AI made work lonely.

We used to design & code together but now it feels faster to just prompt.

But why not prompt together?

Well, that’s a hard problem. Who’s prompt go first? What if they’re conflicting? How do you merge?

Agent 4 fixes this.

I had access to Gemini 3. It is a very good, very fast model. It also demonstrates the change from chatbot to agent. https://t.co/IXjmIyDPpB

random rant on where we are with ai agents:

[Aaron Levie @levie]

Seeing more and more product managers use AI for showing functional product prototypes.

It’s accelerating the ideation phase of a product by probably 5-10X. Partly this is because you can show off an idea much more quickly, which gets the conversation going more quickly.

But also there’s an unexpected benefit where the models will generally solve problems in your prototyping phase that you wouldn’t have come up with yourself, or you’d have to spend a ton of time thinking through that aren’t particularly useful.

So not only are you looking at your idea more quickly, which increases the feedback loop, but it’s already been enhanced by the expertise of a model trained on thousands of other examples of similar UX patterns or problems out there.

AI is definitely going to change product management forever.

[Ethan Mollick @emollick]

The fight over what a product manager does is going to among the first major AI organizational design problems faced by companies.

It is a job right at the center of what AI can do with first pass coding, marketing, design, ideation, etc. Who will own which pieces up for grabs.

[Tibor Blaho @btibor91]

According to The Information, OpenAI is developing AI that generates music and has been working with Juilliard School students to annotate music scores, based on reports from two people familiar with the project

The company has discussed building tools that let users generate music using text and audio prompts, like asking the AI to add guitar to a vocal track, and the tool could help people add music to videos, according to a third person involved in these discussions

OpenAI will likely need agreements with music labels to avoid lawsuits, since the Recording Industry Association of America, representing Universal Music Group, Sony and Warner Bros., has already sued competitors Suno and Udio for training their AI on copyrighted songs without permission or payment

Ever heard of a government implementing a nationwide project in under a month?

Enter Replit.

A Jordanian developer vibe coded and rolled out an AI tutor pilot to 100k students in under a month!

Proving successful, the Ministry of Education is rolling it out to all students!

Thanks to His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II, who empowered the National Council for Future Technology to move fast and transform the kingdom with AI, they've become the first government to embrace the power of Replit and vibe coding.

The potential to transform government services here is immense.
