Building the AI-native inbox - Filo.

About

👋 Hey! I’m Justin—a spinner of many plates building at the crossroads of AI, productivity, and next-gen tech. I’m currently shipping Filo Mail—your AI inbox assistant that actually understands you. Filo auto-sorts messages, writes concise summaries, and instantly converts commitments into actionable to-dos, so your next step is always clear. Because the AI is baked into the core of the client (not just bolted on), anyone can run a friction-free inbox with zero learning curve. Whether it’s architecting AI workflows, crafting go-to-market strategies, or rallying global communities, I love turning rough ideas into products people can’t live without. Let’s chat about AI, product building, and scaling tech that makes life simpler. 🚀

Does your company welcome juniors and interns despite AI progress?

Do you remember when we talked about Duolingo replacing staff with AI about a week ago?

The story continues.

What's your AI stack for creating content?

If you had to make image or video with sound to publish what tools would you use? What type of content do you (or would you) produce with those tools?

Some tools I'm thinking of are

  • @Sora by OpenAI for video

  • @Suno.ai for music gen

  • @ChatGPT by OpenAI for image gen

  • and maybe something like @ReelFarm for UCG-esque automated content.
