Philipp Schmid recapped how Gemini Co-Scientist worked with researchers across materials science, biology, and computer science. It proposed laboratory recipes that produced three atom-thin semiconductors on the first attempt, helped predict three of four measurements of engineered E. coli growth, independently designed an AI system that gave safer medical answers, and cut serious fabricated results in AI-written papers from 90% to 4%.

Dharmesh Shah recapped the soft launch of YouSpot, an AI-native Solo CRM with pay-as-you-go pricing, reporting 930 customers in three days against an expected 2–3 months to reach the first 1,000 users eligible for $1 base credits. He favored keeping the $1 price and giving those first 1,000 users 50 bonus credits rather than raising it to $2 or $5, though no final decision was reported.
