Working on something new. Previously ceo/founder @visualelectric

[Colin Dunn @colindunn]

One of the many things I learned from @gentry about design is the idea of *informed simplicity*

[Colin Dunn @colindunn]

I'm looking for a technical cofounder. I would love to meet you if you:

- Are based in SF or willing to relocate
- Have experience building agentic systems
- Appreciate well crafted products
- Want to work really hard

DMs are open.

Looking for a full-stack web engineer to do an 8-week contract. Full time, remote. If you’re interested send me something you’ve built that you’re proud of!

@Support I'm trying to upgrade to Premium+ on the web it won't let me—it says my subscription is managed in the iOS app but I cancelled my subscription in January

[Colin Dunn @colindunn]

Open roles: Head of Product Design, Creative Director, Design Engineer, Head of Operations.

[Colin Dunn @colindunn]

Last year we sold Visual Electric to Perplexity. The product was sunset shortly after. I knew then I had another company in me, I just didn't expect my next idea to come along so quickly.

Working on something new and looking for exceptional people to join the founding team. DMs are open.

@josephcohen @koenbok This is just perfect

[Colin Dunn @colindunn]

The fact that its even close is wild

Honest question for product designers

You can only pick one, what do you choose?

@rsms @jsngr To me it feels like the difference between designing and directing design. Different things for sure, but when done well, both follow the design process you described IMO. And ultimately directing design is much more leveraged.

@joshpuckett Well now you don’t have to!

Excited to share what the VE team has been working on at Perplexity

[Perplexity @perplexity_ai]

Introducing Perplexity Computer.

Computer unifies every current AI capability into one system.

It can research, design, code, deploy, and manage any project end-to-end.

@jaltma Wow! Congrats Jack. Benchmark is lucky to have you.

[Colin Dunn @colindunn]

@jmtrivedi @OpenAI Congrats Janum!

[Soleio @soleio]

Colin Dunn @colindunn predicts a future where branding is liquid: generative, adaptive, and personal to each individual. A future where the designer’s role shifts from precision crafting to becoming a “vibe director.”

@josephcohen Thanks for your support Joe - I don’t think VE would have happened without you!

[Colin Dunn @colindunn]

@soleio Thank you for being an early believer and steadfast mentor and friend 🫂

[Colin Dunn @colindunn]

Bittersweet moment. Visual Electric has been acquired by Perplexity and will be sunset over the coming weeks.

Becoming a founder has long been a dream of mine, and getting to work on Visual Electric for nearly three years has been the most rewarding experience of my career.

Thank you to the team, our investors, and customers who have supported us along the way.

The VE team is leading agentic experiences at Perplexity, working on new kinds of products that have only recently become possible. Excited for this next chapter.

[Visual Electric @visualelectric]

Today we’re sharing the next step in Visual Electric’s journey: we’ve been acquired by @Perplexity_AI ⚡️

This marks both an exciting opportunity for our team, but also some bittersweet changes for our product. Over the next 90 days we’ll be winding down Visual Electric.

Thank you for your support, your feedback, your experiments, and your generations.
