Thomas Bégeot
Founder · Offbeat.pm
Everything looks the same. The same interfaces, the same products, the same copy, duplicated and amplified to the point of cognitive overload. Generative AI has industrialised copying. Original creations still exist, drowned in the ambient noise.
Offbeat.pm exists to make more of them, and to make them heard. Applied AI, procedural generation, interactive design: the tools that churn out the slop can also produce what exists nowhere else, as long as someone decides what it should be.
I'm an engineer, a product manager and a designer. So I can make those decisions and carry them out, from concept to build. Cutting what adds nothing, exploring new uses, and understanding what they could change for the people who use them.
