“#9 𝕏 Peter Yang raised a $2M seed round but is holding off on hiring so he can personally learn each role’s pain points. Instead, he’s onboarding AI agents for faster ramp-up and ongoing training improvements.”

#9 𝕏 Peter Yang raised a $2M seed round but is holding off on hiring so he can personally learn each role’s pain points. Instead, he’s onboarding AI agents for faster ramp-up and ongoing training improvements. #6 𝕏 Garry Tan – President & CEO @ycombinator argues that while most AI agent builders focus on the “prefrontal cortex” (planning and reasoning), true leverage comes from building the “cerebellum” that automates mundane, repetitive tasks.

“#15 in Greg Isenberg argues that AI agents have become the primary buyers on the internet, making MCP servers essential for any business wanting visibility.”
