But in May, the founder announced he was abandoning the tech and pivoting his company to something entirely different: Muscle Mem, a cache system for AI agents that allows them to offload repeatable tasks.
So a completely normal pivot from something more general to something more specific within the same subject area. This isn't really newsworthy, and the rest of the article reads like an ad.
- Yeah specifically it sounds like customers didn’t want a cloud solution where they could run software, nor did they want dev tools with which to build their own automations. Customers wanted to pay someone to automate things for them. And the startup didn’t want to do that, so they did something else.
