    Mar 25 2026

    We'll read my new article about ​how I tested an AI voice agent. https://rbefored.com/ai-user-research-conversation-cc06367c4efb And since I opened up this AI agent to my community, we'll see what else it captured.

  • Ep 290: Atomic Product-Market Fit + My "AI and Excellent Research" Course: AI in research & strategy
    Mar 20 2026

    I have a new book and course! Learn more at AtomicPMF.com. I'm teaching my three-level model to product-market fit, which you'll need if you have products or services you want humans to buy.

    As part of the course, I'll be teaching how I use AI in my work. I've been refining my technique for over 1.5 years, and am excited to teach it to you! The course can be taken live, or watch the live sessions later, and take the course asynchronously.

    If you're under pressure to use AI more, or you're curious about how to do it thoughtfully and with high quality, my course is for you!

    The demo at the end of this live webinar got a bit funky. To see a better demo, see my Oct 2025 video at https://dcx.to/275, starting around 24 minutes in. I've refined by technique since then, but it's a better example than what happened here!

    This video was the 1-hr preview for the course, so I don't go into everything, but please check the course out! atomicpmf.com/courses

  • Ep 286: AI Transformation Is Service Design w/Larry Marine
    Feb 26 2026

    Adding AI to internal processes OR the products and services you deliver to customers is more than a tech integration. You'll need to understand what users need, and then design/build for that. Well, if you want to be successful.
