Looking for people building for creators. Let's connect!

I'm Andrew, based in London, founder and CEO of Kineto, with over a decade in content platforms, music products, and voice assistants. Most recently, before Kineto, I created and led Junie, the JetBrains coding agent, got to scale it from zero, watch it actually start shaping how teams work, and learn what scaling an agent really takes.

Now I'm taking that experience into a different industry: the creator and influencer economy.

Two things I'd genuinely love to talk to people here about:

The creator economy itself. Tools, platforms, business models, all moving fast. I'm a fan of the take that we can't really automate creativity, but there are 20 things around it that agents can genuinely help with. Not using AI is not on the table, that ship sailed. The interesting question is how we build products that take the boring 20 and protect the part people actually got into this for. Always curious to meet others working in this space: image, video, audio, voice, anything adjacent.

What's the best AI model for coding?

New AI models pop up every week. Some developer tools like @Cursor, @Zed, and @Kilo Code let you choose between different models, while more opinionated products like @Amp and @Tonkotsu default to 1 model.

Curious what the community recommends for coding tasks? Any preferences?
