@lukeburgis NotebookLM or Gamma. But now it’s easier to just have the model write html or do image gen -> html

[Leon Builds Agents @leonjcoe]

It’s completely possible (and probable) the killer ai interface/use case/workflow has not been invented yet

[Leon Builds Agents @leonjcoe]

@LMSacasas There’s no such thing

[Leon Builds Agents @leonjcoe]

Gap between OpenAI and Anthropic is not priced in and much bigger than people realize

@curious_vii So like a tool the agent can call to ask back? Like askUserQuestion tool but while it’s working in a side chat to gain clarity/context?

[Leon Builds Agents @leonjcoe]

@curious_vii Do you think wiring the transcript up to a fast model like composer or 5.5 fast could do a reasonable job on the fly or does it need more steering?

[Leon Builds Agents @leonjcoe]

either being good at pointing the ai at particular problems is valuable or it isn't

hint: it always will be

[Leon Builds Agents @leonjcoe]

when evaluating new products i start thinking in tokens

if every $20/mo subscription represents somewhere between 100m and a billion tokens, and the off the shelf software isnt getting the job done, then yea people are going to start building their own internal solutions

[Leon Builds Agents @leonjcoe]

core primitives for quality ai work today:

-STT (inline & calls)
-AI questioning you
-managing & mining context
-clear success criteria
-evals & continuous iteration
-applying compute

[Leon Builds Agents @leonjcoe]

@curious_vii Yes

[Leon Builds Agents @leonjcoe]

i think we may find in hindsight that the death of saas (due to ai) is overblown, and that the tam of software today is very small

[Leon Builds Agents @leonjcoe]

It’s clear long running agent tasks are the new meta

What’s unclear is who has the $/trust/belief to actually do the work

[Leon Builds Agents @leonjcoe]

@TaylorPearsonMe “it's just a bad catch all that is going to clog up context and get lost”

If you’re good at steering models then that’s basically what happens imo

[Leon Builds Agents @leonjcoe]

what the new openai image model unlocked was making html the new markdown for vision assets

@SteveWiesnerSMB skills are more for guidance & custom instructions and MCP is built for pulling in context (data) from external application

skills have the added benefit of only being fully called when needed

[Leon Builds Agents @leonjcoe]

@StewartalsopIII Have you considered building on top of pi as your harness and building custom extensions for you personally off that?

[Leon Builds Agents @leonjcoe]

@curious_vii Maybe phrased differently:

It was easier to codify knowledge into techne.

Bc techne was high leverage (and still is) and the knowledge of how to turn something into techne was expensive and scarce
