Adam Hale shared thisWell this came as a surprise, but I'm delighted to have been shortlisted for the Editorial Hero award at the Reach plc Celebrating Brilliant Journalism Awards 🏆 In news organisations, the insights teams are often not public facing. We don't write the headlines or break the stories, but are deeply committed to supporting those that do. It's an honour to be recognised for the work we do to empower our editorial teams with audience insights. Huge congratulations to all my fellow nominees. Looking forward to celebrating with everyone on awards night!

Adam Hale shared thisA few weeks ago I had the pleasure of being a guest on the Ready For Launch Podcast with Ian Black 🚀 We discussed my project, www.dryoutside.com, and its journey from initial idea to a live website within a single evening with the help of AI, ultimately gaining global attention. You can now listen to the podcast on the following platforms: Spotify: https://lnkd.in/echfnTi9 Apple Podcasts: https://lnkd.in/e9hFrvc9Adam Hale shared thisAdam Hale had a simple question: Can I dry my clothes outside today? He couldn't find an answer. So he used AI to build it himself in a single evening. Then it went global. What started as a personal problem became a product. And what started as a product became real human connection. Hear the full story on the Ready For Launch podcast. Link in comments. 👇

Adam Hale shared this🎙 Just wrapped a fantastic conversation with Ian Black 🚀 for the Ready For Launch podcast. We dive deep into the building of www.dryoutside.com using AI. The conversation took some fascinating turns, touching upon the spark that lead to the idea, building and launching within the space of 24 hours and finding human connection in the process, despite AI being detrimental to it. Can't wait for you to hear the full episode, coming soon!

Adam Hale shared thisIt’s been an incredible few weeks for www.DryOutside.com. What started as an experimental hobby project, designed to solve a very simple, everyday problem, has grown faster than I ever expected. In the last fortnight, the site has seen tens of thousands of visitors and featured in newsletters like Morning Brew. I also have a podcast appearance coming up soon to discuss the project (more on that soon!) I also want to say a huge thank you to the people who have bought me a coffee recently. It’s a gesture that means a lot. Today I’ve released a series of updates to move the site beyond a simple web app: Regional Hubs: Quick access for major cities. Dashboard Design: A refresh on the UI. Familiar, but superpowered. Fabric Customisation: Tailored results based on what you’re actually washing (from denim to silk). Drying Simulation: A tool to experiment with how wind and humidity impact evaporation. Contextual Tools: We now surface specific tool recommendations based on your local weather conditions. If you haven’t checked it out yet, you can see the updates at www.DryOutside.com. Thanks for the support.

Adam Hale shared thisWhat a wild 24 hours. I went from an idea in my head to a live, revenue-generating tool. Meet 🧺 www.DryOutside.com I was fed up with hanging laundry on "sunny" days, only for it to stay damp because the humidity was too high. I usually gave up and threw it in the dryer anyway—wasting money and energy. I looked for a simple way to check "real" drying conditions, but everything was too complicated. I just wanted an answer to one question: “Should I dry my clothes outside today?” So, I built it. Exclusively using Gemini. I was so impressed with the output that I bought the domain, set up hosting and shared it on Reddit, Bluesky, MoneySavingExpert and MumsNet. The result? The traffic is rolling in, the feedback is incredible, and I’ve already seen my first "Buy Me A Coffee" support from users. AI isn't just for chatting; it’s for building (and making some money!) 🚀

Adam Hale liked thisAdam Hale liked thisSo wonderful to celebrate the work of colleagues and teams at Reach plc at yesterday’s Celebrating Brilliant Journalism conference and awards in sunny Birmingham. I totally failed to take pictures - clearly I was too busy catching up with people and enjoying the event. Luckily though Lynda Moyo did snap this of me with one of my journo heroes Clive Myrie, who hosted the evening. Shout outs to all the speakers and hosts, nominees and winners and to the amazing organisers and behind-the-scenes team who made it all possible on the day 🙌

Adam Hale liked thisAdam Hale liked thisYour feed will be buzzing today if you are from Reach plc, or follow Reach people: yesterday we held our second annual Celebrating Brilliant Journalism conference and awards night. It was such a treat to be there: imagine getting to spend a sunny Thursday with some of the UK and Ireland’s most talented and inspiring journalists - with cake, pop and sunshine to boot. They came by planes, trains and automobiles… This was one of my two highlights of the day: the formidable Laurence Mozafari in conversation with the formidable Sophia Smith Galer, about vertical video strategy and Reach’s new (well, newish) Content Creator Network. My other conference highlight was Zak Garner-Purkiss, investigative supremo at the Daily Express, wowing the room with his whirlwind demo of the AI innovations plugged into his day-to-day work. Or rather, the highlight has been how it was received: I suspect we are set to see a surge in NotebookLM power users 😉
