Building a Hillclimbing Machine: Launching seven new MAI Models

The challenge:

A site-wide update had to land in time for Microsoft Build. New and expanded model pages, a restructured nav, eight technical blogs, and fresh content across the site, on a hard deadline and without dedicated design support for everything coming in.

What I did:

I owned the project end to end, from kickoff through launch, directing an external design agency and a development agency and aligning ten model PMs across six product categories.

Where I stepped in:

When the resourcing ran short, I filled the gaps myself. I designed and laid out all technical blogs in Figma, using a Gemini workflow to draft each in MAI’s style, then finishing by hand. I recorded the voiceover for the transcription model page when there was no time to hire an agency. And with model data landing last minute, I built a self-serve tool that let PMs enter their own numbers and export drop-ready JSON straight to dev, so the charts populated themselves.
