In this episode

I sat down with my co-founder Jonathan for our weekly AI clarity breakdown. We get into Gary Tan shipping a memory system for agents in 12 days while running YC, how Google, Palantir, Anthropic and OpenAI are each building deployed engineers differently, a staff engineer's honest update on what he trusts agents with now, and the Elon vs Sam Altman trial verdict.

Plus we generated an image of ChatGPT and Claude as dating partners, it's more accurate than you'd think.

If you're shipping with agents right now, you'll want to watch this.

Hosted by Robert Ta and Jonathan McCoy, co-founders of Clarity, reporting from the front lines of building an AI company.

Every week

AI clarity for founders, builders and tech executives. News with real takes, the memes that made us laugh, and the tactical meta we are testing on ourselves.
