Company & Mission
We're a small, highly technical team (five engineers) in NYC building products at the intersection of AI and consumer. Our mission is to harness the "superpower" of generative AI to create products that genuinely improve people's lives-helping them learn, connect, and master information in ways that weren't possible before. We care deeply about product design and believe that how you present information and interact with AI is every bit as crucial as the AI technology itself.
Our Current Exploration : AI-Powered Reading & Summarizing App
- Overview : An "agentic reader" for long-form content (books, essays, blog posts, podcasts) that uses LLMs to compress, expand, and recontextualize information on demand.
- Key Challenges :
Crafting intuitive navigation for hierarchical summaries (from "just the basics" to deep dives).
This product demonstrates our broader philosophy : Generative AI can give consumers superpowers to navigate complex information and learn from it -but only if the user experience is thoughtfully designed to unlock these AI capabilities in a natural, intuitive way.
Why Design Is Essential Here
The Role : Founding Designer
As our first full-time designer, you will :
Define the end-to-end user experience for products we'll be iterating on.
Brainstorm innovative ways to present AI-generated content (e.g., hierarchical summaries, trust-building UI around AI-synthesized content, etc.).
Partner with our engineers early and often. We move fast and iterate constantly.
Champion empathy for the user-ensuring we solve real problems in a delightful way.
As a founding team member, you'll shape our early culture, help us hire and mentor future designers, and set high standards for our design practice.
