Building systems at REXE
From experimenting with language models to directing AI-assisted work—with intent, bounded verification, and the experience of the finished product in view.
Drawn to the blank canvas
Oh uses the phrase “blank canvas” to describe the environments that interest him. He is drawn to work in which the roles and methods are still taking shape, leaving room to decide what to make and how to make it.
That interest eventually led to long, exploratory conversations with early language models. He tested their answers and tried to understand their limits, while considering how their capabilities might develop.
Direction, boundaries, and verification
The approach he is developing through REXE puts boundaries and checks around probabilistic output. His role is to set direction, coordinate AI-assisted work, review what comes back, and decide what can be verified.
This website became one example. AI handled implementation, and tests and browser checks assessed the result. Oh’s own judgment supplied another test: the first editorial layout felt crowded. It worked on screen, but gave the eye too many places to land.
The experience still matters
The experience of using a product remains central to his judgment. Fun drew him toward filmmaking and other open-ended work; it is also something he hopes to create for people using what he builds.
The software work is still early. His ambition is to carry an idea through the mechanics of implementation and into an experience worth having.
