Markdown is code. I am in a branch where I am modifying GStack so that it can automatically do Codex code and plan reviews as a default setting. Of course I have the skill vendored in the repo so my workspace uses whatever is local. So as I was actually running /ship it ran its own code, but was also self-aware enough that it says "Choose A because you're literally shipping this feature right now." Absolutely remarkable! The markdown is better than JS or deterministic language because it knows what is happening and can make choices with intelligence. Markdown is not just code. It is better than code. (For some things!)

402!

The Firecrawl plugin is now available in @opencode 🔥 $ npm install -g firecrawl-cli Let agents scrape, search, and browse the web for real-time context - right from your terminal.

So we really get one Claude update per day, don’t we

1 hour until our x402 402-minute Buildathon begins. We go live at 10:00am PT for 6.7 hours to see what you’ve built and discuss with teams who have integrated x402. We’ll see you soon.

I think I finally figured out why OpenClaw is amazing and took off like wild fire and why Peter is a genius, as Altman called him. And it's actually a different way of looking at it. It's not a DeepSeek moment for agents. It's a Napster moment. And just like Napster it will eventually force the industry to change. In essence when Napster came out the entire world told the music industry we don't want to buy CDs anymore and if you don't provide us a digital download experience we are just going to take it until you do. It forced the industry to create Apple Music and eventually Spotify. Both essentially killed most music piracy by making it ubiquitous and cheap and good. But it forced change. The same will now happen to software. Here's why: In essence OpenClaw lets you take what vendors don't want to give you: Unified access to countless applications. We all want a personal assistant that can talk to freaking everything and do anything for us in the digital world. But vendors don't want this. They want you locked into their bullshit. For example, none of the messaging platforms want bots on there. None. They all have explicit policies against them and make it hard to do this. WhatsApp doesn't want you on there. Signal. Telegram's bot father is garbage. It's all designed to keep bots out. They were designed for a pre-agentic era when bot = spam. Many other things are like this. The API layers are gated, hoop-jumping bullshit. Go get an enterprise account and wait for approval and yada yada. Want access to WhatsApp? Get a business account and attach a number (what small business has a real number anymore 😂) and messages can't come from a person, etc. Google ads? It's not just an auth, it's go get a special manager account and create an enterprise key and blah blah blah. It's a horrible experience because it was all designed for corporations to control access. Now people are saying, make your app easy to access and accessible to me and my machine avatars and do it in a headless way or you will be dead. Peter hacked around all this by making everything command line in the classic Linux style and using things like an open source library that reverse engineered the web version of WhatsApp. It's all a bit house-of-cards-y because he had no choice. At my company we had a similar idea early (and failed). Basically we wanted to make the best multimodal/computer using model because then it doesn't need an API or access hoops. You just go through the human interface layer and ain't nobody going to stop you. We failed because we weren't big enough and it's really a job for the mega-labs to solve because it is a hard problem and costs a shit ton of money. Peter was much smarter. Make it all command line because that is ready now. Use any reverse engineered library or project or proxy available come Hell or high water and make it work by any means necessary even if it is hacky. In short, he signaled to the software world that they better change and change fast or we are going to do this anyway and you can't stop us. Of course some are foolishly trying. Meta is banning Claws on WhatsApp, etc. They will all try to build their own gated, controlled, enshittified version of this thing. They will fail. And eventually everyone will offer a clear, easy way to get access via API for agents or they will be gone. In essence OpenClaw gave people what they wanted, which was an app connected to everything, even when most of the vendors don't want you to have this.

