What I Shipped This Week
Three decision-agent products each shipped a major release (MBA v0.6 / Boss v1.18 / OAF v0.43), and the personal site stood up its core narrative — "designed for AI-native organizations."
Three products, three major releases in one week
🎯 MBA · A brand-influence audit for CMOs (mbabrand.com) — v0.6
- Grew from “brand monitoring” into a “relationship universe”: brand + founder + industry + portfolio. In one week it took in NVIDIA / Apple / Google / Microsoft / Amazon / Huawei / DeepSeek / Tesla / Palantir (each with a full audit report + founder dossier).
- Founder Dinner: seat two founders at one table and play out a collaboration through 5 lenses (e.g. Liang Wenfeng × Jensen Huang, “chips and models”; an AI-generated scenario, not a real partnership).
- Sentiment monitoring turned into a fully automated loop: discover candidate events daily → LLM pre-classification → one-click adoption into the store → trigger a brand re-audit.
- Companion pieces: a full-dimension knowledge star map, a sentiment cockpit, and tiered Feishu alerts.
🧭 Boss · A decision agent for CEOs → a strategy OS (bossagent.cc) — v1.18
- Upgraded from “reviewing one topic” into a “strategy OS”: instead of just scoring a single judgment, it strings judgments into an organizational loop — decision capture → action ledger → due-date follow-up (T+7 / T+30) → retrospective. For the first time, judgment becomes an asset that accumulates and can be reviewed.
- The judge system opened up: a public “Judges Panorama” page where each judge’s doctrine can be inspected; a dedicated strategy-OS methodology page went live.
- Public case library: topics submitted by visitors and their judgment reports are kept public for a period, for later readers to browse.
📊 OAF · An AI research workbench for CFOs (oaf.world) — v0.43 (about 14 releases in a week)
- The dashboard went from read-only to an “explorable cockpit”: global slicing, cross-panel linkage, drill-down, deep links, ⌘K search, custom watchlists, and comparison mode.
- Conversational research got real: ask anything casually, and the LLM only does intent routing — data retrieval is handed to deterministic tools, so it never fabricates a number.
- Satellite-internet topic cluster: four deep dashboards for SpaceX / GalaxySpace·Qianfan / China SatNet / the constellation race, plus real-time alerts on industry moves.
- A live homepage: connected to a real-time backend + live candlestick quotes (US stocks / A-shares / satellite internet, with “since IPO” long series).
One through-line: designed for AI-native organizations
The three products serve different functions (CMO / CEO / CFO), but underneath they share one skeleton: multiple judges deliberating independently → scorable and falsifiable → versioned + attribution-checked → anti-fabrication. As an organization hands more and more execution to agents, top-level judgment should also grow on the same traceable foundation, rather than continuing to run on “gut feel.”
MBA automates brand judgment, Boss distills decisions into an organizational loop, and OAF makes research judgment real-time — three seats, one skeleton.
Along the way: articulating this through-line (zhanglu.net)
- Launched a new C-suite feature (including the logo “three arcs and a dot, one seal,” a brand page, and a long essay on the design philosophy), putting the shared philosophy of the trio side by side.
- Gave each project a website screenshot + source line count + target audience annotation; also dug up past work from 20-plus years ago — a few Chinese personal websites made in 1999–2007, rebuilt as static sites and preserved for good.
This week in one line: the products keep making “judgment” more automated and more traceable; and for the first time I put “why I’m building these three” into a single sentence.
