[Workshop AI @WorkshopAI]

Introducing Workshop: cloud + on-device agentic AI.

And to celebrate, we're giving away $250k in @GeminiApp AI credits. (details below).

The future of AI work is neither cloud-based nor local.

It's both.

In Workshop Cloud, you can use agents powered by frontier models like @claudeai and/or open source models like @Zai_org's GLM-5 to build internal tools, dashboards, and AI web apps. Or, breeze through tasks like managing your Google and Meta Ads.

In Workshop Desktop, you can do all the same right on your computer, plus make desktop apps, mobile apps, and 3D creations.

Our favorite part?

You can power the full agent experience with local models like Qwen 3.5 family on your computer. Fully offline.

2026 is the year in which local models for agentic tasks will become viable for mainstream use. But the setup for tools like OpenClaw is like setting up Linux from scratch on your computer.

Workshop Desktop is one-click to install on Windows, Mac, and Linux. It recommends which open source model you should use for your hardware and lets you download and run it right in the app. And its agent harness allows you to chat, create websites, build personal utilities, and analyze data. 100% offline. Or multitask with AI models in the cloud while running other agent threads locally.

Start in Workshop Cloud when you want flexibility and speed. Download your project and continue in Workshop Desktop when you want local files, privacy, and/or better performance on large code bases. Publish from either.

The agent tooling space is maturing and discerning users have come to expect a lot from their tools. We've packed Workshop with features to help you 10x your productivity.
- Native support for skills
- Autocompaction for seamless context management
- Built-in AI for your apps
- Dozens of connectors, like Google Drive, Big Query, and Supabase
- dbt integration to ground your dashboards in your semantic layer
- Native Github integration
- Private app deployment
- ... and more

(+ we're shipping super fast)

To access the free credit offer, RT this post and reply with "Workshop". Make sure you are following us so we can DM you the instructions to redeem.
- First 100 to RT + comment get $500 in credits.
- Everyone else gets up to $250

And thanks to our partners @modal, @GeminiApp, and @Zai_org!

@MattBruenig i don’t want some faceless government bureaucrat deciding what doctor i can visit. that’s a private decision that should stay between the regional director of network management at aetna and my boss

If you ever find yourself in southwestern Missouri, visit the Precious Moments chapel. Check out the birth place for grandma Funko pops. See the forbidden Oklahoma City Bombing figurine

My personal view is a lot of good things came out of the hipster era then “nerd culture” came in like a wrecking ball, ruined most of it and created the slop culture we live in today

Oscar season is great because the truly vile shit that a crack team of reporters couldn’t unearth gets released just so a Sony movie can win best supporting actress

IMDB users are one of the dumbest groups on the entire internet, their ratings are based solely on plot momentum. All of them are so completely and utterly addicted to reveal-slop, their ratings are basically worth nothing. E7 was maybe the best of the show so far
