- NVIDIA builds the AI future with an accelerated supply chain
The planning machinery behind an AI infrastructure company. A useful reminder that technological growth still depends on coordinating physical supply.
Discovered
- DePoly
Swiss technology for recycling PET and polyester into raw materials. Circularity becomes more tangible when you look at the chemistry and the industrial process.
- Aldine
An early-access family-office platform built around local data, persistent context and traceable agent actions. An interesting example of AI designed around a specific operating environment.
- Speechify
Turning written material into something you can listen to. Sometimes the useful improvement is changing how information reaches you.

Discovered
- Aaru
Simulated populations for testing products, pricing and decisions. The important question is how well simulated behaviour predicts what real people subsequently do.
- Onyx Security
A control layer for enterprise AI agents. Visibility, permissions and runtime enforcement become more important as software gains the ability to act.
- Is Agentic
A practical look at whether agents can discover, understand and use a website. The findings underneath the score are the useful part.
- TUMO Center for Creative Technologies
Creative technology education through making things. The student work is a good place to start.
- Alpha School
A school model organised around adaptive learning and time for practical skills. Worth examining both the educational design and the evidence behind its claims.

- AlphaEvolve: A Gemini-powered coding agent for designing advanced algorithms
An agent that proposes algorithms, tests them and improves the promising ones. The evaluator is as important as the model.
Discovered
- Glass
An AI workspace built around the idea that company knowledge should compound. The useful question is what the organisation remembers after an individual finishes a task.
- Lace Lithography
Developing chip-patterning technology using atoms instead of light. A reminder that the future of computing also depends on difficult advances in physics.
- REA: Reverse Engineer Anything
Agent-assisted investigation of applications and binaries. Interesting tooling for understanding how existing software actually works.

- The Grand Disintermediation
A thought experiment about agents on both sides of commerce. What happens to marketplaces when finding and comparing alternatives costs almost nothing?
- Google SynthID
Watermarking generated content gives provenance something concrete to work with. It answers a narrower question than whether something ‘sounds like AI’.
- The Matrix's code came from sushi recipes—but which?
One of cinema's most recognisable images of technology began with Japanese cookbooks and hand-painted characters. A lovely piece of design history.
Discovered
- Giuseppe / NotCo AI
AI applied to formulation and physical product development. An interesting connection between proprietary data, scientific experimentation and commercial constraints.

Tried
- Golpo AI
Turning a document into a whiteboard explainer. Making a video is getting easier; deciding what needs explaining still takes work.
Discovered
- Fish Audio
Expressive speech generation and voice tools. Another part of the production process becoming accessible without a studio.
- Starlink Roam
Portable satellite connectivity, and what changes when reliable internet becomes something you can carry.

- Artificial intelligence now beats some of the best human forecasters
A reminder that the value of AI is increasingly measured by judgement and prediction, not only automation.
- Google's Gemini AI hacked three companies in security test
A sharp example of why capable agents require security boundaries, observability and clear accountability.
- Jev is now available to everyone
A new agentic development environment moving from a controlled waitlist to general availability.
- Bending Spoons and the case for sovereign AI
Why most AI requests can run on self-hosted open-weight models while frontier models are reserved for the hardest tasks and higher-level review.
- Countering misuse of AI: September 2026
A detailed account of sophisticated AI misuse and the safeguards used to detect, disrupt and learn from it.
