If I were building a new company today, I probably wouldn’t build a software business. 👀
Why? Frankly, AI is collapsing the cost and speed of building any new app or website, even pretty technical ones.
Now teams can move so much faster, whether you’re technical or not. I’m hearing of engineers shipping more code in a month than they had all of last year!
The real value is in:
✨ distribution
✨ brand + community
✨ unique data + networks
✨ trust
It also means the problems you solve have to tie to a deeper pain. Areas like Healthcare, Financial services, Education, Workforce access, are the kind of real-world complexity that need more than just software, they need real revolutions.
I’m so excited to see what people build in the next few months – venture scale startups or just new apps for fun. I really think we’re going to see a new generation of companies that act totally different than what’s come before… and I’m sure there will be some defensible diamonds in the rough ;)

The robots aren't coming for your job. But they ARE coming for your most annoying tasks. And honestly? I say we let them. 🤖
I love that I can delegate AI to take first passes at things like spreadsheet filling and presentation making so I can do more fun stuff like prototyping and building. 🏗️
These kinds of “dramatic” job changes have happened with every prior technology shift like computers, internet, and mobile. Remember how so few companies had mobile developers before the 2010s?
My point is that the pattern is always the same: new tech means new kinds of jobs.
There is so much exciting opportunity to learn with these tools, and knowing what to do with them will set you apart from others in the job market going forward.
The best product in the room doesn't always win. The one that's easiest to adopt does. For Slack, Canva, and Dropbox, none of them were first. But they were all frictionless and figured out how to get in front of people with the same fundamental problem.
They snuck in through the side door, walked into their customers' lives and became indispensable before anyone could say no (sorry IT teams everywhere 😅).
Everybody’s obsessed with humanoid robots. I get it, they’re cinematic. But the robots quietly changing industries right now don’t look like people at all.
They look like delivery bots on your sidewalk, robotic arms on a factory floor, and laser-wielding farm vehicles killing weeds at scale. The unglamorous robots are already working. The humanoid ones are still auditioning. If you’re building a practical robot for now, I want to hear about it.
Shoutout to @coco.robot , @carbon_robotics , Mytra AI, and @skildai for being pioneers in this field!

The most underrated power move of 2026 is learning how to use + what to delegate to your AI agent.
Agents are software that actually does things while you sleep. I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately because my morning no longer starts with me catching up; it starts with a digest my agent already built for me. We also have several in our company Slack at Offline that have been gamechangers for our team! Here’s a short video to help catch you up on what to use for your agent and what kind of tasks to hand to them.
Drop in the comments what you’re handing off to agents (or what you would if you could!). I’m genuinely curious. 🤖
I have a few new employees, and none of them need health insurance 🦞
A lot of people have asked me about my agentic set-up. My bot org handles my morning briefing, tracks every dollar, monitors my health (and sends my husband important updates!), and forwards me a nightly team digest. They are always on time and are never in a bad mood ;)
Swipe to meet the team — and yes I used AI to design this post but NOT to write this caption which is all me. If you’re playing with your own agents, would love to hear about your setup in the comments. What a time to be alive 🤖
AI in education is moving faster than the policies trying to regulate it. Are we teaching kids to think critically with AI or just letting them outsource the thinking? 🤖
We’ve never been more digitally connected and yet loneliness keeps rising. Dating apps gave us infinite options but somehow we ended up more isolated 📱 @222place is using AI to curate in-person group experiences where you actually meet real humans. No swiping, no endless texting, just organic connection. Would you show up to a dinner with 5 compatible strangers? ✨
If you’re not using AI for the holidays, you’re doing too much work. Save this for the full prompts 🎁✨ Which AI holiday hack are you most excited about?
I woke up 40 today. ✨ Last night, I pulled out a list I wrote on my 30th birthday — a whole manifesto of what I wanted for that decade. Build a brand people love. Help take a company public. Get stronger and healthier than I was in my 20s. Have 2–3 kids. More adventures with @davemorin . Make a real dent for young women and entrepreneurs. Try a hairstyle I was too scared to attempt. And yes… throw many themed parties in many outrageous fits.
So here we are. @michaelsullivanmedia caught me in my full “Britchella” look — absolutely not my everyday vibe, but the perfect costume for one ridiculous, unforgettable night. 🪩
Forty feels like a creative new journey in the best way. And honestly, I’m just getting warmed up. 🔥
