The best part? As always, we build open technology rather than closed systems, so this new functionality isn't limited to Ghost.
You can find, follow and interact with people and publications across Ghost, WordPress, Threads, Mastodon, BlueSky, Flipboard, Tumblr (soon), and hundreds of other platforms that make up the open network known as The Fedi... See more

This isn’t about adding an AI feature to a static product. It’s about asking what a form could be if it were AI-native from the start. That kind of thinking doesn’t fit easily into the roadmap of a legacy product.

AI-native
The excitement we saw initially wasn't about the tech or the backend features; it was about the experience itself. That realization pushed us to rethink everything about Freeform, shifting our focus from yet another administrative control panel to creating an experience genuinely tuned to the end user.

I think we’re on the brink of a new era of tools, not just for makers, but for the people on the other side of the screen, too. The ones filling out the forms, having the conversations, and clicking the buttons.

But in this rush to cater to the whims of developers , less consideration has been paid to whether all this glorious software being churned out is helping the people who use it—the end users.

We don’t need more tools, we need tools that actually feel like part of our workflow, out taste.
Giving clear directions, feedback as you iterate, and appropriate context to make a decision all help humans, and they also help AI. Previously, this was something you could only do with text, but now you can do it with images as well.

This is why my workflows do not differentiate tools from people. They all need the same kind of context to do their job well when starting out.
The prevailing dogma is that startups should ship and iterate as quickly as possible. Scott believes that’s often counterproductive. You need to “surprise and delight” your customers to create a product that grows organically. You can’t do that by simply meeting a user’s expectations; you must surpass them. Doing so takes time and polishing.

This is why crafting an onboarding workflow that delights is so important.
I do way less. But I do it more deeply.
And more gets done. Everything is slower, but the results are faster .

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, we need to rethink how we measure and value AI contributions. The traditional metrics of time saved or costs reduced may miss the more transformative impacts of these systems - their ability to generate novel insights, synthesize complex information, and enable new forms of problem-solving.
