For AGI to benefit all of humanity, it should help people with the everyday tasks that matter most to them. So we built LifeVal, a new benchmark shaped by feedback from thousands of ChatGPT users on where they most want help from a personal assistant—from finding childcare to accessing government services to managing personal finances.
Over the past year, we’ve used LifeVal to measure and improve how well our models handle these everyday tasks.

Weekend hack: HackerTube. I was annoyed with YouTube's recommendations so I had Claude filter down 43M comments over 20 years of HN to 6,454 videos that keep being recommended. *Significantly* better viewing experience, ~2 hours with Opus 5.5:

- Excellent recs without any logins (state is kept in local browser session)
- Thumbnail is a representative frame from middle of the video instead of the super duper A/B test hyper-optimized user uploads
- Underlying data from the comment analysis as one zip file, point your Claude at it and ask for your own version
- HackerTube Longs ✊
A bit more on the process:
I use Claude Code (desktop app for Mac), Opus 5.5 on Medium effort as my default. I only talk to Claude and have it do everything, the only "manual work" I helped with in tandem was in the browser (reminiscent of MenuGen): 1) I had to create some kind of API key from Google Cloud UI to query YouTube for video metadata, 2) I booted up a VPS box for serving and 3) I bought the domain name. Once the box was up I gave Claude the IP and told it update, secure, harden, deploy and optimize the code, and it did the whole thing.
Many awesome projects that would have normally taken weeks/months even can now be few-shotted for breakfast. What else are we not thinking of.
design teams have spent years trying to get people to actually read their design system documentation. agents can read them every single time they write code.
new article on design systems for agents:

This book is basically a cheat code for logo design, so I turned the whole book into a site so yall designers and devs can grab every mark as svg. 1,504 marks and counting

Holy sh*t I spent weeks turning Claude Code into a design studio.
no Figma license. no agency. no plugins I had to pay for.
here's the stack I used and it's embarrassingly simple:
-> graphify: teach Claude your brand
dump your guidelines, logos, PDFs and old projects into one folder. graphify turns it into a knowledge graph, so every design Claude makes follows your rules instead of guessing. 134k stars, Y Combinator.
uv tool install graphifyy -> graphify install -> /graphify .
https://t.co/4jokm3ebW1
-> Figma-Context-MCP: Figma straight to code
it hands your actual Figma file to the agent. the README says it builds designs in one shot, and does it better than pasting screenshots.
https://t.co/0No2r6eEUs
-> Penpot: the open-source Figma
free, open source, and its MCP server lets AI read and edit your designs, then hand them to code and back.
https://t.co/9MDSY9cVGC
-> React Bits: the "expensive" look, for free
the biggest open-source library of animated React components. those smooth hover effects and text animations you see on high-end sites? copy, paste, done.
https://t.co/3g6mZWOA7I
-> HyperFrames: designs that move
write HTML, get a finished video. made by HeyGen for AI agents. your landing page can now have its own launch video by tonight.
claude plugin marketplace add heygen-com/hyperframes -> claude plugin install hyperframes@hyperframes
https://t.co/TyUf1vFELD
-> MCP for Blender: 3D without learning Blender
connects Claude to Blender. describe a scene, the agent builds and edits it in real 3D.
https://t.co/nG4caKbnTI
the order that works:
brand into graphify -> design in Figma or Penpot -> Claude builds it with React Bits -> HyperFrames makes the promo -> Blender adds the 3D hero shot
the uncomfortable part:
tools used to be the moat. now everyone has them for free.
the only thing that still separates good design from AI slop is taste. and taste is the one thing you can't install.
bookmark this. your next client will ask why you're suddenly so fast.
I made a skill that turns your app into a demo in HTML.
So they stay sharp at any size, loop, scrub, jump to any step and stand still for reduced motion.
I open-sourced it as a skill:

Unitree Introducing: H2-X Kung Fu Legend Guardian🤖
Powerful performance to serve and guard you, with a maximum endurance of approximately 8 hours.
Please use the robot safely and in a friendly manner.
Opus 5.5 is great for motion design but...
/colorfigures skill will turn Claude into a premier illustration studio
• hand-inked isometric figures from a photo or a name
• every part works: lids open, disks go in, screens boot
• one HTML file with colour swatches & wobble slider
send the skill to your Claude:

Hardware looks scary until you break it down into small steps. So I built an app that takes you through Arduino one circuit at a time.
Made with Opus 5.5

Hi, it's Darshita. I am a designer.
And I'm pitching myself in public 'cause I'm done with a year full of anxiety.
Everyone says design is dead and AI killed it. But the real parasite was hiding in plain sight.
So here's my film, DESIGN IS DEAD. She's bold, fearless and very PINK 💖
