Agent

The UNBROKER skill by @SHL0MS, now in Computer's skills marketplace, finds a person's listings on data-broker sites and drafts opt-out requests. Each request waits for approval before sending. Tasks that use /unbroker are free through November 6, up to 5,000 credits per user.

Every AI agent at work runs with the access of whoever set it up. That’s why security keeps saying no. Today we’re launching @mintive: every agent gets its own identity and permissions, the same way every employee does. We’ve raised $11M, with @cowboyvc leading our latest round.

3 months ago, Walmart acquired Vibe for $1B+. It all started with a question. What if? Today, we answer it.

Today we're launching @snaptrude Agent, the most advanced agent for building design. It does real design work with you, from a site to a construction-ready LOD 400 model with structure, MEP and drawings. Then can go back to your existing software with your families intact. About a year ago we bet the company on AI. Honestly the insight came from software engineering. It wasn't long ago that autocomplete felt like a big deal, and now engineers direct agents that write a lot of the code. I think the same shift is coming to how we design buildings, and it's already started. Most designers I meet aren't short on skill, they're short on time. Take the call every design team dreads, the client cuts the budget by 30%. Today that's a bad month for everyone. With the agent you're the director. You decide where the cost comes out, and it updates the layout, coordinates the structure and MEP, and redoes the drawings. So when design exploration gets this cheap, we go from 3 options to 300, and more options means better buildings. Since August our users have gone through more than 140 billion tokens, and firms like Jacobs, Studio+, Kajima, VMDO, Dekker and hundreds of others use Snaptrude today. In our early access, more than 2,000 designers have run over 25,000 tasks through the agent since September. We also built a benchmark for this, AECBench, because in AEC an almost correct answer is still wrong. It gives AI the same brief an architect would get, has its design in a real BIM model, and scores the result against the brief and against how architects review design. We're publishing the first results today, link below. Thank you @prashanthp at @Accel and Shub and the team at @foundamental for backing us when this was still a bet, and the Snaptrude team, who built every bit of this. Really proud of you all. Thanks to our investors, @scottbelsky, @andreasklinger, @thilokonzok, @immad, @CindyXBi, @DanilaVladi, @jmwass, rahulchaudhary, @adamecourt, Zach Ginsburg, Alex duff, Paul grossinger, really appreciate all the help along the way.

Tobi Lütke on the AI agent revolution and future of Shopify @tobi on where agent commerce is headed, sci-fi becoming reality, and his GPU wine cellar. Why did Amazon block Meta's Muse but Shopify welcomed it? I sit down with Tobi in Toronto to discuss why the companies are taking different approaches to agents and how shopping changes when AI starts buying things on your behalf. He explains the early AI shopping behavior he’s seeing. We also get into why he thinks AI makes starting a business easier, the backlash against the technology, and why everyone will eventually have to embrace it to get ahead in their careers. We get into how AI agents will make money, who pays when they handle a purchase, and why advertising gets complicated when your assistant is supposed to work for you. We discuss his experience on Meta’s board and working with Mark Zuckerberg. Lütke also shares why he turned his wine cellar into a GPU server rack and how he uses his personal AI agent that runs entirely from his house. This is one of my favorite pods I've ever done.

Exciting news: Gemini 4 Carbon (High) from @GoogleDeepMind just made a huge debut on Arena, landing #1 in Text Arena, #2 in Agent Arena, and #4 in Code Arena: WebDev. Back at the top, Gemini 4 Carbon delivers frontier intelligence and reshapes the Pareto frontier across three arenas. In Agent Arena, Gemini 4 Carbon ranks #2 with a +16.2% net improvement across +21.9K real-world agentic sessions from our global community, surpassing top models GPT-6 Astra and Fable-5.1. At $1.80 median cost per task, Gemini 4 Carbon (High) costs 72% less than the #1 ranked Claude Opus 5.5 (Max). Its standouts by key signals: - #1 Steerability (+18.6%): can the model course-correct when you push back? - #2 Praise vs Complaint (+37.9%): implicit sentiment in users' reactions - #3 Confirmed Success (+18.7%): explicit “yes, that worked” from users In Code Arena: WebDev, Carbon scored 1768 pts landing #4: - Just 2 pts below #3 Claude Sonnet 5.5 (xHigh), at 1770 pts - 89 pts above #11 Gemini 4 Argon (High), at 1679 pts By category, it ranks #3 in Gaming and Simulations, and #5 in Brand & Marketing. In Text Arena, Gemini 4 Carbon (High) is the new #1 with 1528 pts, now ahead of Gemini 4 Argon (High) at #2 with 1520 pts. Congrats to the @GoogleDeepMind team on this huge milestone!
