If you're in the early stages of adopting AI in your business, where do you actually start?
Our co-founder Boris Bozic is speaking at AI x SME, hosted by @techcouncil_aus, this Friday, sharing three practical ways to get started:
From zero to one: Set up an AI assistant and safely connect it to your email, documents and business know-how.
Automate repetitive work: Find a task AI can take on. Let an agent handle the manual steps so your team can focus on more valuable work.
Make use of AI in your existing software: Explore the AI features in tools you already pay for, while keeping your data safe.
You'll leave with a clearer idea of where to start, what AI could realistically do for your business, and how to build on that without changing everything overnight.
It’s free to attend events.techcouncil.com.au/ai….
Come and say hello!
Our designer @jordangeizer went looking for how design teams actually work with AI, not the demo reel version. The Atlassian finding alone is worth it. Sometimes less context beats more.

Nice breakdown from @benderham88 on what actually breaks when AI meets a design system it can't fully read.

AI code review: setup takes an hour. Working out who owns the judgement takes a blog post.
Build vs buy, for teams that have opinions 👇

Software spent 70 years designing for a "median user" who doesn't exist.
@ronaldaveling on why that constraint may be softening and what design systems, headless content, and AI agents change about it 👇
AI let mid-level engineers ship what used to need a senior. The productivity was real.
The cost showed up later: code that worked but nobody fully understood, reviews that drifted into skimming, dependencies added because they were easy to generate.
@jeprisk on what the speed boost actually costs, and how teams stay sharp from here.

Cross-disciplinarity isn’t new. @ronaldaveling on what the AI in Design 2026 "Frankenjob" framing missed:
“Frankenjob” is an cool POV on the AI in Design 2026 report.
But it overlooks the fact that teams like @thethinkmill have been doing the cross-disciplinary dance for years. AI didn’t create the practice; but it sure made it visible at scale.

AusCycling had a growing network of websites and a patchwork of tools to manage them. We built a multi-site CMS and token-powered theming system so editors can launch new branded sites in minutes.
Shipped in time for the Olympics 🥇

Government services have to work for everyone. Accessible, secure, and built to last beyond the team that ships them.
We've been doing that work with agencies like DFAT, DAFF, ASIC, and the Queensland Government.
We've now given it a page 👇

Medical annotation tools. MCP servers. Conversational assistants. AI-assisted finance workflows.
We've shipped a lot of AI work.
Here's how we approach it:

At Thinkmill, design is a conversation between multiple practices, not something that “designers” do, and others wait to build.
It encompasses everything that contributes to a positive user experience outcome.

CI pipelines tend to slow down as teams scale, especially in monorepos.
In this piece @dpandiyan shares a CI pattern shaped by one of our key principles for sustainable software development: build once, consume everywhere.

Great engineering comes from curiosity, and sometimes that means building your own setup from scratch.
In this article, Thinkmill engineer @dpandiyan
shares how he customised Arch Linux with Hyprland for a fully tailored development environment.

Features don't exist in isolation. Users experience them as part of a journey.
User Journey Mapping helps us understand what users are doing, thinking, and feeling as they move through a product.

APIs shape the product experience long before UI work begins.
In this article, Thinkmill designer @murphytrueman shares how designers can collaborate on API design using systems thinking.
