About

Hi, I’m Matthieu and you are reading my blog. I like to write about ideas, observations, and opinions, which may or may not be rants.

You might have caught on this blog domain, “imatter.io”. imatter was an early option for my not-yet-public project, and I got the domain. I then realised the therapy baggage behind “I matter” would work well for the kind of blogging I want to do. Writing here forces me to clarify what I think and what I do. If it allows me to connect with others and learn from each other, that’ll be a cherry on top.

Now, that’s not all there is. There’s another meaning to “I matter”. AI is often framed as a replacement for human work. “I matter” is a reminder that our welfare is the point of all this. We can now achieve goals that were previously out of reach. If we reach more goals, we also expand the possible, and the work that comes with it. In this new AI world, I do think our work will matter more, not less.

This narrative flip is the starting point of the software I’m building, helping us reach these goals, whatever they are. This blog relates my experience building that software as well as my own experience using it.
