“Even today, we don't have fully self-serve onboarding. So we have a free playground where anybody can go through and see that their documents work. But in terms of actually using the API and deploying it, We manually onboard every single customer.”

“In fact, like the products we've shipped recently are the only APIs that hit human and even higher than human level performance on a variety of deep research benchmarks.”

“Key insight we built was that if you're building an API, it is going to be used by someone else. Which is like an obvious thing, right? But actually most people did not think it was obvious because there's so much in the code centric world, because you're alwa…”

“If you're familiar with something like notion or Google docs, it has an abstraction for just a literal doc there, but that's not good enough when you're dealing with technical abstractions like APIs. APIs have a very specific language and one character is off.…”

“Obviously the universe of things that you might want to automate is much bigger than the things that have very neat, clean APIs.”
