Brixo Latest
We’re hiring!
At Brixo, we’re building the analytics layer for AI agents: a way for teams to see inside their LLM systems, understand how they reason, and improve them faster.
The shift from traditional apps to agentic systems has created a new challenge: once you deploy an agent, it’s hard to know why it did what it did. Evals only tell you if it worked, not why it failed. That’s where Brixo comes in.
To push this vision forward, we’re hiring for two foundational engineering roles:
Senior AI Engineer (Agent Analytics): help design the data and tracing systems that turn agent behavior into actionable insight.
LLM Engineer: work on the core of our agent analytics engine, developing new ways to extract reasoning and structure from model execution.
If you’re excited about AI infrastructure, observability, and building tools that make agents trustworthy, we’d love to talk.
What stood out
In case you missed it, here is our latest blog, which has gained a lot of traction.
What we read/listened/watched
OpenAI News
ChatGPT “Company Knowledge” Update
A rather significant update because there is an entire category of AI (mostly RAG based) solutions that sit across your company databases like Salesforce, Slack, and JIRA, and allow members to search and query.
So I’ve used it a lot, and I have a few tips:
Do not ask Agent Mode for spreadsheet help. It has deleted all data in the spreadsheet every time.
It’s brilliant for extracting formatted information e.g. copy my substack readership stats into a table for notion so that I can share w/ my team.
It’s a great co-pilot
What’s the fonts on this page?
Why did this LinkedIn post perform?
How did they make this homepage background work?
It’s hard not to have all my Chrome Extensions.
I’ve been guilty of this, and this article is a good reminder why not to do this.
Andrej Karpathy on the Dwarkesh Podcast
The podcast that shook the world. You’ve likely seen all the clips on X. Naturally, most are taken out of context. It’s a long listen that veers into some odd concepts like animal intelligence and its parallels to AI, but Andrej is worth a listen..
If you don’t know who Andrej is, he was an original founder of OpenAI, and truthfully, the mastermind behind the development of ChatGPT. He ultimately left OpenAI because of “personal reasons.”
Marc Andreessen & Amjad Masad Podcast Interview
Amjad Masad, founder and CEO of Replit, joins a16z’s Marc Andreessen and Erik Torenberg to discuss the new world of AI agents, the future of programming, and how software itself is beginning to build software.
Final Brick
I usually don’t link an article here, but I felt this one was appropriate.
This article is a nostalgic, tongue-in-cheek look at how “coding in the ’90s” imagined the end of programming.
