Writing on product, design and AI by Massimiliano Manzini.https://www.maxmanzini.com/https://www.maxmanzini.com/blog/knowledge-base-that-curates-itself/https://www.maxmanzini.com/blog/knowledge-base-that-curates-itself/Most attempts to give an AI a memory end up in a vector database you cannot read or a notes file you cannot trim. Both rot. I have been running the alternative as my daily system: a wiki an agent curates, where recall is something you can read and check rather than something you have to trust.Mon, 15 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMTAIhttps://www.maxmanzini.com/blog/last-third-of-product-development/https://www.maxmanzini.com/blog/last-third-of-product-development/Almost every talk about AI and product lands in the same place: how to get from a written spec to clean code. That is the last third of the story, and we are treating it like the whole thing. The two diamonds upstream are where AI changes the work most, and they are the part nobody is filming.Tue, 02 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMTProducthttps://www.maxmanzini.com/blog/the-model-was-always-the-point/https://www.maxmanzini.com/blog/the-model-was-always-the-point/Model-Driven Architecture promised in 2001 that the model, not the code, would be the primary artefact. It stalled for reasons AI has now removed. The catch is that the two translations in model-driven development want opposite tools, and in a regulated domain you keep the language model out of the runtime path.Sun, 31 May 2026 00:00:00 GMTAI
