Finally the decision has been made.
Next Monday, I’ll be joining tebi.co.
I’m very excited to be working with @gretacastellana and the rest of the great team (are they on Twitter?).
Here’s to exciting times! 🎉🍾
We were chatting in the office the other day how you could see @benjitaylor ‘s fingerprint on the design and interactions of @bot and I think that’s a big part of the reason I love it so much. Thoughtful choices that make using it so addictive and easy ❤️
Most AI products look like a settings page with a chat box. @bot doesn't. You can really see @benjitaylor's hand in it. Fewer options, more answers. That is a design choice, not a model choice. More teams should copy this.
When I joined @TebiPlatform, an old POS screen really surprised me. Every button visible at once. Felt like a cockpit.
My designer brain wanted to clean it up. Progressive disclosure; show less, hide the rest in menus.
Then I watched someone work a dinner rush. 150+ orders a night, and they were fast. Muscle memory. Their finger was on the button before they even thought about it.
What looks like chaos to me is a shortcut for someone who uses it every day.
I thought I’d share my grok bot digest, which has been really helpful to keep in the loop about interesting @bot use cases and gives you a daily digest x.ai/bot/-pSLh59tqErNj2AtsB_…
When I moved from designer to PM last year, I figured the jump would be small. I'd been doing "product work" for years.
I was wrong. Managing a product meant my designer instincts stopped getting the last word.
Polish vs. shipping this week
Craft vs. cutting to what matters
The ideal version vs. the one we can afford
Detail vs. velocity
A year in, I still reach for the designer answer first. The difference is that now I notice.
Something I tell myself almost every day: If we ship today, we learn today.
If we ship next week, we learn next week. That gap compounds. A team that ships weekly instead of monthly doesn't just learn 4x faster. It makes better bets every round after that.
Designer me wanted it right first. As a PM I want it learning first.
Falling in love with @bot every day a bit more. The last week I took a long article tutorial style and had Grok Bot turn it into 120 Duolingo-style micro-lessons.
Every day at 9:00 I get one small task, a streak counter, and it won't count the day without proof.
Day 7: streak 7 🔥
Day 8–10: missed. Three days.
Turns out the perfect system still needs you to show up 🙃
One of the things as a newborn dad I struggled with — your brain does weird things on little sleep — was keeping track of when she was fed, how much did she drink overall today, and all the other things your brain forgets when you run as a sleep deprived autopilot. So I built a tracker called Baba, with iCloud sync (so my gf knows what’s up to), and a red light inspired dark mode, so I can sleep again after feeding.
On TestFlight if anyone wants to give it a go.
Design has been influenced by culture in many ways. Computer desktops and folders have been influenced by Western office culture around paper documents and filing cabinets. Designers reproduced familiar objects as digital icons.
So I was wondering what would have happened if these would designers would be influenced by ancient Japanese culture with scrolls, lacquer boxes and more spatial navigation. So Astra did that imagination for me.
I might build this..

I got a bit annoyed by checking mortgage rates on my bank's website every week and figuring out if and when to renew — so I built my own mortgage rate tracker app in Swift.
Coming soon to Testflight.

i’ve been using VEO3 to pump out ads for digital products in under 5 minutes and turn any product into viral-ready content without a big budget
these ads are perfect for info, digital products, and ecom
the workflow is simple:
- drop in your script or hook
- let veo3 generate scenes
- tweak the angles and tone
- then export a stack of ready-to-run variations
each ad looks like something you’d actually see on your fyp… except it’s built to sell your product
like, rt + reply with 'CONTENT' and i'll send you my prompt template that i use to make my own ads go viral every single time
