07: Building AI That Actually Helps You Live Better - Ben Taylor (Spec Founder)
In this episode, we sit down with Ben, the founder and engineer behind Spec - an OS-level AI assistant for your Mac. Ben shares how he built Spec almost entirely himself, why he pivoted from robotics to personal AI, and what he’s learned across his previous startups. We cover Spec’s architecture, privacy model, and the future of “personal intelligence.”
If you’re a developer or founder curious about practical AI tools, this one’s for you.
