I gave my agents a way to create Live Activities on my iPhone lock screen.

Their notifications were becoming noise, so I built Agent Activity to surface what matters, updating in real time

Some of my fav use cases with @chatgpt, @muse, codex:
- Birthdays of people I’m close with (from gcal + fb + linkedin), first thing in the morning
- What each agent is working on and what’s done
- Closest citibike dock with ebikes + train times before I head home
- Critical updates like root cause found for a bug, with a button to jump straight to the logs

Install the iOS app + connect the MCP in your agent(s). Your agents compose the layout and update a shared live activity as they work, or through recurring scheduled tasks.

Comment/DM if you want to try on testflight!

@Muse having its own app (vs others using iMessage) reminds me of Cursor building their own IDE instead of becoming a VS Code extension

Small things that make the UX feel complete: seeing the browser live, approvals, agent status, feed / ideas. IMO this will compound over time

Announcing the inaugural class of @a16z Design Engineer fellows!

73 design leaders selected out of thousands of apps from talented people around the world.

Some are currently building category defining products, zero to scale - like @diegozaks from Ramp, @ryolu_ from Cursor and Nicolas Garro at Vercel.

Others are design leaders at tech powerhouses like - @ammaar at Google, @maheen_sohail at Meta, and @davidhoang at Atlassian.

+64 more...

I built an agent that makes me justify my distractions.

- Texts me when I open distracting apps
- Gets firmer the more I use them, personalized to my motivations
- Blocks apps when I hit the limit
- Unblock requests only get approved if I can explain how they align with my goals
