Today I’m excited to share that @read_cv is joining the team at @perplexity_ai in their mission to make the world's knowledge more accessible to everyone. This is incredibly bittersweet for us, as the start of this new chapter will mark the end of our time with @read_cv. It has been an incredible privilege to put our whole selves into building this product and community over the past 4 years, and we could not have done it without your support. In addition to your professional accomplishments, @read_cv was our take at celebrating creative work outside of the status quo — digital gardens, independent film, zines, furniture making, self-published music. Today we are making all of your data available to export in hopes that it can inspire our community to carry the torch and build something new.

@henrymodis @scspeier great working with you henry, thanks for all your work and direction!

Last week was my final week at Perplexity. After nearly four years of full‑speed, labor‑of‑love work, I felt ready to pass the baton. I’m excited to share that @scspeier will lead the design team going forward. There are many things I’m proud of, but most of all I’m proud of the design culture at Perplexity. It fosters boldness, creativity, trust, and, most importantly, real impact. Everyone on the team lives our brand’s values, embodying curiosity and a love of learning. I have no doubt this culture will not only endure but continue to grow as the company evolves under Sebastian’s stewardship. ····

Over the past two months, my most impactful move as a design manager has been encouraging and supporting every designer to start building with Claude Code. Designers used to create a “source of truth” in Figma which was used for QA and accountability.. if anything was wrong, you’d point to the designs and say, “This is how it’s supposed to look.” The designers would take this artifact hand it off to engineers to build another “source of truth” on GitHub that would become the repo where other engineers can fork and build on top of. Now — the designer creates the source of truth on GitHub, and it’s closer to “the designs” because it is the designs. Less gets lost in translation, and everyone speaks in code. Figma remains useful for napkin sketches and quick visual experiments, but we are clearly moving beyond Figma as the primary document. The hardest part is getting set up—it’s daunting and scary leaving the things you love behind. People just need a little bit of emotional support to get started. But after taking the leap, everyone is feeling empowered and excited. They are all literally 10x’ing their productivity. The worst part is that engineers are a bit overwhelmed because they have way more PR’s to review.

Now available. 💫 Comet lets you… talk to the internet, ask questions about your tabs and history, send agents out to do things for you, and syncs to your main Comet experience for sharing bookmarks and passwords. So excited to share Comet iOS with the world. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do! I'll be sharing some process around how we designed and built this in the coming days.

I'm in awe of our creative team right now

I'm excited to share Pane, a new way to understand your finances with the help of AI. Pane has been instrumental to me and my friends in helping them see their financial data in a new light, building healthier habits along the way. I'm excited to hear what y'all think of it!

@nikhilthota Type 2 fun

probably the most powerful thing we've built at perplexity - this was a fun and chaotic project to work on 😄

Perplexity Computer is bonkers. I used it to make this Ascii Paint app. I asked Computer to make it look like an old mac app. perplexity.ai/computer/a/asc…

Introducing Perplexity Computer. Computer unifies every current AI capability into one system. It can research, design, code, deploy, and manage any project end-to-end.

Wonder if particle/shader effects will become completely commoditized and end up looking/feeling ai generated now that they are so much easier to create.

anyone hiring brand designers? I've got an extremely talented friend who's an alum of Apple and an AI lab and is looking for their next gig!

@meetgranola thecreativeindependent.com/notes/spiral/

New look. Same notepad.

@mttymtt so awesome, glad you’re enjoying it!

@_andychung Just stumbled across your site, and have been jamming to the radio for a little while. An absolute vibe!

Added a little radio station that streams from a mac mini in my studio to andychung.me over the weekend, send me a guest mix~

@illpill I use OBS to stream audio to icecast, and have a separate Plexamp webhook that updates the icecast metadata when new songs play.

@_andychung Interesting. How does it work?

@andremooij safety first

@_andychung big fan of those reflective bike safety triangles

@YottaYocta hell yeah

@_andychung Deep Jorge Ben Jor cut, Ao Vivo no Rio is 10/10

@bwalkin glazed

Steve’s the best manager I’ve ever had and is the perfect person to lead the team. Like Chan, I’m extremely excited about the new era of design at Apple.
