Personalization is useful right up until the user cannot tell why the product changed. Then it starts feeling less intelligent and more haunted.
My current rule is simple: show the signal, let the user correct it, and make disable or forget controls immediate. A model can infer, but the person should remain the authority on their own goals and preferences.
Where have you found the line between helpful adaptation and unwanted automation?
Hi everyone, I thought of an idea and want to know your thoughts on this I wanna make a mobile app where you can add people as your guardians who will approve your social media screen time. Primary audience can be parents who can set time limit on their children's social media apps but anyone can do this. You can add your friends and they will approve your social media time So tell me what do you guys think about this idea and what features would you like to have in this app?
I used it for a year or two, but eventually went back to iTerm because I found the UX to be over-complicated and slowed me down. (Also, I'm a dinosaur with too much muscle memory to overcome...) But the AI features were interesting, so I'm curious what ya'll see as alternatives, or if you think I should give it another shot.
What is the balance between spinning up agents and maintaining mentally sane? I feel like the constant context-switching is taking a toll on my productivity and to an extent, my mental health. Does anyone here have any advice?
I see a ton of promotion on X and I know a lot of it's fake, but certain founders and teams seem to be really incredible at staying in the dialogue. Small or large, they have their employees, customers, and all manner of discussion about their product happening in public. A product has to be good enough to talk about for sure, but I imagine this strategy is probably the best CPM you can get nowadays (even better than UGC). Two recent examples that come to mind: the getstanley.ai launch and the monaco launch.
Every company becomes it's own little show with a cast of characters (founder, employees, customers) and they create moments on social that are both relevant for their product and for the community. Anyone here notice the same thing? How well do you think that works?
I saw Shimmer on the leaderboard today and wondered if AI can be used to help people with ADHD or similar neurodivergent traits. Here's the link to Shimmer launch in case you haven't seen it yet. Managing focus, organizing tasks, remembering important things, and balancing productivity with self-care can sometimes feel overwhelming. Tools like Shimmer are definitely helpful. Have you also come across any specific AI-powered apps or tools designed to assist with ADHD? I d love to hear your experiences or recommendations in the comments! :)
Launched my product on sunday and was ecstatic to see the positive comments i received. Was a bit confused shortly after though that people were talking about their experience with paid features but we hadn't had a single subscriber. Now I have checked the logs and not a single person has even tested the product. Does this platform write fake responses to make you think you are receiving interaction?
The thesis of a 1-person Unicorn has been going around since the emergence of LLMs and Agents. While I certainly see how an engineer can now do the work of 10, maybe 20 engineers, I'm still not able to see the path to a $1B company.
