Juice is the non-essential visual, audio & haptic effects that enhance the player’s experience.

ChatGPT Gets Its “Wolfram Superpowers”!
writings.stephenwolfram.com
OpenAI and Microsoft have been killing it not only in product but in the go-to-market groundwork they’ve been doing long before launch.
With seemingly every launch, they have a slate of really compelling partners already using the new service (e.g., Wolfram Alpha and Zapier using ChatGPT plugins), giving them a big press bump from the articles those partners write and social proof. Not to mention, of course, the product is better because it’s already been tested with real customers.
It’s a beautiful thing, and a masterclass every PM should be paying attention to.

I use a similar stack for this site but might transition to one of these soon.
