About
Drew Rowny was head of product at Patreon, and before that he worked at YouTube. He joined OpenAI in September 2026 alongside Patreon co-founder Sam Yam, and works on dots, OpenAI's always-on AI agent. On Hobby Explorer he explains why helping creators with AI is not the same as making content with AI, and how to teach a dot the way you work without a perfect prompt.
