𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 Latent Space with swyx and Kevin Smith - 𝗘𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲: Building Snipd: The AI Podcast App for Learning
𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗲: May 19, 2025
𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆
The future of AI-enhanced learning isn't about complex features - it's about seamlessly integrating into users' existing habits. Snipd's approach of using voice AI to extend the natural podcast listening experience shows how we can make learning more effective without disrupting user behavior.
𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗜𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀:
As AI tools proliferate, success will come from understanding user psychology rather than pushing cutting-edge technology. This principle applies across product development, especially in fintech and educational technology where user adoption is crucial.
𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 🧠
This conversation challenged my view on AI product development. Instead of asking "What can AI do?", we should ask "What existing user behavior can AI enhance?" This shift in perspective could be the key to building truly impactful AI products.
