Snapchat has nearly 1 billion MAUs, and Evan and his team invented some of the most important consumer products and features, including Stories, AR glasses, swipe-based navigation, the camera as the primary UX, and a lot more.\n\n*In our in-depth conversation, we discuss:*\n1. Why distribution is now the biggest challenge for creating a consumer technology business\n2. How Snap innovates at scale with a 9-to-12-person design team: no titles, no hierarchy, hundreds of ideas reviewed weekly with the CEO\n3. Why a pure software business is no longer a moat, and what actually creates durable competitive advantages today\n4. How AI is changing the way designers work and why they\u2019re now shipping code\n5. Why every major Snap feature was copied and how that forced the company to work differently\n6. Evan\u2019s prediction that humanity\u2019s comfort with AI will be a bigger bottleneck than the technology itself\n7.
