Are you the kind of person who believes in your dream enough to burn through most of your savings on it?
For millionaires, this might not be a big deal, but what about people with a typical 9 5 job? I see how much a solid marketing campaign costs on just one platform (often the monthly expense is equal to at least a full year s salary).
The day before yesterday, a friend told me he and his wife are closing their restaurant, which they opened just six months ago. They had taken a loan for it, which makes it even worse.
Today, we re announcing we ve raised $125M at a $1.25B valuation to build the platform for agent engineering. We re also releasing new capabilities to accelerate the path to reliable agents, including LangChain and LangGraph 1.0 releases, a new Insights Agent, and a no code agent builder. IVP led the round alongside existing investors Sequoia, Benchmark, and Amplify, as well as new investors CapitalG and Sapphire Ventures.
Imagine that they got their start here when I hunted @LangSmith in 2023. Man, shoulda invested back then!
Introduction: The Challenge of Teaching in the AI Era
As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly accessible to students, educators face a pivotal question: What is the role of teachers when students can learn directly from AI? One innovative teacher has found her answer not by competing with AI, but by orchestrating it.
This is the story of how she transformed her teaching approach using FunBlocks AIFlow Whiteboard and its AI-powered mindmap features, creating a dynamic learning environment that extends far beyond the traditional classroom.
This update brings several key improvements to Locki's functionality and usability:
- Expanded Google Docs support
- Key limit increased from 5 to 10
- Added secure keys import/export with password protection, enabling secure backup or team data sharing, ensuring the privacy and security of your data
Lately, I have been experimenting with how to feed context into GPT models more effectively.
For example, when fine-tuning or working with larger context windows, I have noticed that the dilemma is in organizing the surrounding information, rather than the prompt itself. Last week, I came to know that it's called Context Engineering.
I don't know about you, but I feel like I've been working non-stop for years now, and I don't know how I'm able to do it. And it's often because I include activities in my daily life that make my work more enjoyable or break up the monotony.
For example:
I exercise every day (and listen to video casts about tech, business, and marketing in the background)

Can an AI Assistant Finally Deliver on Its Promise?
A new Help me schedule button appears in @Gmail when @Gemini detects scheduling intent in a draft, displaying available time slots pulled from your @Google Calendar.
Senders can edit or add options before inserting the suggestions into an email as an in-line picker for the recipient.
@Gemini uses cues such as requested duration or timeframe to tailor suggestions, like offering 30-minute slots next week when that is specified.
When the recipient selects a time, @Google automatically creates a meeting on both participants calendars.
The feature is limited to two-person scheduling and requires both parties to use Gmail with Google Calendar, with rollout beginning today for Workspace customers and Google AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers as part of a broader Workspace AI push.
The state has become the first U.S. state to regulate AI companion chatbots. Governor Gavin Newsom signed SB 243, a new law requiring companies like OpenAI, Meta, Character AI, and Replika to implement safety protocols protecting children and vulnerable users.
We're not going to lie. One of the key places people ask you for help with a PH launch is in LinkedIn DMs (followed by X and email).
Most connections I got were people from Product Hunt, so it is a pity not to use that platform. I am trying to grow LinkedIn and play with many strategies, among:
posting several pieces of content per day
actively comment on other people's posts
send a certain number of connection requests per day
Launching on Product Hunt has always felt like a rite of passage for builders and on September 14, our team finally took that leap with GraphBit, our agentic AI framework built with Rust and Python.
What made this special? It was our first-ever Product Hunt launch.
No legacy audience.
No prior community presence.
Just a small, focused team and one week to prepare.
Audits like SOC 2, GDPR, and HIPAA often feel endless gathering evidence, aligning policies, and proving compliance across teams.
In this new piece, our CEO @stelios_sotiriadis breaks down the real pain points behind audit chaos and how we ve been rethinking the process at Warestack making compliance a natural outcome of good engineering practices rather than a fire-drill at the end.
I ve been on this platform for almost three years without interruption, reviewing dozens of products every day. I try many of them, but only a few have become part of my daily routine, ones I can t imagine living without.
I will pin, for example, 3 of them:
@TabMagic - Bookmark & Tab Manager I no longer need 500 tabs open; I can save them to my dashboard and close my entire browser.
