Is AI a new interface paradigm?
Also with tips for using GitHub Copilot and 100K context windows
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.
Our work requires us to bridge design and engineering to create helpful experiences for you, so Figma’s announcement of Dev Mode has us excited. Making it easier to create these experiences expands what we can do while you’re reading, researching or building software.
We began by showing you forgotten content alongside your search results. We expanded to resurface documents, messages, files, newsletters, notes, presentations, spreadsheets, tweets, and basically anything you work with on the web.
Our next stage expounds on the intelligence we’ve already built. Want to see?

3/ The 100K context window is here, but what’s that mean for how we use them? Further, how do larger context windows actually work? Learn more at GoPenAI >
4/ We’re less than a year and a half away from a major American election, and AI will play a large role. Studies show humans aren’t ready for the post-truth world that AI-generated fake news is bringing, so what do we do? Learn more at WIRED >
5/ Many of you are using GitHub Copilot in your work, but are you tapping into its potential? Here’s a prompt guide from the builders themselves. Learn more at the GitHub Blog >
6/ The amount of human energy put into AI tools is far beyond what you probably expect. Can we quantify it? Learn more at the MIT Technology Review >
7/ Meet Robocat, the self-improving robot. Much to our dismay, it is not actually a cat. Learn more at DeepMind >
Research for this edition of Machine Learnings was enhanced by Heyday, the AI-powered memory assistant.
