@DAaronovitch Seven days seems excessive. I was baptised in about forty minutes and that covered everything.

#Outcome is a rollercoaster ride of meta, nuance, commentary, with the sprit of a satire and empathy for the narratives of all the actors participating.
This is movie writing/acting as it should be. All the awards please.

There's a lot happening Xavier, but there's a lot of dust to settle before we start to see truly novel solutions emerge. The savvy companies are currently building AI into the plumbing of science, not the demo layer. Less “look what it can generate,” and more “look what work we can make disappear". Capturing knowledge at an early stage, and controlling it's dissemination, is an area that I see some very smart people working on (think personal agents).

And so many writing tools...so many...

[AfterLoss @AfterlossUK]

AfterLoss doesn't just speak, it listens.

Ask AfterLoss is an AI assistant built into your dashboard. Ask it anything about bereavement admin, and it gives you a personal answer based on your situation.

It knows your jurisdiction. In Scotland, it talks about confirmation, not probate. In Northern Ireland, it references the correct Orders.

It knows your role, whether you're an executor, administrator, or family member helping out.

It knows your progress. Ask "how many steps do I have left?" and it tells you exactly where you are.

It knows your documents. Ask "what am I still missing?" and it checks what you've uploaded and what you'll need next.

Over 40 topics covered: probate, Tell Us Once, bank notifications, pensions, council tax, utilities, digital accounts, and more.

On privacy: your conversations are not stored. Your data is never used to train AI models. We built it this way on purpose.

The row over the Trafalgar Square iftar has seen Jews and Christians coming to the defence of Muslims.

My thoughts on a fascinating and important trend:-

@genmon I use Superpowers and built https://t.co/3c6issam1q entirely with it. Live and with real users. It hasn't gone off track once.

[AfterLoss @AfterlossUK]

After someone passes, you have to contact the bank.

The council.
The pension provider.
The insurance company.
The utility companies - all of them.

And explain, again and again, what happened.

Our new Communication Kit gives you word-for-word scripts and emails for 18 notification tasks, all tailored with your specific details.

Know exactly what to say before you dial or write.

A short story about AI and its potential*

My dad died last year
I found death administration a nightmare
General guides were not ideal
I built a directed solution (thank you Claude Code)
It resonated = media coverage followed
This is now a potential business

https://t.co/RQ4VhCNnH3 was the result.

Lesson: Go build your own solution to problems you see. You no longer have an excuse.

*no, this doesn't take into account the ethical issues I am also concerned about.

[Steve Scott @manuscript]

@paulg I always use the leaking bucket analogy with founders. Simple and it works.

[AfterLoss @AfterlossUK]

When someone you love dies, the admin doesn't wait.

50+ tasks. From registering the death to cancelling subscriptions. From finding the will to distributing the estate.

That's why we built Afterloss.

✅ Every task laid out, step by step
✅ Guidance on how to do each one
✅ Helpful links so you're never stuck
✅ Built specifically for UK families

Because grief is hard enough without a to-do list you didn't ask for.

I've been quietly adding to https://t.co/3c6issam1q - 31 step-by-step guides, covering everything from the first days after a death to handling digital legacies.

A repost would really help to spread the word. More updates on Instagram → @afterlossuk

When my dad died last year, I had to deal with the admin. Banks. Utilities. HMRC. Subscriptions. With only text guides to help.

So I built what I needed.

https://t.co/rZbNSRMPlc is a free service helping UK families navigate every step.
