I was talking to a VC fund recently about their investment process. Part of their due diligence is doing thorough and deep research about the market, competition, even the founders, for every startup pitch they receive. They use OpenAI’s Deep Research for the core research (Claude and Gemini have these features too) but there’s still…

I have been a heavy user of Claude Code since it came out (and recently Amp Code). As someone who builds agents for a living, I’ve always wondered what makes it so good. So I decided to try and reverse engineer it. It turns out building a coding agent is surprisingly straightforward once you understand…

Do you remember that Will Smith eating Spaghetti video that was generated by AI. The first one in 2023, despite its glitchiness, was fascinating to see. A simple text prompt resulting in something that could possibly be a video. Two years later we have Sora’s mesmerizing 60-second clips and Veo 3’s photorealistic sequences. We have…

There’s been a lot of talk about context engineering recently and at first glance it sounds like just another Silicon Valley buzzword. We had prompt engineering which sounded like a fancy way of telling an AI what it should do, and now context engineering which sounds like an even fancier way of saying prompt engineering.…

Ah yes, another Claude Code convert. Welcome. We have much to discuss. Claude Code is a CLI (Command Line Interface) that uses Anthropic’s latest models, Sonnet 4.5 and Opus 4.5, to generate code for you. You give it instructions in your terminal, and the built-in coding agent with its tools executes those commands. If you’ve…

There’s a research paper that’s been making the rounds recently, a study by MIT’s Media Lab, that talks about the cognitive cost of using LLMs (Large Language Models that power AI apps like ChatGPT). In the study, researchers asked 54 participants to write essays. They divided them into 3 groups – one that could use…

The best performing post on this blog is a 20,000 word tome on the Google Agent Development Kit. Granted, maybe half the words are code samples, but without AI this would have taken me weeks to write. With AI, it was just a few days. Great articles, the kind that get shared in Slack channels,…

The CEO of Zapier recently announced that they have more AI agents working for them than human employees. Now that sounds exciting and terrifying but the truth is most of the “agents” he listed out are really just simple automations (with some AI sprinkled in). He is, after all, promoting his own company, which he…

I was at Web Summit Vancouver last week, a tech conference where the only topic of every conversation was, surprise surprise, AI! As someone who has been in the space for years, well before the ChatGPT boom, I was excited to talk to my fellow nerds about the latest tools and tech. And I was…

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella recently declared that “we’ve entered the era of AI agents,” highlighting that AI models are now more capable and efficient thanks to groundbreaking advancements in reasoning and memory. Google recently announced a whole slew of new agentic tools in their recent I/O conference. Every major tech company is going all in…
