"You probably went on Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, whatever it is, and you just typed... This is me using Cursor cloud agents — it says 'proof of improvement' and this is a video of the agent at work using the app."
▶ 2:48"We have a consistent scheduled job running on Cursor cloud agent that always checks every single day at a specific time for those issues."
"at some point I think I was using it with cursor and I told it do a bunch of things. I'm like yo this model gets it and it's fast and it feels great."

"Tell your Codex agent, I want to run a performance update. My pages aren't as fast as they need to be. My API calls aren't as fast as they need to be. Please review my entire app and suggest a performance update. I did that for one of my apps and speeds went from 800 milliseconds to literally 20 to 30 milliseconds."
▶ 2:18"Whenever I'm working on user-facing stuff, I have it synced to my Mac. I'll just jump on the Codex app. And to your point, with browser, with the computer use and stuff like that, evidence-driven testing just becomes super, super powerful."
"When you combine computer use with loops with the right tools for the job, I don't think there's an app that people can't build. Your software factory is Codex — the only thing that was missing is a super powerful model like GPT 5.6 Soul."

"I connect something like Linear — I use Linear for issue tracking. You can use whatever, Notion, whatever — and I basically tell my agent: build this feature, the success criteria is you use computer use, if it does not succeed fix, repeat, and once it's done come back to me."
▶ 10:51"A product person will say, 'Oh, we found this bug,' and leave a Linear ticket. With Linear, you can assign work to a person, but you can also assign work to an agent."

"I told the agent, I have Blender installed. Can you use it? I know that it can use it. I just wanted it to set up a connection. It did that. And I asked it to create a HomePod-like speaker. And it did. I asked the agent, can you use Blender to show me the setup of this project? And it showed exactly how I would have each thing laid up."
▶ 12:52"If I want to build 3D stuff, the first thing that comes to mind is Blender. Blender has an MCP. I go to Blender, copy the MCP instructions, paste it — boom."

"I have an OpenClaw agent that has its own email, right? Every time I get an email from like a sponsor, I forward that email to the agent."

"Sincerely, there isn't an app I don't build without Convex. And this one reason is the only thing — it's entirely code. I know people are going to call me a shill, but I do work there, and genuinely, it's the tool I use for every single app."

"I really like Eve. The reason being is the decision behind how an agent is constructed. The file names and folder names give a description of what they do — agent.ts, skills folder, tools folder, sandbox. They constructed the framework with file names, and the agent has access to all the files, so making changes and reproducing things is so simple."

"There's this skill called GP loop which uses a third-party service named Greptile, which is a code review agent. If you're really serious about building software and it's going to be used by users, I highly suggest using some code review agent. Greptile is my favorite. It leaves summaries and gives feedback — and gives a confidence score. The agent will take the feedback it got, go back to build, and loop until that standard is met."

"What this skill allows with like a Cursor or a Devin cloud agent is it basically tells my agent to actually produce evidence of said bug not working and said bug working."

"I'm talking about the HomePod. If anyone has the HomePod, Siri is terrible, but this is the best-looking speaker, in my opinion. And I just got to thinking, what if I could put my agent on the HomePod?"

"Instead of building the thing from scratch or using AWS or using whatever low-level primitive, they're just going to build using these tools and it just makes it so much easier."
