@tonysimons nice man!

@WonderLaura can't wait

@MSFTCopilot And a very angry CFO if you let almost any user use that.

[Tom Baker - Automate Already @TomBaker_AI]

@GillelandKristi @MichaelGannotti Yep. But I've been around since the first home computers, AOL, the web, mobile, cloud etc. the panic and haters always hate and the smart people make money and thrive. Guess which we are

@EXM7777 Memememememme
Umm please

[Tom Baker - Automate Already @TomBaker_AI]

@rashem48 Exactly. I would be teaching newcomers to the field how to define the issue. What the end state should look like. What bad looks like. How to build a spec. Then how to test it. The coding part....don't care. And all the AI writes horrible code talk has a diminishing shelf life

[Tom Baker - Automate Already @TomBaker_AI]

@ivanainai Until he runs out of usage credits. But yeah

[Tom Baker - Automate Already @TomBaker_AI]

@NetworkChuck Dude I don't want to use their products at all - and now we dont need to. All the years of being held hostage in their ecosystem are over. long live open source

[Tom Baker - Automate Already @TomBaker_AI]

Because it can't all be Copilot talk, I took a break to have with with Deepseek Flash using @MiaAI_lab 2-Spark setup. I asked it to do 10 different html sites no repeats (my like Mia with her 100 test). They came out pretty good. I have a 100 test going in the background.

@Da7_Tech it sucks

[Tom Baker - Automate Already @TomBaker_AI]

@buckleyplanet @OwenGregorian So thliats a different market and is worth exploring. If I'm starting today and had any skill with AI (debatable) I would look to build tools\find Open Source tools that fit my needs, not buy SaaS applications. That's not how most small busineses think yet and no enterprise

[Tom Baker - Automate Already @TomBaker_AI]

@sharepointfocus Ok that's kind of cool

[Tom Baker - Automate Already @TomBaker_AI]

This!! Stop buying tokens for repeatable work

[Alan Hoa👨‍💻 @HiAlanHoa]

If your AI agent does the same task the same way every time, it shouldn't be an AI task anymore.

Turn it into a script. Faster, costs zero tokens, and it never has a creative day.

@SKatalystAI Why does everyone hate on gradients? (Im going to try these btw all joking aside)

[Tom Baker - Automate Already @TomBaker_AI]

@SuiBuilds Yesterday

[Tom Baker - Automate Already @TomBaker_AI]

@tonysimons This is great

[Tom Baker - Automate Already @TomBaker_AI]

@buckleyplanet @OwenGregorian Again you Can build it. But what's my reason for switching to it. That's what no AI company has answered. Now I think exceptions are programs that don't tie into your data and can be replaced feature for feature like Photoshop. Those companies have a problem

[Tom Baker - Automate Already @TomBaker_AI]

I truly any think it's the SaaS apps that will get replaced in companies using them now. Inertia is an issue, but mostly the AI tools don't offer a compelling price point to leave most applications yet. Sure some niche things for now we'll get absorbed but that's not new to AI. Look at a feature like Teams. CFOs are less interested in ripping out software than they are reducing headcount
