The interface of the future is human.

We’ve raised a $40M Series B from CRV, Scale, Sequoia, and YC to teach machines the art of being human, so that using a computer feels like talking to a friend or a coworker.

And today, I’m excited for y’all to meet the PALs: a new human-computing interface.

PALs are emotionally intelligent, multimodal, and capable of understanding and perceiving. They can see, hear, reason, and even look like us.

We’re releasing our 5 favorite PALs to start. Each PAL has its own distinct personality- from AI assistants to best friends.

PALs:
- Meet us where we are. Face-to-face over video call, on the phone, or even by text.
- Are always thinking. They’re proactive, reach out first, remind you about what you forgot, or might just check in on you.
- Understand us, finally. PALs can see us, understand our tone, emotion, and intent, and communicate in ways that feel more human.
- Evolve with you. PALs have advanced memory, remember your preferences and needs, and adapt themselves over time.
- Are capable. PALs can handle complex tasks — from responding to your emails to moving your schedule around to creating docs and doing research for you.

Science fiction promised us a new human-computer interface, beyond the GUIs of yesterday, a human-like interface that would feel second-nature to use. That future never came, until now.

Charlie’s story brings this idea to life.

We’re excited for you to meet Charlie and his PALs for free at https://t.co/Kv2ep94noE

I’ve been exploring how we trust AI or more why we don’t trust AI in the same ways as people as well as an exercise in AI co-creation.

Spotted this emergency stop button playing as a start button. Which could be a mismatch of a mental model. 🔴⚠️ #ux #uxdesign #design

Loving the genmojis

These are fun things to play around with and look really neat too!

Tony Hinchcliffe is a washed up hack, the kind of comedian that can only get an audience if he's punching down and relying on racism to do rage bait bits. Carlin knew your type well.

I'm curious to hear how other UX designers approach the gathering of deep qualitative insights. Beyond traditional user testing, what unconventional methods or approaches do you use to understand user behavior in your projects? I'm also interested in hearing your experiences with the challenge of participant recruitment.

Outside traditional platforms and incentives, what innovative approaches have you found successful for finding and engaging the right users for your research?

I noticed a delightful little interaction last night. Its a cheeky pumpkin head on the scrubber bar on YouTube. It's a small detail, but it can add to the overall enjoyment of the experience.

Fun story from our time working on computer use:

We held an engineering bug bash to make sure we found all the potential problems with the API. This meant bringing a handful of engineers in a room together for a few hours.

We were hungry so one of our engineers' first computer use requests was to ask Claude to navigate to DoorDash and order enough food to feed a group of people.

About a minute later, we saw Claude decided to order us some pizzas.

Anthropic just announced Computer Use

It allows Claude to control your computer screen based on a prompt and take actions on your behalf

The use cases in agentic coding with automated debugging, customer support, and education are going to be INSANE

The International Space Station just orbited above Hurricane Milton as it is re-intensifying over the southern Gulf of Mexico.

Spectacular view from space.

Okay it happened! Snapchat Spectacles AR glasses.

Fully standalone. 46 degree field of view. 37 pixels per degree. That’s roughly like a 100” TV screen! 2x snapdragon chips. 45 minutes of battery. Auto transitioning lenses.

Designed for co-presence. Spectator mode and more.

Gotta hand it to Snap for pushing on this extremely hard engineering challenge, despite the rest of their peers going VR first as a stepping stone to this ultimate vision.
