Stay sharp in the AI Era. One interactive brief at a time.

Each brief takes one concept from shipping real software and makes it hands-on: a working widget to test the idea, the Skills, Gems and custom GPTs we built around it, and the sources behind it.

Why 10× isn't a constant

Why we write these. And why they look like this.

01

Built, not described.

Every brief ships with a widget you can grab and play with. If we can't make the concept playable, we don't ship the brief.

02

Linked, not locked.

Each brief points to the Pirxey-authored Claude Skills, Google Gems and custom GPTs we use day-to-day. Take them, fork them, use them.

03

Sourced, not invented.

Every number maps to public research or our own delivery telemetry across 100+ shipped products. Click through and verify.

Have a concept you wish someone made playable?

Book 30 minutes with Mike to talk it through — or drop a suggestion by email and we'll get back.
