Building things. Working @raycast.

I've been sitting on this article for way too long already (started 2 years ago!), so here it is: https://t.co/sf53t5c0OU

@cnakazawa @aantonov_ thought a lot of macOS icons!

@peduarte @levelsio gotta do what you gotta do for the $ you get from shitposting on X

I don’t know if I’ve ever posted my aperiodic monotile tablecloth but it’s such a good and geeky conversation topic/ice breaker
Highly recommended!

@mazeincoding @raycast There are already a bunch of extensions available, you can find them in the Store command.

You can create your own. Anything you're missing?

@swyx @aiDotEngineer I did a hackathon where we jumped on the Eurostar (train between the UK and France) and we had 2 5h hacking session (the round trip from London to Lyon). But it was before LLMs really existed and the wifi was pretty bad - interesting experience!

@pomdtrr Yes, it’s pretty good at it

[Mathieu Dutour @MathieuDutour]

This was a fun project!

When we set out to integrate the Raycast extension ecosystem with AI, we knew that the extensions Commands weren't the right abstraction for AI to interact with.

We needed a lower-level building block: Tools. Tools are really just functions

[Raycast @raycast]

Introducing: AI Extensions (Beta)
A new way to interact with your extensions in Raycast.

[Mathieu Dutour @MathieuDutour]

@pomdtrr You can yes - but it's not used by the AI (yet)

[Mathieu Dutour @MathieuDutour]

Commands can be build on top of them and provide a nice bespoke UI, while the AI can interact with them in natural language.

Any behind-the-scene things you'd like to know?

[Mathieu Dutour @MathieuDutour]

And because Tools are just a function, you can import them in the extension Commands directly to use them there. Tools becomes this lower-level building blocks that contain your business logic.

You might recognise the concept of @untitledmapapp but they shut down and didn’t open source anything 😢

[Mathieu Dutour @MathieuDutour]

Claude and I made an app that only shows you where you’ve already been. It’s quite interesting, already made me look for paths to reveal parts of the map

It’s called FOWIRL - Fog Of War In Real Life 😂
