Diddo uses computer vision to make your favorite shows natively shoppable! As they are an API, the user interface can be customized to whichever streamer is using them, (example below is one of their flows demonstrated over the Kardashian’s) As the episode comes to a close, we can see the three most popular items on the screen If you want to see what else is in the show, you can see the actual item as well as comparable items in different price ranges… just in case the actual item is a little out of our price range. From there, all of the purchasing happens on site—you never leave the stream you are on ? Excited by what the team is building, and how they are changing the online shopper experience To learn more about Diddo click here: https://lnkd.in/ej9DcfqN Link Ventures Rishi Nair Pamela Chen Ryan Sullivan #venturecapital #foundersjourney #artificialintelligence

A huge thank you to Philippe Rival, the CEO and Co-founder of Enlaye, for taking the time to speak with me on last week’s LinkedIn Live Philippe's journey from a bridge-loving civil engineer to a tech entrepreneur was inspiring If you missed the livestream… my top 3 takeaways were: 1.) Bridging the gap with AI - Online is transforming the construction industry by addressing the lack of a single source of data truth 2.) Risk management in construction -The construction industry is primarily a cash flow business with high levels of risk. Enlaye is positioning itself as a built world risk #AI company, helping stakeholders understand what they're signing up for, thus mitigating potential risks 3.) Vision for the future - Enlaye is not just about understanding the present; it's about shaping the future of the construction industry. With their unique format for data in contracts, they're helping make sense of a lot of data when time is of the essence, primarily during the bidding phase Philippe's love for bridges has evolved into a mission to build bridges between technology and construction ?? Excited to see how Enlaye continues to innovate and disrupt the built world To learn more about them click here: https://lnkd.in/eFe9DdYB Link Ventures #venturecapital #artificialintelligence #foundersjourney

Super interesting to have the brilliant and fun entrepreneur John Werner join the meetup and share his thoughts and ideas with all of us. John was once described to me as a “legend” by someone I think is one too. He puts on amazing events around Boston and globally, like Imagination in Action, as well as helping entrepreneurs with his Link Ventures and lecturing them at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Amazing to share the stage with the thoughtful Sami Shalabi, Carol Meyers, and Dawn Brelsford to talk about the realities of build and deploying Gen AI in the real world. Thanks Judah Phillips for organizing such a great gathering in Boston. The Boston AI scene is so vibrant. Thanks Microsoft for hosting us!Boston Generative AI Meetup: Building a Hub for AI Innovation and Collaboration The Boston Generative AI Meetup has become a dynamic focal point for professionals, researchers, entrepreneurs, and AI enthusiasts in the Boston area. Founded with the mission to foster community, share cutting-edge knowledge, and advance local AI innovation, this meetup is designed to serve as an interactive platform for those passionate about generative AI.
