Building autonomous AI agents for marketing | ex- @microsoft, @endeavor_global

[Mara Ilie @MarrComSt]

are we still in charge of our own brains?
or are we just getting really good at accepting AI’s answers?

as someone with ADHD, my brain already feels fried, like it has 47 tabs open by default

so yes
part of me LOVES the idea of AI just taking over

write the email
tell me what to prioritize
MAKE THE DECISION

just take it off my brain..

the constant dopamine hit of “progress” is addictive
and AI gives you that fast
really fast

we’ve always offloaded thinking
- shopping lists, calculators, google maps -
but we were still in control

with AI is different
you ask important questions and it gives you a full, confident answer

and suddenly, the thinking has already been DONE on your behalf

all that’s left is whether you accept it or challenge it
(that’s cognitive surrender)

cognitive offloading is when a tool helps you think
cognitive surrender is when it starts thinking FOR YOU…
and you don’t even notice when you stopped

🌞This is big Local AI news! A new open-source Computer-Use LLM has just launched.

Holo 3.1 is H Company’s (🇫🇷) new local computer-use agent model that beats Qwen3.5-397B, Kimi-K2.5, and Sonnet 4.6!

Since it is built for local deployment →
��� Runs fully on your machine (MacBook, Windows PC, DGX Spark, RTX Spark)
⬩ Based on Qwen architecture, specialized for GUI understanding & computer control
⬩ Optimized checkpoints: NVFP4, FP8 & Q4 GGUF (0.8B to 35B sizes)
⬩ Strong gains: 79.3% on AndroidWorld benchmark (35B model)

💻 Comparison to Qwen3.5:
Holo 3.1 is fine-tuned specifically for computer-use agents (screen understanding, planning, clicking, navigation). Better at real GUI tasks than general-purpose Qwen3.5, especially when running locally.⚡

@paulund @opencode wasn t that Xiaomi Mimo?

[Mara Ilie @MarrComSt]

@iam_mian7 100% agree

[Mara Ilie @MarrComSt]

it's wild how easy it is to generate hype with a demo video compared to actually building a functional product

AI telenovela continues, today’s episode:

Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.

@stitchbygoogle what are u cooking? 👀👀

[Mara Ilie @MarrComSt]

@ClaudeDevs: “weekly limits are 50% higher through July 13th 🎉 oh and btw… starting June 15, paid plans will have a dedicated monthly credit for programmatic usage (so you’ll pay separately for that)”

@sama : “Cool. Here’s 2 months of free Codex if you switch over”

the devs are eating good this month

not gonna lie, this is very fun to watch. popcorn anyone? 🍿

[Mara Ilie @MarrComSt]

I like the idea, but the product shown in the video doesn’t seem to match where the product actually is right now

The video is well-made, but I think the same level of attention should be put into improving the website and platform. I couldn’t find a feedback form or a way to delete my account

[Mara Ilie @MarrComSt]

1/ @Google just dropped design.md as open source 🔥 it's a simple markdown file from @stitchbygoogle where you put your whole design system

2/ export/import design rules (colors, typography, spacing, accessibility) across projects & tools. No more reinventing the wheel or AI guessing your brand vibe.

3/ ai agents can actually read why a color exists, check accessibility, and spit out uis that match your vibe. human readable but machines love it too

4/ super promising for designers and devs.

go try it in stitch and check the github (apache 2.0)

@q_huy_ngo @mobbin I doubt they offer Figma files, where did you read that?

🚨 @mobbin MCP is finally LIVE 📷

Your AI coding tools (Claude, Cursor, etc.) can now tap directly into 600k+ real app screens for perfect UI/UX references. The AI design game just leveled up.

2/4
What changes:
• Ask for “checkout like Stripe” or “onboarding like Linear” → get real, tagged patterns instantly
• Way less hallucination
• Faster, cleaner builds
This is the missing piece for AI-powered product development.

3/4
Tested it: Told Claude to build a subscription flow - it pulled actual patterns from top apps instead of making stuff up. Output was noticeably better.

4/4
Go enable the MCP server in Mobbin and connect it to your AI tool.

Who’s trying it today? Drop your first results 📷
