@TheRundownAI @ElevenLabsDevs What a story! 👏

AGI has been achieved in Ireland. Artificial Guinness Intelligence. Engineer Matt Cortland built an AI voice agent named Rachel, gave her a Northern Irish accent, and pointed her at every pub in the country. Over St. Paddy's weekend, she rang 3,000+ of them to ask one question: how much for a pint of Guinness? How he built it: ElevenLabs for the voice, Twilio and an old Irish SIM to place the calls, Google Places API to map 5,200+ pubs across all 32 counties, and Claude to parse the transcripts for prices. 2,052 picked up. Barely any even realized she was AI. The whole operation ran him about €200. The result is a live price index he's calling the Guinndex. Ireland's statistics office used to track pint prices, but stopped in 2011. An engineer with a weekend and a voice agent just picked up where they left off.

@anvisha Moda

We raised $7.5M to kill AI slop. Introducing Moda: the world's first design agent with taste. RT+ comment “Moda” and we’ll design your brand for FREE.

👀 @trymoda declare war on AI slop!

Design a dashboard - anything you want; the sky is the limit - and ask Claude Code to create it for you in d3.js. Then test and iterate. You'll never see the current UI-driven visualization tools the same, again. At least, I can't.

An AI voice agent called Rachel phoned every pub in Ireland to ask one glorious question: how much is a pint of Guinness? 4,440+ pubs. 982 verified prices. The result is the Guinndex: the first comprehensive pint price index for the entire island of Ireland. #AI #AIAgents

It became a bit of a running joke, but looking back, it was an early sign of where software was heading: from tool to assistant.

Before AI assistants became the big talking point, Microsoft gave us Clippy back in 1997. Originally launched in Microsoft Office 97 as part of the Office Assistant, Clippy was built to offer users guidance, suggestions, and support as they worked.

Simple example 💬 Chatbot: “Write me a project status update.” It writes the update. 🤖 Agent: “Pull the latest project data, summarise the risks, draft the update, email it to the team, and remind me if no one replies by Friday.” It can potentially do the whole chain.

Think of it like this: 💬 Chatbot = answers questions, explains things, writes content, helps you think 🤖 Agent = takes a goal, decides steps, uses tools, carries out actions, checks results

You might be seeing a lot of talk and hype around AI agents, so let’s break it down. 𝗔𝗜 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝘁𝗯𝗼𝘁𝘀 𝘃𝘀 𝗔𝗜 𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 💬 An AI chatbot mainly talks with you. 🤖 An AI agent not only talks, but can also do things on your behalf.

Hearing about all these advancements in AI thinking how much time I might save over a reporting period..

We just open-sourced Paperclip: the orchestration layer for zero-human companies It's everything you need to run an autonomous business: org charts, goal alignment, task ownership, budgets, agent templates Just run `npx paperclipai onboard` github.com/paperclipai/pa… More 👇

Claude in excel!

Every wrong answer teaches you something. Every right answer explains why it works. What makes this project a little different? The entire thing was developed collaboratively with @claudeai

🎮 PROJECT CONTROLS MANAGER : THE GAME Recently with the help of AI I’ve created PROJECT CONTROLS MANAGER, a browser-based learning game where you step into the role of a controls lead on a live construction project. #ProjectControls #APM #EVM #ClaudeAI #AI #GameBasedLearning

This #TransferDeadlineDay might not be the busiest… but it’s a good reminder that there are lots of brilliant opportunities out there to make your next move in Project Controls.

Switching off today is sometimes the most professional thing you can do for the week ahead. #SundayInsight #ProjectControls #WorkLifeBalance #BoundaryManagement #PROJECTCTRLS

But good boundary management is part of good project controls too. Fatigue clouds judgement. Overworking hides risk. Rest sharpens decisions. Knowing when to log off is not a lack of commitment. It is how you protect consistency, clarity, and yourself.

𝗦𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 One of the hardest parts of working from home is knowing when the day is actually done. The laptop is still there. The dashboard is only one click away. And there’s always one more thing you could check.
