Customers Don't Care

Hey everyone,

Welcome back to Stocks To Space, where I curate the best ideas, tools and resources I’ve found each week as I explore my curiosities.

IDEAS
Customers Don’t Care

Customers don’t care that you have AI and Blockchain in your product.

Customers don’t care how cutting-edge your tech stack is.

Customers don’t care how cushy your office is.

They care that you solved their problem.

That you helped save them time, money or both.

So stop posting about how great your company social last Friday was or what your CEO thinks about the economy.

Nobody cares.

Especially your customers.

Introducing Gemini 2.0: the AI model for the agentic era

Google has been on a tear recently—last week’s coverage was Willow, and now it’s Gemini 2.0.

The mind-blowing thing about this release is how Google has transformed Gemini 2.0 into a foundation for building practical AI agents—showing us how they can actively work alongside us through projects that solve real-world problems.

• The model is fundamentally multimodal—able to take inputs of text, images, and audio and generate them.

• The model rivals OpenAI’s o1 models in terms of quality, and

• It’s pushing Meta’s Llama models from a speed standpoint.

Google then teased multiple internal agentic projects they’re working on:

• Project Astra is their universal AI assistant with a 10-minute memory, next to no latency and real-time Google Search integration.

• Project Mariner is a Chrome-based agent that handles web tasks autonomously in the browser.

• Jules is their GitHub-integrated coding assistant.

• Deep Research is an AI research assistant that can explore topics in-depth, craft multi-step research plans, and compile reports citing its sources.

Luca's take: The AI agents race is reaching a fever pitch. The fact that Google just jumped in with both feet reveals everything about where this is headed. Between Claude's computer use and now Google's browser-based agents, we're witnessing the early days of a fundamental shift in how we interact with computers. This has the potential to be unlike anything we've experienced before. Entire business models will emerge around agent-first workflows as the rest of the world reimagines the concept of human-computer interaction.

2025 may well be the year of the agent.

Quote I’m Pondering

“You’ve got to start with the customer experience and work back to the technology. You can’t start with the technology and try to figure out where you’re going to try to sell it.”
