I made a post about this the other day! I think it's a sliding scale – you can use agentic coding in a more-professional or less-professional way. Post as follows: — I have a take on vibe-coding for professionals. TL;DR: If you’re not

Thanks for trying it! It's not open source, but it is a single-page app. You could download the source and run it locally. The web app is calling Jina Reader under the hood. If you needed something a little different, it wouldn't

Right – I had the same concern! I thought that the notifications were going to be fictitious. It sounds like that’s not the intention, though. Might be a good idea to update the copy!

Thank you so much for this question, and for your thoughtful post below. It's really easy to put privacy and security to one side when you're launching a startup. And lots of users don't mind privacy when they're signing

Footnote to add that it works with Google Workspace accounts, too!

Oooh, thanks for the report! It looks like Firefox doesn't have dithering on gradients. (There's a bug report, but it's been opened for 14 years!) The gradient animation is super-subtle :) Do you think I should disable it for

It's using OpenAI's API at the moment, actually. An offline model could _probably_ handle the conversation and tool calling, but it just needs to be really fast to keep up with conversational speeds. (And really, GPT-4o is a bit t

ps. Check out https://pocket.computer/dungeons if you just want to try the original ‘D&D meets Siri’ voice stack. It doesn’t require a login.

It’s coming! The screenshot on the right of the homepage is a placeholder for the impending video. (It won’t be fancy, but I want to at least give people a sense of what they’re signing up for.) Thanks for the note and for checking out the

I had to pass the Google CASA audit and implement a ton of security procedures. Basically everything is encrypted, we don’t store your emails, verified best-practice for session tokens and so on. I probably went a little overboard to be hon

Nice! I’d love to check it out when you’re ready to share it. I’ll likely release the source code for mine if/when I publish the DSL. In the meantime, since the original link has changed, feel free to try it out at: https://

Thanks for trying it! You can draft emails and reply to threads as well, actually! And if you're unsure of what to say, you can throw some hints at the agent and it'll generate a draft in your tone of voice. (The agent analyzes yo

Oh cool, this is great! I love the aesthetic. For this demo, the app architecture really depends on users sticking (more or less) to the scripted options – if they want to progress with the story. I’ve included something in the prompt to en

Hahah, alright Merlin! That is so far from the narrative arc I had planned, I don’t even know what to say, lol.

by chrisnolet 2y ago
Do you ever tell players that they flat-out can’t do something? Do players realize when they’re going off-script? (Do you let them know with a sigh or a long stare, or do you just roll with it and encourage the playful creativity?) I like y

So firstly, I think there’s a sliding scale here, between structured narrative and hands-off emergent storytelling. If we assume something in the middle: While we might not be able to predict that you’ll encourage the farmer to (try to) ove

Hahah, yep – I’ve had a few of those moments myself! I think adding an option to change the voice is the #1 most frequent request that I’ve gotten. Time to dig through ElevenLabs and see what else I can find! :)

100%. Putting on flying shoes to escape any situation isn’t actually all that fun, (after the first time). The trick is to figure out how to put appropriate guardrails and narrative structure on an otherwise too open-ended LLM. If you just

Wow, this is great! From a quick read through, the structure discussed in the paper is very similar: dialogue trees with fuzzy matching, and actions that materially alter the state and the available options going forward. I have to admit, m

Ahh, yes! I’d love to add an undo. (There is a rollback system on the backend, but I use it for when the AI gets ahead of itself and starts speaking too early. I could repurpose that for undo.) But otherwise, adding a text field shouldn’t b
