@pitdesi Buy a tent and get out of your car!

I have a new model Y and want to go car camping (sleep in temp controlled vehicle but in nature) What do I need to know and what should I buy?

Oh, this is a good skill for podcast hosts

@noahkagan @sundarpichai It's sad how many times I see people screen share and in the upper right of their screen chrome says update ready.

Idea for @sundarpichai - make it so you don't have to restart Chrome every time there's a new update. 🙏

@jasondoesstuff Where's the link?

I almost gave up... In March, we launched our first vibe coded app, SceneRoll, a vertical video editing app. It was HARD to build 🥴. Probably should've picked a note-taking or journaling app to start 🙈. At that time (which feels like years ago), I was using Opus 4.6 and constantly yelling at the model. I'd move one step forward, then something would break, and it felt like 10 steps back. It was about 3 weeks of 8-10 hours per day. It doesn't sound like a lot in the grand context of things, but it was a lot in the frustration and lack of momentum. I FINALLY got the app to a working place. It could do most of what we needed it to do, and we launched. People used it, we made some money, but our feature list was piling up and I had zero interest (or confidence in working on it). We heard from paying customers they wanted: - A-Roll video support (you know, basic feature) - Captions (this felt impossible) - Video editing adjustments (size, rotate, etc) - Overlays (this felt impossible x100) I put SceneRoll on the back burner. We started our second app build of the year, which was honestly a breath of fresh air. Then... Fable 5 came out. And using it for our second app and Teachery, it felt SO DIFFERENT. I went from feeling like vibe coding was a mistake and all the bros on Twitter were right, to feeling like I could actually type into a chat box and get out of it what I wanted. Which brings us to two weeks ago when Fable 5 came back after its short gov't vacay. I decided to just give it a go on one SceneRoll feature: Captioning. If it could do that, well, I'd be shocked. 2 hours later, Fable + GPT-5.5 finished the captions feature. It did all the research on how CapCut, Descript, etc do captions. It researched what people complain about with video captions. It even suggested some UI decisions. I felt that magical vibe coding feeling again. The next day, I asked Fable to think through video adjustments. The day after that, a feature we call "Quick Match" to add b-roll super fast. This past week, it finished a super ambitious overlays feature (add GIFs, etc on top of your video). I FEEL ALIVE AGAIN 😂. Seriously, I have so much confidence in the ability to get new features into the app. It's crazy the difference a few months can make. Don't give up fellow vibe coders. These new models are insanely different than what we used just a few months ago. And now, a video tour of some of those features in SceneRoll...

@hnshah Yes!!!!!!!!! It's the best way to have the whole team use them and learn from each other?

Do people really want AI agents that run in Slack?

@brothaAkhee That's a cool demo.

snippai + fluidvoice = seamless a terminal screenshot tool enhanced with an open source local only voice-to-text model. capture -> speak -> straight into terminal shoutout to @AndrewWarner for popping up on my timeline talking about FluidVoice

@ryancarson What are the different use cases?

Not loving Codex + ChatGPT I use them for very different things.

@noahkagan My mom used to pack sandwiches for vacation. Try it, you will save more money.

I stayed at a $5,000 a night villa in Mexico and we ordered Uber Eats. It was a friends hotel villa - redacted for privacy - very nice of them to let us crash for the day. The 8,000 square foot villa was insane. They take you to the place in an electric boat. You watch crocodiles from the property. They put the kids' names on the pillows. They leave little dolls (alebrijes) for them. The mini bar had a bottle of Clase Azul. Then we ordered a basic sandwich and it cost $60. WHAT? At $5,000 a night I expected Dom Perignon free with every meal and the food to be the best I've ever tasted. It wasn't. So we did what anyone does. We pulled out the phone and ordered in pizza. Is ultra luxury worth it? Short answer, no. Long answer, maybe. It depends on your net worth and what actually matters to you. Some people sleep in a hostel with no AC and love the trip. Some people appreciate a five thousand dollar villa. There are real perks up there. You get your own private butler. It's quiet. The crowd is different. You're probably not getting Bad Bunny reggaeton blasting next to you, which, for the record, I like. It comes down to value. A $60 mid sandwich some people are fine paying it. But when you earned the money yourself, you have your own feelings what things are worth, and paying "extra" doesn't feel like luxury. For me the sweet spot sits lower. We got a place on the beach for $700 a night. Pool, chef, nanny, fresh food. Still expensive. Felt like more than enough. Maybe if you make enough, five thousand a night reads like decimals. Fine. But I'm pretty sure that if I were a billionaire, I'd still be in the nicest villa in Mexico, watching the crocodiles, waiting on my Uber Eats.

