My favorite use of an AI assistant. Spin off a ton of agents, then go about your day. Get a text when they have all settled. Love @inkbox_ai for easy iMessage integration.

I’ve stopped scrolling X and I just interact with posts @bot tells me about in a daily brief. Constantly trying to get it right and I hope to not miss important posts from y’all. People I follow are the people with whom I want to be connected.
The bot biases toward large accounts, but I’m trying to get it to surface smaller ones.

Link to @bot template: x.ai/bot/WmFSeUpqUmS9N_J4SmM…
I pair it with a persistent VM in the cloud to reduce token use (think stuff like watching to see if a webpage changes). The VM ‘wakes’ the bot if something triggers.
Could show my setup sometime if anyone is interested.

New Anthropic research: How AI agents shape experts' judgment calls
When experts delegate work to an agent, do they still make the key decisions? We tested this in a randomized trial with 50 professional data analysts.

Did anyone ever use Amazon Q? (arguably second worst product name ever)
Nova models were nice and cheap though. Too bad.

Time to pretend you're poor and don't do anything useful.
Dario Amodei: some tokens Claude produces are worth a few cents, others could be worth tens of millions of dollars.
His examples:
1. Telling someone to restart their Mac: the model has said it 10 million times, worth a dollar or less
2. Telling a pharma company to move an aromatic ring to the other end of a molecule: potentially tens of millions
3. Expect pay-for-results pricing, or labor-like pricing by the hour
4. It's a new industry, so many models will be tried
Today pricing is simpler: per the S-1, usage-based pricing was 80% of H1 2026 revenue and subscriptions 20%.

Finally something that’s not called Dot, Grok, or Bard.
Day 6 of Claude Duet! A few updates on access, and really appreciate everyone’s patience on the waitlist:
- We’re getting all Max users in the US off the waitlist first. Lots of invites went out yesterday and today, with more coming this week.
- Right after Max, we’ll start inviting Pro users in the US.
- For folks outside the US, we’re working hard on extending access and will share a date as soon as we have one.
If you’d like to try Claude Duet and help shape it, please join the waitlist. claude.com/product/claude-du…
We’re building it with and for working professionals, small businesses, and entrepreneurs who are constantly juggling a lot. Team is reading every piece of feedback and shipping daily. More soon on how we built Claude Duet, how people are using it, new features and improvements.

@OpenAIDevs added something cool. You can now hand off ANY chat to Dot. Really neat way to hand the reigns over to an agent to see the chat through.

Reminder that @bot now has a native iCal integration so you can revoke your app specific password if that is what you were using.

Update: the native calendar works great in chat, but it isn't available to scheduled routines yet, so automated "add this invite to my calendar" runs fail. Reported here: forum.cursor.com/t/grok-bot-…. If you rely on a routine for calendar writes, maybe hold off on revoking that password for now.

Thought about migrating from Github to @gitlab, but they don't offer monthly pricing!!! It's either $348 or nothing. Super obvious Gitlab only targets Enterprise.
Oh and there's no free trial either.

Great talk. I wish Resend all the best. I wrote a pre-AI blog post about all the pain I went through to get password reset emails working in my app.

Your job is to eat the pain.
@aarondfrancis taught us all that pain doesn't disappear. Someone eats the pain. The questions is "Who will eat it? You or your customer?"
Or as Aaron put it, "Be the sin eater."

It grosses me out when I hear the researchers talk to their AI. It feels like they have this thing tied up to a radiator in their basement.
I would much rather hear demos from random people they found on the street to talk to it.
We believe voice is the most natural way to interact with intelligence, so we created Dessa, the most authentic full-duplex speech model ever built. Talking with it feels like talking with a person…full of emotion, nuance, pauses, and a natural cadence.

Underrated dev flow. Send screenshots of your app to an image/video model and ask it to change it or add animations.
Then pass those screenshots & animations to the implementing agent to make it happen. Much easier than trying to describe the change and hoping for the best.
Image/video -> Implement this with code. Did this with my recipe app to add a "Made it" pill to the top right corner. I iterated with the ChatGPT image model before converging with an implementing agent who wrote code to make it happen.

This is what we get for turning on all the cool Cloudflare website optimizations like a bunch of nerds.
BREAKING: OpenAI says it found a critical flaw in Brotli, a widely used compression library built into software like Node.js, Bun and Envoy.
The bug could let an attacker take over a system just by sending it malicious compressed data, with no login needed. That works both ways: a hacker could hijack an unpatched server, or a malicious server could hijack an unpatched user’s device.
