Dreaming on dreams or designs?
Do they pass the "reality threshold"? How do we know?
We’re back with another edition of Machine Learnings, brought to you by the folks at Heyday.
Heyday is an AI-powered memory assistant that resurfaces content you forgot about while you browse the web.
This week we’re sharing part groundbreaking theory, part practical uses for AI. At the end of the day, AI is still software, and people don’t use software that doesn’t provide value. This is one reason the hype cycle seems to have tuned down a touch.
We’re building with AI and writing lots about coaching these days. If you work with – or are – an executive coach, Heyday’s got a special experience for you. Let’s talk.
