Model inconsistency and its pitfalls

When it comes to tools and workflows, Brian Lovin (https://x.com/brian_lovin) is someone I pay very close attention to.

He’s actually the one who first got me hooked on Conductor (https://www.conductor.build/).

But times are changing (again 😅)…

So today’s episode is a deep dive into his design process and all of the ways he’s iterating on his approach to both using AI tools as well as building AI tools at Notion.

If you like getting into the weeds of how the best designers are wrangling AI then you’re going to love this episode.
