This is really cool... Last week I played with this tool... and I like how they have trained this tool for this specific purpose. It understands the context a lot better than other tools I have tried.

It does! It’s great to start on this, not as complex as cursor, while also a little more customizable than lovable. What did you make? Product?

I am trying to make templates for emails. Not the full email templates, but snippets like signature blocks, call-to-action blocks, etc. It will generate the code, with a preview, and then I just have to paste the code in an HTML/CSS code block in my email.

Oh that’s genius! That should save a lot of time

This is such a powerful reminder. Curiosity and clear communication are now more important than coding skills, and AI tools let leaders turn ideas into functional solutions almost instantly.

Great post, Joel - Inspirational story & many strong takeaways.

I especially like the inclusion of the "If You Only Remember This" section.

I remember doing something like this with my daughter 8 years ago (she was 6 at the time). We created an app in Sketch where you could take clay and turn it into a finished sculpture by "working" the virtual clay on your iPad. But we only got as far as visual prototypes. Now we could create a working app!

That’s awesome, Mike! Great memories

This is so cute! It really feels magical to think about how the next generation will grow up working with all these superpowers.

Also… tell me your daughter didn’t use this exact prompt you’re sharing here 😄

Joel Salinas's avatar

She did!!! That’s the exact transcript of her dictation :)

Jenny Ouyang's avatar

Wow, so impressed by her intelligence!
