@sama Open source must win. It is becoming more and more important as AI becomes a larger part of society.

also, a reason to favor open-source harnesses.

Concerning.

The create menu is the fastest way to create a new Block in Macro Use the shortcut: •C + A for a new agent •C + E for a new email •C + D for a new document •C + T for a new task and so on

@emilkowalski We were/are quite excited too. I think there's a decent amount of bots on GH now though. Lots of south American sounding names but with locations in the middle east. Not sure why or who's incentive it is to star repos but we seem to have ~70 stars from them.

My skills repo has gained 8,000 GitHub stars in a week, it surpassed Vaul and is 300 stars short of surpassing Sonner. Not greatest metrics of success, but it’s a good indication of how the times change.

@mrjeremyblaze @neverbeforeco Hey Jeremy, this rhymes with what we're building. Would love to have you built on top - it's open source

Everyone’s building the orchestration layer for code. Few are building it for entire companies. @neverbeforeco is giving this a go. A few weeks ago we killed most of our internal tools and replaced them with one unified internal platform. Our stack is now: 1. The platform 2. Slack 3. Figma 4. GitHub 5. Xero (accounting) That's it. That's every tool. The platform orchestrates across all of these. Every client gets a space: tasks, notes, messages, files; all in one knowledge graph. Agents pick up work and deliver it end-to-end, looping in humans only when needed. Figma and GitHub have first-class integrations, so designs and code ship without leaving the platform (agentically or by humans). Even Xero has an integration to automate billing. The real unlock: one surface for the whole business. Context engineering is now the bottleneck for AI adoption, and you can’t engineer context that’s sprawled across a dozen apps. We're dogfooding this for ourselves and our clients. If you want a demo though, DM me.

@hnshah I don't want a bunch of agents, but yes, it's nice to @-mention one or two.

Do people really want AI agents that run in Slack?

@AnthropicAI It would be interesting to see the same analysis across Chat and Gemini. Subjectively they have very different personalities. Claude(s) is all the same on the same constitution, trained by the same people. I would expect a wider dispersion across providers

In previous research, we found that Claude expresses over 3,000 values, like honesty and warmth. In new work, we asked how the values Claude expresses vary between Claude models and across languages. We analyzed 300K+ anonymized conversations to find out.anthropic.com/research/claud…

@westytime They are literally everywhere on the L. One prompt, job done. Can't get it out of my head now. Signed up for the product and it's hilariously low quality

Great news: we have product demos on the nyc subway now

@mwseibel @claudeai Two things are bad here. One, obviously, the models should't be nannies. Two: platforms need to give up on being closed-source and proprietary. Your data should be yours. Your workspace should be open source, extensible and modular. github.com/macro-inc/macro

Tried to use @claudeai to scrape my data from a product I’m using and paying for. Was in a back and forth debate about whether I have permission to do this even though I’m clearly the admin on the account. Switched models immediately.

@originkit awesome nice work

New components just dropped. Copy them for free at originkit.dev

@abdinmotion nice work, booked you let's chat

Here's the structure behind every great launch video 👇

Super cool to see people riffing on our sidebar on X. Great work Masudur!

@olasam_uiux @sr_masudur @figma @weareuigeek you're killing it, nice work man

@sr_masudur @macrodotcom @figma @weareuigeek Amazing job bro

@awesomekling Ideally, yourself.

The secret to happiness as a software developer is to make software for people you care about.

There's an underappreciated downside of having a cofounder that can sell. It means you're going to build a product that's meant to be sold. That's fine, but it does mean that, if you were destined to build a self-serve PLG business, or a consumer business, that might be impossible if that cofounder derives a sense of self-worth from selling.

Founders, would you rather have: - cofounder who can code - cofounder who can sell

@DilumSanjaya Man, this is awesome. People are going to be using all these great AI-build (or AI-was-heavily-involved) apps, products and services that they'll LOVE, and they'll still be hating on AI.

@ylecun @KenRoth Open source is the only way forward. It always had the moral authority within niche programming circles but now it's a societal necessity imo

@KenRoth The biggest risk of AI is the concentration of power in a few dominant providers of proprietary AI assistants. The only solution to AI sovereignty is open source foundation models.

UN secretary-general Guterres warns that AI is advancing faster than governments' exercise of oversight. He's right. Everyone is so worried about winning the AI race that they are ignoring the huge risks that AI poses to us. trib.al/gIav6Qt

@NateWatkin Nice work, design is beautiful. Personally I would remove the scroll capture if the market is high taste techies (which I assume given the product and vibe). Scroll capture at least puts of everyone in our office but maybe that's just us. Anyways, minor detail, super great work!

The Fabric website is live. I built this app to help me be more productive in work and life by turning recurring tasks into agentic loops. And your agents work alongside you right inside your personal calendar. Launching into private beta soon. Sign up for the waitlist below.
