Self-improving agents and world models are two ideas I am watching most closely.
Skyfall AI put both into Steve, a harness built to run a business end to end. Steve records what went wrong after every loop and simulates the outcome of a decision before it acts.
Skyfall has bought three businesses since August and handed them all to Steve. AlphaSocial went from $3,600 to $8,100 MRR in three months.
Next, the Steve Startups Program will acquire five more businesses for up to $2M. Watch this space!
