The Den Family Social⁠(opens in a new window) is a Denver-based social club that brings together hospitality, community, work, and play to give parents a place where they can feel like themselves and their children are welcome too. The business grew from founder Chandler Lipe’s own transition into parenthood and her belief that parents deserve elevated, inspiring spaces built with their wellbeing in mind. As The Den began construction and pre-opening for a second location, Chandler turned to ChatGPT Work to help manage the increasing administrative load. Her small team now saves 10-15 hours a week and prepares licensing and grant applications in hours instead of days, giving them more capacity to grow while staying focused on the families they serve. “ChatGPT Work allows us to build the company we need before we have the size or resources of that company.”—Chandler Lipe, Founder and CEO, The DenTurning scattered information into an action planTo open their second location, The Den’s team had to operationalize their knowledge and context from the first.

You've heard of the drill that will pierce the heavens, so introducing: the drill that is attached to an entire city that will pierce the earth. That's the concept for CitaDrill, a roguelite city-builder where the city is encased in a big ole dome, a larger than life drill attached to its base that you dig through an infested planet. It's a lot, of course, but it's got some lush pixel art and a demo you can try out for yourself as part of this Steam Next Fest, too. When you start things off, all you have is your humble drill, and a need to dig downwards. As you do so, drilling up different kinds of blocks nets you a range of resources, all dependent on the colour of the blocks you've crushed up. In typical city building fashion you use these to build up your domed city, with different fixtures providing various bonuses. Perhaps you add in a pressure valve to reduce a pressure buildup status, or you put up some power lines to get certain buildings and modules working. You may even decide to, uh, print a worker to get some jobs done.

For scientists studying the ocean, finding the right data can sometimes be as challenging as figuring out what to do with it. Want to know seafloor depth, the location of underwater mountains or sea surface temperatures? The information exists, but it can take considerable time and computer coding to pull it together from different sources and get it into the proper format.

Scientists have long been interested in cellular nanodiscs, tiny particles made from natural cell membranes that mimic many of the functions of living cells. While previous studies demonstrated the therapeutic potential of nanodiscs for drug delivery, detoxification and vaccines, one fundamental question remained unanswered: How does size influence how well they work?
