A roughly monthly long-form newsletter by Scott Belsky that explores the second-order implications of AI, technology shifts, culture and product design rather than covering news. Each edition offers forecasts on topics such as AI agents, enterprise software, brand moats and building product teams.
First-person stories from two early Slack insiders about building the company, product and business, including the redesign, the pandemic rollout and the Salesforce deal. Readers get behind-the-scenes accounts of product and leadership decisions.
Each issue distills key AI design and prototyping tactics from an interview with a designer at a well-known product company such as Granola, Deel or Pocket FM. Readers get concrete workflows and tool combinations, with a link to the full video interview.
Weekly practical guides on using AI tools, especially Claude Code, in product design work. Issues include step-by-step case studies and workflows such as making demo videos, prototyping in code, and running multiple agent sessions.
