Heartbreaking, what an articulation @crowprose crowprose.com/blog/competencโ€ฆ
So after all these hours talking about AI, in these last five minutes I am going to talk about: Horses. Engines, steam engines, were invented in 1700. And what followed was 200 years of steady improvement, with engines getting 20% better a decade. For the first 120 years of that steady improvement, horses didn't notice at all. Then, between 1930 and 1950, 90% of the horses in the US disappeared. Progress in engines was steady. Equivalence to horses was sudden.

Annual rewatch of True Detective Season 1, the best show/season ever made. Time is a flat circle but at least Rust Cohle is there to guide me through it.

5 months ago I broke down Figma's new AI onboarding. They're back with a new iteration! The most interesting part: ๐—”๐—œ ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฝ๐˜๐˜€ ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐˜„ ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ๐˜€. An updated breakdown ๐Ÿ‘‡ In the last iteration, an AI input form was presented side-by-side with pre-built usecase templates. This makes sense, they both solve the cold start problem of helping users go from from 0 โ†’ .5 (they don't get users to 1 yet). I wondered if, in the future, AI entry points and templates would merge. With this new iteration, Figma has essentially made templates from pre-written, use case prompts! Templates are great at presenting use cases (push). Prompting is great at capturing intent (pull). This experience is starting to have the best of both worlds, where the entry point into prompting is structured and easy to understand, but I can still edit the prompt to fit my intent. I like this and I think it points to a strong vision for AI-generated getting-started experiences (rather than just throwing me into an input). Of course, templates still play a big role for Figma and Figma has a huge community with tons of helpful resources. But now AI has a much larger in-product entry point than templates. I could imagine other tools taking a similar approach!

The new and improved universal growth loop: 1) build a great product 2) get Reforge on board as a customer 3) post about Reforge being a customer All jokes aside, as long time fans of their content, we couldn't be more excited to be working with the team at Reforge.

tl;dr AI product pricing benefits from KISS principle
9 Feb 2024
Iโ€™ve dug into a lot of AI product pricing as weโ€™ve shaped up our own ahead of our launch of AI Assist. My general perspective is that most companies seriously overcomplicate their pricing & packaging, but itโ€™s even more pronounced with AI.
