In December, we launched Grep, an AI agent for business due diligence, as a research preview. Within two weeks, hundreds of people were using it in underwriting, maritime law, logistics, oil and gas, crypto, sales and marketing and much more.

Today, we're launching the next version with 20 AI experts across 16 industries to help you carry out deep research and get serious work done.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝘄𝗲'𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗽
Most people are still stuck with AI that doesn't help them get work done. Chatbots that aren't specialized in their domain or vertical agents built for 2024's models—rigid workflows that break easily.

Meanwhile, software engineers using Claude Code or Cursor are shipping 10x faster because those tools figured out what actually works. Modern coding agents load up the right context. Then get to work on your objective.

That's what Grep does too. You give it an objective—"research this company to verify it is legitimate," "analyze this market and identify potential leads," "tell me who previously owned this vessel," "evaluate this vendor's compliance risk," "carry out a background check on this employee." Grep picks the right Expert and starts investigating across 50+ specialized sources, including corporate registries, court records, financial filings, sanctions databases, shipping data, academic journals and much more. This deep research provides the context to help you complete your task.

Then you dig deeper. Ask follow-ups. Probe specific angles. The expert already has all the skills and integrations to help you get work done.

But work doesn't end with research. Grep helps you turn that research into docs, decks, slides, reports, and even code. The context carries through, so the AI Expert can help you execute, not just inform.

We're pretty excited about Grep and would love your feedback, especially if you are an early adopter of AI in your domain but aren't satisfied with your existing workflows.

If you want to try Grep, join the waitlist at grep.ai - we'll be starting with a small group of beta users and expanding as we make our AI Experts even better with user feedback.

P.S. Huge thanks to @awesomic for the launch video 🎬

The future doesn't just happen. Someone has to build it.

Last week I sat down with @zcabrams (@Stablecoin → Stripe) to talk about going from a Slack integration to a $1B exit in under 2 years.

Bridge was not an obvious bet in 2023. For one thing the timing for Bridge's launch was absolutely terrible. Terra Luna collapsed. FTX imploded. USDC depegged the week they launched. Every bank partner went under.

But here's what actually happened:

Bridge didn't wait for the stablecoin market to recover. They proved it out one use case at a time—cross-border payments, neo-bank infra, government payouts.

First customer?

Nicholas from Zulu, a fintech in Colombia messaging them on Slack. All their early customers came from Twitter. Zero enterprise sales playbook. Just compounding chaos that somehow looked like a hockey stick from the outside.

In this conversation, Zach breaks down:
- Why he's worked at every major fintech (Square, Coinbase, Brex)
- How they built with 1 designer and API docs
- What PMF actually feels like as a founder (spoiler: always broken)
- Why the Collisons wanted to acquire Bridge and he asked one of his own investors to talk stripe out of the deal (!!)
- His surprisingly bearish take on SF because of AI

Last month, we launched Agent Hub with a simple promise: Allow any compliance team to create, customize and deploy AI agents in minutes instantly scale 🚀

The response? Dozens of fintechs and banks signed up in our first month alone and are creating and running their own AI agents.

• Verify incorporation documents from any jurisdiction worldwide 🌍
• Plus support for EIN letters, proof of address and source of funds verification ✅
• Fully customizable workflows - pick what you want to extract and verify

Document verification is just one of 20+ features we've shipped since launch, including automatic UBO screening during KYB, agentic deep research for KYC and more granular configurations for AML screening.
