"you're not really drowning in PRs... you're drowning in bad PRs"
@dexhorthy came on Agents Hour to talk about AI slop and ended up drawing the whole software factory on a whiteboard
also learn why the models produce slop by default
Overheard on a call today:
"frankly I was with my Python hat on looking at other frameworks that I was more familiar with, but also kind of realizing that I had a room full of full stack TypeScript developers and for all of the reasons that we would never use Python in production at [FAANG company], using Python was probably not a good idea for this either"
Excited to announce we just released a @mastra "course"
But it's unlike any course you have taken before. Take the course right from your IDE and it walks you through writing the code.
Here is how it works...
Want to learn how to build voice agents? (with @zammitjames and @dan_gauci from Roark)
- The 3 critical components of voice agents
- The future is speech-to-speech technology that combines all 3 layers into one
- OpenAI's realtime API and Gemini are early players, but production adoption is still limited
- Join our Voice Agents Workshop TOMORROW (April 17th) to learn how to build, monitor, and test a voice agent
Wondering why your timeline is suddenly flooded with AI-generated visuals? Here's what just happened with GPT-4o.
- OpenAI's GPT-4o image generation capabilities are creating a new visual style taking over social media
- The new model excels at consistent characters, incorporating text, and following specific prompts
- Even with modest design and editing skills, these tools let you create professional content in under 2 hours
- This isn't about AI taking jobs - it's about AI users outperforming everyone else
- Developers: API access for these capabilities is coming soon
AI Won't Steal Your Job - It Will Liberate You From The Tasks You Already Hate (with @mamagnus00 from @browser_use)
- AI excels at taking over repetitive, boring tasks like form filling and testing
- The real power is in parallel processing - humans can only be in one browser tab, AI can be in millions
- Historical perspective: 200 years ago, 75% of people were farmers, now it's 2%
- The jobs that will remain secure are those involving human connection and status
- Even in a world where AI plays better chess, people still pay to watch Magnus Carlsen
Mastra (@mastra) is the open-source JavaScript framework for building agents. Companies use Mastra to automate support, build CAD diagrams, scrape the web, do medical transcription, and more.

Congrats on the launch @calcsam, @smthomas3 and @abhiaiyer!
You might be reading this tweet but humans don’t just communicate via text - we talk, too!
Introducing mastra voice: give your agents the ability to have real-time voice conversations with users.
Check out this demo @YujohnNatt made.
Don't bet against JavaScript in AI. Think you need Python to build AI?
- 25-33% of current YC batch building AI apps are using JavaScript/TypeScript
- Prediction: Nearly 50% of the next YC batch will be JavaScript/TypeScript-based
- Python dominated early because of ML community foundations
- As fewer developers need to train models and more just use APIs, JavaScript devs have the advantage
- JavaScript/TypeScript developers excel at what matters most now: API interactions
- The ecosystem of JS tools for AI is expanding rapidly
- You can build sophisticated AI applications and agents without touching Python
Do you want to build and deploy your first AI Agent? I'm hosting a one hour virtual workshop on February 13th at 9:00 AM PT. Anyone with some basic coding skills can attend and get their first agent live!

Did you know Ernest Hemingway won a bet with a six word story?
For sale: baby shoes, never worn.
Turns out you don't need a lot of words to convey a lot of meaning.
What would your 6-word story be?
The 6-word story for Audiofeed might be:
"You write, they hear and see"
For a limited time, we are giving away access to all our video features (this video only took a few minutes to make with Audiofeed). So, if you’re a storyteller and want to get more out of your existing written content, sign up for Audiofeed today.
Here are some things we believe:
1. Written content is one of the best ways to tell a story.
2. Not everyone has the time to read everything they want to.
3. The best storytellers are the human ones.
4. Audio and video don’t need to be complicated or time-consuming.
