Hey 👋 Ampli community. Long weekend's done, Tuesday's pretending to be Monday, and we've got a full issue to ease you back in. Let's get into it.
Have you heard of Lou?
Lou is Ojin’s new resident devil. He's also The Human AI Agent, the first one to hold a real-time conversation, built on Ojin's three new models: Oris Portrait, Oris Presence, and Oris Voice. You can talk to him in your browser, back and forth, with comic opinions, surprises, and timing that doesn't feel rehearsed. He's the public demo of what Ojin's generative AI platform makes possible.
If you want to give it a try, just TALK TO LOU

Google just killed the ten blue links — At I/O on May 19, Google announced its biggest Search redesign in 25 years: an “intelligent search box” that accepts text, images, files, and voice, dispatches background “information agents” to monitor the web for you, and builds custom mini-apps on the fly instead of returning a list of links. AI Mode already has 1 billion monthly users, and Gemini 3.5 Flash is the new default.

The interface is no longer designed — it’s generated. Here’s what that means for PMs. — The least-discussed part of Google’s I/O announcement is Generative UI: the system now builds a bespoke interactive interface in real time for each query, rather than serving a fixed layout. For product managers, this has structural implications: if AI can generate interfaces on demand, their role shifts from designing screens to defining the rules, data models and intent signals that govern what is generated.

Exa Labs tripled its valuation to $2.2B in eight months — because AI agents need their own search engine — a16z led a $250M Series C into Exa, which builds search infrastructure for AI agents, using neural embedding models tuned for machine retrieval rather than keyword ranking. Already used by Cursor, Cognition, HubSpot, and 400,000+ developers. The bet: AI agents will generate more search queries than humans within the year, and the retrieval layer needs to be rebuilt from scratch to serve them.

bunch closes €30.1M Series B to modernise Europe’s private markets infrastructure — Berlin-based bunch, which builds end-to-end infrastructure for European private markets (cap tables, SPVs, fund admin), raised €30.1M led by Portage with follow-on from Motive Partners and Cherry Ventures. Private markets in Europe are still mostly run on spreadsheets and PDFs, bunch is the bet that automation and AI will eat that workflow the same way it already ate public market back-office ops.

Multiverse raised €60M and acquired Berlin’s StackFuel — to become Europe’s AI upskilling layer — Multiverse (€1.8B valuation, 50% YoY revenue growth) is expanding across Europe with a direct play on the gap between companies deploying AI and workforces that don’t yet know how to use it. Using Berlin-acquired StackFuel as its entry into the German market. Target: 100,000 German workers trained in AI skills, with Mercedes-Benz, Telefónica, and IAV already on the client list.

It’s not just Exa — four AI search startups just raised $350M+ in a single week — Alongside Exa’s $250M, Parallel Web Systems (led by ex-Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal) raised $100M at a $2B valuation from Sequoia, and Tavily and TinyFish are raising too. Investors are pricing the assumption that traditional search is structurally broken for AI use cases, and the retrieval layer is up for grabs. For founders building on top of AI agents, which search infrastructure you pick is now a real product decision.

Entry-level roles in Germany’s tech market: what the 2026 funding data actually tells you — Berlin’s seed-to-Series A conversion rate (37%) is higher than London, Munich, or Paris, meaning more early-stage companies survive long enough to hire. Software & AI dominates Berlin’s seed capital; deep tech and hardware dominate Munich’s. If you’re early-career and trying to pick a city, this is the most data-grounded breakdown of where the jobs are forming.
