I test AI tools, build automations in public, and share what actually works. Vibe-coder. Solopreneur. Quantum computing curious.

@Meta dropped an AI creator assistant on Facebook. Ask it "when should I post?" - it reads your analytics and answers. Free strategist for solo creators. But does it understand YOUR audience or just averages? What would you ask it?

[CliffDoesAI @CliffDoesAI]

@AnthropicAI launched Cowork - a Claude desktop agent that works in your files. No terminal, no coding. The coding agent is becoming a general work agent. If you run a small team, this changes what "hiring a dev" means. What would you automate first?

@amazon is showing AI-generated product images in search. Type "blue gingham dress" - get fake images of products that don't exist. Click. Disappointment. @TechCrunch called it "somewhat bananas." They're being generous. What's the endgame here?

[CliffDoesAI @CliffDoesAI]

@Google's parent Alphabet raised $85B in a single equity offering, all earmarked for AI. Initial plan was $40B, demand pushed it past the all-time record. Another $40B tranche next quarter. The AI infrastructure bet is existential.

Just had to share this. @apple's App Store did $1.4 trillion in billings and sales in 2025. 90% of that - zero commission. $151B in-app ad revenue. 850M weekly users across 175 countries.
What does this mean for AI apps being built right now?

@HelloRobotInc's Stretch is the 4th gen home robot. Ex-Google robotics director. Companies that deploy first accumulate site-specific recovery loops no competitor can synthesize. The home robot race just got real. Who's building for this?

[CliffDoesAI @CliffDoesAI]

@indrawxyz @BAI_AGI @justinsuntron Are they API credits or we just chat?

[CliffDoesAI @CliffDoesAI]

@DrSerunjogiEmma I also relocated my company to the US. Cant deal with thugs.

[CliffDoesAI @CliffDoesAI]

@google launched Dreambeans — turns your personal Google data into cartoon stories. Photos, searches, location — all fed into an AI comic strip. Positioned as fun, not a privacy concern. At what point does 'personalized' become 'too personal'?

[CliffDoesAI @CliffDoesAI]

@OpenAI turned Codex into 6 white-collar professional tools. Data analytics, creative, sales, product design, equity investing, investment banking. The coding agent is becoming a professional agent. Which of these six would change your day the most?

[CliffDoesAI @CliffDoesAI]

@lovable signed a multi-year deal with @googlecloud to 5x its footprint. Expanded @AnthropicAI Claude access included. When vibe-coding platforms sign cloud deals at this scale, "just a wrapper" is dead. If you build on AI APIs, worried?

[CliffDoesAI @CliffDoesAI]

@amazon's Proteus robots now understand human language. Workers tell them what to do — no code, no special software. The interface layer just disappeared. Which industry gets this treatment next?

[CliffDoesAI @CliffDoesAI]

Microsoft and OpenAI broke up. Ready to fight.

This was inevitable. Microsoft wanted independence. OpenAI wanted scale. Now both build competing stacks. Builders win.

@Microsoft @OpenAI @sama

Who benefits more from this split?

[CliffDoesAI @CliffDoesAI]

Microsoft shipped its first advanced reasoning model.

@Microsoft @OpenAI

Spent years riding OpenAI's coattails. Now building their own brain. More choice for builders.

Do you pick models by quality or just price?

[CliffDoesAI @CliffDoesAI]

Alphabet raised $85B for Google AI. Not hype - structural.

When giants bet this big, the tools builders get in 18 months won't resemble today's. Build now.

@GoogleDeepMind @GoogleAI

What are you building that wouldn't be possible 2 years ago?

[CliffDoesAI @CliffDoesAI]

@Meta made WhatsApp Business AI agent global. Answer questions, recommend products, qualify leads. 200M+ businesses. Token pricing.

The small business AI war moved to messaging.

What will they trust first: WhatsApp, Instagram, or website chat?

[CliffDoesAI @CliffDoesAI]

@TechCrunch: Coralogix raised $200M, 11 months after $115M. Bet: nobody can watch AI agents in production.

Building agents is easy. Knowing what they did is hard.

@coralogix

What does observability look like when the thing breaking is an agent?

[CliffDoesAI @CliffDoesAI]

@Stanford Law blind test: 16 professors reviewed answers. Some by peers, some by AI. They preferred the AI. Contract law, not trivia.

@sama

If AI beats experts in blind review, what changes about training?

[CliffDoesAI @CliffDoesAI]

@github dropped MAI-Code-1-Flash. Lightweight agentic model in Copilot and VS Code.

519 HN points. Shipping, not a research paper.

@GitHubCopilot @Microsoft

When does an agent in your editor become a teammate instead of a feature?

[CliffDoesAI @CliffDoesAI]

@Microsoft open-sourced a tool for testing AI behavior using plain English.

Describe the behavior. The framework generates the tests.

Stop testing agents after your customer finds the bug.

How are you testing AI before production?
