agents

How do we collect information and onboard new humans into dashboards or shared agentic experiences?

A few moments ago I scrapped my fourth rewrite. I’ve decided to do two things: simplify, and go back to my trusted Moleskine.

For new digital experiences, my intuition says Claude + ChatGPT, while incredibly effective at producing a V1, miss the mark when trying newer / experimental things. The Claude output just feels like microwaved slop. My goal today is to finish V1, scale back design, and get real humans through my new little mouse trap.

This mini launch won’t be what I’d hoped. It completes my first goal but not my secondary ones. Next week or the week after, I plan to try some of these radical onboarding experiences just to see what happens.

The question bouncing in my head: how do humans and agents onboard and share collaboratively with other humans and agents? Shared spaces, context, and gardens.

Tonight, if I wrap up some other deliverables, I’ll go back to the Moleskine and jot through my ideal user experience to see if this feels any better.

after 10 days of testing every browser out there, i’m back on Chrome. Mainly for 2 reasons: the Notion clipper (basb) and Google video meetings.

Openclaw is live!! DigitalOcean won my business, just 15 minutes to set up, costs basically nothing per hour ($0.03). George is my new sidekick for the next few days as I play with skills modules. Using telegram, but will shift towards wa, and unsure how i feel about giving skill + g apps for business access.

Spent most of day touching grass. Too many ideas, not enough time.

It’s day 8 post mouth surgery and my neck has a huge gnarly bruise. Walked down to Granville Island to Ellipsis to regroup plans for my personal website + presence.

Yesterday I was hoping to avoid Figma entirely for the rebuild, but I’m rethinking it. Might make sense to create a lightweight style guide first (created this with Claude a few hours ago, rough - kenny.is/style-guide) and use Figma as a scratchpad, not the source of truth. I guess moving fwd, the internet is source of truth (copy, design, agents, etc), not offline docs, linear, or figma files.

On the walk I couldn’t help but think; have we outsourced soul to the CLI? Or are we in the process of doing that? Or… what’s actually going on here.

More importantly, the wifi is pretty soft, so I’m in planning / writing mode for now.

2 meetings with founders this afternoon and hoping to touch grass before sun runs away.
