Apple's Core AI framework allows developers to build, run, and deploy AI models in apps on Apple silicon. It enables access to the latest model architectures and inference techniques across the CPU, GPU, and Neural Engine. The Swift API gives developers control over model specialization, caching, and inference performance while making common tasks simple. Core AI integrates with Xcode and the developer toolchain.
Six people doing the work. Your headcount is one.
Your finance close runs in #finance. Stripe and QuickBooks reconciled, runway updated, posted Sunday night without you asking.
Engineering review lands in #eng. Viktor pulled the open PRs, left comments on auth-refactor, flagged a dependency blocking api-pagination.
Campaign brief lands in #growth: Meta CPA up 18%, recommendation to pause broad match, a draft landing page already deployed for the variant test.
You hired him on day zero. He lives in Slack and Microsoft Teams alongside your contractors and investors, connects to 3,000+ tools, pushes back when you ship something dumb.
"Viktor is now an integral team member, and after weeks of use we still feel we haven't uncovered the full potential." Patrick, Director, Yarra Web.
Agentic coding tools are redefining how developers write, test, refactor, and deploy software. Unlike traditional code assistants, agentic CLIs can plan tasks, modify multiple files, run commands, debug issues, and iteratively improve solutions with minimal human input — all directly from the terminal.
👨💻 Loop Engineering
Loop engineering is when a developer replaces themselves as the person who prompts the agent with a system that does it instead. The loop is a recursive goal where the user defines a purpose and the AI iterates until complete. The technology is still early - users have to be careful about token costs and still monitor to ensure quality - but this is likely the future of how people work with coding agents. Stop prompting coding agents and design loops that prompt agents instead.
Standard RAG retrieves once and hopes for the best. Google Research's new "Agentic RAG" for their Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform retrieves, checks if it got enough, and goes back for more. The key innovation is a "Sufficient Context Agent" that inspects retrieved snippets, evaluates a draft response, identifies exactly what's missing, and sends targeted follow-up searches. It's a multi-agent pipeline: orchestrator, planner, query rewriter, search fanout, and synthesis.
Anthropic's Dynamic Workflows for Claude Code changes the math entirely. Claude writes a custom JavaScript orchestration script on the fly, fans work out across 100s of parallel subagents, has independent agents try to break each other's results, and keeps iterating until answers converge. The coordination lives in code, not context, so the plan stays on track no matter how big the task gets.
The GTM bets that shouldn't have worked, and did
One grew revenue 50x after half his team quit over the strategy. One brought in 50K signups in a single day with no paid budget. One generated 100M+ views from a stunt that took 50 hours to conceive. One asked every prospect to demo the product themselves instead of demoing it for them.
None of them followed the safe playbook. They treated GTM like an experiment, moved before they had proof, and made bets most founders would never get approved.

AI News:
The AI listing race just got its heaviest hitter. OpenAI confidentially filed for a US IPO on Monday, a little over a week after rival Anthropic did the same. The ChatGPT maker didn't disclose size, price, or timing but it has been has reported that it’s eyeing a valuation of up to $1 trillion, with a debut potentially as early as September. The move comes as SpaceX pursues a record-setting $75 billion offering at a $1.75 trillion valuation.

Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with its hotly anticipated AI overhaul (pt. 2), rebranding its assistant to Siri AI, with new integrations and features coming two years after the initial Apple Intelligence rollout overpromised but underdelivered. Siri AI is powered by Apple’s own models, custom-built in collaboration with’ Google’s Gemini models, but not the same ones Google provides to its users.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and chief scientist Jakub Pachocki published a blog titled "Built to benefit everyone", breaking down the company’s goals as AI progress continues to accelerate — saying it's now entering a "third phase." The post detailed three core goals: building AI that automates the research process, accelerating the economy, and giving everyone “a personal AGI”.
Samsung is reportedly in the early stages of producing AI space computing chips for SpaceX's satellite chip ambitions. SpaceX plans to build satellites in space that process and beam data back to Earth. TSMC has also been named as a manufacturing partner. Early-stage chip production could include anything from prototype silicon to limited qualification runs.
Google's research tool is getting more autonomous. With Monday's update, NotebookLM can build a knowledge base for you by suggesting and finding sources via Google Search instead of making you upload your own first. The release also makes Gemini 3.5 the default model and adds exports across formats including PDF, .docx, .csv, .json, Excel, and PowerPoint.
What built your business won’t scale it.
The habits, responsibilities, and daily involvement that once drove growth can quickly become the very things that slow it down.
The real shift is letting go of the work you’ve outgrown.

BELAY supports that transition by matching you with U.S.-based Executive Assistants who bring the judgment and reliability needed to take work off your plate, without adding full-time overhead.
AI Tutorial
How to send emails directly from writing blocks in ChatGPT
Open ChatGPT and connect your Gmail
Ask ChatGPT to draft the email you want to send
Sample Prompt: “draft an email to my landlord Carl Hughes that the dishwasher is leaking again, include that it damaged the cabinet, and ask for a repair appointment this week”
When the email appears in a writing block, review and edit the text directly inside the block
Make sure the subject line, recipient, and message are correct
Click the email/send option inside the writing block
ChatGPT will send the email without you needing to leave the conversation
