Designer at Loom, makin' thangs. Millennial, Dad. Post rock? early-2000s metallic-hardcore scene? '90's nostalgia. Usually near water 🌊

Working with @zachwaugh on this has been such an honor! Luckily we get to keep building together! Bunch more planned post GA!
We're launching a completely rebuilt and all-native Loom for Mac today including new camera shapes and sizes, decluttering your videos by hiding your desktop icons/dock/menubar by default. Custom backgrounds for recording, true single window mode, and so much more

What an amazing write up of a fantastic product journey. Congrats to the @loom team on a kick ass launch! 👏🏻
Today we launched the new @loom for Mac by @Atlassian, rebuilt from the ground up as a native app atlassian.com/blog/loom/all-… It started with a question: if we were building Loom today, knowing what we know, what would it look like? and how would we do it "AI natively"? We were aiming for three things: faster, higher quality, and taking advantage of the rich experience native Mac apps have to offer. We wanted something so good people couldn’t ignore it, on a foundation that’s easier to build on. Our first bet: six weeks to build a proof of concept that could record a Loom. When a few leaders started playing with it, it was clear there was a lot more worth going after. AI let more of us turn ideas into things we could try together. Five things shaped what happened next.

Atlassian used Transcribe 2.0 in @Loom and found it more accurate at capturing user instructions. Dictate your change requests using Loom, then directly export to Cursor to code it up.

I've wanted this feature in @loom for ages and now it's here... Any link you share during your recording is automatically attached, so your audience can dig in. Check out this demo from Kate on the Loom Design team.

Here’s what I’ve been up to since joining @loom in April! My first project: rebuilding the Loom Mac app from scratch—and experimenting with a really fun new way of working along the way. A little peek at what we’re building and how 👇 loom.com/share/8f7e5a641ba54…

As designers, we explain things by showing 〰️ scribbling in a notebook, leaving fingerprints on your screen, pointing and saying “see this? like that” Showing while telling is how humans have always handed off intent, and that instinct is the idea behind @loom video prompts🌟

Today we’re announcing Remix in Confluence. Remix is part of our continual efforts to thoughtfully weave AI into the tools you already use. To respect the “beautiful mess” of real work, and help teams more clearly communicate through shared context. With Remix, we're making text feel much more malleable. We recognise that everyone thinks differently, and has different approaches when it comes to articulating ideas. By making it easy to turn text into visual stories, timelines, diagrams, briefs and more - expression becomes fluid and direct. Less time being stuck for words, and more flow. We're still working on performance, polishing the visual finesse of the remixes and tuning the usability. But in the spirit of building in public, Jenifer S (one of our stellar design leaders in Teamwork Collection) recorded a Loom where she walks through the thinking and interaction detail for the current Labs build of Remix. I hope you get a sense of our excitement and care for the detail. Watch here -> loom.com/share/992a0acb407b4…
Say hello to Remix with Rovo—rolling out over the next few weeks in open beta to Confluence Cloud customers! 🚀 In seconds, you can turn those massive Confluence pages into clear visual stories like charts, infographics, and diagrams for different teams. Explore Remix: go.atlassian.com/35hir2

I’m very excited to announce AI Autocomplete AI Autocomplete is a breakthrough patented technology that supercharges natural language input = Unlocking 10x faster search and commerce, advertising, and powerful augmented reality. Available for use as an SDK. This solves a fundamental problem of today’s chat interfaces – They are good at single step request, but any multi-step action (like booking a flight or purchasing goods) quickly becomes a back and forth 'game of 10 questions'. While working on our own assistant, we realized the core driver of this problem is a human one: People don’t know everything they need to say upfront, for every action you could do on the internet. And to solve it, we would need to think about how to marry design and technology in a new way. AI Autocomplete solves this, and can now plug into chat interfaces to guide you in real-time, with everything you would need to say, upfront. So you can do anything you can do on the internet in one shot. No more back and forth. As a result, this unlocks multiple AI breakthroughs: 1. 10x faster search and commerce 2. Smarter (and far lower cost) media generation 3. Natural language advertising 4. Powerful, lightweight Augmented Reality From here, we’ll be using this for Hero, but we also want others to use it too since this is an industry-wide problem. So if you have a product that could benefit from AI Autocomplete and want to work with us, reach out below! Shoutout to @seunglee1b who helped think of and patent this nearly 3 years ago! And shoutout to the entire @hero_assistant team that keeps innovating on the next generation of AI products

A small but thoughtful detail shared by an Apple designer: Previously, the Passwords app icon featured three identical keys. Now, each key is unique—visually suggesting stronger, more individualized security. It’s a tiny change, but it shows just how much Apple cares about the details
