The Cognitive Revolution · rss · 2026-08-11
Flo Crivello launched Lindy Teammate, a Slack-integrated AI employee that connects to company tools and accumulates shared team context. He argues that intelligence without context is far less useful than a regular coworker.
The interview explores the engineering realities of building next-gen AI applications:
- Agentic Memory Systems: Details editable file systems, context buckets, and memory retrieval tricks for handling large-scale tool outputs.
- Operations & Economics: Discusses negative gross margins, the impact of cache rates on costs, and dogfooding within engineering workflows.
- Model Stack & Security: Crivello shares his views on open-source models and controversially states he would ban the Chinese models he currently uses due to security and threat model concerns.
