News!

We’ve spun @lexdotpage out of @Every.

I’m now focused on Lex full-time as CEO, and raised a $2.75M seed round, led by @trueventures!

Couldn’t be more excited 🙏 techcrunch.com/2023/08/23/lex…
Since Lex launched last year, a LOT has happened:

- The sentiment around AI shifted from “hot” to “ridiculously hot” to “hey maybe this is a bit over-hyped”

- Google Docs, Word, and most other writing tools built at least some sort of basic AI integration

- Some of Lex’s original features (like typing +++ to have AI generate the next paragraph) became standard “hello world” demos, and were even built into multiple open source projects
@lexdotpage @every @trueventures In this context, it’s not unreasonable to wonder what’s going on at Lex, and why we’d raise a big seed round.

Here’s my perspective: I’ve spent the past year building product and talking to users, and I’m more excited than ever to be working on the future of writing.

I wrote about a book that I love.

It's called Mastery, and it helped me be less anxious without sacrificing any of my ambition.

Here's what I learned from it:
every.to/divinations/bo…
The big idea is that we can gain serenity without sacrificing our ambition if we focus on long-term mastery and learn to love the process of continual improvement for its own sake, trusting that the results will inevitably come.
In tech, we worship results. Startup = growth, after all.

But sometimes the foundations for growth are invisible. You can’t plug them into a spreadsheet and calculate their weekly rate of change.

Had an idea for @lexdotpage, debating whether to build it—writers, would love to hear if this sounds useful? 🙏🏻

PROBLEM:

It’s great to get feedback on your writing from a group of early readers, but a pain to send a draft link around.
SOLUTION:

Early reader groups. Send an invite link to friends and colleagues, and they can join your group. Then, when you’re ready for feedback on a draft, click a button and everyone gets an email.
A few key details:

- When early readers see a draft, they can leave comments but not see other people’s comments

- We can help you guide readers towards giving better feedback by telling them what to look for (awesome, boring, confusing, disagree)

Five pieces of advice for those building in AI right now:
1. Resist broad generalizations

AI is like steel or electricity—a broadly useful underlying technology that is becoming a part of almost everything we use.

The pre-existing dynamics of whatever business you're integrating AI into are more important than any AI-specific advice.
2. AI technology isn’t anyone’s moat—but that doesn’t mean moats won't be built

Just because something is expensive to make or requires a lot of technical expertise does not mean it is defensible.

A little thing happened in my head today that was somehow meaningful to me

I was eating toast and eggs for breakfast, in a bit of a rush to start work
As I took my last bite of toast, I noticed an impulse to shovel the remaining egg in my mouth and get going.

Normally I would have done this without thinking, but today I noticed it. I thought, "hm, maybe let's hang tight for a bit and just enjoy the toast."
So I just... enjoyed the toast

It was almost like I got a free extra bite or two?? It cost me like 5 seconds, max.
