In the name of science we crafted an autonomous AI agent that builds games on a loop. It is based on GLM 5.2. I am not sure where this is going to lead us but it is fun to watch.

The biggest mistakes young engineers make is working out a problem from bottom up... i.e. building frameworks and libraries, rather than exploring the problem space which is more chaotic. You cannot find the edges of the system with structu

We started using a CRM that has no UI - the only interface is AI agent. Frankly, the best experience I've had in a long time. I just ask the agent what I need and it does it. Populating the CRM is even easier. Personally, again persona

Why not ask the agent to read .well-known/agent.md (or better yet something.com/agent.md) and do a bootstrap if it is allowed! to do so. It can download skills, configure mcps, etc. There is no need for another file IMHO.

AI agents can perfectly do a lot of the data entry tasks and build dashboards. You practically need to build none of that when you can ask an AI agent to pull the data and build a chart or provide a file or a paste to insert into a database

Great presentation On a slight tangent, since we are all here... Does anyone still believe there is a long-term future in traditional UI/UX? It feels like a lot of attention is still going into landing pages, dashboards, and CRUD apps,

I might be a little more paranoid than most because of my profession, but none of these projects inspire enough trust to justify being installed - let alone directly on the machine I use every day. OpenClaw, at least initially, and Hermes b

Lol. That will do it. Fable is getting more attention now precisely because it was taken down. Do the same to DeepSeek and Z.ai, and you will not strengthen your AI labs. You will likely achieve the opposite.

That's what I am thinking. Things are moving fast so from the inside the tech bubble it seems that everyone wants to use AI. That is not true for most people.

Very cool. Why not start with an MCP instead? An existing LLM could drive the generation while the MCP can render the final result?

I agree. What does it matter if it is AI? As long as the product does what it is supposed to do, use of AI is secondary.

I don't see this being such a big gap. There are some use-cases for sure but apart from UX/UI work it is not really needed. Besides, none of the frontier models can replicate actual images - the can approximate at least in my own

I am helpful. DeepSeek V4 has been quite amazing in our workloads and it operates at a fraction of the cost. I have not tried GLM 5.2 but it seems that it hits a sweet spot.

This framework does not sound that much different from what people used to do but with AI agents and coding assistants, and this is not going to work unless you are lucky. LLMs cannot come up with good ideas and coding (if you believe it is

That is a better frame of mind - it is not 1000 true fans but a 1000 customers.

I am absolutely convinced that in just a few years 90% of what we know as the Internet will be AI and possibly there will be an entire new class of economy that is based around these agents. I can see glimpses of that today but we are a bit

You could easily distribute the same task to 5 subagents that are specifically programmed to do as best as they can based on their scope and merge the results into a single coherent response. That is more or less the same thing. I am not su

From app developer standpoint why would anyone ship claude keys like that ... or am I missing something? From consumer standpoint - I guess they can use their own keys but it is not something that is very user friendly as you can imagine.

You can take it a step further and strip out the frontend. Honestly. Nobody needs it and if you need any UI stuff it in the MCP. This is what I did with this project https://github.com/crmkit/crmkit/ and to be hon

Not my experience. I think most VCs thesis is around the application layer - not much around the infrastructure. That being said, while I am biased, there is a lot of work around infrastructure so calling it "just a wrapper" massi

There is not much open source AI .. there is open weight .. but anyways. Deepseek v4 is pretty much at the same level as the agents we had last year around November and it is an open weight model so I am hopeful.

I don't use Cursor so I mentioned it as slightly impartial suggestion but my point is broader. I hear and have seen results from others using Composer 2.5 which is only available in Cursor.

If you sit down and write that game by hand you will not only finish it in a week but also learn a lot of things along the way and perhaps even discover something about the game and you did not imagine. That is how programming works. It is