Cursor released new "Glass" experience in early access, a unified workspace for agents, repositories, and cloud tasks. A new Cloud Handoff feature also allows agents to switch between tasks on your local machine and their cloud instances. An answer to the Codex 👀

Markdown+LLM is code and for creating high value complex contextual and intelligence-required tasks it is much much better than any deterministic language

At the Agents Anonymous SF meetup last night we did another 🙋 AI usage survey, here are the est. numbers: Usage stats: - 90% Claude Code - 60% Codex - 30% Cursor - 20% OpenCode - 10% Conductor - 10% Own agent/Pi 80% have prompted a coding agent from mobile 50% have not handwritten a single line of code this year 99% think they're more productive now vs. pre agentic coding agents Parallel agent usage: - 90% 3+ - 70% 4+ - 50% 5+ - 5% 10 Also want to give a ginormous thank you to our incredible speaker lineup: - @jonas_nelle & @alexirobbins from @cursor_ai - @southpolesteve from @Cloudflare - @LewisJEllis from @ycombinator - @aidandcunniffe from Git AI - 🦞 @steipete from @openclaw Hope to see you all at the next one! 🫡

LLM sceptics have predicted the last 7 of 0 walls

The ability of the Claude team to learn from things like OpenClaw and implement features like this on a daily basis is a very strong argument that, for AI-powered coding teams, a very different software development process is possible, with large strategic implications.

I'll be doing a livestream with Figma on March 31st on how to use Claude Code with the Figma MCP to collaborate between engineers and designers. Hope to see you there, you can sign up below!

Why use MCP servers? It’s all about developer velocity. Google Cloud provides remote, pre-baked tools so your agents can query structured data immediately. Watch more → goo.gle/3NAeeJH

We just released Claude Code channels, which allows you to control your Claude Code session through select MCPs, starting with Telegram and Discord. Use this to message Claude Code directly from your phone.

This is the part Replit, Lovable, and Bolt should be losing sleep over. Google AI Studio now ships with the Antigravity coding agent built in, Firebase for auth and databases, and one-click Cloud Run deployment. The entire pipeline from “describe your app” to “it’s live on the internet with a working backend” runs inside one browser tab. Free tier. No credit card. The vibe coding startups charge $15-39/month and still require you to stitch together Supabase, Netlify, and two or three other services before anything actually works in production. Users on Bolt have reported burning $1,000+ on a single project when debugging cycles eat through token budgets. Lovable and Bolt both hit a complexity wall around 15-20 components where the AI starts losing context and making destructive changes. Google just bundled the entire backend those companies never built. This is the same playbook Google ran on email, maps, and cloud storage. Give it away free, make it the default, wait for the market to reorganize around your infrastructure. The vibe coding startups built better creation experiences. Google built the deployment layer those prototypes always needed. The gap Google is exploiting: every startup in this space built a great front door and a mediocre production experience. Google built a mediocre front door sitting on top of the best production infrastructure in the world. They paid $2.4 billion for the Windsurf team to fix the front door. The startups are still trying to build their own backend. One of those problems is easier to solve. And the company with 20+ million developers already on its platform gets to solve it with distribution the startups will never match.

I’ve been playing this with this for a couple weeks now and it’s genuinely the easiest vibe coding platform for web apps now. It’s very good and easy to hook into googles cloud infra services

We’re launching a brand new, full-stack vibe coding experience in @GoogleAIStudio, made possible by integrations with the @Antigravity coding agent and @Firebase backends. This unlocks: — Full-stack multiplayer experiences: Create complex, multiplayer apps with fully-featured UIs and backends directly within AI Studio — Connection to real-world services: Build applications that connect to live data sources, databases, or payment processors and the Antigravity agent will securely store your API credentials for you — A smarter agent that works even when you don't: By maintaining a deeper understanding of your project structure and chat history, the agent can execute multi-step code edits from simpler prompts. It also remembers where you left off and completes your tasks while you’re away, so you can seamlessly resume your builds from anywhere — Configuration of database connections and authentication flows: Add Firebase integration to provision Cloud Firestore for databases and Firebase authentication for secure sign-in This demo displays what can be built in the new vibe coding experience in AI Studio. Geoseeker is a full-stack application that manages real-time multiplayer states, compass-based logic, and an external API integration with @GoogleMaps 🕹️

Composer 2 is now available in Cursor.
