Accomplice – released in the Summer of 2021 – was one of the very first generative AI webapps. Before Midjourney, before DALL-E 2, there was Accomplice. With Accomplice I got to partner with amazing investors and customers. It was an exciting time! But eventually, with the tsunami of VC billions and endless competition, Accomplice was shut down in late 2023.

On a lark I had the idea for Phoneys a couple of weeks after Apple launched stickers for iMessage.It was a sticker app that let you cover up the texts of your friends, making it seem like they'd said things they'd never said, like "You were right about politics all along" and "Oops, I just pooped myself".It quickly went viral and the night after it launched – the same day that, earlier, TechCrunch and Daring Fireball and The Verge had all written about Phoneys – Apple called and said unless I changed everything about it they'd pull it from the App Store in a week.I didn't change a thing, wrote about the fact that I wasn't – which then kicked off another round of press – and for one glorious week I had the #1 sticker in the world.
