Drag and Drop Code with Thunkable is now available! @Thunkable has the best user interface ever applied to coding, and now there is a book for this great app building tool. I've also decided that the term #NoCode should be changed to #DragAndDropCode 🙃 amazon.com/Drag-Drop-Thun…

I define a natural language coder as one who doesn't know traditional code (e.g., Javascript), and who creates software without ever viewing or editing the generated code.

AI coding democratizes software and allows natural language coders to create. But the typical use case of building a web app is not a day changer for most. OpenAI's new agent mode is. NL coders can now create worker bee automations that directly help them work and play. #vibecode

We've been dying to bring additional languages to @NotebookLM Audio Overviews since we launched last year. But we also wanted to ensure we had the quality and coverage the feature deserves. As of today, you can do a Deep Dive into your sources in more than 50 languages!

How I'd launch my startup if I had $0:👇

Try this, it works very well.... @tedx_ai

You should really stop using Zapier, Make or n8n Generating a Python script and running it is much faster (and cheaper) using: - o3-mini / Claude / Gemini to create the script - Python Code Runner (free Chrome extension) to run it And it only takes a few minutes. Link below

If you like this, I can turn it into a proper series and go even more in-depth into some of the other details.

How any solo developer can make an extra $10K per month:

I've tried all of these AI coding tools Here are the strengths, weaknesses and when to use which: @cursor_ai → Still best overall imo → Excels when your project gets big and complex → Steeper learning curve Users: advanced @windsurf_ai → Same target audience as Cursor → Strong and intuitive agent mode → Some say it's better than Cursor with large codebases Users: advanced @boltdotnew → Fast, simple, working SaaS prototypes → Simple mobile apps with new Expo integration → Gets a bit difficult when project grows Users: beginners @Lovable → Great for landing pages and SaaS prototypes → Similar target audience to Bolt → Native supabase & resend integration → Customizable designs with visual edits feature Users: beginners @v0 → Great for UI components in shadcn style → Big collection of templates → Import from Figma feature Users: beginners @Replit → Full stack with native DB → Easy deployment → Coding on the mobile app Users: beginners - advanced @DatabuttonHQ → Full step-by-step guided approach → Very beginner friendly → Strong customer support (main differentiator) Users: super beginners @CopyCoderAI → Main use case: recreate an existing app or design → Great for starting a project → Only generates prompts, no code Users: beginners - advanced Very interesting to see how an entirely new ecosystem is evolving, with each tool going after slightly different audiences. Which tools did I miss?

This spring I am teaching a new class at MIT called **How to AI (Almost) Anything** Its name is a play on 2 seminal @medialab courses: how to make almost anything (on design & fabrication) and how to grow almost anything (on synthetic biology) We are now in the AI age, and today's AI can be applied to almost anything - from language to vision, audio, sensors, medical data, music, art, smell, and taste. This course covers the principles of AI (focusing on deep learning and foundation models), how we can apply AI to novel real-world data modalities, and multimodal AI that can process many modalities at once, such as connecting language and multimedia, music and art, sensing and actuation, and more. Course website: mit-mi.github.io/how2ai-course/… All lectures, readings, and materials will be released publicly, so feel free to follow along!

i particularly love when the anti-AI crowd makes up shit about our water usage while eating a hamburger

course is here btw: benscoding.com (vibe coded it)

Non-coders at big companies are shipping apps w/ Replit—saving developer time.

What a crazy day in AI 🤯 • Claude Dictation • Synthflow Voice 2.0 • Claude Desktop app • ElevenLabs X to Voice • RedPanda Image Model • OpenAI launches SearchGPT • Google Learn About experiment • Search Grounding on Google AI Studio Here is everything you need to know:

This is what I would sound like based on my X posts using the @elevenlabs Voice Designer I don’t like the voice lol Try it yourself on xtovoice.com #xtovoice xtovoice.com/dwwolber

So cool to see NotebookLM included on the @TIME list of best inventions of 2024. As for the quote saying I’ve been fantasizing about it for 30 years: 1. I apparently have very nerdy fantasies. 2. It’s actually almost 40 years (I apparently am old.) time.com/7094935/google…

NotebookLM was just named as one of @TIME best inventions of 2024. What a ride! 💘 time.com/7094935/google…

The folks at the @Google Keyword asked me for my top tips in getting the most out of NotebookLM. If you're just starting out with the product, these should be helpful... blog.google/technology/ai/…

Want to learn about #nocode and the drag and drop coding tool @Thunkable as you walk/drive to work? Check out this #NotebookLM generated podcast: notebooklm.google.com/notebook/96c32… Then check out DragAndDropCode.com for tutorials on building apps, even gen-AI

@momblogger @stevenbjohnson Noemi, great stuff and I look forward to the interview. I'm exploring using NotebookLM to create podcasts to better inform voters, check out aipods.carrd.co.

The collaborative nature of NotebookLM , my column for Sunday Business & IT , The Manila Times. NotebookLM, an AI-powered research tool co-created by @stevenbjohnson and Google Labs, is evolving into a true thought partner. It allows users to upload their own documents and interact with various sources through features such as chat, summarization, study guide creation, and audio overviews. I had an interesting conversation with Johnson at the Google Philippines Headquarters on the origins and the collaborative nature of NotebookLM.
