Meet Wabi, the AI assistant with group chats, multiple threads, and an app-builder | Equity podcast
It seems like every big AI player is building a personal agent. Meta has Muse, OpenAI launched Dots, and a startup called Instinct recently raised $1 billion at a $10 billion valuation. But Eugenia Kuyda thinks the next generation of AI assistants needs to do more than book your restaurant reservations and find you hidden…

So You’ve Got a Hit Product. How Does Your Company Do It Again? | Disrupt 2026
Most startups stall because they build one great product instead of a repeatable multi-product engine. Daring Ventures’ Maddi Holman, Verkada’s Filip Kaliszan, and Atlassian’s Tamar Yehoshua discuss the operational playbook for capital allocation, systemizing internal innovation, and engineering a compounding “Second Act” before the core product’s growth curve flattens. #TechCrunchDisrupt2026 Follow us across… Read more:

Questions :
1. Does this portable charger come in different sizes? Woul love to see a bike or motorcycle version.
2. Do we buy these our selves and take them on long trips or are we buying the service from the company?
3. Can it charge only vehicles or can it charge anything that uses a Li-Ion battery?
Would love to know more. 🙂

Great project!
TC, how about going the extra mile and posting a little more information about the project in the description, i.e. website, Twitter, crowdfund…
Of course, everybody can google it, but since you’re making a video about a top project, would be really helpful if one could use the links to look them up promptly.
Thank you in advance! ????

Great idea, but Tesla might come out with a similar product in the future. Also, they should add the ability to charge the battery through solar.

@Baxtor Howle I don’t think they will.

@MysticJimmy7 Yes they will, one pack contains 3.4 kWH battery which equals to 12 mile range on Tesla Model 3 base. It takes 12 minutes to charge and normal cost for that is around 21 cents in NY per 1 kWH. The packs also need to be recharged and he mentions solar charge which for 3 KWH would take 3 hours on a sunny day.
I can see this being with tow companies and other road side assistance services but nothing like the way he tries to scale it.
