This week was dominated by a significant milestone: our first major project review. I’ll be honest, I was bracing myself for a proper grilling, but the entire process was surprisingly smooth. No curveball questions from the development team, which is a victory I’ll gladly take. My mentor and I managed to field all project queries, and we’re now fully aligned on the path forward.
With the review ticked off, my focus snapped back to the core of the project: the AI.
A large chunk of the week was spent nailing down its core capabilities. This isn’t just about what it can do, but perhaps more importantly, what it shouldn’t. We’re drawing very clear privacy boundaries. The next challenge, which I’m still mulling over, is how to translate this into the homepage UI. The goal is to create a dashboard that elegantly displays AI-gathered insights alongside a user’s daily tasks and general “busy-ness” level. It’s a tricky balance to get right, and it’s not quite there yet.
On the collaboration front, things are looking brilliant. I had a great chat with our Interaction Designer, and she’s fully on board with the design direction. Our working styles seem to click perfectly, which feels refreshingly harmonious. Here’s hoping that smooth collaboration continues.
The week ended not with a whimper, but with a deep-dive conversation. On Friday, a colleague and I found ourselves chatting until 10:30 PM, mapping out the future of the AR industry. We inevitably landed on Apple, and you just have to admire the sheer depth and muscle they’re putting into the field. It was a good reminder that, at the end of the day, Apple is still Apple.
