AI unlocks your true potential

Not because it lets you skip the work. Because it helps the work reach the level it was aiming for.

The tiny reasons we stick with an App

Sometimes the winning feature is not on the spec sheet.

You can vibe-code Mac apps now

But Glaze's real trick is making these apps easier to launch, share, and install.

Stop copy-pasting into ChatGPT/Claude

Let AI work where your files already live

Skip Starter, get at least Standard for Google Workspace

10x the value for twice the price of Starter

The first tool I add after going live

The best AI-first tools do not add complexity. They remove the work between question, insight, and action.

Never get attached to a specific technology

The tools that work today can still become tomorrow’s migration project.

Which AI level does this job need?

The useful move is choosing the lowest level that removes the bottleneck.

The AI ladder

Before chasing better models, figure out which level of AI your work actually needs.

Before building, define who

The role map comes first: who uses it, who maintains it, who approves it, and who owns it.

Learn as you delegate

Delegating saves time today. A few extra questions are what increase your leverage tomorrow.

AI can build the integration. Should you still use Zapier?

The real question is not whether DIY is possible. It is how much workflow you want to maintain afterward.

What bad looks like is part of the brief

Showing the anti-pattern can be as useful as describing the target state.

Amazon has entered the personal agent room

Amazon Quick looked interesting for ten minutes. My existing context looked more valuable.

How daily writing accidentally rebuilt my Instagram

Once AI joins your process, one project turns into the next, and the next…

Share the "Good to know" with your agent

When it feels barely relevant, it might actually be a key constraint

Make your AI setup portable

Computers became interchangeable once the work moved to the cloud. AI models are heading the same way.

ChatGPT has eyes on becoming a Super App

Still on a quest to become your de facto personal agent, one feature at a time

Just because "AI can build it" does not mean you should

The real skill is knowing when to build, when to buy, and when the default tool is already enough

Models can disappear. Your work should not.

The latest AI model drama is another reminder that resilience matters more than model hype.

When to use Deep Research instead of Chat

Some questions need more than a reply

Can another agent pick up the work?

The real test of whether your AI workflow is resilient.

How I burned through my AI allowance in 90 minutes

The agents weren't building. They were reacting.

Your App probably doesn't need the App Store

Start web-first, then build native around the flows your users prove are worth it.

Apple arrives late to the AI game, but with a real advantage

Not the biggest model. The deepest access to the user.

AI can know the answer and still miss the move

The agent may have the knowledge, the feature, and the capability. Expertise is still knowing when to ask for it.

Subagents are not just fast mode

The real gain is not parallel work. It is better delegation.

The answer is still to try it

Benedict Evans had a useful take on the AI question everyone keeps asking.

Not keeping up with AI? Be more curious

The people getting better are not watching every demo. They are testing AI against their own use cases.

The AI agent you need might already exist in the tools you use

I used Amazon’s Rufus to turn a book search into a simple lead qualification workflow

Your agent wanted to follow you…

It does now.

Using AI every day but not getting better yourself?

You have to go beyond generation and delegation.

When You Need to Get Out of Chat

Full-stack freedom has a price

Shipping the first release is one thing. Living with the build is another.

For once, small businesses have the advantage

Don't waste the window

Get comfortable switching models

The best AI workflows are built on adaptation, not allegiance.

The Developer (as we know it) is dead. Long live the Tech PM!

Why AI may not kill software careers — just promote the best developers into a new role.

The Claude Army is mainly paying for ego, not output

Most AI work is repetitive, not profound. Use enough model, not maximum model.

ChatGPT Pulse: OpenAI’s first step toward personal agents

When AI stops waiting for prompts and starts inferring relevant recommendations from past conversations

Context switching is the new multitasking

In an AI-assisted workflow, the real drag isn’t doing the work — it’s reloading your brain between tasks.

Better AI outputs start with better inputs: a real-world example

Garbage in, Garbage out...

Claude Design looks great. The comparison gets awkward.

A look at what it produced, how it compares with Lovable, Gemini, and Codex, and why the bill matters more than the hype.

Use Claude Code and Codex for more than Code

They’re great for writing, strategy, and ops too!

The problem with vibe coding is not the coding

A new debate has started around vibe coding.

What would you use a personal agent for?

In yesterday’s post I talked about the benefits of personal agents.

On working with Jimmy, Cody, and Clo

Yes, I give my agents nicknames

The “Best Model” is a distraction

Stop picking. Start combining.

Turns out “I’m not creative” was just… a tools problem.
