"CEO Update: FAI is now our default AI gateway" · 2026-07-17
I committed early on that it would be my only way in, because if it could not carry my daily decisions, it was not worth shipping to you. It carried them.
FAI (renamed from FoundryAI) is now Groupon's default AI gateway — install from foundryai.groupondev.com and use it for every new project
Migrate existing projects into FAI by end of August; direct BigQuery access for personal AI is being decommissioned in September (new BQ requests only approved in genuine edge cases)
Skills flea market — publish/subscribe skills across teams without touching GitHub (18 official plugins + 28 on the flea market); if you built something useful, this is where it stops being yours alone
Shared knowledge base learns from failures — regular vs. private mode; when someone can't get a good answer, the BI team treats it as a signal to improve documentation or expand coverage
