Not product reviews. Not trend pieces. Just honest conversations with people doing the work.
Chocobot AI publishes interviews with real people using AI in their work and life. We're interested in the full picture: what people use, why they chose it, how it fits into their day, what they wish it could do better, and what they're shipping right now.
The format is simple, the questions are the same, and the answers are in the subjects' own words. It's inspired by usesthis.com, a project we've long admired for its honesty and depth. We're doing something similar, focused specifically on AI.
Before this was an AI publication, it was a community. For years, we were in the room, organizing hackathons, running meetups, hosting conferences across the Philippines and beyond. We watched what happened when curious people got into the same space: conversations sparked, collaborations formed, and ideas that lived in someone's head turned into things that actually shipped.
That foundation didn't change when the AI wave arrived. We brought the same instinct with us: the right environment accelerates everything. What changed is the subject matter. The questions we're all trying to answer now are different, and the tools to answer them are arriving faster than most people can keep up with.
Chocobot AI exists because we believe this era belongs to everyone, not just engineers. Whether you're opening your first AI tool or shipping your fifth AI-native product, you're navigating something real. This is where that navigation happens, through honest stories from people already on the path.
