One weekend with Open Orbit Session, Osiflow HMI at Emergent & The Product Folks and showcasing Osiflow's new positioning.
Most people at a meetup spend the first hour figuring out what to build. That weekend, I had already decided. Planning before a room opens changes everything. You walk in knowing what you need, which means you start the moment it is ready. That is what made this weekend different from most.

TLDR by Avaline
A weekend at Emergent, a Chrome extension, and why planning before a room opens is the real work.
Come prepared or come to plan
Saturday started earlier than the Emergent & The Product Folks' meetup in Master's Union.

At 10 am I ran a session on Open Orbit by Osiflow, a series of online sessions where designers and builders work through product thinking together. Session 2 was about product thinking. About PM agents and how you can use them to think like a product manager while designing. People stayed for more than two hours. Osiflow had already built a GitHub repository with a base layout for these AI PM agents for designers, and I helped everyone set it up so they could start from something real rather than from a blank file.

We spent more time doing than talking. That is the whole point of Open Orbit. You can watch the episode here.

When two rooms say the same thing
A few hours later at the Emergent meetup by Product Folks (on vibe coding), Mohammed, who works in product at Lenskart, gave a talk.
The content was nearly identical to what I had covered that morning. Same frameworks. Same conviction that designers need to think across the entire chain, not just the screen in front of them.
Rishabh, who had been at my morning session, caught it mid-talk and said: "This is exactly what you talked about in the morning."

That kind of moment does not come from a feedback form.
One click. Full audit
In between conversations, I was building.
Auditing an HMI interface is the first thing new users do when they arrive on the platform, and it required too many uploads. Screenshots, file switches, context loss before anything useful came back.

The Chrome extension removes all of that. Open it on top of the application, hit analyse, and get an instant audit of the current screen. What is working, what is missing, and what needs to change? One click. Chrome store submission is in progress. If you want to try it during testing, reach out directly.
The room was actually building
Along with Rishabh from the morning session of Orbit by Osiflow, I also met Jude from Quicksand Design Studio, met Deeva, who is building a kundali-based matching app, and Shafina from IBM who is working in AI and ML, and also Srishti Gupta working in Product Ops at Bridgestone (Azuga). The conversations were the kind that only happen when a room is actually building something.
Making three things distinct
Sunday was for our own websites.
People had been asking what Osiflow is. Agency? Product? Both? The answer kept getting harder to explain.

osiflow.com is the group.
osiflow.agency is creative services.
osiflow.space is the HMI product.

Clearer structure helps others understand what you are building. It also helps you stay clear on it yourself.

The alpha of Osiflow is coming. People have already signed up. If you want early access or just want to follow along, DM on LinkedIn or find me on Instagram.
More soon.
