Win a Helicopter Tour + $20K in Prizes by Building the Future of Consumer AI.
The consumer AI frontier is exploding, but the next 100-million-user product hasn’t been built yet. Think you can build it? Join us at AGI House for a 10-hour sprint to launch a live consumer AI app. You’ll get:

• Early access to Inworld Runtime, a new engine for scaling AI-native apps

• Licenses to Windsurf’s AI-native IDE

• Mentorship from teams at Inworld, Lightspeed, and others

• Opportunity to win $2k in OpenAI credits for every winning team

• A chance to pitch to Lightspeed’s Head of Gaming & Interactive Media

💭 We want to hear from you…

Windsurf just got torn split three ways: Cognition got the product, Google got the founders, and OpenAI got left out. The deal reshaped careers, companies, and trajectory but who felt it the most?

Jeff Wang, CEO of Windsurf, joined us at AGI House this past Sunday. We got to hear his thoughts, but we want to hear from you…

💡 Chris Lattner: Why Current AI Tooling Falls Short

Chris Lattner, CEO of Modular and creator of LLVM/Swift, joined us at AGI House to deep dive into the vision behind Mojo, Modular’s new programming model for AI developers, and the mission to democratize AI compute. Chris unpacks why current AI tooling falls short, the architecture shifts needed to unleash developer creativity, and what it really takes to make hardware-accelerated AI programming accessible to all. Plus, Chris shares his journey from CPUs to GPUs, what inspires him today, and how Modular is thinking about the future of open AI ecosystems.

📚 What we’ve been listening to, reading, and using…

• The Rise of Agentic Commerce | Emily Glassberg Sands (Stripe): A great 30-min rundown on why “intent, not clicks” is the next commerce rail

• Upstart Crusoe’s Audacious Plan to Take On Cloud Giants: AI infrastructure is breaking from the cloud giants and Crusoe’s play shows the future is modular and and startup-led

If you’ve been using any AI tools you love (or anything that could boost our productivity to Soham Parekh levels) we’d love to hear about it. Email: [email protected]

💻 Past Events Recap

Google AI Build Day - July 12, 2025

On July 12, we hosted 150+ Googlers with Composio and Fetch.AI in a joint Hackathon focused on pushing DeepMind’s latest capabilities and building functional products in <12 hours. Hackathon teams covered everything from multi-agent coordination to one-click video creation via Veo3, with many demoing fully functional products. We’d also like to congratulate Composio on their $29M Series A led by Lightspeed.

• 🥇: Agility - Younghoon Kim, Jisung Hwang

• 🥈: Recast - Aniket Kumar, Lifan Lin, Xunyi Jiang, Michael Li

• 🥉: Shinobivideos - Faraz Abidi

Thanks to all who joined and special shoutout to the winners. If you have insights into agent tooling, we’d love to hear from you. Email: [email protected]

Commerce Dinner w/ Stripe, a16z, & B Capital - July 15, 2025

We co-hosted a dinner with Stripe, a16z, and B Capital on Agentic Commerce and Payments, bringing together founders from Shopify, Perplexity, and more. Over the course of the evening, we covered vibe-coded “micro-storefronts,” AI-enabled web-scraping, token-level reinforcement learning, and other ways to catalyze AGI in commerce. The conclusion: autonomous agents will disrupt both ends of the e-commerce stack, for both consumers and merchants, and that a novel payments infrastructure will be a necessity for an AGI-powered marketplace.
