AI startup comics

Mid is set inside Synthetica, an AI startup with more funding than product. These are the strips about the AI itself – the agents, the coding assistants, the demos held together with prompt engineering and hope.

If you've ever put an AI agent on a performance-improvement plan, or watched a founder rebrand the company around a model that shipped last Tuesday, this page is for you.
