## Intro

A snapshot of what I'm doing and thinking about right now. For the moment-by-moment version, see /stream; for the social version, connect with me on LinkedIn and X.

## Narrative

## Working on

- **mOOnshot digital:** running the portfolio's operations day-to-day. AI-native publishing across [Luxe Digital](https://luxe.digital/), [Luxe Digital Privileges](https://privileges.com/), [Worthbury](https://worthbury.com/), and [Luxa Terra](https://luxaterra.com/). Most of my week goes in fine-tuning our AI workflows.
- **Stealth experiments:** aside from our media portfolio, I'm also working on an e-Commerce brand in the home interior space, an online branding platform for brands and professionals, and an online news project. None of these projects are ready for the limelight yet, but I'll announce them here when they are.
- **This site:** [simonbeauloye.com](/) is a live lab for agent-readable publishing and experimentation. [JSON-LD citation graphs](/writing/ai-publishing/), [llms.txt surfaces](/llms.txt), [an iPhone-to-S3 pipeline](/stream/) for the micro-feed.

## Thinking about

- How the publishing org chart changes when [AI agents become the primary reader](/writing/ai-publishing/ai-publishing-bottleneck-shift/).
- Whether a small multi-brand group is structurally advantaged for this shift against large legacy media groups.

If you want to chat about any of this, [email is best](/contact/) and I do read everything.
