TOGETHER WITH FUNCTION
160+ lab tests. 1,000s of signals. 1 healthy life.
You know your age. But do you know how your body is aging? Your Biological Age reflects how your body is doing at the cellular and molecular levels, and is calculated based on certain lab results.
With Function, you get a deeper view of your body with 160+ yearly lab tests — 5x more than a typical annual physical — covering heart, hormones, thyroid, liver, kidneys, nutrients, inflammation, and more.
Each result is reviewed by a doctor and translated into plain language so you know where to focus next. Track changes over time, get member pricing on MRIs and CTs, and see early signs of thousands of diseases often before symptoms show up.
Labs in 2,000+ locations. No insurance or referrals needed. HSA/FSA eligible.

Trade markets inside ChatGPT
🚨 Our Report
Financial infrastructure startup Liquid has launched Co-Invest, an application that lets users analyze markets and execute trades directly inside ChatGPT and Claude. The tool supports over 500 markets, including cryptocurrencies, equities, forex, prediction markets, and pre-IPO shares, turning AI assistants into full trading terminals.
🔓 Key Points
Users can fund accounts via cards, on-chain transfers, or external wallets, then place trades without leaving the chat interface, with options to set stop-loss and take-profit levels before confirming orders.
Liquid operates the execution and account infrastructure using a non-custodial model, routing trades to external venues like Hyperliquid, Lighter, and Ostium, while ChatGPT and Claude serve as the user-facing interface.
The product is available in all 50 US states and most international markets, with standard restrictions in sanctioned jurisdictions. CEO Franklyn Wang called it "a shift from human-limited capital allocation to intelligence-augmented capital allocation."
🔐 Relevance
The launch points to a broader push to embed financial services directly into AI assistants, collapsing research, funding, and execution into a single chat flow. For brokers and trading platforms, this raises a competitive question: if users can trade inside the tools they already use for analysis, will they still need standalone platforms? The launch follows MoonPay's ChatGPT crypto integration and OpenAI's Plaid-powered personal finance tools.
The AI Executive's Pass is live
Most business leaders are already paying for 4–6 AI tools they found separately, at full price, with no coordination between them. The AI Executive's Pass is the fix.
$11,000+ in tools and resources built for executives actually implementing AI — not just reading about it.
Inside: Notion, beehiiv, ListKit, Make.com, Paperform, Intercom, a private GPT training session, and a LinkedIn growth consult.

THE BUSINESS BRIEFING: OPERATIONS (powered by Upscaile)
Hirschbach (mid-market temperature-controlled trucking, multi-location) was burning 9 days on average to bill shipments due to manual document review. Bills of lading, proof of delivery, lumper receipts, and rate confirmations all required human classification, shipment matching, and data entry. Staff spent 111 hours/week just sorting exceptions. Drivers faced constant resubmission requests. Cash sat frozen.
Tool used: Hyperscience -- intelligent document processing platform that auto-classifies, extracts, and routes freight paperwork.
Result: Days to bill dropped 60% (9 days to 3 days). Document turnaround dropped from 4 hours to 10-15 minutes. 288 hours/week saved in 2025. Manual task backlog fell 70% month-over-month. Document classification accuracy hit 98-99%.
The lesson: AI extraction only works when you design for exceptions upfront. Hirschbach built validation queues where low-confidence fields route to humans, then fed corrections back to improve the model. Without that loop, accuracy stalls.
Steal this: Audit one document-heavy process this week (invoices, contracts, compliance forms). Map where humans currently review, classify, or key data. That's your automation target—but only if you can route ambiguous cases to validation before they hit your system of record.
TOGETHER WITH PITCH
Client-ready decks in seconds. No, really.
Because Pitch Agent builds from your approved templates, every deck it generates is on-brand from the first draft. Prompt it, refine your messaging through chat, tailor content for different clients, and deliver decks via live links with audience engagement tracking. The entire presentation lifecycle — from creation to delivery — in one place.
THE POLICY CORNER
Kazakhstan enforces its first AI law with fines for labeling failures and risk violations
Kazakhstan's AI Law took effect January 18, 2026, requiring owners and operators of AI systems to label synthetic outputs, manage risk continuously, and conduct annual audits for high-risk systems. Applies to any AI system deployed within Kazakhstan's borders, regardless of where the company is based. High-risk systems include those whose failure could trigger infrastructure collapse, economic damage, or mass harm.
Deadline: In effect now. Subordinate regulations rolling out through 2026.
Your move: If you deploy AI internationally, classify your systems by risk level and autonomy now. High-risk systems increasingly require audits to maintain market access. Start with transparency: label AI-generated content in machine-readable format and build visible user warnings into your workflow.

The Money: Healthcare admin gets its infrastructure moment
While consumer AI plays with chatbots, enterprise investors are backing systems that eliminate entire cost centers. Healthcare's $1 trillion admin burden now has real buyers, and they're writing checks at infrastructure-level valuations.
Deals to know:
Commure (Growth, $70M at $7B valuation) — AI agents handling revenue cycle work across 500+ healthcare organizations at 85% automation. Completing the calls, notes, codes, claims, and appeals software couldn't touch. Investors: General Catalyst, Sequoia Capital, Morgan Stanley
Modal Labs (Series C, $355M at $4.65B valuation) — Serverless AI infrastructure scaling 0 to 1,000 GPUs in minutes across pooled capacity from 13 cloud partners. Quadrupled valuation in eight months. Investors: General Catalyst, Redpoint, Menlo, Bain Capital Ventures, Accel
Signal: Infrastructure beats features. General Catalyst backed both — one eliminating admin labor at scale, one solving elastic compute for every AI app builder. The market's rewarding picks and shovels over pilots.
