The Ultimate Raycast Deep Dive (craft, AI, hype, & more)

This week’s episode is a first of its kind because we’re doing the ultimate deep dive into one of my favorite products: Raycast

We’ll here from the founders, design team, and even the hype team and go deep into all kinds of topics:

  • The hilarious story of Raycast’s YC application
  • 3 weekly rituals that are perfect for remote teams
  • What they’ve learned about designing AI experiences
  • What we can learn from how their hype team operates
  • How the design team has changed the way they collab with engineers
  • a lot more

This is easily the most in-depth episode I’ve ever made so I hope you enjoy it :)
