Block, Inc.

Jane bought three, and that experience led me to offer bundled sessions, which actually became a cornerstone of my business.

To manage my calendar and payment system, I use Square Appointments.

It automatically sends out reminders to my clients, which cuts down on no-shows.

At the start, I was manually sending Zoom links, and I once mixed up the times, leading to two clients logging in at the same time.

And the goal is to make it sound human.

This is a new product called created by Jack Dorsey's company, Block.

If you don't know, Jack Dorsey is actually the original co-founder of Twitter, which is now X after Elon Musk bought Twitter.

And this product is named Dessa.

I haven't seen a whole lot of news coverage on it yet, but we probably will because I think it's pretty weird.

I think it's gonna freak a lot of people out, but I also think people are curious and a lot of people are gonna wanna try it out.

This is a product called Dessa, created by Block, which is a company run by Jack Dorsey, who co-founded Twitter.

Okay, so the long and short of it is this is a new AI product where AI is actually trained on audio only, not on text, in order to produce a more human-like conversation with an AI chatbot.

And that's kind of how I've always seen it.

And, you know, prior to my journey into crypto, I worked in payments and at Cash App and Square.

And that was the key insight.

It was just like, hey, like the front ends have gotten better, but the back end is still broken.

Right.

And so the business side, the enterprise incentive is there to really want to control the economics, own the asset layer.

Now, if you look at the payment side of it, and if you accept there will at least be a few, you know, one of the things we talked about a lot when I was at Square was, well, we want merchants to be able to get paid in any way that their customers want to pay.

So, hey, it's really important for the mom and pop shop to be able to accept Amex as well as Visa, as well as Snap EBT benefits.

And so that's what he's been using.

BitKey is a product from Block.

And I think a year or two ago, they released the first BitKey.

Way nicer than I remember it looking, right? This

It's

a guy who works at

Block.

Interesting.

As you're saying that, it's like, we could get to the point too, where like, the humans aren't making the decisions.

And I'm thinking of like Square, they've launched Bitcoin functionality in their point of sale systems to their four plus million merchants, or sellers as they define them across the The United States, not only do you have the ability to accept Bitcoin and automatically hold that, but they're building these AI tools.

It'll basically be like a chief financial officer for these small and medium-sized businesses.

You can imagine a world where you just send your CFO agent into the back end of your square and POS system, you're like, hey, we've got to manage our cash flow and our investments in our treasury, like just look historically, like what the best move is.
