Jason Kline is Head of Design at Humanoid.ai, shaping the design of next-generation humanoid robots.
Why humanoid helpers are not meeting expectations — and what soft, adaptive machines they can become instead.
Four system that bring robots closer to the body
Yesterday we had an honor to host Alvin Groen, interactive director at Rare Volume.
Last year, we started designing one of the most ambitious AI products out there. While we can’t reveal much, the app is built to solve real problems for CEOs of publicly traded companies.
Hitting 60-75% of a bold goal is already a huge success—it shows you aimed high and made real progress.
One of the great product brainstorming tactics we’ve picked up from Teresa’s work is simple but powerful. Let’s imagine this scenario:
When we discovered the Opportunity Solution Tree framework by Teresa Torres, it completely changed our approach.
The more our company grows, the more rigorous and thought through our interview process is. For each position we've identified 7 values that you have to share as a candidate. 3 of them are absolutely essential, regardless of your rank:
For a while Hello Robo has been a strong advocate of "It doesn't have to be a chat" approach when it comes to user experience.
Your product is the essence of your brand: what problems does it solve for customer, how it delights them, how it talks with them verbally, visually, interactively.
I recently came across the concept of the "three magical crystals" from a serial entrepreneur David Yang, and it resonated with me. I believe every founder should seek to develop these three "crystals" in their area of focus
At Hello Robo, we've embraced what is known as the Progressive JPEG method. Progressive Jpeg loads an image in layers, showing a low-res version first that gradually sharpens. And I think it’s a perfect analogy for designing new products.
You’re building your next product. You’re super excited about it, and you believe it’s going to disrupt the market—that you’re the only one with this brilliant idea, right? Not really.
Building an MVP today isn't about just validating a novel idea—it’s about out-executing existing products. In most cases, you're entering a crowded market, and just having an idea isn't enough anymore.
If you are building your next product: Have you thought enough about understanding your customers? Do you have a clear, actionable go-to-market plan?
Most of pre-Ai product and existing Ai products on the market today often lack the one thing customers really need: REASONING ASPECT.
Only 2% of companies had one single founder, while the rest of the batch has 2 or more co-founders.
We work with US founders who have already sold their companies. They know that in order to better raise capital for their next product and get it to market, among a number of crucial points, they need to focus on Product Branding.
At Hello Robo we embrace Raymond Loewy's theory of popularity, known as MAYA, which stands for "Most Advanced Yet Acceptable."
I learned this concept from my business coach a few weeks ago. It's been on my mind ever since. A simple, yet powerful idea.
There are only five key metrics that cover the entire customer journey.
