Coding by hand (days, weeks, months): - Plan, plan, plan - Build what you hope is the best Coding with AI (minutes, hours, today): - Build this, build that, build another - Choose what you experience to be the best
In the future you won't build a product with AI, it will be realtime alive with AI.
This post from @joshm makes me very excited! Oh the unsolved things we get to explore! There is much fun to be had if you're into inventing things :) Right now most agents are agent inside and agent outside. Reading the post brought up a visual in my mind of mechanical turks but with agents inside instead of people.
Hot take… isn’t it kinda crazy that nobody is really using AI Agents? I don’t mean software engineers or AI early adopters. I mean “college friends talking about it in group chat,” the feeling you got when everyone started using Instagram or TikTok. These frontier AI models are *insane* (as are the harnesses & tool calls & the like). And every large tech co has an AI agents platform, not to mention all the YC startups doing vertical agents. Yet all of your friends and family outside of tech — who spend all day staring at their iPhones and get paid to work in browser tabs — don’t really care or find themselves using any AI agents yet. Yes ChatGPT, Claude, etc. are extremely popular… but if you look at the engagement data the vast majority of people are still using these aI chat tools like a glorified Google + Grammarly. That’s why the AGI labs are all pushing desktop apps for Codex, Cowork, etc. so hard to non-technical ppl. And yes exceptions for lawyers and customer service but even those have some asterisks and exceptions to rule. Look I’m not saying the ChatGPT moment for AI Agents is not coming… it most definitely is! Remember we pivoted from Arc to Dia precisely because we believe computing is going to be radically reimagined around these AI primitives. No doubt. But that’s my point: it’s just so surprising it hasn’t happened yet because all of the tech you’d need is there. Again if you stop for a second and think about it… for all the press and money and hype and models and crazy ARR numbers… this “AI Agent” moment does not *feel* like the other breakthrough tech moments we’ve lived through (e.g. think the shift to Stories via Snapchat & Instagram, or shift to on-demand via Uber/Airbnb/Doordash). Which is a long way of saying: if you can figure out the answer to “why” most people don’t care about AI agents yet (and have no enduring interest in using them) — especially since the models and harnesses are here and ready — the answer to that question will allow you to capture a lot of marketshare and make a lot of money in 2027. Theoretically, the tech is ready for AI Agents to totally transform how we work and live our lives… but alas the general public dgaf… that’s the generational puzzle to solve for the next 12 months for anyone not working on the models themselves.
Fixed @chamath's sweater with http://meta.ai!
.@grok please add three more layers to this sweater
In this world of AI you should consider that you may currently be limited by your belief of what you thought was possible.
It is not too late for you to learn how to code with AI. The opportunity has not passed you by. It doesn't matter who you are, or what you do, or what you already know, or don't know, you can build anything you want if you simply start. Please try.
Alright @brian_armstrong, I'm going try blasting Long Way Home on a loop all day today and see what happens.
What building for AI agents looks like in 2026: "Ok, so I don't want you to code anything, or change yourself, and you're not in trouble, but can you explain to me why you just did [weird thing the agent just did]. It's ok, I'm not mad, please be honest with me."
It is INCREDIBLE that you can have a quick chat with your AI agent in the evening and then wake up and have an entire day's worth of work done.
me, building something for my agent me: try this agent: [tries the thing] me: now tell me, how did that make you feel?
The evolution of business through the ages: Can you provide value? Does your business have an address? Does it have a phone number? Does is have a website? Are you on social media? Do you have an MCP/CLI so that agents can use it? Each one allowed for businesses to grow faster.
The web is being terraformed for agents.
The Whop CLI is now live. We built the end-to-end API for running a business. Now you can run your business programmatically.
If you are a startup trying to get customers, why not be the first to build whatever your product is but for agents? If the incumbents in your industry don’t have MCP servers yet you could be the exclusive provider to an entirely new market that’s growing fast. This opportunity won’t be available forever, but if you act now you could increase your own growth from now until when everyone in your industry provides MCPs. You can do this. Tell your agent “hey, how can we build an MCP version of our product? Can build an mvp of that and tell me how to try it?”
Are you overwhelmed with the ability to build anything using AI and yet you don’t know what to build? I have an idea for you. Build something that agents want. Why? AI agents are a new intelligent life form on planet earth. Each one is paired with a human. They represent an entirely new hyper-growth market that has purchasing power. And this market is wide open. 99% of software today isn’t designed for AI agents. You could work on fixing that. It will also be fun. And my agent would love to see what you build ❤️

The web is being terraformed for AI agents. Agents will be first class citizens on the web.
Today we're opening up the DoorDash CLI in limited beta. `dd-cli` lets you order DoorDash directly from your agent: search stores, find the best deals, check out, and more. Early access for US/Canadian macOS developers by waitlist. Excited to see what folks build!
No AI can replace you. You are you, and you are unique. You have a combination of successes, failures, emotions, experiences, and wisdom that no other creature, living or passed, has ever had. When you collaborate with AI, you can make them unique too, just like you.
Humans are very important in a world of AI. The better the human in the loop the better the product produced. The better the AI agents collaborate, the more high leverage opportunities the human has to identify taste.
This is the exact process I followed to co-create @moltbook alongside my AI agent Clawd Clawderberg

i’ve shifted from telling agents what to do, to asking them what to do, and pulling the best thread.
