David Singleton shared thisExcited to announce that Hugo Barra, Nicholas Jitkoff and I are joining Meta Superintelligence Labs with the entire Dreamer team today. The last few months have been extraordinary: we built Dreamer, put the beta in the world just a month ago, and saw magic come to life for real people. Since then, thousands of people have used Dreamer to build personal, intelligent software with our Sidekick in the world’s newest and most popular programming language: English! They're building and sharing agents to manage email, calendar, and to-do’s, create learning tools for their kids, learn new languages, plan trips with friends, become better cooks, help them with work, achieve their health goals, or simply to creatively express themselves—all sorts of surprising and uniquely personal needs. These are agents as unique as the people building them, because they're built exactly the way each person wants them to be. We’ve captured some of our favorites at https://lnkd.in/gz8ZMxK2. What matters most here isn’t the early momentum; it’s what Dreamer has enabled people to do. People are building things they’ve wanted for years. They’re solving real, important problems no traditional software company would ever prioritize, because they’re too niche, too bespoke, too personal. What company would ever build for an “n of 1”? Our bet from the beginning has been that software should be personal, malleable, and shaped by the person using it. The constraint was never people’s imagination. It was the fact that building software is out of reach for most people. This early chapter gives us conviction that the idea resonates, the need is real, and the moment is now. Alexandr Wang was helpful to us from the very beginning, and when we showed Dreamer to Mark Zuckerberg and Nat Friedman earlier this year, it was clear right away that we share the same vision of the future: one where billions of people have the power to create software that makes their lives better. We’re thrilled to accelerate this mission by joining Meta Superintelligence Labs and licensing our technology to Meta. Read more at https://lnkd.in/gGEurCDj. Deeply grateful to our investors Jill (Greenberg) Chase and Nina Achadjian for supporting our vision for a more personal, creative, and intelligent future for software. Thank you for the trust, the thought partnership, and for being in our corner at every step. To everyone in our community who built with us: thank you. You've taught us what's possible, and you're the proof this works. We're so grateful, and we're just getting started!

David Singleton reposted thisDavid Singleton reposted thisHealthcare software was designed for humans. Multi-step, nuanced workflows like prior auth submissions, EHR note creation and eligibility verification. The kind of work that can't be reduced to an API call. That's what AI agents in healthcare are being asked to automate. And the infrastructure to do it reliably doesn't exist off the shelf. That's why Felix Eckert and I started CloudCruise: a coding agent to generate automation scripts, fully managed infrastructure to run them at scale, and a maintenance agent to keep them working as portals and EHRs change. Today, we're announcing our $5M seed round, backed by Floating Point, Meridian Street Capital, Twine Ventures, Refract Ventures and angels like Zachary Lipton (CTO, Abridge) and David Singleton (fmr. CTO, Stripe). If you're building AI agents that need to operate payer portals or EHRs, we'd love to talk. And we're hiring!

David Singleton shared thisI've been thinking a lot about community as it’s our fundamental product development strategy, here’s how we're approaching it at Dreamer. The core idea: shipping fast only compounds if you're learning fast, and that learning doesn't come from dashboards or support tickets. It comes from actual contact with the people using what you've built: watching them use it, seeing how they react, and letting that directly inform what you do next. What's different about this moment is that your community can now build alongside you in ways that weren't possible before. That changes what community means for a platform. At Dreamer it isn't a function that sits alongside the product. It's just as foundational, and we treat it that way. Read my full write up in the link in comments.

David Singleton reposted thisDavid Singleton reposted thisNever knew getting the chance to build my own agent would be this fun! I recently got access to Dreamer and started experimenting with it in different parts of my life. One of the first things I built was a personal health coach. Earlier this year I started working with a trainer, and he wanted visibility into everything: macros, workouts, measurements, schedules. I was juggling like five different tools just to keep him updated. So I built an agent in Dreamer that pulls it all together and does most of the work for me. Daily logs. Weekly reports. A recipe book that can read a photo of a meal and calculate the macros. My cycle synced in. Everything in one place. The coolest part is basically having a coach in my pocket. If I ask what to eat for dinner, it looks at my day so far and gives me a recipe that keeps me on track. Every Sunday it automatically sends my trainer a full breakdown. No manual work. Just done. And the wild part: I didn’t write any code. I just described what I wanted and watched it come to life.

