Growth in Agentic GMV penetration will be the tell if consumer assistants are truly working
Last week: Shop Pay in Muse. This week: Shop Pay in Instinct. Shop Pay is a trust marker for both merchants and shoppers. It should work everywhere people shop, and we won't stop until it does. Can't wait to see where we are a week from now. This team doesn't stop.

Muse winning. Expected. 🤷‍♂️
We just integrated AssistantBenchmark.com into textstore.ai. Every benchmarked agent now shows its Assistant Benchmark score and public-opinion rating directly on its profile, making it easier to separate signal from noise as ~20 new agents launch every day! @DavidPawlan and the Assistant Benchmark team are absolutely crushing it manually testing and comparing agents ⚡️

1Password's having its AWS moment - new conversational AI assistants racing to build the buzzy AI front end - yet it's quietly becoming the vault all of them run on

Luckin down -10% YTD. Continued market pressures on net profit margins. Micro footprint and app only ordering helps cost optimization but seems more of a user growth story. Near 0 paid media and land grab funded by its own cash flow.
chinese coffee brand luckin coffee has taken over nyc with their $1.99 drinks now they have a cheeky partnership with duolingo i wonder how they manage to be profitable with these prices!

Claude is the enterprise web browser. Apps still exist but Claude is the functionality enabler on the demand side. Legacy SaaS will continue to remain valuable as the SOR, Anthropic will own discovery, intent, user attention, and interoperability between SOP MCPs.

Roblox should acquire Snap. Roblox gets a proven ad business (tech stack, relationships, demand-side scale). Snap gets Robux to monetize beyond ads. On the product side, a unified identity layer: one avatar that persists from chat to game to AR. And distribution flows both ways.

Google cloud, Azure, (Oracle), have an over-concentration on bookings from mostly OpenAI + Anthropic. They are also burning through trying to own the full stack across chips, models, clouds. They are hedging to reduce capability dependency while accepting revenue dependency.
