Two weeks ago I shared Innovation Coach — a tool that runs a question through multiple expert lenses and reframes the problem before answering it. 150 people tried it! And the feedback was clear: the reframe was something no general-purpose LLM produced. But Gemini and others gave more actionable results. Fair.

CANOPY is the response.

This is what Regenerous Labs is here to do — give experts the infrastructure to build in relationship instead of alone. CANOPY is the latest experiment. Try it. Tell me what I got wrong. Help me build it better.

Try CANOPY

There’s no storage, no database — everything stays local. We can’t see what you do. This is an experiment, and we’d love your feedback. Add a comment in Substack or use the feedback tool in the bottom right corner of the app (click the Regenerous icon).

Connections to The Insider’s Guide to Innovation at Microsoft

* Developing in the Open — The VS Code story: sharing unfinished work accelerates learning and builds trust faster than polished launches

* Start With Who — Assembling complementary collaborators before defining solutions; the build revealed what happens when you skip this

* Say It Ugly — The series as the practice; this piece as the latest demonstration

* Behavior is the Barrier — The gap between knowing what matters and executing it under constraint

This piece was created with the help of AI — specifically Claude, Perplexity, and a team of expert personas built by Regenerous Labs. Direction, judgment, and final decisions by me. CANOPY itself was built using Claude as an integrated development environment. Say it ugly, build it better. Onward!
