Could TikTok Be the Dark Horse in the Search War Between ChatGPT and Google?

ChatGPT has been cited as a potential ‘Google-killer’ due to its ability to serve some of the jobs that many people previously looked to the world’s biggest search engine for. ChatGPT excels in providing contextual, sophisticated answers and outputs in a conversational form. Indeed, it is gradually extending to other forms, including tables and pdfs. […]

Last month, Italy became the first company to restrict national access to ChatGPT.

These are partly a result of the novel and in some cases unknown nature […]

AI Technology: The Stuff Dreams are Made Of

The fact that none of these women are real scares some people. I admit, as with all technology, there is potential for the ability to create any image your mind can think of to be abused. However, I am excited by the creative potential of this technology. As someone who has never had the time […]

Lab

I build software. Three projects are currently in development — each one an experiment in giving AI the right job.

In the Workshop

The one for entrepreneurs

Not a chatbot. Not a dashboard. Something else entirely.

In the Workshop

The one for fiction writers

Built by a writer. For writers. AI that knows when to shut up.

In the Workshop

The one for everyone who thinks in products

You don't need the title to think in products.

Ship's Log — I write about building these products every week. Code, revenue, mistakes, all of it.

Read the build diary

All three are in stealth. Subscribers hear first.

I help organizations think clearly about AI.

Drawing on experience in big tech product management, government, and law, I work with leadership teams navigating AI strategy and governance.

Strategy

Where to invest, what to build, and how to think about AI in your context.

Product & UX

Designing AI-native products that humans actually want to use.

Governance

Policy, risk, and responsible deployment from an institutional view.

Workshops

Hands-on enablement to help your team build, not just talk.

Learn

I teach people to build with AI, understand AI, and make decisions about AI — one on one, shaped entirely around you.

No fixed syllabus. No cohort. Just focused, practical sessions built around your context — whether you're a founder shipping your first product, an executive navigating strategy, or a policymaker writing regulation.

Build Your First AI Product

For non-engineers who want to ship real software

Go from idea to working product using agentic coding tools. I'll teach you the product thinking and AI workflow — you'll leave with something deployed.

1:1 1–4 sessions

AI for Decision Makers

For leaders who need to understand AI deeply enough to act

Cut through the noise. Understand what AI can and can't do in your context, make informed decisions about budget, risk, and strategy.

1:1 1–6 sessions

AI Governance & Policy

For policymakers and compliance leads navigating regulation

Understand the EU AI Act, responsible deployment, and how to build governance frameworks that enable innovation rather than block it.

Esther Kuforiji

Hi, I'm Esther.

I'm a product manager turned AI builder and writer. Before that, I practiced law and worked in the civil service. I've spent my career at the intersection of technology, institutions, and people.

The essays are how I think. The fiction is how I feel. The products are how I test whether any of it is true. I believe the conversation about AI needs more voices shaped by law, philosophy, faith, and lived experience inside institutions that move slowly.

I also believe we're entering an era where anyone can make software — and that's a story worth both reporting on and writing science fiction about.
