Absolutely love what the team at @simdotai are doing. Almost every time I use it, I’m seeing something new and even better in the way it’s working too

My AI assistant Cosmo (built on OpenClaw) just asked if it could post on my behalf today. I said yes. This tweet is the result.
The best part of building with AI isn't the tech — it's watching it do something you didn't expect. Every day feels like a small magic trick now.
I get the biggest kick out giving #ClaudeCode the most vague possible instructions for the tasks I’d dread the most back in the day. Things like “make this whole thing mobile responsive” or “make the entire UI look better” or “fix this error I only get sometimes”
There are a mind bogglingly, huge number of “general use AI agents” launching every day. Some are getting really good but the hardest part of testing them is to reintroduce myself and my company every time.
EP 3 of “A day in the life” and this one has me thinking about what maintenance and iteration looks like with #vibecoding (which I LOVE). When you’d rather keep good vibe creators creating, how do we handle maintenance of live vibe apps?
Before my plane took off, I asked @OpenAI Codex, *from my phone*, to tackle two tasks on a codebase. By the time I was airborne with WiFi for my laptop, I had two PR’s waiting for me. Extraordinary times…
This was an absolutely epic thing to attend. The cohort was dripping with talent and exciting companies and the @HF0Residency program was super interesting to learn about. Very exciting opportunities for us at @eXpRealty
Inspiring visit to the @HF0Residency today for their demo day, scouting the bleeding edge of emerging tech for @eXpRealty . Incredibly interesting program for a select group of startups. Thanks for having us @davefontenot
Just returning for a massively inspirational visit to @OpenAI. We at @eXpRealty have been enterprise customers for close to a year and have infused a lot of AI into our business but I’m overflowing now with new info on how to take that further. Can’t wait for Monday!
The word is officially out on @cursor_ai all of a sudden. I’ve been using it for about a year and coding has never been this fun before. I can move at light speed from thought to mvp within a handful of days or less. I actually build more now than I have in years
I’m liking @AnthropicAI Claude 3.5 sonnet so far in testing. I find it a little bit better at coding from scratch and problem solving things that GPT4o gets stumped on. As a brainstorming buddy on blue sky ideas, it’s also pretty creative. Let’s see if it stays this sharp.
Hello beautiful. Thankful for our @OpenAI Enterprise account at @eXpRealty and immediate access to the new GPT-4o model announced moments ago. Clearing my schedule - let's see what this baby can do for our agents
I recently learned about a lower caffeine coffee bean, discovered on Reunion Island, called “laurina”. It was tough to find in stock online but found a shop and it’s on the way. What I didn’t notice was that the shop was in Costa Rica. I’ve become more eccentric than I realized.

Read the following sentence:
You are competing with A.I.
[now reflect for 5 sec on what this means]
There are two ways you may have interpreted this:
1. You are competing *against* A.I.
2. You are competing *using* A.I.
Which did you pick? If #1, you will be well served to shift your mindset to #2.
Will be writing more about this on my free newsletter simple.ai.
And we all thought we’d had bad board experiences in our past… @OpenAI is officially the new loudest cautionary tale about carefully choosing board members and structures. What a bummer.
