Consumer Software is one of the topics Rami keeps returning to in writing, in talks, and in production code.
Short definition. Consumer Software: high-frequency consumer apps with low patience and high expectations.
In Consumer Software, the trade-off is rarely between safe and bold. It's between fast and observable.
How Rami works on Consumer Software
Most of what Rami knows about Consumer Software comes from shipping into it. Alma is a high-frequency consumer iOS app. Logging food is a multiple-times-per-day interaction, which pushes every latency and confidence decision to the surface. The rest comes from teaching it — at universities, at AI Tinkerers, and inside founder programs at Antler and Mila — and from writing about it at Action Potential.
