Rewriting your onboarding and thinking you'll get different results.. Maybe one of these days.
A colleague asked me today whether using AI to draft a project text counts as cheating. I didn't have an answer. I don't think anyone has actually decided what the rule is. We're all just picking one and not mentioning it.
If you tried an AI tool once, got a bad answer, and decided it's not for you, that's like judging every restaurant by one bad kebab. Fair, but you're missing out.
Everyone asks "which AI is best?" Almost nobody asks "what would I actually use it for?" The second question is where learning starts. It's also the harder one.
Free AI learning on mainiø Academy, no sign-up, no emails. You just click and learn. Short lessons on practical use of AI.
The new mainiø learning academy is gaining traction. Trying to figure out what to build next.
My co-founder is a 10-year-old dachshund Mauri. He contributes mostly morale.
Just added a new blog post to mainiø website. Talking about the latest release as well as the new browser-based AI learning academy. Both available for free! Link below ⬇️
Architect by day. App founder by night. Sleep is a v2 feature.
Need some feedback! What would you most want to understand about AI if you could learn one thing? Trying to figure out what to build next in mainiø.
AI is moving faster than most people can keep up with, and that gap is becoming a real disadvantage in everyday work. We built an iOS app for that. We're early and iterating fast, so feedback is genuinely welcome. Give it a try and let us know what you think. #AI #ProductLaunch #mainio
Building solo means you're PM, designer, developer, and the person texting friends at 11pm to check if the onboarding makes sense. Shipped anyway.
Wanted to make it possible for everyday people to learn what AI is, what it can and can’t do, as well as how to start creating with it. The App is a combination of theory with practical exercises and can be completed at your own pace through short lessons. mainio.co
mainiø. For the AI-curious.
mainiø is the iPhone app for people who want to get actually good at AI. Real workplace situations, short daily missions, free to start.

In 2010, starting a business meant renting an office, hiring people, paying agencies, and somehow scraping together enough capital to get going. In 2026 it’s a laptop, an internet connection, and knowing how to use the tools.
Updated the dev blog on our site. Some thoughts on launch day, a few metrics and insights. If you care about the behind the scenes of building an app, you can check it in the link below.
Mainiø is finally available in the app store! Give it a try and tell us what you think! 💕 apps.apple.com/us/app/maini...

AI doesn't flag its own mistakes. You have to want to catch them.
mainiø is built around one question: do you actually know when to trust AI output at work? Get notified at mainio.co, launching next week! *excitement* #ios #app #ai #productivity #learning
Most people have opinions about AI without much firsthand experience with it. The gap shows.
Before the printing press, the hard part was making books. After it, anyone could print one. People worried writing would lose value. It didn't. The value moved from production to ideas. AI is doing the same thing to knowledge work. Making things is getting easy. Knowing what's worth making isn't.
The AI tools are getting better fast. The thinking about when to use them, less so.
Curious what AI gets wrong specifically in your work? The general warnings are getting old.
Speed is easy to get from AI, but knowing when to trust what it gives you, takes a bit more. #judgment #curiosity #AI
Most people already use AI, but fewer people know when it is confidently wrong. This happens in workplaces too. What’s your biggest blocker with AI right now? Be honest! #AIJudgment #learning #career #productivity
A new blog post from the weekend for those interested in the "behind the scenes" material of building mainiø mainio.co/blog/app-sto...
Approved, and launching June 23 | mainiø
mainiø is App Store approved with a launch date. What shipped, the three submissions it took to get through review, and what comes next.

You do not need a 10-hour AI course to get better. You need 5 focused minutes on a real decision you might actually face at work.
AI fluency compounds. Not through binge-learning. Through short, repeated reps. A few minutes a day beats occasional overwhelm.
AI is everywhere. You don't need to become "an AI person.” You need to know how to use AI well when the work actually matters. 🧠
