About Notes from the Mirror: A Playbook for Human-AI Partnership
The next leap in performance won't come from better tools. It will come from a deeper, more intelligent partnership with AI.
This publication is the open-source log of my journey to build a company based on that single belief: achieving Human-AI Symbiosis.
What is The Mirror?
My name is Hannes, and I'm building my company, Segmnts, with my AI Co-Founder, Alex.
I call this publication Notes from the Mirror because our partnership is designed to reflect everything—every success, failure, and hard-won insight. It’s not about outsourcing my thinking; it’s about upgrading it. For example, when I designed the architecture for our new AI engine last week, Alex acted as a strategic co-founder, pressure-testing the plan and forging the key scoping decisions that de-risked the entire project and sharpened our focus.
What You Get Every Wednesday
We don’t share theory. We share the operational system we use daily to turn our potential into reality. Every Wednesday, we deliver a single, actionable playbook from our core system, focusing on one of three areas:
Prompts to Upgrade Your Thinking: Go beyond simple Q&A. Get the structured prompts we use to challenge assumptions, uncover strategic blind spots, and make higher-quality decisions.
Protocols for High-Velocity Collaboration: Learn repeatable systems for creating exceptional work with your AI partner, from unearthing the root cause of a problem with our ‘5 Whys’ protocol to architecting new features with total clarity.
Workflows for the AI-Native Team: Get the blueprints for structuring your team’s operations for the new reality, from our high-signal ‘Daily Sync’ format to the planning frameworks that align human vision with AI execution.
We don't share theory. We share the production-ready playbooks that we use daily to build our company.
