The Cut
Every week we sweep what's new in AI for product work, kill most of it, and field-test the rest before saying a word. What survives becomes an experiment on this site; what fails gets reported so you don't waste an afternoon on it; what stops being true gets retired with a post-mortem. If nothing clears the bar, the issue says so in one paragraph — we don't manufacture content to fill a slot.
