Tribe AI

I hear the only thing louder than NYC is Amazon Web Services (AWS) re:Invent (thanks for the line Allie K. Miller!). Excited and slightly terrified for my first re:Invent in Las Vegas next week. If you'll be there or know someone we should meet who is, send me a DM or find time with our team here: https://lnkd.in/erk6-cVE -- this link also includes details on 3 events the Tribe AI team is hosting in partnership with Anthropic. Hope to see you there!

Winter might be coming, but the energy was 🔥 this week at Tribe AI's new NoHo office — now perfectly situated between OpenAI and Anthropic NYC outposts 🎯 We’re filling up the space with brilliant new teammates (and yes, some furniture too)! First up: a Generalist B2B Marketer. Check out the role here: https://lnkd.in/e27pCiw4 — and help us meet our next hire. We’re also excited to use the office as a hub for our community of top AI engineers. Next week, we’re kicking off the first of many technical talks at our new HQ. Interested in joining this one or future events? DM me to grab a spot and stay tuned for more updates!

As the great philosopher, Rocky Balboa, once said, “Every champion was once a contender who refused to give up.” This week, the Tribe AI team gathered in Philadelphia (my new favorite city) to embrace our inner underdog and up our game. We didn’t spend the whole offsite just sitting around talking, although when we did it was in a beautiful setting—instead we got to work building AI products and solutions that would move the needle for our business. 2025 is all about showing, not telling, what AI can do, and we’re building the ultimate AI value creation case study with Tribe AI. Special shoutout to our team who flew in from all corners of the world, only to face skeptical customs agents wondering why anyone would choose Philly for an offsite... The only appropriate reply? We’re here to win 🥊

🚀🚀🚀 we're live with Ellipsis (YC W24) on Product Hunt! feedback so far has been awesome. check out the launch here => https://lnkd.in/e5Hmx-jA

Hamming AI (YC S24) automatically tests your LLM voice agent. An AI drive-through startup uses Hamming to simulate 1000s of simultaneous phone calls to get to 99.99% agent order accuracy. Try out their free voice demo: https://lnkd.in/gbwY2jzm. LLM voice agents currently require a lot of iteration and tuning. Most teams spend hours calling their voice agent to find bugs, change the prompt or function definitions, and then call their voice agent again to ensure they fixed the problem and didn't create regressions. This is slow and ad hoc. Built by Sumanyu Sharma and Marius Buleandra, Hamming's solution is 1000x faster than manual testing: (1) It creates diverse user personas and scenarios that mimic how real customers interact with your voice agent. (2) 1000s of its agents call your agent in minutes. It adds background noise, long silences, and interruptions for extra challenge. (3) It score the outputs for each conversation on metrics that matter to you (e.g., order accuracy, tone, friendliness). If you're struggling to make your voice agents reliable, Hamming will create personalized characters and make ~100 calls to your system for free. Just reach out to [email protected]. Congrats to the team on the launch! 🚀 https://lnkd.in/gevt--n5

Apparently "new position" posts get a ton of views on LinkedIn? I'll take advantage of the algo-magic here. 😉 Tribe is worth a peek from both: - the AI nerds I know - the Community nerds I know They're an AI "talent network" that's also a community, and from my experience so far they've really got their act together. It's a great source of consulting opps... - which keep me sharp/up-to-date - and provide some income But even better... - the community is actually *active* and *engaging*! - not just a bunch of people sitting around waiting for a gig. So it's also a great source of community wisdom as I build Knobi. ---- I've been in talent networks that happen to have a slack workspace before... But this really feels more like a community that happens to also build teams. --- 👏

As we dive into offsite season with 2025 planning in full swing, one topic dominates every executive agenda: AI. I've had the privilege of joining several executive planning offsites recently, collaborating with top enterprises to answer the question of how much (and where) they should be investing in AI in 2025 and beyond. The questions I've been asked have led to actionable strategy sessions that will deliver massive ROI over the next year+. It all starts with the basics: 👉 What are companies like us doing in AI and what impact are they seeing? 👉 What kind of multiplier effect can we expect on our business (where/how)? 👉 How should we plan for hiring and what skills should be optimizing for in an AI-first world? If you're asking similar questions and want to leverage AI to drive value for your business, let's connect. Know AI, will travel ✈
