💌 CoFounder’s note
This week I put on jeans for the second time postpartum and headed into SF for an enterprise AI event. It was great to be back in the thick of it, learning about what people are building and what products are being funded, and wearing some makeup after spending most of my days with my new daughter.
Something that stood out amongst all of the demos and founder talks was a comment from the Nectar Social team (sister cofounders!) about their newly posted Events & Community role. This is something that many AI companies are now hiring for - following a consumer approach even when servicing B2B or enterprise customers.
To me it highlights the importance of community across all facets of go-to-market, from a business lens, but also from an individual perspective. I've been leaning on this community and others as I prepare to “go-to-market” as a mom of two, as a business owner, as someone soon to enter a new decade. I'm grateful for the opportunity to help build this community of women learning about, building with, and reinventing themselves alongside AI. So, thank you to everyone here!
Have a great weekend,
Kendall
🪷 Tabi beta

🗞️ Adaptation signals
The fascinating market shifts shaping AI, work, and modern life. 3 things we’re paying attention to.
[Life OS] Meta wants into your email, your calendar, and your grocery list. Meta launched Muse this week, a personal AI agent that books travel, pays bills, fills out forms, and checks out on your behalf once you connect it to your email, calendar, payment methods, and apps for health, dining, and shopping. It's free to start, with paid tiers at $20 and $100 a month for heavier use. The timing is notable: Meta agreed to an $18 billion settlement over social media harms to kids less than two weeks before asking users for this new, much deeper level of access. Bloomberg
Why we care: Convenience always comes with a data ask, and knowing what you're handing over matters more than the agent's to-do list.
[Life OS] An Anthropic researcher just quit, warning AI could kill us all. Jacob Coxon, who spent three years on pretraining research at OpenAI and Anthropic, resigned this week and said publicly that the people building frontier AI believe it could end humanity within the decade. He's calling for pacing agreements between labs before anyone crosses into AI that can improve itself without oversight, a warning that lands the same week U.S. and U.K. lawmakers introduced bills to ban superintelligence development outright. Techcrunch
Why we care: When the people closest to the technology are the ones sounding the alarm, that's worth more attention than the marketing copy from the same labs.[Life OS] Apple's answer to the AI device wars: the phone you already own. At Apple's first keynote under new CEO John Ternus, the company made its case that the iPhone, not a new AI gadget, is the best personal AI device, pointing to its cameras, battery, and on device privacy. Siri AI now runs as its own app handling more than 2.5 billion requests a day across 300,000 apps, with a new Siri Recap feature that turns a meeting or conversation into a title and summary. One thing Apple didn't mention onstage: Siri now runs on Google's Gemini model under the hood. PYMNTS
Why we care: Apple is betting that owning your phone and your data beats bolting AI on from the outside, which is the exact tension Meta's Muse launch put on the table this same week.

Meet Michelle
[Work OS] AI in film, entertainment, and storytelling
Michelle Gold is a Santa Monica-based senior editor and AI creative artist with ten years of post-production experience across studio features, streaming originals, and broadcast television, with credits including Deadpool, Twin Peaks: The Return, HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Netflix's There's Someone Inside Your House.
Over the past two years she's built a parallel practice in generative AI production, taking projects from prompt through final delivery across Kling, Seedance, Runway, Wan, ComfyUI, and Magnific, most recently serving as colorist/finishing editor on Plumb, an AI/hybrid feature documentary for Imagine Entertainment. She moves fluidly between traditional editorial tools (Avid, Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve) and AI-native workflows, treating generative video as an evolution of filmmaking rather than a separate discipline.

Demo Night, Generative AI, Household Agent in 2 weeks~
🎓 Claude NYC Recap: Yesterday, VCM spent half a day at Anthropic's invite-only Claude SMB trainer program, one of 1,000 selected across 10 cities out of 50,000 applicants. The TLDR playbook to build with Cowork: delegate, describe, discern, double check. Useful, but still pretty technical. Through VCM's lens, it becomes: hand it off, set the scene, trust your gut, check your work. Same four moves, run through an EQ lens that fits real life better. Learn it alongside a community with real cultural range, and see what it means for your small business, your family, and your career. Behind the scenes.
🌙 Monthly Demo Night: Our flagship meetup will feature seasonal member demos, a Summer Lab recap (see below), and ✨ special guest Pixverse ✨ sharing a demo on AI creation for marketing, social, and personal storytelling. Demo night attendees will also receive complimentary access to their AI credits 🎁 to try it for themselves, so be sure to grab a seat!
