Supply and demand.

Feb 13, 2024 | linkedin.com | Jon Fortt

Bret Taylor seems to have a knack for teaming up on tough problems. I spoke with him this week about the official launch of Sierra, an artificial intelligence startup he's been working on with co-founder Clay Bavor. The effort has been in "stealth mode" for nearly a year, stealth being Silicon Valley's favored term for an effort that's so new and strategic that the company isn't ready to trumpet its plans.
