Creatives who have gone through tough feedback over their career also crafts how we operate and think. It crafts our taste. AI doesn’t have this same loop.

[Andy Wood @heyimandy]

This is why humans who have had more experiences through life such as traveling the world, experiencing cultures, putting in the reps of their craft, and or been put in unique experiences walk away with great taste. AI lacks this, human taste is irreplaceable.

[Scott Stevenson @scottastevenson]

Called it

[Andy Wood @heyimandy]

I couldn’t agree more and I think we forget how much our audiences crave good taste. This reminds me of why so many folks wanted Wealthsimple’s credit card, black metal.

one of the most delightful
user experiences I've had in
a long time.

taste is in fact a moat.

What a great location and setup 👏

Last night: our very own @samstphenson with @soleio, one of our earliest supporters.

[Andy Wood @heyimandy]

Meet my @NotionHQ agent, Morning brief.

I get a slack notification every morning that tells me what I need to catch up on: tasks, and additional context I may have missed. Connected to my slack, calendar, email and notion. This is how you keep yourself in check while GSD.

[Andy Wood @heyimandy]

Tech entering the original content space is an exciting time. This such a refresh.

[Andy Wood @heyimandy]

@CharlesPattson Clean! 👏

This! Was just in the UK and it’s wild how cheap mobile plans are. Not to mention our own Canadian monopoly of mobile companies charging $15+ a day for roaming when you can just get a $5 e-sim. We are being played.

The art in finding a unique look is doing the creative reps of the craft not just doing what everyone else doing, until you find yourself in a moment of feeling, “this is it, this is us”.

It’s putting in the work and following your creative instinct. It’s a beautiful thing.

[Andy Wood @heyimandy]

This display at the Toronto airport is giving off Gandalf energy. Feels quite fitting as we are heading out to shoot another @SpellbookLegal story.

[Andy Wood @heyimandy]

@MKBHD Monday it will be added, watch.

[Andy Wood @heyimandy]

@jmwind Let’s go!

[Andy Wood @heyimandy]

Excited to be back aboard the same rocketship as @jmwind, let’s build 👊

[Scott Stevenson @scottastevenson]

Thrilled to welcome @jmwind to the Spellbook team. JML is one of the top technical executives in the world, having worked with Shopify as CTO and Atlassian as VP Engineering, bringing them both to IPO back-to-back.

Over the past year, I’ve been lucky to have him as a mentor and advisor. He is one of the most impressively “30,000 foot view” + “in the weeds” people I’ve ever met. In the same hour he can code a prototype and deliver deep insight about how to scale our culture & process.

This makes him uniquely suited for the role he is pioneering: Executive IC. AI enables people like JML to scale themselves 100x without getting bogged down in layers of management. We aim to write the playbooks for tomorrow, rather than to execute the playbooks of yesterday. We think that org charts will change radically in the next decade, and we want to get far ahead of it.

JML will pioneer the systems that scale our AI-native org, will deliver product and technical insight from decades of experience and help grow myself and our executive team.

I recommend following him if you are curious how AI-native orgs will operate–he is writing a playbook for the decade to come: @jmwind

Panasonic Automotive North America has selected Spellbook as its AI contracting platform.

If you've tapped a touchscreen, adjusted your climate controls, or connected your phone to your car, there's a good chance Panasonic Automotive built the tech behind it.

They supply infotainment, connectivity, and in-cabin systems to tens of millions of vehicles on the road today.

Spellbook now supports their legal team across supplier agreements, technology licensing, and other commercial contracts. They're one of the fastest-moving teams we've worked with, rebuilding their entire RFP process with agents, cutting approval timelines from three weeks to four days.

Welcome, Panasonic!

[Andy Wood @heyimandy]

@JacobRobinsonJD @davidsenra @scicomm FX30 is great!

[Andy Wood @heyimandy]

The Sony eco-system on the @davidsenra podcast. We are on the same page here at Spellbook. @scicomm is crushing it 👏

Toronto tech week has the energy that Canadian music week had back in the day in Toronto just on a much larger scale. Let’s go!

[mell truong @melltruong]

Toronto Tech Week returns to the city.

A citywide takeover with 600+ events and 15,000 people from all over the globe.

Let's do this 🫡

#TorontoTechWeek

[Andy Wood @heyimandy]

That ah-ha moment is so powerful as a creative and when it happens you just know it’s the right move. The feeling is very euphoric.

[Katherine Boyle @KTmBoyle]

Revelation is the right word.

[Andy Wood @heyimandy]

Well done! More outdoor locations please 🙏

[Rob Mohr @R_Mohr]

One of my favorite episodes so far.

The conversation, the setting, everything.

I asked Rick if we could record at Shangri-La less than 24 hours before this was scheduled. Huge thanks to him, the team at Shangri-La, and the @scicomm crew for making it happen last minute.

[Andy Wood @heyimandy]

@graceongrid Best time to shoot!
