Summary
Circle just dropped their biggest product launch of the year, and I have thoughts. In this episode, I'm breaking down Circle's Eclipse launch, what the new features actually mean for community builders and admins, and where I think you should pump the brakes. I'm genuinely excited about what Circle AI could do to speed up execution and free up creative bandwidth — but I also want to be real with you about the risk of outsourcing your strategy to AI. The value in your community comes from understanding your people, and no tool changes that. I'm also sharing my takes on Circle Discover, Circle Studios, updated Courses, and the new Inbox feature.
