On a campaign to make education and software accessible to everyone

[Lumin @LuminPdf]

Hey everyone! Some customers may currently be experiencing difficulties uploading documents to Lumin. This should be resolved soon.

In the meantime, you can open a document in Lumin via Google Drive.

Meet the newest member of the Lumin family: Lumin Sign! Forget the chaos of follow-ups, loose ends and endless contract negotiations.

Some insight into how team @LuminPdf operates.

I am looking forward to showing the rest of the country what Ōtautahi has to offer at the @NZHiTechAwards later this month.

@tim_cook Apple Vision Pro looks like a game changer for long-haul flights. I can't wait to try it

[Tim Cook @tim_cook]

Welcome to the era of spatial computing with Apple Vision Pro. You’ve never seen anything like this before!

[Max Ferguson @maxkferg]

A huge thank you to everyone involved and @CanterburyTech for an incredible #Techweek2023. It was a joy to be part of it.

[Lumin @LuminPdf]

We hosted our first ever in-person event last week! Our Gen-Tech panel of six discussed the state of startups, touching on motivation, funding and diversity.

Thanks for coming @Partlyhq @KomodoWellbeing @OneReg_ and MenuAid 🎉🥳

Missed out? We'll do more, promise!

[Max Ferguson @maxkferg]

I look forward to flexing my public speaking muscles.

[Lumin @LuminPdf]

It's TechWeek 2023! We have two events on here in Ōtautahi Christchurch:

Our futuristic fireside chat: https://t.co/h6cPw8J0sh
And our @GoogleWorkspace-themed morning tea: https://t.co/egoe30o9Se

Both events are free and come with snacks. 🥳🤖

[Max Ferguson @maxkferg]

Last week I returned to University of Canterbury for the STEM careers day. My fellow UC alumnus Scott came along and together we gave students what they want most: pizza.

Chatting to today's students makes the future of STEM look put-your-sunglasses-on kind of bright.

[MORGO @morgocommunity]

Our latest podcast features Max Ferguson, CEO of Lumin, a leading technology company in the online pdf editing space. With over 80 million users, Lumin helps its customers sign over a million documents per week! Listen to his story here: https://t.co/09YxUc5vwT!

[Max Ferguson @maxkferg]

I am really excited for this. Tech changes so quickly, and our panel is lined with leaders who can speak to this from every stage of growth.

[Lumin @LuminPdf]

We're hosting a cosy fireside chat for the next generation of founders!
Come along to our Ōtautahi office on May 18 for nibbles and knowledge 🎉🤓

Making good software accessible is a mission close to my heart. With this new feature @LuminPdf is accessible to millions more people.

[Lumin @LuminPdf]

New languages just dropped: Lumin’s website and app have been fully translated into Portuguese, Spanish, Vietnamese and French!

[Max Ferguson @maxkferg]

This was my plan all along.

[Max Ferguson @maxkferg]

I don’t see why everyone is so adamant that Google is losing the AI race.

Google developed and released transformers (the T in ChatGPT) back in 2017. I have no doubt the same technology is already being applied across Google Search and Google Workspace.

[Sundar Pichai @sundarpichai]

We're expanding access to Bard in US + UK with more countries ahead, it's an early experiment that lets you collaborate with generative AI. Hope Bard sparks more creativity and curiosity, and will get better with feedback. Sign up: https://t.co/C1ibWrqTDr

It was a joy to host our Vietnam team here in NZ. I am looking forward to visiting Ho Chi Minh City this week!

[Lumin @LuminPdf]

Last week work in the cloud came down to Earth.

Our Vietnam team came all the way from Ho Chi Minh City to Ōtautahi Christchurch for some old-fashioned in-person team bonding.
