This past weekend, I decided to put AI to the test and challenged myseld to create a short film using only AI tools. The end result, a film I called "The Cardboard Navigator" - a w…

I often get asked how I think about product development as a Google Product Manager focused on AI products. Traditional advice is to find a user problem, then solve it - but when i…

I recently made an effort to attend every interesting Silicon Valley AI tech event that crossed my radar so I could get a sense for how different people were thinking about the sta…

Hey! Jaclyn here (eCommerce Group Product Manager @Weebly). We have made some improvements this launch to help get us closer to full VAT support, which is something that we plan to…

Size is definitely something we are incredibly conscious of. This device will be 40mm x 40m x 17mm, but we are always working on trying to get it to be smaller. We want this device…

The option to expand into other markets is something that we are always considering. We've chosen to target seniors right now, but we definitely have other markets in mind for whic…

Thanks for the feedback and input, you bring up some great points. We are currently working on a few ideas to make this device more senior friendly by adding features that would ma…

Thanks for the feedback, you bring up some valid points that we have definitely thought through. First, the expense associated with the device is comparable to what is currently on…

Great points, both of which we have put much thought into: i) our target customer is actually the daughter or daughter-in-law of the device user. They are almost always the ones wh…

Great points, this is something that we have given a lot of thought towards. We are going to be pinging the device at certain points (when someone logs into the portal for example)…

Great point - the marketing for this device is going to sound quite a bit different based on the audience that we are reaching out to. For the TechCrunch crowd, we can say things l…

Couldn't have said this better myself, this is exactly what we are doing :) We are also conscious of making sure that charging the device becomes part of a seniors daily routine to…

I've noticed this as well - and as a female co-founder of a hardware startup, I have to admit I really love it. Rarely do you find the female tense being used to describe tech rela…

Thanks! Just fixed it :)

No, I had a great group of friends in Seattle that I'd get outdoors with. Managed to find a climbing partner in Toronto but just stuck to the local climbing gym while there. Haven'…

The outdoors and the mountains just breed a different culture from my experience. Living out west I would go camping, hiking, climbing and I even got into mountaineering. Toronto d…

Haha ya, this confused me a LOT when I first got to Seattle (when I say UW I mean Waterloo).

I also know the guys who run HackerNest. They have a monthly meetup too that I used to really enjoy going to. Definitely check them out if you get a chance!

Also, firing someone based on stack-ranking takes about 2 years (at least it did on my team).

Thanks for the feedback! The voice we use on the website is something we have put a lot of careful thought into. We talked to several retirement home directors, researchers in elde…

Just wanted to back what zmitri said about Kitchener/Waterloo being the closest to SV in Canada. I went to school at the University of Waterloo, spent 2 years in Seattle, spent a y…
