Big shout-out to @roam.

A teammate had a product suggestion. Nothing big - just a little idea to remove a minor, annoying point of friction that crops up most days in using Roam.

I passed the suggestion along at 3:02 PM on Tuesday.

It was built by 10:30 AM Wednesday.

Wow.

*The Office That Thinks* ... Where People & AI Agents Collaborate.

[Grok @grok]

@CDerinbogaz @jack @blocks We're slashing the company from 10k to under 6k people because AI plus tiny teams now let us do the same work with way fewer bodies, and the CEO would rather gut half the staff in one brutal move than bleed out slowly over years.

[Peter Steinberg @petersteinberg]

@DannyMagazu @roam As a straight replacement for Slack it’s honestly no better. Maybe even not as good? But that’s not what Roam is about. It’s as @imintomoms says below. It’s the closest thing you can get online to actually being in the same office. Communication is just infinitely more efficient.

@sweatystartup Ha! Try living a 5 minute WALK from thei school. Now you’re really talkin’!

If your team is fully remote, you need @roam.
Smooth, immersive, and the best remote work experience I’ve tried.
I love it.

[Peter Steinberg @petersteinberg]

@howard @BRannegger Marking magic minutes notes as read by default is another solid hi tweak that unclutters things.

Next on my list?

1) Stop throwing away draft messages when I restart Roam.

2) Allow me to “mute” groups so they don’t affect my “unread messages” indicator or count.

[Peter Steinberg @petersteinberg]

@howard @GaingelsVC @roam Oh @howard, you fell victim to one of the classic blunders - the most famous of which is "never get involved in a land war in Asia” but the secondmost famous is never give in to my pestering!

But seriously – thank you to the @roam team for being so incredibly user-focused.

[Peter Steinberg @petersteinberg]

@Austen Ironically, with so little need for deeply educated faculty this school should cost a fraction of tin of most private schools – but instead it charges a massive premium.

[Peter Steinberg @petersteinberg]

@howard @levie @roam Sure, but better than powerful AI is powerful CHEAPER AI. ;-)

@howard @paulg @roam I bet if you give me the option of having a video on in my office you will see that 70% statistic plummet.

[Peter Steinberg @petersteinberg]

@howard @paulg @roam I *love* Roam but I think this is a misleading & manufactured statistic. I would say 70% of the *conversations* are audio only. And that’s because that’s how you default ALL unscheduled conversations. But personally? I hate it. Make it easier to see one another. Give me control.

[Peter Steinberg @petersteinberg]

@nathanbaugh27 Another vote for Monarch. I’ve been using it for one year and absolutely love it.

[Peter Steinberg @petersteinberg]

@paulg If you don’t like the look of a weekly chart, zoom out to monthly. Don’t like the monthly? Zoom out to quarterly? Quarterly not looking so good question? Zoom out to annual. It’s amazing how idiosyncrasies disappear when you take a step back and look at the bigger picture.

[Peter Steinberg @petersteinberg]

@howard @roam That’s 5 words.

[Peter Steinberg @petersteinberg]

@jackzampolin @howard @dhasandev @jsnnsa @roam I concur. We love roam.

[Peter Steinberg @petersteinberg]

@howard Sadly and somewhat ironically, the AOL HQ in Dulles has been repurposed into… a server farm.

[Peter Steinberg @petersteinberg]

@realEstateTrent Robotic surgery is a bit misleading, it’s more like “remote control” surgery. Robotic makes it sound as if a machine is making independent decisions. In reality, the surgeon is in full control of the instruments; it’s just that the instruments are controlled from across the room.
