@deedydas Code looks pretty crap on this, probably doesnt work very well. People making money would be much more sophisticated in their code.

There’s a GitHub repo called MoneyPrinter with 20k+ stars. Its entire purpose is generating internet slop for profit (yes, including Twitter bots).

Is anyone building a “Slack for agents”? If so, I’d love to fund you + blow you up with my platform. I’ve kickstarted growth for companies like @GroqInc, @rork and more. Would love to do this again for the right company. If this is you, reach out.

Stop paying Arcads $11 for a single AI UGC video 🤯 Yeah, I just built my own Arcads inside Airtable. Same features, fraction of the cost. Perfect for e-comm brands & agencies who need AI UGC at scale without bleeding cash. Here's the problem: Arcads charges $11 per video (!!!) Yeah, there's a reason you can't locate their pricing ANYWHERE on their homepage. That's $110/month for just 10 videos. If you're testing creative at any real volume, the math stops working fast. So I built my own system: → Actor library with 30+ ready-to-use AI characters → Create custom actors with Nano Banana Pro → Generate variations (same character, different scenes) → Add products directly into your actor's hands → Quick mode: 8-second hooks via Veo 3.1 → Extended mode: longer talking-head testimonials → B-roll generator for lifestyle clips → Direct integration with ElevenLabs to select any voice The cost? ~40 cents per second for Veo 3 hooks. ~11 cents per second for AI avatar videos. That's a few bucks per video vs. $11. No monthly video caps. No per-video pricing killing your margins. I recorded a full 20-minute breakdown showing exactly how this works—the actor library, UGC generator, B-roll creator, everything. Want to see the full walkthrough + learn how to get access? > Comment "UGC" > Like this post And I'll send it over (must be following so I can DM)

This Instagram Reels AI agent is a f*cking wild 🤯 It scrapes trending Reels in any niche, analyzes them with AI, and pulls out every creative insight automatically. All inside n8n + Airtable. Perfect for DTC brands & agencies who want to know what's working on Instagram before they create a single piece of content. Here's the problem: Your creative strategists are spending *hours* scrolling Instagram for "research." Screenshotting. Taking notes. Trying to remember what hooks hit. ALL BY HAND. And by the time you finally make something, the trend has moved on. This n8n automation fixes that: → Enter any keyword (e.g., "skincare", "fitness", "productivity") → AI scrapes trending Reels automatically → Logs every video to Airtable with views, likes, comments → Hit "Analyze Video" in Airtable → Gemini watches the video and extracts: Hook, Proof Point, Theme → Hit "Analyze Comments" for instant audience insights No scrolling. No screenshots. No guessing. What lands in your Airtable: → Video URL, creator handle, engagement metrics → AI-extracted hooks (what stopped the scroll) → Proof points (what built trust) → Creative themes (the story structure) → Comment insights (what the audience actually wants) Built 100% in n8n. Want the full n8n template + Airtable base? > Comment "REELS" > Like this post And I'll send it over (must be following so I can DM)

In 2026, multi-player AI will eat single-player AI. Right now, most AI tools are built for one human + one model in a private workspace. ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude. Incredibly powerful, but currently optimized for individuals. The impact is massive: drafts, code, specs, campaigns, workflows. But almost none of it is shared, aligned, or contextualized across a team. We've seen this movie before. Cloud 1.0 was just "the same software, but online". The real breakthrough was collaboration. Google Docs beat Word. Figma beat Sketch. Notion beat Evernote. Every single-player tool lost to its multi-player counterpart. AI is about to go through the same transformation. AI 1.0 gave individuals superpowers. AI 2.0 will give teams superpowers. And just like cloud, single-player tools will go multi-player or get replaced. If you're building here, I'd love to talk.

Anyone else notice, human in the loop is broken for agent and human teams. Anyone interested in trying out a new and novel solution?

Two things can be true. If you're not amazed by AI, you don't really understand it. If you're not afraid of AI, you don't really understand it.

@_ChrisCovington @davidfowl @GeoffreyHuntley I'm maximising LLMs for production code and also vibe coding demo apps, all on board with that. But people who are only vibe coding demo apps should be aware of the advice they are giving, because the approaches to using LLMs need to be different for different use cases.

@rid00z @davidfowl @GeoffreyHuntley So you only think it’s one extreme or the other? Or is it that you just don’t know anyone who knows how to use LLMs correctly? I find the denial fascinating. 🍿

@GeoffreyHuntley This is throwing the baby out with the bath water. There are lots of good reasons to use libraries.

2. Then you can generate hi fidelity designs in multiple styles. Then select your design style and wireframes, and have a full working prototype built for you, prototypes autolink and you can choose low fidelity or high fidelity prototypes.

A sneak peek of something extraordinary coming soon... 1. TurboUX is a tool for rapid wireframing and web design concepting. You'll be able to generate 10s to 100s of wireframes for a website/app from a single command, wireframes will be built in record speed.
