Millions of people still google "best ___ reddit" because they trust real people over algorithims.
We're introducing Tomo Community, where you can ask for a rec and it draws on what thousands of other opted-in Tomo users have said.
Tomo factors in how much overlap in preferences and values other users have to you when drawing upon the wisdom of the crowd while keeping their identities anonymous.
Asking Tomo is like asking everybody at once.
Here's "what's actually good to eat in sf right now?"

Tomo is acquiring Fae.
There are hundreds of personal AI companies.
But one of them got added to more group chats with Tomo than any other: Fae
Instead of battling it out, Fae’s community is coming home to @tomo.
Together, we're building AI for everyday people.
The oscars is like the cosign awards for movies
Excited to announce the Cosign Awards: celebrating exceptional people, companies, and products that had a massive impact in 2026.
cosign.co/awards
Anyone can nominate and vote. Award winners will be chosen by the public in conjunction with a panel of judges, including industry leaders like @lennysan, @packyM, @amasad, and many more. We’ll host an event in December honoring the winners (10 per category).
For people categories, we’re mostly focused on everyone except the CEO–everyone else building the company behind the scenes.
Companies with the most amount of people nominations will be listed on our “Top Companies to Work For” page.
True to form, at Product Hunt I helped launch the Golden Kitty awards a decade ago to recognize great products. Soon after I launched the Rise Awards, honoring executives and ICs building companies that make them. The Cosign Awards is the next iteration.

My new video on ai and design is now live on @Microsoft’s official website!
I believe designing intelligence means shaping humanity.
In the video, I talk about:
- Building @copilot into a thinking partner
- Designing beyond interfaces: models, memory, evaluation...
And a question I keep coming back to: as ai reshapes our world, how can we live fully, creatively, and meaningfully?

Nothing more validating.
