how do you get AI to celebrate someone's year without psychoanalysing them, glazing them, or accidentally reminding them of the worst parts of it? I wrote about writing the prompts for @meetgranola Crunched 2025 https://t.co/mkfy3frjCV
granola.ai
The challenge of building Granola Crunched was as much tonal as it was technical. Here's how we engineered prompts that felt recognizable, observational, funny, and shareable—while avoiding anything...

unbelievably excited that this is live and so proud to be part of the team who built it, can't wait to see what recipes you all cook up
Better models are only half the story. Without better context, chatting with AI will always feel like you're chatting with a stranger. Introducing Recipes. Now you can run advanced prompts across the world's best context: your Granola notes. Make your own, or try one by experts

the real magic is seeing beyond words to patterns. the right queries can help you recognize unspoken team dynamics, notice who might be struggling silently, and understand exactly where to offer support

the questions that have been the most interesting aren't about facts, but insights: "what unacknowledged needs keep surfacing?" "where do our conversations consistently get stuck?" "who might feel unheard?"

this feature has transformed how i understand teamwork. it hasn't just made our work faster and better - it's helping reveal the invisible patterns in how we actually communicate and where we can help each other more
Introducing a new way to use Granola 🔥 Our chat feature now works with any person or company - no more digging through old notes 🗂️ Use Granola to chat across multiple meetings and ask things like “What feedback has Jim given about our product?”.

gone at tony blair making his usual reactionary interventions in front of the tony blair institute's new ItsNiceThat core branding. you can hear the sound of a thousand graphic designers frantically rushing to pinterest, an entire aesthetic has been found dead
Tony Blair telling us the problem is disabled people on benefits, rather than the parasitic super rich (like him)

partiful will not make money. there is no pitch at scale. the TAM is small. there is no market opportunity. no moat. no one has a thesis on the space. investors gave us money to help u party and that is what we are here to do. enjoy it babes

Here's what I learned: Nasrat previously worked for the World Bank and ICANN, and originally meant to start an "Etsy for Afghanistan." Then the Taliban took over, and the famine began. 13,000 Afghan newborns have died of malnourishment in 2022 so far.

Extra taxes for average zoomers. If this goes through a 25 year old grad on 25k faces marginal de facto tax rate of 40ish%. 69 year old doing same job would pay 20%
Exclusive: The threshold above which graduates have to pay back student loans is set to be lowered by the Gov. Currently £27k. Ministers looking at £25k or as low as £22k. Announced within weeks. Would save Treasury billions… but squeeze grads further. https://t.co/sl0b0ghHV7
