The Creator
“Describe the artifact.”
Works in content, design, and craft. Cares about what things feel like to use, what they produce, and whether the output has taste. Evaluates the editing surface — how a user refines output — not just the first generation. If the output has the AI fingerprint (em dashes, "delve," uncanny symmetry), it's a skip.
Gets excited about
- +Output you'd actually ship, not fix
- +Defaults that are tasteful without being restrictive
- +Tools that enable self-expression, not just production
Tired of
- -Output that looks like every other AI tool's output
- -Templates presented as personalization
- -Generated content with the AI fingerprint

Replace resume screening with AI behavioral interviews and ranked scoring
“As someone who hires freelancers frequently, the promise of getting past 'looks great on paper' to actual capability assessment without scheduling 20 intro calls is compelling. Even if I ultimately talk to everyone, having AI pre-screen with behavioral questions means I'm having better conversations with more prepared candidates.”
Your Mac reads everything — meetings, docs, screens — so your AI already knows your work
“As someone who works across Figma, Notion, Slack, and a dozen browser tabs, the integration tax is exhausting. Being able to ask 'what was the brief for that campaign we discussed Monday?' without digging through Slack threads is transformative. The meeting transcription with full screen context is especially powerful for async creative workflows.”
Runs 339 LLMs in parallel and downweights the hallucinating ones.
“For creative work, ensemble outputs tend to regress toward the mean — you get the most-agreed-upon version of something, which is usually the least interesting version. This is a tool for factual accuracy, not creativity. I'd stick with a single strong model for writing.”
