Future AI Products
What I'm exploring next
Where it started
Most AI products are demos of capability, not solutions to problems. The gap between what models can do and what ordinary organisations actually use is enormous — and it's a design gap, not a technology gap.
What got built
An ongoing prototype line exploring AI that disappears into the workflow: assistants that draft the boring half of knowledge work, tools that translate between expert language and plain language, and education products that adapt to the learner instead of the average. The prototypes that survive contact with real users graduate into products.
What changed
This is the laboratory feeding everything else on this site. Prototypes are shared in the AI Lab as they become presentable.
- 1
Prototype cheaply enough that abandoning an idea costs nothing but pride.
- 2
The user's first five minutes decide everything; design them before the architecture.
- 3
AI products earn trust by showing their reasoning, not by being right slightly more often.
