Oh so it’s not about cheating anymore?

It's the best time in history to be a builder.

There's a huge gap between a vibe coded prototype and a real SaaS app. Tomorrow, I'm dropping a new tutorial with my friend Colin (taught AI coding to 8,500+ students) where he converted my vibe coded app into the real thing with: ✅ User authentication ✅ Payment processing ✅ Email integration ✅ Error logging ...and more. He also showed me how most vibe-coded apps have security flaws that exposes user data. 😬 📌 Subscribe to get our full tutorial tmr: piped.video/@peteryangyt?sub…

I can't tell you how many times I've seen a decision get made in a Slack thread and then someone has to do the manual work to: → Create the issue → Summarize the thread (maybe with AI) → Assign it to the right person I should just be able to @ mention an AI agent in any thread for it to summarize the thread and create the issue for me. @Linear's new AI agent for Slack is exactly what I'm looking for. I'm excited to delegate all the busy work to agents so I can focus on what I enjoy more.

What’s your favorite AI app or tool that you used recently and why was it useful or good? Rules: 1. You can’t promote your own tool 2. Would love to try some lesser known ones (not ChatGPT)

"There are many AI influencers out there whose job is to create hot takes and clicks." Here's Wade (Zapier CEO)'s advice on how you can separate the signal from the noise: "You can tell who is using the tools and who is just regurgitating headlines." The people who actually use these products can immediately tell the difference between OpenAI's Agent Builder and automation tools like Zapier, n8n, and Make." So the next time you see someone go viral with a "RIP (company)" post, just remember that they're losing credibility with the builders (and CEOs) behind the best AI products. Use the tools, then share your learnings. That's the better path.

Great deep dive by @ttorres on Claude Code

For power users, Cursor is also useful for more than coding. It's useful for: - Writing specs and PRDs with AI - Going straight from idea to design prototype I had a great chat with Ryo about the latter. Will share the interview here in a few weeks: piped.video/@peteryangyt

Cursor is fast becoming the standard for AI coding tools (if it's not already). I find it funny how @cursor_ai is unifying around this agent view because I guess even developers don't want to look at the files and code unless necessary 😅

Updated my AI model capabilities table. Here's my favorite model for each task: 1. Everyday answers: I use ChatGPT because GPT-5 is fast, concise, and almost never hits rate limits. 2. Writing: Claude is my main editor. I give it examples of my best writing and it just gets my voice. This is 80% of my AI usage. 3. Coding: I like Claude Code but some of my friends swear by Codex with GPT-5 high. It's wild how fast OpenAI caught up in AI coding. 4. Deep research: I like Claude because it generates 5-page reports that I'll actually read vs. 30 page essays. 5. Video generation: Veo 3.1 might be the better model but I enjoy Sora more to make videos of my family and friends. OpenAI gets AI + social. 📌 Watch my new video on exactly how I use AI for each task plus Projects and Deep Research: piped.video/vfBMNaE5kRo

I create an AI project for every product I work on. Here's exactly how I set it up: 1. Attach Google Docs directly These docs include my PRD template, reference material (like Deep Research), and voice dictated notes. This way, AI always has my latest updates. 2. Specify output style in the prompt For example, my preferred style is: "Use short bold stems followed by 2-3 short sentences so it's easy to skim." This way, AI always writes how I want. 3. Get AI to iterate on your prompt After a long chat where AI finally nails the output, I ask: "Can you update the prompt to one shot this?" This way, AI always helps me improve my prompt. This is just 1 of 9 Projects that I use daily for product, creator, and personal work (see below). Tomorrow, I'm sharing the full setup for all 9 plus when to use GPT 5 vs Claude 4.5 vs. Gemini 2.5. 📌 Sign up to get the full guide tomorrow: creatoreconomy.so

Zapier's social media manager deserves a raise 😅

This is true - people really don’t care about your credentials they just want interesting insights and a great story

My top 5 takeaways on AI workflows vs. agents from my interview with @wadefoster (Zapier CEO): 1. Start with agentic workflows, not agents "When people say they want an agent, more often than not they just want an agentic workflow. The latter gives you more determinism, reliability, and cost advantages." (middle of the diagram below) 2. Focus agents on one specific task Wade's email agent does one thing: triage 100 emails down to 10 priorities using categories like action required, for EA, and FYI only. The best agents are laser-focused on a single task. 3. Chain automations over time “Start with narrower tasks like generating a prep doc, then work your way up. You’ll realize maybe I could actually chain these things together and do something way more impressive.” 4. Treat AI like junior employees you’re training “Instead of me answering all these emails, I’m thinking what new instructions I can provide to the AI so that it does a better job.” Review AI's outputs, give feedback, and ask it to update the prompt to get to your desired output faster. 5. Use AI as a thinking partner, not a thinking replacement When I talked about how I write docs with AI, Wade shared: “You’re using it in a smart way - you’re going back and forth with it and providing context. That’s very different than somebody who just turns in AI’s initial output as their homework.”

I went on a run today and basically listened to @SunoMusic the entire 30 minutes. I think there's a big opportunity for Suno to do what Sora did for video - generate a personalized playlist with songs in my favorite genres and moods. Maybe even personalize the lyrics.

“You can’t memo your way to being AI-first. You have to practice your way there.” This is the central truth. AI fluency is a skill built from hands-on work and weekly small experiments. piped.video/1MHv4M163Vo 👉 Great interview with Zapier's CEO @wadefoster.
