This week we had a wonderful dinner and conversation with designers from Anthropic, Replit, Webflow, Airtable, Perplexity, Chroma, Airbnb, GitHub, and Notion about using AI for design and designing for AI.

The vibe might not be what you expected—optimistic, human, and curious. Many of us are working on sentient tooling that elevates the human experience. The arrival of AI in the design space is like when the camera obscura was introduced to artists.

We covert topics such as re-skilling ourselves, the importance of taste/intention being a differentiator, and where we’re spending our time when the effort and cost to make software is nearly zero.

Instead of constantly talking about AI, perhaps explore the material and understand the implications.

It was nice to break to enjoy Omakase with incredible humans.
