Love this, I’m playing around with the cheapo esp32+servos version of this, super fun.
Something I’m working on is a hardware CLI for agents to run experiments, with a “CICD” pipeline that validates everything and means I can delegate more of the experiments to the agents. I wonder if you have any thoughts on this?
The idea is to allow the coding agent to run the full loop of experiments and validations, with vision, audio, button pressing, speaking etc to interact in place of the human
Great! I feel well positioned to say this is great :) I’ve been hoping for something like this.
My ideal: slower, more real time, full maps based on actual locations, replay specific naval battles. Multiplayer (maybe it is?), realistic fog of war. I could go on
Edit: a few more. Sail trim is clunky and seems unresponsive or unclear how it maps to physics. Would be better to have trim on one side and steering on the other. Also to turn off tacking with tap. Steering too sensitive. The battles are great. (All on mobile)
What is the best way to give coding agent a full website so that it can see what I see? With animation and design I’m never sure what it gets when I save the website in the browser. Maybe this is suitable?
> but customers kept pulling us toward their data analysis problems
I hear this all the time, I still don’t think it’s a good justification to build a BI tool, but I hope this time it is different.
Product looks cool! I’m hopeful that agents do actually unlock business analytics and we can move on from the BI concept
Edit: a rough explanation of why you get pulled towards data problems is that they are intractable symptoms of upstream process issues. Customer sees a capable startup and co-opts them into trying to solve their tarpit problems. Happens all the time!
Experienced the same nightmare a few times over with citations.
React/next is limiting, we have rebuilt this for angular and now redid it again using lit for better compatibility. Our old one is very similar to this.
Loading citations for each field across 1000s of pages, colliding citations for all the messy formats, zoom, rotate etc. what a mess!
Great that you took the time to MIT this as it would have saved us many hours, though I think today Fable + Codex makes it pretty quick
I could recreate these in lit as a fork, would be very useful to have the full set
I often laugh (cry) at the Kindle Product Manager team who ship nothing but DRM updates.
How about a dictionary modal where the font is the same size as the page text..? Hard to imagine what they do all day, given they do seem to force updates but nothing seems to improve
I think, without much doubt, that AI will be most positively impactful on small business owners.
My experience running a few LTDs is that there is a gap between the accountants and what you need, and running an SME business means you are too busy not to do stupid things and the net effect is lost productivity, less entrepreneurial activity and less growth overall. Dealing with VAT, PAYE, and a million other stupid small things prevents most people from succeeding at running an effective business.
Claude and OpenAI have been surveyed to be most impactful to SMEs, and I think it’s only going to accelerate.
Hopefully this is hugely positive, I see risks, but I don’t see real societal downsides if people get AI to make their basic business operations better, cheaper and most importantly simpler and easier.
You can feel what is possible using Gemini speech to speech model, it can do tool calls and is very fast. It lacks somewhat in thinking capability but you can setup a tool call to a smarter model and it acts as a relay. I’ve been very impressed.
What is the best way for someone without a licence to get this working as quickly as possible? I have used CAD before but would like to have Claude code do it all locally from CLI
How do you anticipate teams deploying this? I’m wary of GitHub for sensitive business documents, and wonder what an easy secure agent friendly deployment looks like. Cloudflare or GCP are maybe good candidates

Is this for TTS? Have been looking for something to do a local fine tune to get a specific accent
I like it. I feel like this is a possible evolution of the browser.
Going further, AI internet browser could be an entirely new app to break from the legacy.
I feel this with coding agents, so often where it fetches web data and interprets it, html in that loop is only occasionally additive. Feels quite futuristic
