Soooo Thariq has straight up changed my life with these 5 words: "HTML is the new markdown." It's so obvious in hindsight: while .md is simple to write and agents can read it well, it's a total slog to eyeball as a human. In this special ep recorded live at Code with Claude, Thariq walks me through how he: - uses HTML artifacts as interactive specs - builds throwaway micro-UIs - maintains a living design system in HTML - prompts Claude with "whatever is needed" to give it room to actually think He also tells us what comes after the SWE + PM role 👀 As always, a huge TY to our amazing sponsors: 🔀 Celigo - Intelligent automation built for AI: 🪪 Persona - trusted identity verification for any use case: Watch now on YT:

"I avoid prompting at all costs." That's techbimbo, a brand designer and AI creative director who has spent thousands of hours in Midjourney building a system that lets her create consistent, beautiful brand imagery with AI -- without complex prompting and srefs. In this ep you'll see: - how Pinterest mood boards communicate your aesthetic to Midjourney better than text - how to build a personalization code so Midjourney learns YOUR taste specifically - her FLORA © flow for fixing and delivering final assets to clients This is by far the prettiest episode of How I AI, and has already changed how we make thumbnails for the podcast.

good news: /goal in codex has solved all my problems bad news: i'm sitting here twiddling my thumbs while the agents do all my bidding it's no secret i'm a little bit obsessed with codex, and /goal is a big part of that. i put together a 30m ep on /goal including: - what it is - how to write a good goal - how to drive bug zero with Vercel Sentry and codex - two non-technical use cases for goal, including cleaning up 4,000 emails over 4 hours A HUGE thank you to our wonderful sponsor, Mercury - radically different banking loved by over 300K entrepreneurs:

While your team is just getting started vibe coding prototypes, the team at Stripe is vibe coding a full vibe coding platform. Owen Williams ⚡ is a design manager at Stripe who built Protodash - an internal AI prototyping tool that lets designers and PMs spin up real, clickable prototypes in minutes. In this ep he walks through: - why generic AI tools produce "blurple slop" that doesn't match your design system - how he built a full prototyping studio on top of dev boxes with cursor + cc - why more PMs than designers now use Protodash - the design review mode that lets teams ship feedback direct in the app Plus, we talk about getting to the ultimate dream: demos, not memos. ty to our sponsors! 🧠 CESAR - Intelligent automation built for AI 💻 Cursor - The best way to code with AI Full episode on yt:

As an EM, running engineering standups where everyone's dead-eyed and reciting what they worked on is, in Ryan Nystrom words, a huge waste of time. So he built a Notion AI agent that preps his team's standup before the meeting starts, so he can code right up until it begins. In this ep he walks us through: - The "Hot Potato" 🥔 custom agent that scans Slack, GitHub, Honeycomb, and yesterday's meeting transcript every morning at 9am - How he @-mentions Codex from inside a Notion task and gets a full PR back in 10 minutes - Spec-driven development: talking into Whisper → spec → one-shotted implementation - Why CI speed is now your AI adoption ceiling Plus he shares why this is his favorite prompt: "I literally don't know what I'm doing. Explain it to me." ty to our sponsors! 💼 WorkOS - Make your app enterprise ready today 🔀 Orkes - The enterprise platform for reliable applications and agentic workflows Full episode:

Anyone can build, and agents are the new user. Jason Levin is the founder of Memelord Technologies, and built a meme app to $100K ARR on Bubble before vibe coding was even a thing--and now he's letting his marketers loose in Cursor to acquire users any unhinged way they can think of. In this week's episode, Jason and I cover over 10 AI workflows including: - plugging memelord into OpenClaw🦞 for fully agentic viral videos - a no-screen/no-voice way to capture ideas in the dark without waking his wife - how his marketing team vibe codes free tools that pull hundreds of thousands of emails He also tell us why why agents are about to become memelord's best customers: "they don't overthink, they just yolo straight to the tokens."

I'm really loving Claude Design more than I thought I would, so much so I blew through limits on 2 (!!!) accounts testing it. So here it is, the $200-in-overages Claude Design review + walkthrough you've been waiting for. I show you: - how to set up (or steal) a design system - why I think product marketers are sleeping on Claude Design - who I think this product kills (spoiler: not Figma) - my nits + feedback, which mostly have to do with latency--so much time sauteeing onions--and how every time I test an anthropic product, I get rate limited before a magic moment. BONUS: I walk through the brand new ChatGPT Images 2.0 model, which gets rid of typography slop and improves significantly on layout work.

When I asked my friend bryce rattner keithley 🧩 what she learned as a non technical person using AI to build an app she said: "well, I got really good at copying and pasting" 😅 Bryce has spent her entire career in talent and recruiting. She is, by her own admission, not technical at all. And yet, she just shipped a consumer fitness app to the App Store. In this week's ep, we go through how: - Replit ⠕ for the app, started from a single prompt - Google Gemini Higgsfield AI 🧩 and Kling 3 to animate animal personal trainers for each exercise - Claude as technical architect -- she even opened terminal for the first time to use claude code If you're afraid to jump in, don't be!

2 moms, 5 mac minis, 7 kids, infinite OpenClaw🦞 ideas This episode with Jesse Genet might be my favorite How I AI yet 🦞🦞🦞 🦞 🦞 After a tricky start, I finally found my groove with Polly the Clawdbot, and most of that was thanks to being inspired by Jesse. She shows us: - how she runs her homeschool using Obsidian, her iphone camera, nano 🍌, and openclaw - why she decided to invest in fat stacks of mac minis, for physical partitioning of her personal data - what an army of AI agents can do for a busy mom of 4 who "wants it all" Plus we talk endlessly about how AI is perfect for parents aka people "with no hands."

Sure, everyone loves Claude Code but if you ask non-coders: they're all obsessed with Cowork. JJ Englert at tenex is one of them, and he's giving us the power user's guide to getting started with Claude Cowork. In this ep, JJ walks me through: - How to set up Claude Cowork projects (hint: it's just a folder on your computer) - His "brain" file: a doc that tells Claude who he is, how he works, and who he works with, so he never has to re-explain himself - 3 AI agents with different personas that review your work before you share it with real humans My favorite take from this ep: Cowork teaches you the mental models of Claude Code without ever opening a terminal.

Episode 5 of How I AI is how I learned I was using Cursor all wrong. My friend Ryan Carson shows us the way with his genius 3-step AI coding workflow. If you’re trying to build bigger projects (or even whole companies!) this one is for you. You’ll learn how to: - use 3 cursorrules to bring structure - generate PRDs and task lists - make good use of context windows - build as a solo founder Ryan is not only using AI IDEs better than most people I know, he’s generous in open sourcing his work and sharing insights online. I learned a lot of practical things and you will too.

ICYMI Stripe ships over 1000 AI-written pull requests every week with their team of "Minions." I got Steve Kaliski to show me how it works. The trick? A happy slack emoji + great dev tooling. Each Minion spins up an isolated environment that lets engineers run dozens of agents in parallel without melting your laptop (or getting them into each other's code). Great for human engs, and a better way to make your background agents successful. In this ep, we walk through: - How Stripe reviews all those PRs (without losing their minds) - Convincing your team to invest in DevX - How to kick of dev tasks from the subway Steve also uses the 🤯 Machine Payments protocol to have his autonomous agent plan a matcha-themed bday party for $5.47 BIG thank you to our wonderful sponsors: 🪄 Optimizely - Your AI agent orchestration platform for marketing and digital teams: 🚀Rippling - stop wasting time on admin tasks, build your startup faster: Full episode out now:
