Episode notes
Workflow-Tailored Project OS
- Tailoring project management software to an exact workflow reduces cognitive load and doubles or triples output.
- Sebastian built a custom OS so designers follow required steps without thinking about process details.
Automate Executional Steps First
- Use AI both to build internal tools and to power those tools' routine tasks like copy checks.
- Start by codifying your existing workflow, then prompt AI to automate executional steps.

- Let AI handle boring QA tasks like typo checks, contrast, and brand violations before human review.
- Use those automated checks to reduce manual QA load and catch common issues early.
