Mickey Banks, a domain specific personal AI assistant for college basketball coaches and scouts, is able to credit other scouts work like @OntheRadarHoops all from a text message. If you need a quick read on a HS basketball prospect, try it at textmickey.com.

College coaches are always on their phones texting about players. When I was scouting over a decade ago, I remember getting countless messages asking, “What do you think about so-and-so?” Those conversations mattered. Sometimes, a simple text exchange could help a student-athlete earn a college scholarship. Being part of that process was incredibly rewarding. Now, with AI, we have an opportunity to scale player discovery and make that same level of insight accessible to coaches, scouts, and fans. That’s why I built Mickey Banks, a personal AI basketball scout you can text just like you would a real scout. Ask Mickey about a player and get a quick scouting report, stats, scholarship offers, commitments, and recruiting insights in seconds. No new apps to download. No complicated platforms to navigate. Just text a question and get an answer. Making player discovery as simple as sending a text. Try it at textmickey.com

This is a swiss army knife for building complex programmable stablecoin flows without having to deploy smart contracts.

This is very cool. Devs can use @arc Studio and Aomi to test smart contract exploits.

Love to this this type of onchain FX innovation on Arc

ICYMI - check out @jerallaire talking about how Circle expanded CCTP to third party assets on @a16zcrypto podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

I used @typesafeai Jev to qualify how much of a scout a user is when onboarding to Ranklog.app. It runs through their timeline to see how times they post about recruits.

Getting your first user for a product is very hard. It’s cool to see @courtcred using Ranklog.app for high school basketball rankings.

It was cool to use @arc Studio to build the smart contract that stores a public record of all the rankings in Ranklog.app. I was able to write, scan, and deploy the contract in Studio then bring the contract details over to Cursor with Studio’s CLI for building the frontend and backend. Arc Studio is an onchain development tool that meets builders where they are.

Over the years, I’ve built a lot of technology in the amateur sports space. Most of those products focused on athletes, but this time I’m building for scouts. Scouts play an important role in helping athletes get discovered by college coaches through rankings, scouting reports, camps, and social media. I built Ranklog.app to give scouts a better way to create, manage, and share their rankings. Every ranking and revision is recorded on @arc, creating a permanent, verifiable record of the players a scout identified and when they recognized their potential. Great scouts often see talent before the rest of the world does. Ranklog gives them a way to build a track record of it.

ICYMI…CCTP now supports third party asset bridging.

If anyone was having issues with the Terminal in Arc Studio, it's working now

If the mass market consumer had a visual of an agent being a person sitting at a computer that can do any digital task, we’d have Instagram/TikTok like adoption for products like Instinct

I see the Proceeds team has been heads down shipping.

Merging a PR built by your Cursor agents while getting a morning bike ride is the type of life hack AI provides

Build anything onchain w/ Arc Studio

Franklin makes your wallet intelligent and now it supports @arc. It can access frontier models, real-time price feeds, and autonomously transact.
