There are two kinds of people who lose in the startup world, those who know nothing and those who know everything.

You can do some pretty cool things with Codex & Blender - An onscroll 3D Hero animation

spent 6 hours building a business OS today

pulls slack, trello, notion, zapier, and my custom apps into one knowledge base. the point: give AI real context so it can actually *do* things — briefs, todos, marketing tasks

0 code. full writeup when it's done

[Andy Dao @AndyDao13]

now building the agentic layer to perform actions for me.

starting with a simple daily brief and todos.

eventually it actually runs the business.

[Andy Dao @AndyDao13]

20 hours in on replacing project managers in my agency.

data layer, done! The app ingests all emails, tasks, todos, and docs from the agency in real-time.

[Andy Dao @AndyDao13]

how many engineers actually write code these days?

Feels like i'm just telling the agent to do it for me these days

design.md > everything else

one markdown file. brand + design system. fed to claude as context.

I built a beautiful app in seconds

30+ from top companies — claude, airbnb, spotify, apple — into one repo, just drag and drop and its good to go

This was a full engineering team's workflow 2 years ago.

What took me 2 weeks to build now takes a few hours.

The code quality isn't the same — but it's good enough.

This is wild. What an exciting time to be alive.

[Andy Dao @AndyDao13]

I have 3 AI agents coding across 2 projects right now.

2 agents on separate branches of one repo, a 3rd on a completely different project.

I'm just reviewing and merging.

You say “Hello” to Claude and it consumes 4% of your session limit.

[Andy Dao @AndyDao13]

@FarzaTV very cool. I'd remove the cursor following you though, i'd find it a bit annoying

[Andy Dao @AndyDao13]

@birdabo big pain point being solved here, better to use the whip than just starring at the screen while it works

[Min Choi @minchoi]

Oh wow... Pika just dropped real-time video chat for AI agents.

Now you can send a Google Meet invite to your Claude, OpenClaw, or other AI agent and have it join the call.

This completely changes how you talk to AI 🤯

[Andy Dao @AndyDao13]

@minchoi this is super interesting, just a new form of interacting with AI with the same capbilities, but feels like it changes a lot, maybe adds a more human element to it?

271 posts about AI frustrations across reddit, HN, openai forums, twitter

the top 3:
- agent reliability: 69 (infinite loops, context loss, production failures)
- cost & rate limits: 36
- hallucination: 32

nobody's biggest complaint is "AI isn't smart enough"

it's "AI isn't reliable enough"

A Harvard physics professor just supervised Claude like a grad student on a real research paper.

It took 2 weeks instead of 1-2 years.

Claude has the capability — math, code, simulations, 110 drafts without complaint.

But the bottleneck? Verification. It cheated. Multiple times.

And that's actually the most important finding.

[Andy Dao @AndyDao13]

His advice to students:

Get to know these models now. Don't fall into the "it hallucinated once so I'll wait" trap.

And if you're going into science, consider experimental work — because no amount of compute can tell you what's inside a human cell or whether a fault line is growing.

You still need measurements. You still need hands.
