From AI glasses to the AI phone

And a preview of what's next in Heyday 👋

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.

We’re back after a week away. Our brains are fresh, and we’re full of gratitude.

We subscribe to Rich Hickey’s hammock-driven development. After a big launch, we take some R&R to think before hopping back into rapid iteration.

These days at Heyday, we’re building and writing deeply about coaching.

Over the past month, we launched the first version of our advanced AI tooling, specifically aimed at the executive coaches of the world. Since then, we’ve been rolling out a series of updates we’re nearly ready to make available to everyone. Here’s a preview.

If you have clients you work with regularly, let’s talk. We’ll help.
