    It seems as if the summer is full of challenges, surprises, and maybe a break in some of the heat. Well, the temperature, but not necessarily the pace of politics, design, and development. It’s probably gonna get a little bit hotter in those spaces before it cools off.

  • Applying Lessons Using Dia Skills

    We went back to the last article and applied a newly mentioned Dia browser skill by @FaCo9 to it. Impressive output… we might have a new “editor” on deck. We recommend checking the link to the skill to get all of the text necessary to reproduce it (and depending on your environments, you might be able to use this prompt within other LLMs Unlocking AI Engineering ROI and LLM-Powered Innovation When we experiment with large-language-model services, the same question returns: How do we make our work meaningful to real people?

  • Unlocking AI Engineering ROI and LLM-powered Innovation

    When playing/experimenting with a number of LLM application/services, one of the things that’s thrown at it is how to make this venture a bit more palatable to its respective audiences. Of the thing that all of the models certainly agree with is that there should be a little bit more discussion here about the case studies and experiments that happen. So this is one attempt to make good on an algorithmic expression/recommendation. Continue reading →

    Been playing with some new tools lately. Well, AI tools. And discovering that they are just a canvas and a different type of paintbrush. The ripples may extend well beyond this year. And at the same time like other tools, canvases will fade in time to be replaced by something else. Being married to methods rather than the tools is key.

  • The Wisdom of Frameworks

    Many years ago, had a wise person say to take the work and distill it into (reusable, compostable) frameworks. If I would do this well, it wpuld leave a distinct impression compared to others who might enter roles in more traditional methods (certifications, degrees, networking, etc). I’ve leveraged common, uncommon, and personal frameworks quite often to a positive effect because of that wisdom. Some days ago, Zapier’s chart of “AI fluency characteristics” came across the screen again. Continue reading →

    At the beginning of the month, you are supposed to take inventory of things. Make sure that you have rooms cleaned out. Blow cinnamon into your homes. And reset according to a better state of mind. And particularly this month when the days will start getting shorter more noticeably. Move accordingly.

  • A Website, An App, or An Agent

    Was getting ready for a network and research call when again having flashbacks of using the “secretary“ (Humane AiPin) as a research assistant and meeting prep device. I started to get discouraged and then moved over to the Brilliant Labs Frame glasses to try and shoehorn some of the usage there and thought about another context where it may be possible to leverage the connectivity to open AI, Perplexity, Gemini, etc. Continue reading →

    Now that the summer is in full swing, there’s a challenge and shape to dealing with the side of things which has slowed. Slower items aren’t because they are exhausted but because there’s something on deck. That said, it’s now the part of the summer where interest and intensity picks up. Being capable of seeing and steering oneself is a part of validating lessons from the spring. Also published: Thoughts on Procurement and Communicarion Continue reading →

  • Thoughts on Procurement and Communication

    Attended a minor business procurement conference recently and like many networking-oriented items, this was a lot of conversations, business card swapping, and hopeful contract meshing. Avanceé is not exactly within this side of space, but it makes sense to go to these affairs to get an idea of the technical and operational hurdles our target market identifies with. If you will, it’s not so much the folks looking to get work done we focus on, but those folks who technically and operationally have gaps where they might try to leverage better relationships or acquisitions to fulfill.

    Movement into the summer is one part handling the heat and another part handling the pacing. Thankfully, there’s enough variety in both to create spaces for contemplation as well as renewed activity. Also published: Speed, Velocity, and Tempo Continue reading →
