Episode notes
AIbox Added File Uploads
- Jaeden described adding file uploads to AIbox's Vibe Builder and used a headshot/Viking image example to show utility.
- He invites listeners to try the new feature at AIbox.ai and give feedback.
Models Should Be Socially Intelligent
- HumansAnd aims to build a foundation model focused on social intelligence across groups rather than solo question-answering.
- They position this as a "central nervous system" for human+AI collaboration to handle coordination and social dynamics.
Coordination Is The Real Bottleneck
- Many workflows are fragmented; the bottleneck is coordination, not model IQ.
- HumansAnd bets the next breakthrough is systems that understand how groups work together, not just smarter answers.
