The shirt came first.

The podcast was inevitable.

The Helpful Assistant t-shirt design: a robot saying I am a helpful assistant to a slightly tired-looking human.

I sketched this design at the pub one evening. A tired-looking human, a too-eager robot, a small disagreement about who was helping whom. The kind of cartoon you draw when you have spent the day arguing with an LLM.

I had it printed on a t-shirt because t-shirts are how I commit to a joke.

A few months later, Phil and I started planning a podcast about hands-on AI. We needed a name, a logo, an identity. And there I was, already wearing one.
