Ep 25 teaser — Should everybody have AGI in their hands?
September 2, 2026
We're all told to "connect your data" and trust that everything gets smarter. Almost nobody shows you what happens when you actually do it, live, with no edit.
I did that today: Day 4 of driving youspot live — Dharmesh Shah's AI-native personal CRM, a second brain that pulls in your own LinkedIn, mail and calendar — on camera, through UNBOUND in Boston, September 16 to 18.
If you want to see what "connect your data" really looks like, gaps and all, this is it.
I imported my whole LinkedIn history on air. Not a safe subset — every category the screen offered:
1. Public profile
2. Connections
3. Invitations
4. Messages
Here's what came back:
1. The file I uploaded held 6,591 connections, 1,274 invitations and 45,148 messages.
2. What youspot logged after the show: 6,481 connections, 1,274 invitations, 45,146 messages.
That gap is more interesting to me than a clean number would've been. A tool that tells you the truth about what it kept beats one that just says "done."
Seven minutes after those numbers landed, Dharmesh Shah — who built this — commented: "Just finished watching this episode. We're making progress." Then he told me what to try next: start asking real questions about my own network. That's the part worth watching — a real product's next move, decided live, in a comment, in public.
The news board ran cold today too:
1. OpenAI is limiting who can use Astra, its new model for finding software flaws on its own.
2. Dell booked $60.9 billion in AI server orders last quarter.
3. World Labs shipped Atlas — it turns a photo or two into a 3D space you can move through.
And the honest miss: Anthropic's Fable 5.1 wasn't on our board today, and we said so on air. The rule that decided that changed the same day.