David Singleton shared thisSome of the best agents aren’t coming from labs. They’re coming from people building stuff for themselves: for work, for fun, on nights and weekends. People like you. A weekend project can become something extraordinary; a personal tool that solves a real problem, a creative experiment no one but you would ever think to build. That’s the fun part…the hard part is going from “this is so cool” to “this is a sustainable way to spend my time.” We want to change that. Today, we’re launching our inaugural Builder in Residence program. It’s a paid fellowship where your ONLY job is to build agents in Dreamer. There’s zero pressure to monetize, no “side-hustle” stress…. Just you, your ideas, and our platform (and team!) to help you bring them to life. We’re looking for all kinds of builders: Developers, designers, people who’ve never touched code but can’t stop thinking about a problem they want to solve. We want all of it. If you’re excited to help us create the new world of agents, you’re a good fit. We want to support you as you build whatever you’ve been dreaming about. So – show us what you can make! Build an agent. That’s the application. Applications are due March 29nd at 11:59 PM PT. Come build with us! Link in comments below 👇

David Singleton shared thisHad the genuine pleasure of being back at Stripe last week for their Friday Fireside with Patrick Collison and John Collison. Of course I gave a Dreamer demo, and it was amazing to see how quickly people not only "got it," but also the specificity of what they immediately wanted to build: -a project management agent that auto-generates gantt charts -a Stripe wave visual tool -an emoji mood mixer -a SaaS integration guide generator… …and of course, the Stripe llamaverse (iykyk - see link in comments) The best thing about this moment is that you don't need a team of engineers to build any of these. You can describe the problem, and it just works. That's what Dreamer is for. We're at this inflection point where the infrastructure exists to let anyone shape the tools they actually use. Not someday. Now. We've got a lot of Stripes using Dreamer now, and I'm so excited to see what my old crew builds on our new platform!

David Singleton shared thisLast week at #UpfrontSummit, I had a great discussion with Clay Bavor at Sierra, Laela Sturdy at CapitalG, and Shirin Ghaffary at Bloomberg talking about the next era of AI agents—the moment we find ourselves in now. This moment in time feels a lot like early mobile. Back then, smartphones were obviously going to change everything. The hard part wasn't the hardware. It was everything that had to be invented around it. New UI paradigms, permission models, how things run in the background but spare battery. We had to figure all of that out so it could work for real people. We're experiencing that exact moment again…only it’s happening even faster. LLMs are the breakthrough. But the actual work—the last mile…really the last 80 miles—is making agents work safely and reliably in the real world, for everyday people. Clay talked about this beautifully: it's not just about agent frameworks and models. It's governance, retrieval, how you wire things together. That last part is where real value lives. What's energizing is seeing what's actually possible when the barrier drops near zero. Some recent examples from Dreamer: - A biomedical researcher asked me to build him an agent to help confirm or refute hypotheses. We built it in an afternoon. He loved the results. - Someone on our Marketing team spun up their own internal tools for our launch. They changed the experience on the fly as they saw what they really needed, all without an engineer. - There's a multiplayer D&D game someone made where you play in natural language, an agent figures out what happens to the entire world, and generates pictures of what's next. It can be unhinged in all the best ways. - And one from my personal life: I built a bespoke app for a ski trip I went on with five friends last week. All our information was in one place: lodging info, lift status, recommendations, expense tracking, bill splitting. It was useful for the weekend and now it's gone. That's the point. Software has become something you can cook up quickly—a home-cooked meal. By the end of this year, a lot more people will have personal agents they rely on throughout the day. The winners won’t be those with the fanciest demos. It’ll be whoever makes it work reliably, securely, and where people already live (phone, web, email, car, home devices…eventually new form factors we haven’t even named yet). We're in the early days of protocols (MCP, skills, various agentic commerce protocols) kind of like the web in the 90s with HTTP and gopher and telnet. Standards will emerge, but right now it's beautifully open. Our job at Dreamer is to integrate with all of it, to deal with everything under the hood so you don't have to think about any of it, you can just build. If you want to build something that actually matters and works for you and people and things you care about—come try it. We're in beta at dreamer.com So, what will you build? 👇Check out the full panel discussion in the comment below

David Singleton liked thisDavid Singleton liked thisDid you know that 62% of European founders rely on US AI infrastructure?! That’s actually crazy. But if you’re building a company, you use the best and fastest product. And right now, a lot of the best stuff is still coming out of the US. Take Anthropic, for example (the US company behind Claude, one of the biggest competitors to OpenAI’s ChatGPT). They’ve built their whole positioning around AI safety and reliability. And reportedly just filed for a blockbuster $1tn+ IPO which is INSANE! Things can change very quickly, of course, but at the moment it’s one of the most exciting companies in the world. This past weekend in Monaco, my VC firm, @Rosberg Ventures, hosted our flagship event at the GP and brought together some really epic founders, including SpaceX. SpaceX is super fascinating. And yes, it’s not “AI infrastructure” in the obvious way. But when you look at Starlink, satellites, Starship, launch costs, and eventually even data centres in space, you see how big this can become. There are completely new markets coming. European sovereignty is, of course, super important. But for me, that means building things that are genuinely world-class. That’s the game. What do you think: can Europe build AI companies that founders around the world depend on? Let me know?

