About

My story

Building the best product for lawyer

I'm building Whisperit, a secure AI workspace for legal teams. I care deeply about product execution, practical AI, and building things that genuinely help people work better. Outside work, I reset by swimming in cold lakes, training, and sauna. I also love hiking in Valais with my family and cooking for friends.

Journal

My personal handwritten journal, shared page by page

These are my private handwritten notes captured with pen and pencil over time, then digitized with OCR. I use them to reflect on what I am seeing while building a company, documenting daily observations on change, technology, and the real-world impact of AI.

AI Work Feels Superhuman

As of early 2026, the integration of AI into daily work has become transformative and hard to imagine working without. In one example, a series of tasks from a work journal were cleaned up, deduplicated, and reorganized by AI in seconds, and then a coding agent was set to work writing user stories and implementing them based on the product source code — running autonomously for hours while other work continued. The sentiment is widely shared, with more and more professionals, including lawyers, describing the experience as feeling like having a superpower. The technology is not perfect, but the shift in how work gets done is unmistakable and accelerating.

Standup Keeps Us Human

The daily team standup is appreciated as a valued part of the routine, even though most participants are typically sitting at their desks rather than actually standing up, and there is an emphasis on keeping people at the center of the practice.

Double Down Then Simplify

Whisperit v3, preparing to ship in early 2026, represents a deliberate effort to double down on what has already proven effective — voice-driven drafting, fast document creation, styling, templates, and the broader vision of an AI-native legal operating system. The product direction has been shaped by thousands of exchanges with lawyers worldwide over the past eighteen months, generating a deep, well-documented understanding of legal teams' pain points. Early testers have responded with strong enthusiasm, regularly asking when the final version will be available. At the same time, the push to pack in so many features revealed a challenge: larger law firms with hundreds or even a thousand lawyers found the scope of change intimidating, viewing the switch to a young company as risky. In response, the decision was made to simplify by thinking in terms of modules, standalone features, APIs, and integrations, allowing firms to adopt at their own pace rather than facing an all-or-nothing transition.

Keep Humans in the Loop

The entry, dated 11 February 2026, reflects on the rapid acceleration of technology and the sense that the current moment represents one of the biggest shifts the world has ever seen. While acknowledging that AI and computers are increasingly handling everyday tasks like writing reports, taking minutes, and making shopping lists — often on autopilot and with impressive quality — the core argument is that human connection should remain at the center of it all. The emphasis is on preserving the basics: exchanging ideas, talking, even disagreeing, because as machines take over more routine work, genuine human contact becomes the most valuable thing left.

Riding the AI Acceleration

An early morning entry from February 2026 reflecting on the pace of change in the world, noting a feeling that everything is moving incredibly fast and that while the speed at which things can now be done feels extraordinary, it also raises deep questions about where society is headed and whether we might hit a wall sooner than expected. There is a consideration of starting to openly document and share this period, possibly by posting personal journal notes directly on a personal website, with a sense of curiosity and enthusiasm about how that experiment might unfold.
