Working Girl's Guide #56: Rompers are back, I went to yet another wedding, and Siri is still dumb

Builder.ai is a hoax, I went to my first wedding as a FUTURE BRIDE, and I’m sharing my favorite prompts for Claude.

Let’s get into it.

Builder.ai is actually just a bunch of software engineers in an office

Today in AI news, unicorn Builder.ai is en route to RIP after creditors pulled back their investments upon learning that the company was seriously exaggerating. They forecasted $220 million in revenue for 2024, then brought in less than a quarter of that. Plus, much of their AI wasn’t artificial at all: accusations dating back to 2019 expose that real engineers in India were doing the bulk of the coding work.

United Natural Foods got hacked and Whole Foods shelves are going empty

Today in cybersecurity chaos, major food distributor United Natural Foods—which supplies over 30,000 grocery stores including Whole Foods—got hit with a cyberattack so bad they had to shut down key systems. The company is staying quiet on details, only admitting to "unauthorized activity" while customers posted photos of barren Whole Foods shelves and apologetic store signs. Extremely freaky to know that one cyberattack can leave us in a complete health food desert!

Apple unveils a shiny new look, but Siri is still dumb as a rock

Today at WWDC, Apple dropped its biggest visual overhaul since 2013 with 'Liquid Glass,’ which is a translucent interface that lets you see through everything like you're wearing fancy AR goggles. Okay, that will look cute with my phone chain! They also announced a slight delay in Siri's intelligence upgrade, which led to a decline in the company’s stock (nothing crazy though, it’s still up almost 10% over the year).

Another weekend, another wedding no one wants my take on! This was my first wedding as an ENGAGED WOMAN (peep the effortless way I’ve learned to spotlight my ring in pictures… so subtle, right?). It was so fun to attend a wedding through the lens of preliminary planning! I paid attention to every single detail (no notes), and I am feeling very overwhelmed/excited at the prospect of planning a fat party for all our nears and dears! Open to any and all recommendations, send ‘em my way!

They were gone for a second, but I am here to vehemently advocate that we all BRING BACK ROMPERS. You're telling me I can walk around and show my legs without the constant worry that my dress will blow away in the wind? This one from Pistola Denim is extremely comfortable, and most importantly, an all-in-one outfit. I spent maximum three minutes getting ready here, and dare I say I look put together! Also, if you follow my IG stories, you know my new personality is these phone chains. I can't tell if they're cheugy or cool, but for now, I prefer to live in blissful delusion.

Stop scrambling to look busy when you could actually be productive with minimal effort! I’m recently obsessed with Claude, which is basically like having a brilliant intern who never needs coffee breaks (no offense Annie, I love you and your coffee breaks).

My top lazy girl hacks with Claude:

Email magic: Paste that passive-aggressive email from Karen and ask Claude to draft a diplomatic response. No more staring at your screen for 20 minutes trying to sound professional.

Meeting prep on autopilot: Upload your messy notes and have Claude create clean talking points or action items. You'll look like you have your life together, even if you spent the morning browsing phone chains instead of organizing talking points (couldn’t be me!)

Data Detective: Upload spreadsheets and ask Claude to explain what those numbers actually mean. No more pretending you understand pivot tables.

Quick Research: Need to sound informed about industry trends? Claude can summarize complex topics into digestible talking points that make you sound like you read Harvard Business Review daily.

Nothing says "professionalism" like writing a fever dream in someone's LinkedIn endorsements. This week, Ross shares his wildest (and most concerning) LinkedIn recommendations, I admit to my embarrassing wine knowledge gap, and we unpack a truly chaotic happy hour blackout story that I experienced firsthand. Plus, Ross and I debate airport dadding, my tendency to forget coworkers' names, and we answer listener questions about low-key sabotage and how not to torch your reputation on the way out of a job. Listen here.