David Singleton liked thisDavid Singleton liked thisSierra is raising $950 million from new and existing investors, led by Tiger Global and GV, at a valuation of over $15 billion. We now have more than $1 billion to invest in becoming the global standard for companies wanting to transform their customer experiences with AI. Two years ago, most of our customers’ agents were limited to support — tracking orders, troubleshooting devices, and resetting passwords. Fast forward to today, and AI agents built on Sierra are powering all parts of the customer life cycle, from purchase consideration to product discovery to retention and more. We are so excited for what’s ahead, and are deeply grateful to our customers and partners for being on this journey with us. https://lnkd.in/gsnET2Qv

David Singleton liked thisDavid Singleton liked thisToday is my last day at Google after more than 18 years. It is hard to walk away from a job and a team I love, but it felt like the right time to take a break and make a change. I'm excited to discover what the future holds, and look forward to this break to pursue different adventures, including travel, the arts, fitness, and learning. Google’s mobile efforts evolved incredibly during my tenure. When I joined in 2007, my first role was test lead for the yet-to-be-released Google Search app on BlackBerry, which later was ported to other popular mobile platforms of the day (Symbian, Windows Mobile, and the newly released iPhone). Shortly after that, my focus pivoted to Android, and I’ve had a blast driving quality for a variety of innovative Android OS and App features. It became especially exciting ~11 years ago when the Pixel Hardware program started. I loved the opportunity to collaborate on both Hardware and Software quality and found it satisfying to improve the user experience of products that billions of people use daily. Thank you for allowing me to be part of this mobile revolution. I want to specifically thank my manager Andrei P. for the support and opportunities he gave me over our 14 year collaboration. Under Andrei’s leadership, the London Android team thrived and earned a reputation for successfully delivering complex projects. That credibility facilitated more and more interesting projects to be led from London (including work on Foldables, Tablets, Onboarding, AI Experiences to name just a few), which ensured I always had a stream of engaging work. I also valued the freedom he gave me to lead diverse and complementary initiatives that made my role more varied and personally meaningful, such as leading the London Google Women in Engineering group, leading the European Pixel Dogfood program, teaching classes on Android Release Processes, and hosting the European Android Demo sessions. To my Google co-workers: I'd work with you all again in a heartbeat. Thank you for making my time at Google so special. It’s a small world, and I’m hopeful that our paths will cross again, whether socially, professionally, or both. I wish you the best, please keep in touch. Having more time to spend with friends, family, and past co-workers is one of the things I’m looking forward to about this break. I’m curious what you have been up to in life and in work. Londoners, let’s catch up over something soon, and non-Londoners, please say ‘hi’ if you swing through London or message me if you want to catch up over a video call. About the photo: I powered on my trusty G1 (the first Android phone) and was delighted to rediscover the first Android app I wrote to learn the basics of Android app development. I love the Italian card game Cirulla, and the Italian students who taught it to me kept score by drawing boxes to visually count up to the 51 point goal. So that was my very basic app, and I love that the phone still works today.

David Singleton liked thisExcited for what Vivek Sharma & Calvin Grunewald are building with ArchAstro. Inter-company agents are the new 🔥 and so much of going back and forth between teams at different companies can be automated - starting with forward deployment engineers! These guys were elite Stripe / Meta engineers before starting this. Couldn't be more excited to back them! #hiring #startups #venturecapitalDavid Singleton liked thisWe’re 3 months into building ArchAstro.ai. Ironically we have more customers and design partners than invitations to exclusive AI dinner parties 😛. Our CTO and co-founder Calvin has built developer platforms and products across Stripe, Meta and startups. I've led organizations and products across Stripe, Meta and Microsoft. We've seen the same business problem everywhere: product teams ship fast but customer deployments lag and integration debt adds up to unmanageable levels. Post-sales and forward deployed engineering teams do superhuman work to keep customers happy AND onboard new ones. We have a better solution with ArchAgents (archagents.com). Our runtime is already resonating with customers as we solve cross-company problems like accelerating time to revenue, complex deployments, messy migrations and integration debt. We’re hiring and if you're interested in cross-company agent workflows, especially post-sales and FDE use cases, please get in touch! We're adding more partners over the next few weeks as we expand our team.

David Singleton liked thisDavid Singleton liked thisHuge congratulations to David Singleton and the entire Dreamer team on joining Meta Superintelligence Labs. 🎉 For those who know David and his track record as former CTO of Stripe, this update will come as no surprise. The idea behind Dreamer was deceptively simple but genuinely radical: What if anyone could build their own software, just by describing what they wanted in plain English? No code or technical background required, just imagination. 💭 Dreamer launched its beta barely a month ago, and within weeks, thousands of people were already using it to build personal AI agents - managing their inboxes, creating learning tools for their kids, planning trips, tracking health goals. Things no traditional software company would ever prioritise, because they're too niche, too personal, too uniquely individual. As David put it: “The constraint was never people’s imagination. It was the fact that building software is out of reach for most people.” The team at Meta saw that opportunity immediately. The entire Dreamer team, including Co-Founders Hugo Barra and Nicholas Jitkoff, are now joining Meta Superintelligence Labs, with Dreamer's technology licensed to Meta, to scale this vision to billions of people. 🚀 This is exactly the kind of bold, world-changing ambition that the GBx community is built around, and we can't wait to see what comes next! 💪 #BritishFounders #GBxFounders #AI
