The first AI product I ever shipped wasn't a chatbot.
It was for Eino.ai's MVP. A capital planning platform for a major Canadian telecom carrier, helping executives decide where to put billions of dollars of infrastructure spend. 2020. Pre-ChatGPT. Pre any foundational model being a thing anyone outside a research lab had access to.
We had to invent the patterns from scratch and had to answer some tough questions.
→ How do you signal model confidence on a screen?
→ How does a user override the AI without breaking the trust loop?
→ What happens when the model's wrong and the user knows it?
Every flow was a first draft of an answer the industry hadn't gotten around to asking yet.
I've built a new mobile AI assistant that brings chat, text and image generation, voice input and document analysis into one app.
It have Smart Chat, Text Creator, Image Create, Voice Input, plus PDF Scanner, Photo Analyze, Social Content and Prompt Ideas, filtered by category.
Almost everything AI can do, just in one place.
A visitor was qualified before sales even saw the chat.
Two quick questions in, the bot already knew this wasn't a browser it was a buyer. The chat routed straight to sales with the context attached, no waiting for someone to notice the lead.
→ Qualifying shouldn't wait for a human to have time to ask the first question.
I'm thoroughly frustrated by the prevalence of accounts on Contra that use AI to reply to posts. And I don't get it. The entire point of this community is to share what you're working on and engage authentically with other creators and designers. So I'm genuinely confused as to what folks think the benefit is there? All I get from it is the sense that you either can't or aren't willing to think for yourself. So what're you doing on a platform that's built for /creatives/?
