Seeing all the user education prompts from Gemini to try their new AI products when I log into GDrive or Gmail is a reminder of how hard it is to change someone's mental model of a product. I'm so used to using those products a certain way, and Google is reluctant to change

Did a fireside chat yesterday at an AI conference, and then got a bunch of very polished emails summarizing key points of my chat, telling me how insightful I was, and asking to meet. Clearly: audio intake --> transcript --> AI --> email. Interesting to see these little

Kind of interesting to wonder what the new "proof of effort" vectors will be. Obviously in person interactions. Written content that doesn't sound AI generated (though that will be harder to spot over time). Others?

I have been a Dan Shipper 📧 fan for longer than I can remember, so it was so fun joining him here to talk consumer AI. First five mins I talk through my take on where we are from a consumer AI perspective (still very very early), and then I commit the sin of a former product

The biggest win in consumer AI so far is a single-player text box. Sarah Tavel is calling it now: The next win will be multiplayer. The @Benchmark partner joined Dan Shipper 📧 on AI & I to talk product genius founders, social AI, and the $10B idea hiding in custom GPTs.

exciting. Interesting too that it used to be when a SaaS vendor added an integration to a smaller third-party app, it was a big deal for those apps. Now, Anthropic et al making a play for the driver's seat. Not only that, but increasingly owning the user.

I love this reflection on the interview I posted earlier on REKKI's approach to building a platform internally to enable everyone to use AI, vs the tech team being gate keepers of it. What If We Built the Last Mile First? open.substack.com/pub/outsidesho…

Can’t recommend this post by Sarah Tavel enough - captures beautifully what it means to be an AI-native team. When companies like REKKI spawn more orgs, they’ll be AI-native from day one. Because "AI-native is a mindset shift". sarahtavel.com/p/an-ai-metamo…

Classic "A lie can run around the world before the truth has a chance to get its boots on" for this app....

The number of times I've tried to ♥️ a message in a WhatsApp group, only to fat finger the 😂 right next to it...

One of the early gifts I got in my venture career, was getting to partner with Francis Davidson. For an investor, there is nothing like getting to partner with someone like Francis. His raw intellect, ambition, intensity, urgency, purity of vision and purpose, and perhaps most of
