Every knowledge base meets the same fate. The person keeping it updated eventually stops. How we’re building shared team memory that grows out of the work your team is already doing: highlightai.com/blog/knowled…

“I actually don’t think AI should be writing your PRDs.” That and a few other strong opinions from our Head of Engineering @parrissays on Terminal Value: youtube.com/watch?v=qFs__YNY… 👀🎙️

We’re building the tool that brings calm back into your workday. Here’s how calm it’s been to build 🙂‍↕️

Can confirm: Highlight’s transitions are subtle, smooth, and deeply satisfying. Thanks, @vaunblu 🫡

AI meeting transcription and notes aren’t the finish line. More value comes from turning conversation into explicit decisions, owners, deadlines, and actions in the systems where teams work. How Highlight tackles the busywork surrounding meetings and keeps teams aligned: highlightai.com/blog/invisib…

In a small study of 18 meetings, their system surfaced an average of 2.89 hidden disagreements per meeting. Something to remember as AI notetakers become standard: an accurate transcript can still document an ambiguous agreement.

Was it an execution failure or an alignment failure? A meeting can end with everyone nodding and still produce three completely different plans. Researchers have called this the “illusion of alignment.”

Highlight happy hour, but instead of beer it’s an 820,000 Scoville unit hot sauce. No employees were harmed in the making of this (though some were definitely changed). Shout out @firstwefeast 🌶️

AI can plausibly get you to 100x productivity, but it’s just as important to talk about what that costs downstream: 100x more review 100x more routing 100x more rebuilding We learned this ourselves. More suggested actions just meant more decisions to make. We’ve recalibrated to pull back and thoughtfully deploy actions, giving people room for meaningful work without adding to the coordination burden.

We’re going heads down this week, splitting into small pods to focus on the parts of Highlight that haven’t met our bar. If there’s something you’d want from an AI tool dedicated to taking busywork off your plate, send it our way 👇 We’re listening while we build.

Is it a Thursday if your tabs don't look like this?

Chat has largely become the go-to AI interface for work. But valuable AI needs to do more than provide a good response in a chat box. It needs to maintain context as work evolves, understand the state of an ongoing task, and coordinate the actions that follow. At Highlight, we’re building toward AI that connects conversation to execution. A look under the hood: highlightai.com/blog/agentic…

Exactly. Suddenly it’s 6pm and your whole workday was finding docs, checking what’s current, and tracking people down.
