Scene One: Coffee, Chaos, and a Curious Machine
It’s Monday morning at a small but mighty marketing firm in Austin, Texas. Claire, the team’s project manager, is elbow-deep in post-weekend chaos. A client changed their deadline (again), a designer forgot to send a file (again), and someone spilled cold brew on the team’s whiteboard (yes, again).
