Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.

Oh to be a sleepy puppy!
This gorgeous boy Archie is up for adoption. He’s 4 months old and is vaccinated. He’s very smart in picking up words and understands boundaries very well.
Currently being fostered by me, but is ready to go to his forever home ❤️

Introducing Flex by @GooglePayIndia, a UPI-powered, simplified credit card designed for India’s financial needs, launched first in partnership with Axis Bank and built on the RuPay network.

We designed Flex to make the credit card experience as intuitive and ubiquitous as the UPI payments people make every day. It enables users to pay everywhere with the card, offering flexible repayment options, all with the trust and security of @Google.

We’ve introduced instant rewards where users earn ‘Stars’ immediately after a payment, without needing to wait for month-end statements. Redeeming rewards is just as effortless: Simply flip a toggle while making any payment with Flex on Google Pay to redeem 1 star for ₹1.

We are incredibly excited about Flex’s potential to transform how users engage with credit and empower millions to confidently manage their daily expenses.

actually Bangalore lost its cool no matter what the weather folks say...

The daytime max barely moved since the 1980s. But it's hotter than 30C for MUCH longer

Heat stress lasts longer: used to get cooler by 4:27 PM → now HOT till 5:54 PM

The night used to cool down below 22°C and we used to recover — now hours per night under 22°C — shrank from 3½ hours to 48 minutes!

No wonder I'm cranky and exhausted in the mornings!

Introducing Pocket Money on @GooglePayIndia, a simple way for teens and dependants to make seamless digital payments, even without their own bank account.

Built on UPI Circle, we designed this to give them the freedom to pay independently anywhere, while keeping parents in control with simple spending limits and instant notifications.

This is a significant step toward digital inclusion in India, made possible through our partnership with National Payments Corporation Of India (NPCI) and our banking partners. Massive credit to the team for the craft and care that went into making a complex financial journey feel so simple and safe.

today’s experiment: chimera. a little tool that let’s you realtime morph through a design system matrix generated by 4 reference images.

this one was inspired by listening to @jameygannon talk about her process on Dive Club with @ridd_design and How I AI with @clairevo. her approach to choosing moodboards over prompts made me wonder what might be possible if we applied that same approach to generative UI. and after a few dead ends, the idea turned into chimera.

the results are very generic at the moment but I might tune it up if people seem interested.

the big reminder for me is how much more inspiring a tool feels when you can explore in realtime instead of waiting for results every time you make a change.

lots more things to try in that direction.

[Citrini @citrini]

I spent 100 hours over the past week researching, writing and editing the piece we just put out.

It’s a scenario, not a prediction like most of our work. But it was rigorously constructed, dismissing it outright requires the kind of intellectual laziness that tends to get expensive.

And we’ve released it for free. Hopefully you enjoy it.

India has approx 30M units of untapped inventory; every stray dog is also an offline billboard.

In the coming weeks, we plan to start testing ads in ChatGPT free and Go tiers.

We’re sharing our principles early on how we’ll approach ads–guided by putting user trust and transparency first as we work to make AI accessible to everyone.

What matters most:
- Responses in ChatGPT will not be influenced by ads.

- Ads are always separate and clearly labeled.

- Your conversations are private from advertisers.

- Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise tiers will not have ads.

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

This isn’t a refund flow, it’s a psychology test.

For the Figma x Contra Makeathon,
I built this fully responsive Figtron device to generate almost infinite retro interfaces, with tons of animated sci-fi data-viz.

Press SHUFFLE on the UI to cycle between different generations. Use AUTO for automatic shuffle.

Ran out of credits for the month, ideally wanted to make the physical button tappable.

RTs appreciated.

[Anton Repponen @repponen]

Small experiment: an app that turns live camera into textures/patterns in my Time Stretched style. It subdivides the image in real time. Press-hold to see the raw feed; pinch to add/remove detail. Still choppy. Not on the App Store—just for me.
