Earlier this week we published our first interview with Benoit Terpereau, CPTO at Lunii, and it was a blast! The main theme was the 4-day workweek Lunii introduced recently, we discussed motivations, concerns, and potential pain points to avoid. Finally, we ended up discussing the use of AI in the context of educational toys for children -- it was interesting to see how Lunii is approaching this field. Links in the first comment if you've missed the episode - this one is worth catching up with.
