Our advisor @baileyelaine recently joined OpenAI as Head of Community, working with ChatGPT’s early and emerging adopters to shape how the product can deliver sustained value over time.
We met up recently to discuss --
📖 OpenAI’s ambition for “scaled access to intelligence”
🤲 How to engender trust with product in an AI-driven world
↔️ OpenAI's emphasis on "building with reciprocity"
💨 The unprecedented pace of ChatGPT's growth, who their earliest adopters are, and how that's rewired how they build

This week we announced our partnership with @elementalcog, the AI company founded by Dave Ferrucci, creator of IBM Watson. Our aim is to explore human-centered contexts that bring new experiences to life with trust and reliability runyon.io/designing-with-ai
Some thoughts on our studio model for venture incubation and design services. Thanks to @MattMcCueWriter for the thoughtful interview
New interview! How @runyondesign combines the best of venture and design services.
"What we like about our model is the control...Incubation as a studio gives us far more range and flexibility." -- @jfrizk

The best minds in insurance and fintech have collaborated to help incubate Reserv.
Olev Ilichev, @mattcharris, @CJPrzybyl, @noahbreslow @AnthonyDAvella, and the team at @runyondesign played major roles in our incubation and launch.
⚡️ @reserv_ai -- a modern claims company that hopes to re-imagine the TPA category -- comes out of stealth this week and is announcing an $8mm seed round led by @BainCapVC and Altai prweb.com/releases/2022/7/pr…
Reserv is the third venture our studio has incubated in the last year -- proud of our team and fellow partners + investors in standing up such an ambitious vision @CJPrzybyl @noahbreslow @mattcharris @AnthonyDAvella

Excited for Tertulia's unveiling today and this next phase. So grateful to team including @robertlenne @CuzaLynda, early incubators John Ingram, @ryan_darnell_, and @jfrizk, and all our investors including our seed round leads @kevinryan and @susannahshipton from @alley_corp.
Tertulia is 🚀 today! Thank you @nytimes for covering us in this profile: A New Way to Choose Your Next Book nyti.ms/3tgRvVW
"A sleek new app that takes a novel approach to online discovery."
Sign up for access today at the link in our bio. Happy reading!
So excited to share Tertulia’s public launch 🙏 We co-founded and incubated @JoinTertulia with the thesis that book discovery is still an unsolved problem online: where do you go when you’re curious to find smart, tailored book recommendations? nyti.ms/3tgRvVW
In short, if a book has moved someone enough to get them talking, you can find it, buy it, and share it all on Tertulia. If you consider yourself an avid reader, we hope you’ll give it a try @JoinTertulia @scwilich
Have been quiet here of late, but picking our heads up to share a series we've started: Behavior & Business, exploring the intersection of design, venture & strategy, and the human behaviors that underlie great products⚡️ Our first guest is @scottbelsky: runyon.io/behavior-business
We covered a lot, but loved @scottbelsky unpacking "the interface layer," a post/theory of his on design's disproportionate role in dictating product and venture outcomes: "Choices are made in the front-end experience of everything."

Because my wife isn’t on Twitter, I can say this video from @StarksTheDunk , gifted to me by @jfrizk, is the best birthday present I’ve ever received. Bonus: Starks putting up for debate whether Jordan is actually the best ever
