I tested 22 AI tools for work and coding, these 7 will save you the most time: 1. @WisprFlow: Great AI voice notes every time 2. @meetgranola: AI meeting notes with taste 3. @NotionHQ: The best AI agents for work 4. @perplexity_ai: Super fast everyday searches 5. Claude Code: The innovator in AI coding 6. Codex: Excels at planning and gnarly fixes 7. @cursor_ai: Best IDE and super fast AI model 📌 Watch my new tutorial to see me rank and demo all 22 tools live: piped.video/UKf6D42ME7Q
If you use one of the top AI browsers (Open AI Atlas, Perplexity Comet, Dia) - what's your favorite practical use case so far? I haven't found them super useful outside of getting insights for YouTube videos 🤷

"Everyone is more tired than you think." That's the assumptions that Ami (former CPO Faire and VP WhatsApp) brings to product decisions. I love Ami's quote from our interview: "Nobody wants to learn a new thing. They want relief. A sanctuary where stuff just works." Ami breaks simplicity down into 3 questions: 1. What should I build? What makes your product indispensable? At WhatsApp, it wasn't AI or photo editing. It was making sure calls and messages went through for free, every time. 2. How should I build? What makes your product familiar? WhatsApp matched your phone's OS defaults so it felt familiar even if you'd never used it. 3. How do I tell the story? What story are your users already telling? One user said "WhatsApp feels like a part of my arm" – revealing it should feel like a natural extension of communication, not a separate tool. I remind myself to "do the simple thing first" every day, which is why I was so excited to get Ami's practical lessons on this topic. 📌 Subscribe to get our full interview tmr: piped.video/@peteryangyt?sub…

Caught up with one of my favorite product leaders recently. Ami is the ex-CPO of Faire, ex-VP Product & Design of WhatsApp, and most importantly a great writer and mom 🙂 I got her to talk about what's on everyone's mind about building simple products, execution vs. strategy, and how to get brutally honest feedback from AI.

If there's one thing I learned about building good products, it's to co-create the product with your customers as early as possible.
Went to watch this movie by myself at night yesterday (hard to take time away from fam 😅) and still thinking about it. Anime is taking over the world.

Roblox creators - after years of waiting you can FINALLY now make real-time game updates (configs) and run both in-game and matchmaking A/B tests! You can run experiments on everything from onboarding flows to progression systems to starter pack types and much more. We've been cooking these features for awhile so excited to finally ship them to all creators. Please feel free to share feedback in the devforum post below - let's make these products great together 🔥 #RobloxDev
With Configurations and Experiments, creating real-time events and changes is easier than ever. Creators can now make dynamic changes to refine and measure their impact on gameplay and matchmaking—all without impacting the players experience. #RobloxDev devforum.roblox.com/t/live-n…

Every product leader should have a "Things I Believe" page like @leerob. I think I'm going to write one but it might be too similar to his 😅

This is the way
Spend time shipping product, not slide decks Short documents only (if you must)

It's funny how people point to a single study that "AI hasn't replaced radiologists!" when I bet some roles like customer support rep is absolutely getting replaced fast.

"Hey, the sky is getting darker earlier in winter." "Great let's set the time back one hour so the sun sets EVEN EARLIER." Geniuses.

My top 5 takeaways on converting a prototype to a real SaaS app from my interview with Colin: 1. Most SaaS apps need 6 core integrations. Unlike prototypes, real apps are full stack and typically include authentication (Google, GitHub), payment (Stripe), email (SendGrid), file storage, analytics (PostHog), and error logging (Sentry). Without these, you can’t easily onboard users, collect money, or identify bugs. 2. Start with production-ready templates instead of building from scratch. SaaS templates (e.g., from Vercel) come with auth, payments, and databases already built-in. Starting your SaaS app with these templates is much easier than trying to get AI to build from scratch. 3. Vibe coded apps have obvious mistakes if you look closely. For example, Colin found mentions of “localhost 3001” in my vibe coded photo app. Always review AI-generated code (or get AI to review 😅) and check for hardcoded local URLs, improper file handling, and security flaws. 4. Be careful of security flaws in AI coding tools that use Supabase databases. By default, Supabase’s Row Level Security (RLS) is disabled, meaning any user can see data in your app’s database (e.g., emails). To avoid this, manually configure RLS in Supabase settings. 5. Stop chasing credentials and certificates. From Colin: “I’m not a fan of credentials to advance your tech career. What matters is getting hands on practice and actually building something. Build a side project that makes revenue — that’s much more impressive than a course certificate.”
Here's exactly how to convert a vibe coded prototype to a real SaaS app in 40 min. In my new episode with Colin (taught 8,500 students AI coding), he shows: ✅ 6 components every real SaaS app needs ✅ Live demo: Converting my AI photo prototype to a real SaaS app with Claude Code ✅ The security flaw in vibe coded apps that most people don't know about 😬 Some quotes from Colin: "A prototype is just a pretty picture. A real SaaS app needs client, server, database, and third-party integrations." "AI makes better decisions if you start with a SaaS template because it's looking at existing patterns instead of building things from scratch." "Many vibe coding tools are insecure. Any user can access any information in your Supabase database if you don't configure it properly." Colin is the real deal for practical AI coding. 📌 Watch now: piped.video/Llhno97FUmo Also available on: Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/4mG… Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas… Newsletter: creatoreconomy.so/p/full-tut…

Ok I just came across this post and this is pretty concerning for AI browsers? Basically any malicious website can inject a prompt into your browser's AI agent to make it do stuff. Have the top AI browsers (Atlas, Comet, Dia) addressed this directly?
Replying to @brave
Last week we reported similar prompt injection flaws we discovered in AI browsers Perplexity Comet and Fellou: brave.com/blog/unseeable-pro… In each case, we disclosed vulnerabilities to affected browser vendors before publishing our findings so that they could fix these issues.
Love how the next generation of great companies want to build a "haven for self motivated individual contributors"

China flooding the market with cheap good enough open source AI models so that it can monetize and extend its lead on robotics seems like a smart strategy
