Geoffrey Litt is a design engineer at Notion working on malleable software: computing environments where anyone can adapt their software to meet their needs and their lives. Before joining Notion, he was a researcher at the independent lab, Ink & Switch, where he explored the future of computing. He did his PhD at MIT on programming interfaces. Most of his work circles around a very simple but powerful question: how can everyday people shape the software they use like clay so that humans can have more power and agency in the world?

In this conversation, Geoffrey and Kanjun discuss:

  • Technical, economic, and infrastructural barriers to malleable software
  • Inventing new UI components for the AI age
  • Principles for agent-human collaboration
  • How AI affects the creative process
  • ...and more!
