Today we’re announcing Remix in Confluence.

Remix is part of our continual efforts to thoughtfully weave AI into the tools you already use. To respect the “beautiful mess” of real work, and help teams more clearly communicate through shared context.

With Remix, we're making text feel much more malleable. We recognise that everyone thinks differently, and has different approaches when it comes to articulating ideas. By making it easy to turn text into visual stories, timelines, diagrams, briefs and more - expression becomes fluid and direct. Less time being stuck for words, and more flow.

We're still working on performance, polishing the visual finesse of the remixes and tuning the usability. But in the spirit of building in public, Jenifer S (one of our stellar design leaders in Teamwork Collection) recorded a Loom where she walks through the thinking and interaction detail for the current Labs build of Remix.

I hope you get a sense of our excitement and care for the detail. Watch here -> https://t.co/P0J5FyddgS

Hand Mirror 4 is out now, you can take a Snap, draw on it, and save it to your Photo Library 📸

Here's some of my favorite UI details:

I’m very excited to announce AI Autocomplete

AI Autocomplete is a breakthrough patented technology that supercharges natural language input = Unlocking 10x faster search and commerce, advertising, and powerful augmented reality. Available for use as an SDK.

This solves a fundamental problem of today’s chat interfaces – They are good at single step request, but any multi-step action (like booking a flight or purchasing goods) quickly becomes a back and forth 'game of 10 questions'.

While working on our own assistant, we realized the core driver of this problem is a human one: People don’t know everything they need to say upfront, for every action you could do on the internet. And to solve it, we would need to think about how to marry design and technology in a new way.

AI Autocomplete solves this, and can now plug into chat interfaces to guide you in real-time, with everything you would need to say, upfront. So you can do anything you can do on the internet in one shot. No more back and forth.

As a result, this unlocks multiple AI breakthroughs:
1. 10x faster search and commerce
2. Smarter (and far lower cost) media generation
3. Natural language advertising
4. Powerful, lightweight Augmented Reality

From here, we’ll be using this for Hero, but we also want others to use it too since this is an industry-wide problem. So if you have a product that could benefit from AI Autocomplete and want to work with us, reach out below!

Shoutout to @seunglee1b who helped think of and patent this nearly 3 years ago! And shoutout to the entire @hero_assistant team that keeps innovating on the next generation of AI products

I installed iOS 26 beta 1 on my main device so you don’t have to. These are the highlights: #WWDC25

A small but thoughtful detail shared by an Apple designer:

Previously, the Passwords app icon featured three identical keys. Now, each key is unique—visually suggesting stronger, more individualized security.

It’s a tiny change, but it shows just how much Apple cares about the details

@RyanTrahan will u be at a specific Target in Austin on June 14th for #joyrideday ??

[Rick Messer @rickmesser]

@cyanhex Couldn't agree more that this is a mistake. TBH I haven't had this unlock that AI is the answer to this. I've struggled with the IC/Mgmt path since IC's have such a lower ceiling.

[Marc Hemeon @hemeon]

Ok.
Wow. The Way of Code from @RickRubin is pure.

[Rick Messer @rickmesser]

@kurissuuu Wow lol 😆

AI tool prediction: usage-based pricing like lovable,Replit v0 will repeat the pattern of cellphone minutes where everyone constantly goes over and then someone just does an unlimited plan & everyone has to follow.

[Rick Messer @rickmesser]

@davidhoang Looks rad! LMK if you need a Rick-shaped designer to help with this.

Ladies & Gentlemen... 50 Years of SNL Music is the best thing I've seen on TV in 2025 so far. I've seen it twice already. The opening montage is absolutely brilliant. Staggering how influential this show has been on pop-culture. https://t.co/edkbETD3lT
