No-Code

I’ve been watching AI agents evolve for months, and most of them share the same problem: they’re built for people who already know how to code. Anthropic just changed that. Their new feature called Cowork runs directly inside the Claude desktop app, reads and edits files on your computer, and requires nothing more than typing what you want in plain English. ...

I’ve used Google Search since I was fourteen. For most of that time, the interface was a thin white rectangle and a blinking cursor. You typed two or three words, hit enter, scrolled through blue links. Last month, at I/O 2026, Google announced they’re replacing that box with something that expands as you type, accepts images and PDFs as input, and actively helps you formulate complex questions. It’s the first redesign of the search box itself since Google launched over 25 years ago. ...

🎧 Prefer to listen? Your browser does not support the audio element. $200 a month for Claude Code’s Max plan buys you a phenomenal coding agent. It also buys you vendor lock-in, Anthropic-only models, and code that lives on Anthropic’s servers. I’ve been testing Goose — a free, open-source alternative built by Block and now governed by the Linux Foundation — and the gap between “free” and “$200/month” is smaller than you’d think. ...

I spent last Tuesday morning watching a coworker spend 40 minutes scrolling through Slack to find a single client quote from three weeks ago. When I told him Slackbot could have found it in ten seconds, he didn’t believe me. That’s when I realized most people in our workspace had no idea what Slackbot became after Salesforce’s 2026 rebuild. The old Slackbot set reminders and responded to a handful of preset commands. New Slackbot is a different product entirely, powered by Anthropic’s Claude model. It understands natural language, summarizes conversations, searches across your messages and connected apps like Google Drive and Salesforce, drafts replies, and takes actions in tools — all from inside your Slack conversation. No extra install needed if your workspace runs on a paid Slack plan. ...

On June 17, a Chinese company called Z.ai released an open-source model called GLM-5.2 — and it beat GPT-5.5 on multiple coding benchmarks. Not “almost matched.” Not “close enough.” Actually beat it. At roughly one-sixth the cost. ...

On June 12, 2026, the Trump administration ordered Anthropic to pull its most powerful models — Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5 — offline. Not because the models were broken. Not because Anthropic did something wrong. Because a jailbreak was flagged as a national security risk, and the government gave Anthropic 90 minutes to comply. ...

I’ve been making AI music for months — I even released an album without knowing theory — but there was always one problem: you couldn’t legally use someone else’s song. That just changed. Spotify and Universal Music Group signed a licensing deal that lets Premium users generate AI covers and remixes of licensed tracks from participating artists. For the first time, you can take a song you love, run it through an AI voice model, and share the result — without getting a takedown notice. ...

I’ve watched a dozen project management tools promise “AI-powered” workflows over the past two years. Most just added a chatbot that summarizes tasks. Asana’s acquisition of StackAI for $75 million is different — they bought the actual machinery to let you build AI agents that do work across your entire software stack. If you’ve ever wanted your task manager to stop being a passive list and start acting like a teammate who updates Salesforce, pings Slack, and files tickets without you lifting a finger, this is the deal to pay attention to. ...

If you’ve been hearing developers lose their minds over Claude Code lately — and you’re sitting there thinking “that’s great, but I don’t code” — I have something for you. A small research lab called Nous Research just released NousCoder-14B, an open-source AI coding model that anyone can download and use for free. And the part that matters for people like us? It was built to be completely transparent and reproducible, which means the free coding AI tools you’re already using are about to get a lot better. ...

🎧 Prefer to listen? Your browser does not support the audio element. I used to spend 45 minutes per blog post just recording voiceovers—finding a quiet room, doing multiple takes, editing out every “um” and “ah.” Then I discovered ElevenLabs voice cloning, and now it takes about 30 seconds. If you’ve ever wished you could clone your own voice to create consistent audio content without the production headache, you’re in the right place. ...
