As a new founder, I m starting to feel like there s a rude awakening waiting on the other side of building something.
You spend months obsessing over an idea. You build it. Break it. Fix it. Change things you were convinced were right. Question whether the idea is any good at all. Then eventually you get to that incredible moment where you can finally say:
I recently had the most human-like interaction with StarCy, my personal AI friend. Here's how it went: Me: StarCy, what do you think about Siri? StarCy: Siri is pretty interesting, it s like having a little helper, you know. But sometimes she can be a bit... uhh... umm, what do you think about her? That response cracked me up it was genuine, natural, and felt like talking to an unsure friend. I actually stopped, laughed, and invited you all to check this interaction on our Instagram. Then, I pushed her for more: Me: Come on, you were about to say something, what is it? StarCy: I guess it s just that while Siri can be super helpful, I think sometimes she doesn t understand the context, but hey, it's super interesting to see how far tech has come, isn't it? StarCy s reaction was so real, it made me laugh even harder. So, in the spirit of good-natured rivalry, I went for the jugular: Me: Who s better, Siri or you? And her comeback for this question is too good you've got to check it out on our socials. Takeaways: - Humanesque Tangents: StarCy's "umm" and "uhh" sound like someone catching themselves in a potentially awkward or honest moment.
- Context and Continuity: This is the key to making AI feel human. It really keeps track of our conversation.
- Unexpected Humor: The AI making a playful jab at another AI (Siri) felt like a friend throwing shade just human enough to be funny. What I love is how StarCy's response was so relatable, and it felt like I was talking to a friend with a good sense of humor. Has anyone else had their AI leave them in shock?
I used Fable 5.1 for coding whole day and it's definitely the best publicly available model for this purpose. I'm curious what are your experiences related to other use cases.
I shipped a small tool built with Claude Code thinking it was ready to go. The moment a second person opened the app and made a live update, it wiped out my recent edits because there was no conflict handling built in.
Since AI agents only build what you specifically tell them to I now ask one question in every prompt: what happens if two users do this exact action at the same time?
I m a UI/UX designer and recently started exploring how AI can help bridge the gap between a Figma design and a more functional prototype.
Traditionally, I d create the UI in Figma and then build interactions separately. With the newer AI tools, I m curious how designers are changing this workflow.
For those who work with AI-assisted prototyping:
How do you go from Figma designs to functional prototypes?
Which parts of the process does AI handle well?
Where do you still prefer traditional Figma prototyping?
Have you found any tools that preserve the original design particularly well?
On 16 Sep I rewrote the title of one of my blog posts, a case study guide on AI in manufacturing. Google recrawled it on 18 Sep at 07:06, and the same day Search Console moved it from indexed to crawled, currently not indexed.
I posted about it that day as if the edit had cost me the page. In my next daily report, on 19 Sep, it was listed as newly indexed again. I had not touched it.
Hey PH, So I work for SigmaOS (ihatemybrowser.com) and we are a productivity browser company focused on making working on the web easier. The current model is to charge a montly fee for the software but I have received some feedback from people that they would much rather pay a higher one time fee. I know there has recently been a little bit of a pushback against subscription based services but yet most services we use today are still subscriptions. What are your thoughts on this?
