Episode notes
Intuitive Computing
- New computing paradigms shift when they become more intuitive, meeting users where they are.
- This contrasts with older paradigms that required users to adapt, like learning to type or query.
Platform vs. Application
- Apple's Vision Pro excels in user experience but lacks a killer app, unlike Meta's Quest focused on gaming.
- Apple's platform approach relies on developers creating compelling use cases, while Meta provides more specific, immediate applications.
AI Product Strategy
- Leverage AI to enhance human capabilities and create intuitive user experiences instead of replacing humans.
- Focus on solving unrequited human needs like connection, efficiency, and knowledge access.
