1/ @simrangsuri and I spent months on a consumer AI report. One of the clearest findings: word of mouth from friends and creators drives how people discover AI, while paid marketing barely moves the needle. That got me thinking about personal agents 🧵

Always be shipping ⏩ Always be partnering

The new mantra in the world of agentic commerce.

Instinct + @OpenTable

You all know how much I love restaurant reservations, so I’m excited to announce our partnership with OpenTable. Your Instinct can now book and manage your reservations, from finding a table to moving the time when plans change.

Try asking your Instinct to book your next dinner.

Kin’s most engaged users are older patients, ages 50 to 90, living in rural America and often managing several chronic conditions. Not your typical technology company.

@HealthcareAIGuy wrote a great piece with @DrParikhMBA and @AmitParikhMD on what they’re building at @MeetKinHealth. Three things stood out:

🩺 “The physician-patient conversation is one of the richest and most underused sources of information in healthcare.” Kin records your doctor visit, helps you remember what was said and what to do next, and lets you share it with family and caregivers.

🤝 Trust is the product. Kin is built for people who have never used AI. It works alongside the doctors patients already rely and trust.

⏭️ It helps you do what’s next. Kin knows what your doctor recommended, it has crucial conversational context so it can help you book the lab, find the specialist, or fill the prescription.

This combination of correct context + trusted pillars + valuable action taken = winning combination. Excited and proud to be an investor in Kin Health

NEW: Company Deep Dive — Kin Health

We sat down with CEO & Co-Founder Arpan Parikh, MD/MBA, who’s building the “Granola for patients” at Kin.

Built by physician founders for patients and caregivers, Kin turns visits into a longitudinal health record and is building an action layer for what comes next. 👇

While taking care of my dad, I had a binder of notes from doctors visits. Some handwritten, some in Apple Notes, some in Google Drive, it was a mess. I was a mess.

Every feature Kin ships is to the make the lives easier of patients and caregivers as they navigate their healthcare journeys. Starting with the basics - record and summarize what your doctor actually told you.

Simple changes, big difference.

Now available on Apple Watch ♥️

You asked, we shipped:

Tap Record on your wrist. Your phone stays in your pocket.

Phone visit? Put it on speaker and your watch records it.

Your summary and next steps land on your iPhone.

Always be shipping ⌚️

Fascinating few weeks for personal agents. Amazon blocks every major AI agent. Shopify now lets any agent check out with Shop Pay. For now, agent reach runs on partnerships. Hoping more follow Shopify so consumers can discover and buy with far less friction.

Check out anywhere with Shop Pay

Today, we’re expanding our partnership with @Shopify beyond finding, buying and tracking orders from Shopify stores. Now, your Instinct can use Shop Pay at any online store.

The card and address you've already saved in Shop Pay now work across stores that aren’t on Shopify, too. This makes it easy for your Instinct to make secure purchases on your behalf.

You approve every purchase in Shop Pay, and your card details never leave Shop Pay.
