- A couple of weeks later, and one moment from NimbleFest still makes me smile. 😊 The very end of the day. Standing on stage with the team, looking out over a room full of familiar faces, and finally getting to say thank you. From the outside, the whole day seemed to glide. Behind it were weeks of work you never saw. Speakers flying in from Sweden and the US. Our own WhatsApp agent getting fixed at the very last minute, and then quietly becoming one of the heroes of the day. To our clients and prospects: you gave us a whole Thursday
- Nobody reads newsletters anymore. Too many words, too little point. That's not true for every newsletter, but I'm keeping it. 😉 You probably have a few unread ones in your inbox right now. Meanwhile digital, tech and AI move so fast that keeping up feels like a second job. And half of what you do read, you're not sure you can trust. So we stopped fighting for a spot in your inbox and moved to the app you open without thinking. Nimble Agent is back on WhatsApp, rebuilt. Ask it anything about digital products, tech or AI and it
- Everyone’s racing to put AI in front of their customers. Attentia decided to start from the inside and this project really proves that becoming AI-native starts internally. 👀 Attentia is Belgium’s leading integrated HR services provider. They handle payroll, legal and wellbeing questions for 15,000 companies. Most of the knowledge behind those answers sat with senior experts, so junior colleagues had to wait their turn to reach it. Their mission is helping organizations and their people "feel good, work great" by streamlining

I'm a very rational person, so I did what rational people do: Spreadsheets, scenarios, trying to solve it all in my own head, alone. Except I wasn't alone. I have a co-founder I trust blindly: Gil, my brother. Every high and every low, we carry it together. Not every founder gets that. And it's something I'm still grateful for every single day, Gil. ❤️ But when you're both in the same
- Remember when the App Store opened and showing up early was most of the strategy? ChatGPT just had that moment. 🥹 At DevDay on 29 September, OpenAI launched plugin extensions. ChatGPT now suggests apps in the middle of a conversation, based on what someone asks. In front of 1.2 billion people a week. And apps don't have to wait to be asked anymore. Through MCP events, your system can open the conversation itself. 👀 Picture an HR lead typing: "Simon starts on 2 November as a full stack engineer. What do I need to sort out?"
- We iterate on products. Turns out we iterate on events too. 😉 The NimbleFest photos came in this week, so we lived the afternoon all over again. The talks, the conversations, the moments we were too busy to notice on the day itself. 🫠 Then the feedback forms started coming in, and two things stood out. Almost everyone was positive. YAY And the people who did have feedback gave us points we can actually act on. 🙏🏻 That second part matters more than it sounds. We work in loops: build, ask, adjust. We do it for client products and
