The Every.to site where it's obviously ripped from is here: every.to/consulting
You can see pretty much the exact same image: every.to/assets/consu...
In an era of AI generated possibilities it's wild to spot just like boring plagiarism out in the wild. Pica OS like blatantly ripped this image off of Every's website: www.picaos.com/images/ai/Ha...
You can kind of tell in the url but you can also tell because Every.to has this style consistently
Gave a Claude Ralph loop the task of replacing my Bento site (which is shutting down) with a whole new page and links. It crushed it in 15 minutes with a very clear set of improvements over the original: me.benhofferber.com
Made a few tweaks but love the way it interpreted the style from my sites
Kinda scary how good the Anthropic team is getting at actually building productivity tools that solve problems
It later deleted a series of .pem permission files I'd downloaded (don't need those - better regenerate them anyway) lol
It's definitely a nice interface thought and falls right in line with where I've been wanting to push UI for AI
Cowork by Claude is an easier to configure Claude Code. But be warned, I do find it's pretty sketchy to use since it's in beta still. Asked it to organize my downloads (after backing up!) and it deleted files that were too big to copy (so lazy!)

I've kind of enjoyed what it Opus 4.5 produces out to excalidraw diagrams. However, it does end up blocky pages in structure instead of flows similar to wireframes. It also struggles to leave enough room for text when wrapped in boxes
Aqua has been one of the stickiest voice applications that I've enjoyed using. I feel like, for some reason, it interprets me better than any other tool I've used for capturing my voice. Definitely a recommend going into 2026.
Use my code if you want but it's just good aquavoice.com/share?code=B...
In other news benny.stablediscussion.com has fully moved off of Smithery and now has a much simpler setup! While we had a few weeks of downtime I'm happy to report things are back in working order again!
A harbour of disappointment that highlights what it feels like to be looking for a good MCP server host once the one I relied on no longer worked out
Smithery has become so unreliable for MCP hosting that I'm moving off of it completely. Their own servers aren't reliable and I'm frustrated they seem to be leaning into being a MCP-powered ChatGPT wrapper instead of becoming the infrastructure company they initially indicated. Oh well...
New post on Antigravity, Google's new IDE.
My initial impressions offer a more nuanced experience than the chipper attitude of this presentation which should help you get a balanced perspective.

Feels like every AI release I try this week is broken.
Claude Code for Web is awesome but I can't seem to figure out when servers are running or not. They seem to just stop responding at times but sort of work better on the mobile app for some reason...
So far my Cursor 2.0 experience is very underwhelming...
Tried Cursor 2.0βs new cloud agent. It pushed changes to a branch fine, but then got stuck looping its own edits and stopped responding to new requests. Web version seems better at this point.. which is funny in it's own way
Claude Code on Web is more awesome than I thought. Initially a bit skeptical but the UX is chefskiss
An AI browser isnβt very high on my list of things I want these days but thereβs a lot of perceived need with Atlas coming out. Perplexity is feeling the pain I guessβ¦
Meanwhile Iβm just over here vibing with Dia :)
If you're noticing app weirdness today AWS's US-East-1 servers are having degraded stability: health.aws.amazon.com/health/status
Noticed the Starbucks app was pretty unresponsive this morning and had to order in person which was uncomfortable for all involved
Clause Skills are essentially Claude Code Commands that can run within your Claude App.
I love doing AI tasks on my phone on the go but this still doesnβt feel like it for me.
Definitely cool but I donβt think Iβll be able to step away from Claude Code long enough to adopt
Been on this for a few years too. Very solid!
Gemini 2.5 pro in Cursor was able to figure it out because I could shape the context of what it knew better around the problem rather than just relying on Claude Code to try to figure it out. These tools are cool but still important as ever to know escalation paths to solving problems
The bug actually happened because we earlier added a click handler on the parent component it would immediately re-open the modal. That on its own seemed like a good change and without context for the underlying modal on the clicked element, it didn't seem to impact much.
Claude Code works really great until it hit's a problem that is sufficiently difficult. Just hit a wall where it wasn't able to understand why a React modal was kept open and the close buttons weren't working to close it.
Getting tips on where to go next in a video game when I'm stuck is my most common genre of AI conversation.
I talk at my computer to dictate things but it's rare that I want to have a conversation with a yes-man.
Even longer therapy-lite conversations end up just being a way to collect my thoughts
voice feels like a useful but ugly step child for OpenAI right now. Definitely harder to integration test as they expand the models to do more
Anyone else having ChatGPT voice conversations that wildly change pitch during conversation. Feels like talking to a broken animatronic from a horror film at timesβ¦
I had early access to what is Claude 4 (I don't know which mode yetl, they had codenames) & I have been very impressed
Fun example, this is what it made in response to the prompt: "the book Piranesi as a p5js 3d space. do it for me" - just that, no other prompting (note the birds, water, lighting)
Feels like ChatGPT is hanging on by a thread these days.
Rough prompting happening on 4o, images failing to generate repeatedly, chat unable to edit documents, memory keying in on the wrong detailsβ¦
Itβs hard to build an AI experience and stay at the edge of all AI. Someday they may need to focus.
Realizing that some of the things we attribute to AI were already trending before AIβ¦
Specifically small mostly senior teams has seemed to be a multi-year trend at startups Iβve interacted with.
While AI didnβt help, I think we have the causes wrong on this one but the discussion is on rails now
Now I'm setting my sights on 10K subscribers and beyond! The AI landscape continues to evolve at breakneck speed, and I'm excited to keep documenting and discussing it with all of you.

I'm incredibly grateful for everyone who's supported this journey so far. The constant experimentation, the late nights, the uncertainty of finding our niche - it's all been worth it to build this community.
