In this presentation from the 2024 Pacific Virtual User Group, Typefi VP Product + New Markets, Caleb Clauset, shares some insight into the direction of Typefi as a company and the areas we’re focusing on for product development.
First, Caleb gives a brief overview of the current Typefi product stack, including our automated publishing engines, Typefitter and AutoFit plug-ins for InDesign, connector for AEM Guides, and RunScript online PDF generator. He also explains some of the underlying technologies and the rationale behind them.
Next, Caleb talks about Typefi’s goals and vision for its products and dives into three major themes we’re exploring for future product development: Cloud 3.0, Collaboration, and Generative AI.
Cloud 3.0 involves multiple upgrades to Typefi Cloud including single sign-on across all our apps, a switch to Java 21 and Tomcat 10.1, cloud-native automated publishing with Project Marcoola, and scalable Typefi Engine availability to meet peak demand.
Collaboration builds on much of the Cloud 3.0 and Marcoola enhancements with content tracking and management, and a new initiative called Project Skywriter. With Project Skywriter, we’re looking to bring the capabilities of Typefi Writer to the cloud with a platform that offers similar structured markup tools in a web-based interface.
Finally, Caleb addresses the elephant in the room: Generative AI. We have some big plans around this including new initiatives known as Project Hemingway, Project Maestro, and Project Titian—check out the presentation for more details!
