Marc Andreessen: The real AI boom hasn’t even started yet
- ▶ 46:12 Marc Andreessen Co
- ▶ 1:16:36 Marc Andreessen and we've seen this happen before, like, is, is, is quad code going to get lapped the same way that, you know, get up co-pilot got lapped?
Inside OpenAI: 2026 is the year of agents, AI’s biggest bottleneck, and why compute isn’t the issue
- ▶ 39:29 Alexander Embirikos Um, I would argue, um, it's funny, actually not to confuse things at all, but like the first time we used the, the, the brand codex at OpenAI was actually the model powering GitHub Copilot.

Why ChatGPT will be the next big growth channel (and how to capitalize on it) | Brian Balfour
- ▶ 7:52 Brian Balfour And so it's amazing to see something like cursor overtake market share of something like GitHub co-pilot in nine months or less, right?
The AI-native startup: 5 products, 7-figure revenue, 100% AI-written code. | Dan Shipper (Every)
- ▶ 13:17 Dan Shipper So, you know, you've got co-pilot.
- ▶ 15:10 Dan Shipper So with Copilot, it was like a, you can tab complete, and that was like the beginning.

- ▶ 45:46 Lenny Rachitsky You guys said Copilot, the first tool in the world at this stuff. 2 times in the scene
- ▶ 57:37 Aparna Chennapragada I, I do use a lot of Microsoft products, GitHub Copilot being one of them, but I think the one that I maybe I'll pick is, um, Granola, I think is the name of the app.
Inside Devin: The AI engineer that's set to write 50% of its company’s code this year | Scott Wu
The rise of Cursor: The $300M ARR AI tool that engineers can’t stop using | Michael Truell

- ▶ 17:31 Lenny Rachitsky If, even if something looks like, okay, it's too late, there's GitHub Copiles out there, some other products.
- ▶ 44:12 Lenny Rachitsky Uh, along those lines, it's interesting that Microsoft was actually, like, right at this set, like, at the center of this first with an amazing product, amazing distribution co-pilot. 4 times in the scene
Building a magical AI code editor used by over 1m developers in 4 months: Inside Windsurf
- ▶ 6:23 Varun Mohan And at that time we were early adopters of GitHub co-pilot and we thought the coding space was going to get tremendously disrupted in the next coming years.
- ▶ 37:45 Lenny Rachitsky Also there's Copilot, but that's different.
OpenAI’s CPO on how AI changes must-have skills, moats, coding, startup playbooks, more | Kevin Weil
- ▶ 55:47 Kevin Weil Um, where it's just, so you have these tools like Cursor and Windsurf that, and GitHub Copilot that are very good at suggesting, uh, what code you might want to write.
A conversation with OpenAI's CPO Kevin Weil, Anthropic's CPO Mike Krieger, and Sarah Guo
- ▶ 11:00 Kevin Weil Like, if you look at, uh, take, like, GitHub Copilot, right, that was kind of the first AI product that really opened people's eyes to, like, this thing can be useful not just as, you know, Q&A, but for really economically valuable work.
