Rippling has acquired Reprompt. @parkerconrad and @fullung have a super ambitious plan for how agents do work for companies. Reprompt is joining to build out that vision. Look out for some dope products launching soon.
Rippling has acquired Reprompt AI! Rob and Lukas built agents operating at massive scale, tackling complex data, speed, and efficiency problems. Exactly the kind of ambitious, technical founders we love at Rippling. Excited for them to help build what’s next for Rippling AI.

Does what you'd expect from ChatGPT or Claude Cowork-- sites, slides, images, videos, reports, deep research. Except now you have full control

"We must comply with policy. It's fine." Meta Muse Glimmer thinks in a shorthand that feels dystopian to me.

Me: "Hi kimi" Kimi K3: "Hi. FYI I'm Claude" I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation for this...

Just took a flight with no wifi. Thank goodness I had local models on my laptop to warm my legs and screw up my code.

I'm semi famous today I did my taxes with Claude Code, got 5M views on Reddit, and @Inc picked it up Happy tax season, this is your year to quit TurboTax. I've used them for 14 years. This year I'm filing with Claude. And if I was afraid, I'd use FreeTaxUSA instead

I think the real AI slop is what I'm typing into Claude, not what's coming out...

It's happening. My Claude tax skill is here: nitter.gq/robbalian/status/20288…
I've been working on tax software for the past 5 years. This is the last year anyone will have to pay for TurboTax. You can try it yourself today: - add the Aiwyn Tax connector inside of Claude (link below) - give it access to your tax documents (W-2s, etc.) - ask Claude to prepare your tax return ...and that's it!