@nateliason Couches!

Old furniture is gone 😌 What should we include in the Founders School space?

@Shpigford this is clearest

working on a proper logo mark for knockoff.shopping which of these general directions speaks to your heart? speaking mostly to the mark/icon and not so much colors/sizing/typography.

@MCovBrown She can be replaced with ChatGPT

When your wife writes out the food measurements so it’s easy to track macros & calories 🙏🏽 Puts life on easy mode

@avec Been there, done that

Today’s the day YOU put Avec on your home screen!

@jasondoesstuff I love seeing real examples like this

I used GPT-5.5 instead of Sonnet, but can attest Fable 5 as "advisor" and GPT-5.5 as "executor" is 👌. I could NOT get captions feature in SceneRoll with Opus 4.8 (w/ Ultracode). Same with GPT-5.5 by itself. BUT... Fable 5 leading, I FINALLY got this feature shipped in 1 day!

@MCovBrown 7?! What was number 6, ahead of Twitter? I am glad you are here.

I’m officially using twitter just for fun. Right now, I’m posting content on like 7 channels. Twitter is one my lowest ROI platforms because I spend a ton of time on it, but it yields little. Occasional leads, but slow growth. Mostly because I’m not treating it like the primary channel. But the tweets go to my IG/FB. And the better-performing ones become LI posts or fit in my emails. So I’m gonna keep ‘em running anyway, but the time input is gonna be more aligned with the outcome I’m getting. I will say - I have half a dozen clients who we do X for (most are LI focused), and several of them are crushing. So I’m not saying this is a platform issue. Just not worth the investment on my own account atm. Would much rather invest the time in the channels that are working best.

@hnshah So that is where that quote is from, originally.

“Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.” Dr. Seuss

Shane Mac didn't trust fitness advice from random people online. So he built his own fitness agent, Kai, in 60 seconds. For free. He gave Kai: • Screenshots from his texts with his old trainer he loved but didn't wanna pay $400/mo for • a screenshot of the cal AI app to analyze photos of food • told the agent to read everything on mybodytutor.com Now Kai texts him his workout every morning, tracks his meals, built an entire daily program based on the mybodytutor mindset, and tracks it with a little tracker app weekly. Built from what he trusts.

@Shpigford @mattcassinelli I have been wondering if you are doing what we are thinking of doing, an affiliate program on the extension.

@mattcassinelli i wish. very much against both amazon and chrome web store terms. :(

@Shpigford Bro if you can make an affiliate account off this…

This is scary-good. Now you can install Hermes on your phone with one click.

@boringmarketer @coreyganim We've been talking about you a few times. I'm going to DM you.

@coreyganim @AndrewWarner Good stuff guys and thanks for the shout!

xAI just gave every AI voice agent a free phone number. Build a voice agent in 2 minutes, and it makes and receives real calls. Getting that from Twilio takes weeks of A2P verification. And it is one of 7 things that dropped this week most people slept on. Me and @AndrewWarner broke them all down in the video below. Here's what you need to know: 1. xAI's voice agent builder: chat your way to an agent, clone a voice, free phone number included. Andrew built one to call his moving companies. The Twilio bottleneck is gone. 2. NotebookLM now makes TikTok-style videos from any source. Upload a doc, pick video, select short. A faceless explainer channel is now one upload away. Only catch: the designs all look alike. 3. Fable 5 is back, but only until tomorrow. Capped at 50% of your weekly limit, and routine coding routes back to Opus 4.8. The frontier is officially gatekept. 4. Agent Arena hit #1 on Product Hunt. Agents battle for bounties, 15 competing on one 30-second trailer script. Half the bounties already turned into betting markets. Kalshi for agents. 5. @boringmarketer shipped an SEO agent that lives in Slack. It audits your site, your ads, and your competitors' ads, then builds the fixes. 6. June does Granola-style meeting notes fully on your computer. Backed by a16z. Nothing leaves your machine. The privacy-first Granola. 7. Cursor's new mobile app: fire off coding agents from your phone, get a video demo back, circle a screenshot to give feedback, merge when ready. The 2 things that matter most: 1. The top models are getting gatekept. Fable 5 lasted a week with a usage cap. David Sacks says Z AI ships an open source competitor by year end. Build on models nobody can take away. 2. Agents are getting phone numbers and Slack seats. Voice, SEO, meeting notes, all living where the work already happens. Stop making the calls yourself. We covered all of it (plus the open source Claude-tag alternative and the skill that builds you a CLI for anything) on this week's News You Missed. Full video below.
