   How Meta designed Muse: an AI agent people actually want to talk to | Alex Cornell (Design Director)

   Alex Cornell is a design director at Meta, where he leads design on Muse, Meta’s consumer AI agent. He came to the role with a long background in software product design, including time as a founder, and has spent the past year building one of the most thoughtful agent interfaces in the consumer AI space. Muse ships with a custom avatar, a three-layer status display, a personalized ideas surface, and a generative feed. Alex has been sharing the reasoning behind each of those design decisions publicly on Threads. What you’ll learn: Why Alex built Muse to feel like messaging, not an AI app How…

   Jev: 8 real use cases for the fastest, cheapest model I’ve ever used | John Lindquist

   John Lindquist created egghead.io, a developer education platform used by hundreds of thousands of working engineers. These days he’s building mega.dev, a hands-on program specifically for developers who want to do real work with AI agents, not just prototype them. What you’ll learn: Why Jev is a decision engine, not a chatbot, and what that distinction actually changes about how you build How John built a real-time voice to-do app that classifies and executes commands with no visible pause The data deduplication pattern that merges messy records in milliseconds using confidence scores Why…

   OpenAI Dev Day 2026: The releases that actually matter

   I spent the day at OpenAI’s DevDay in San Francisco, and I have good news and bad news: OpenAI released a lot of stuff. In this episode, I break down the announcements worth paying attention to - and show you what happened when I tested some of them early. We’ll meet my Dot, explore why Spaces and Sites could matter for how teams work, and get into the model and API updates I’m most excited about as a developer. I use the Decisions API to find podcast thumbnails where nobody looks awkward, build a collaborative sketchpad with Astra ultrafast, and let my kids redesign a 3D world in real time.…

   Opus 5.5 vs. GPT-6 Sol: which model won my blind taste test?

   I got up early to record an Opus 5.5 review. Then Anthropic and OpenAI dropped new models on the same morning, and I decided to do something I’d never done before: take the How I AI bench live. I put GPT-6 Astra, GPT-6 Sol, Claude Opus 5.5, and more through the work I actually care about: emails, PRDs, frontend prototypes, backend work, long-running agents, SVGs, and video editing. I scored the outputs without knowing which model made them, so you get to watch me make predictions, change my mind, and reveal my own very inconsistent taste. Astra won my heart. Opus 5.5 won my week. Sol still…

   I left Claude for months. Opus 5.5 is why I'm back

   I’ve been off Claude for months. Not because it got dumb, but because it got annoying. The rambling, the hedging, the preachy little disclaimers on tasks that didn’t need them. I moved most of my daily work to Codex and I didn’t miss it. Then Anthropic shipped Opus 5.5: 40% cheaper than Opus 5, faster, and with what they’re calling a fundamentally different alignment approach. I ran it for a week across real work, including four long-running agentic tasks, a full ChatPRD homepage redesign, an SVG benchmark, and one very firm refusal, and I’m ready to give you the honest verdict. There’s a…

   How Warp ships 2,000 PRs a month with AI factories | Zach Lloyd (CEO, Warp)

   Zach Lloyd is the co-founder and CEO of Warp, an AI-powered terminal and software factory platform used by tens of thousands of engineers.

In this episode: Why a software factory is more than a coding agent The public Slack → Linear → GitHub → QA workflow…

   Muse review: The personal AI agent that gets consumer UX right

   I spent a few hours putting Meta’s Muse, its new personal AI agent, through a real first-pass test: onboarding, calendar management, goal setting, a one-shot family morning newsletter, browser-based shopping, and the animated avatar that honestly surprised me. What you’ll learn: Why Muse is the best-designed personal agent I’ve tested, and what specifically made it feel that way The one-shot family PDF Muse produced that Claude and Codex never quite nailed How Muse’s permission model works, and why it’s different from every other agent I’ve used Why I set up a sleep training goal in Muse,…
