                                    Exposing an operation as a tool is fairly straightforward. However, making it reliable for daily use means accounting for both how the software runs and how the agent decides to use it. This post looks at key design decisions that make platforms more consistent and efficient. It provides specific tips and tricks based on iteration and production experience.
                                &lt;/span&gt;

                                    A SAFE is a promise where an investor gives a company their money, then when the company finally sells stock at a real price, the investor gets shares, usually at a discount or capped at some valuation as a reward for going first. There's no interest, due date, or anything owed if that day never comes. For founders raising a small amount quickly, it's a good trade. For investors, the worst-case percentage locks the moment they sign.
                                &lt;/span&gt;

                                    Momentum should not be confused with a moat, which offers lasting defensibility against competitors. Startups can leverage execution and distribution to drive early momentum but need clear paths to defensibility, such as data effects, scale economies, or unique processes. With the rapid pace of AI adoption, startups must focus on building moats early to sustain growth and withstand competitive pressure.
                                &lt;/span&gt;

                                    People in the US pay far more for far worse coverage and lower life expectancy. However, the system is functioning exactly as it was designed. The employer-based system started as a way for employers to attract workers after a wage freeze in World War II. It became a system where employers gained significant tax benefits for buying healthcare on behalf of their employees over decades of layered rules. Healthcare is a super-regulated market, and it is intimidating for founders.
