It's getting cold
Hello oio friends! ๐ฅถ
Weโre not really sure when or how it happened but we blinked and itโs December already???
The good news is that we've got time to think about resolutions and a whole bunch of oio goodies such as:
๐ฅ Spawns in the press
Itโs been a few weeks since we launched the Spawns collection, one of the first products designed in collaboration with an artificial intelligence. A collection of three silver spoons in a limited edition of a hundred.
It turns out people were more than willing to catch them. Half of them have been sold, some already with their new owner and a few of them on their way, but all of them soup-ready! If you wanna scoop one for yourself go to oio.store c:
Weโve already seen them on display, hanging on studio walls, and even in use (cereal).
As with all shiny things, the Spawns caught a few eyes around the press, check out these lovely articles at Wallpaper* (EN), axismag (JP) and ELLE DECOR (IT).
Oh, but did I hear somebody say โFREE STUFFโ? Yup, and it was ME, because weโre giving away one of the SPAWNS to a lucky human on our Discord server, so if you havenโt joined already, hop in and keep an eye on the SPAWNS channel for the details in the following days. c:
๐ New oios in the house!
A warm welcome to Bjรธrn and Phalguni:
Bjรธrn Karmann

I like creating experiences that make you rethink how we should coexist with technology and nature. Sometimes they are large immersive exhibitions other times they are hardware hacks inspired by fungi.
Phalguni Deswal

Hi, I am Phalguni and am currently based in the UK. I love video games (both playing them and watching 7-hour long gameplay videos of these), light novels and fantasy anime. I started in healthcare, so don't be surprised if I give overly complicated explanations for everything.

๐ย What do you mean searching with prompts?
"Attention all internet users! Tired of typing in keywords to search for what you're looking for? Get ready for the future of web searching - prompting! Check out our latest article on how this new method is set to revolutionize the way we search the web. #prompting #newsearchmethod"
Our futures director Simone Rebaudengo explored the concept of internet searching through prompting instead of keywords:
๐ฌ "I always felt, like probably everyone, that I had a pretty efficient way of googling as I often find what I need. My mental model in searching is somewhat related to the way I think the algorithm works. It understands words, sometimes it does understand sentences, but it's more about whether I'm using the right word, rather than the right concept. Itโs about the minimum viable amount of words that I need to jam in that box to get what I'm looking for."
