Poolside

The Community for Founders Building with AI

[Poolside @PoolsideCo]

Architecture, code, and AI collided to turn an ambitious concept into a buildable design.

@DarkMatteris, one of Poolside members, used it on Casa do Poente, an observatory house in Alentejo. Every angle, every sightline, worked out by prompt before a wall went up.

@D3ltaArmy 💯
and everything moves very fast, so they learned to ship under pressure

A few founders at Poolside came from web3.

Some of the habits they picked up are surprisingly useful for building AI products. 🧵
