When almost anyone can build anything, deciding what to build becomes even more important.
On 14 October, I moderated a panel on “The Future of Product & AI” at Data & AI Stockholm Summit, together with Jonas Björk, Head of Data at Lovable, Ekaterina Garbaruk Monnot, Studio Lead at Spotify, and Erik Nielsen, Principal Designer at Simployer.
On International Women’s Day, I found myself building in public at Lovable HQ. As part of the SheBuilds event, I launched Digital Fika, a simple concept designed to help people connect with someone new, somewhere in the world, over a casual digital coffee.
The idea is based on a simple truth. Sometimes the most unexpected connections turn out to be the most valuable. Digital Fika makes that easier to act on. You sign up, get matched with a stranger, and jump on a 20-minute call. No agenda, no expectations, just a conversation.
Wow! 48 hours building alongside 215 women from 43 different counties as part of SheBuilds on Lovable. And then rounding the buildathon off with pizza with fellow-builders and Lovable crew.
There’s something incredibly powerful about giving yourself permission to fully commit to building. No half-measures, no “I’ll get back to this later.” Just focus. Flow. And in this case, more than 200 accountability partners in a buzzing Discord community that somehow made everything feel lighter, more doable, and way more fun.
I’m happy to announce my debut as AI artist BusBot on Spotify and other streaming services! My first three songs are now published and available to stream around the globe. Words by me, music created by generative AI.
Never stop exploring. Curiosity is the most important soft skill on the labour market today and tomorrow. I love experimenting with new technology, to explore what possibilities there are. This time, I’m actually blown away by the fact that I’ve been able to make a debut as an AI artist on Spotify.
What a full-packed year of learnings, new connections and the exploration of new technologies and methodologies. Being a part of Modda Sörmland, starting Freelance Mornings, looking into new models for regional development with Almost There and also getting to be part of a team at Innocean Worldwide deep-diving into the market for electrical vehicles. Not to forget a continued focus on the future of work through Svenska Nomader, facilitating innovation event with Innovation Pioneers, and being part of moderating, speaking and organizing many other meetups, conferences and event together with different partners and friends.
