Book
Book
Just Enough AIPractical lessons from building products with (and for) AI—lessons, experiments, and misadventures from a year of actually wrangling these tools. Everyone asks how AI can help; clear answers are harder to find. This book chases a different question: what is enough? Finding the sweet spot—validating assumptions with real users without over-testing, and threading the needle between aesthetics, cost, and timeline.
We shipped it with our Notion-to-print pipeline so we could get a real book in hand without losing weeks to layout software. Grab a PDF copy (and the rest of the story) on the site.

What We Enjoyed This Week
Matt does an excellent job with the voice and POV of the dog narrator here. There's just enough of the dog not understanding things and describing them in novel, dog ways to be plausible and interesting, but not so much to be cloying or confusing.
