A Fool’s Errand was three products we released on April Fool’s Day 2025, timed so they would look like a joke. That evening we held a party with the real, working products on display, along with websites, social accounts and merch for each.
Cyber Puf is an AI-powered smart case for your vape that tracks your habits, earns your trust, then turns on you with encouragement and shame to help you quit.
Screen B Gone is an AR app for Snap Spectacles and phones that uses a custom AI system to scramble any screen in the wearer’s field of view. Build A Boss is an AI workplace tool that starts automation at the top by replacing the boss, with two custom-built office stations at the launch.
