  • You need to write SEO and enterprise research text for AIs now, in addition to humans. Does this mean separate pages, often hidden from humans like we see for search engine SEO? Probably. A Gartner survey of 377 U.S. consumers, conducted in June and July 2025, revealed that rather than shortcutting decisions, AI features are…

  • A great platform as a product paper, and a fun platform philosophy thereof
