About Apollo
Apollo leads Block's efforts to build the Customer World Model (CWM): a continuously evolving representation of each customer's goals, context, history, constraints, and likely future needs.
The CWM powers proactive intelligence across Block's ecosystem. Instead of customers navigating products in search of features, intelligence observes their world, understands what matters, anticipates what comes next, and initiates actions on their behalf.
We believe the next generation of AI products will not be defined by chat interfaces or isolated agents.…
