- AI. "There's literally no point opening a laptop in the morning if you are not building an AI agent" – on point Mikas' comment as we observe many founders starting something new with AI. Here's few recent projects happening (can't keep up!)
Evergrowth | Leya AI | sintra.ai | ana | Clarus.AI | FlowTestAI | Ocoya | Psynotes.ai | Cor | WhiteBridge.ai | Hero.ai | AskToSell | Octocom | Alphanome.AI | Amigo: Software Engineer | AQ22 | AI Masters | isLucid | Superinterface | Milda.AI | Cyberalert.AI | Marty Kausas is building up momentum for the "next Zendesk"

- Creators. Ben and Gajus, Contra founders, visiting Vinted in Vilnius. Contribee has a large scandal as one of the founders took cash from the platform (not approved).

P.S. We did not have any issues with Contribee so far, but likely will have to move.
