Congratulations Google Workspace team on landing this incredibly important customer. It took years to get to this. Tackling technical and operational challenges on the way to IL4 compliance and more. Onward! cloud.google.com/blog/topics/pu…

This is also the reason why many people, including myself, are so skeptical of this "X App" business that Musk keeps talking about. Product bundling aims for a Reese's Peanut Butter cup but often produces something more like a bar of chocolate jammed into a jar of peanut butter

Much of the attention around ChatGPT/Bard/etc seems focused on the natural language response and its accuracy (or lack of it). Doesn't seem to be a lot of discussion about people's willingness to type natural language sentences into these things after years of typing keywords.

Great advice. The origin story of your product and company may be of interest to investors, but users and customers want to know what your product will do for them.

After 25 years of building technology products & companies, I'm now taking a crack at applying my experience alongside one of my favorite VCs. I sat down with the @Felicis team to talk about what drove this decision & what excites me about joining them: felicis.com/news/javier-so…
