This will be a good one! Going live in about ~30 mins

Spending a lot of time iterating on how bots send me stuff. They're only as productive as I can manage them!

Before: Almost dinner? Let's wrap this up and ship. Now: Almost dinner? Let's plan 3 (big) things to queue up for the orbs night shift...

Giving each of my Grok Bots an email address (agentmail) feels like a huge unlock. The chat experience is nice, but chaotic and hard to be productive with a "team" of bots. Emails give me exactly what I need to receive reports, approve decisions, get progress updates, etc.

If you're curious about building with orbs in the cloud, I'm running a live workshop, demo & Q&A today at 2pm ET. Join us!

The idea of a "super app" for work with AI doesn't work for me. Different tools for different jobs: Building with cloud agents: Amp Hand-writing & editing: Flywrite Deep research projects: Codex Background tasks: Grok Bot Strategic thinking: ChatGPT & Claude

The robots haven't learned of parentheses (yet).

This is how we work now. Multiple projects happening. Each orchestrated by a lead agent delegating to sub agents. Each working on their own machine (orb) with @AmpCode. What a time.

I miss freely using an mdash when it's actually warranted.

So much of my multi-tasking is just preliminary research: "Here's a complicated thing that needs to happen soon. Research the complexities, consider our options, and map out what our starting point should be." Then I cycle back around and dive when I'm ready to "get into it".

Depends so much on the training. I have a lot of docs on positioning, ICP, and voice that train mine. Still it's always a collaborative process. I do multiple rounds of edits with it, especially for site copy.

Tried it but found its UI/UX to be much worse than amp.

Moving from 1:1 with AI to orchestrating multiple cloud agents has been a major level up in flow. Some frustration at times with model nuances. I'm not sure about Astra yet. Nothing new there.

All my work happens on orbs (cloud agents) now. I work working through one "orchestrator" who spawns a few team members (code implementer, copywriter, designer, etc.). Each on their own orb. Sometimes in different repos. Often using different models. All talking and coordinating with eachother.

I'm already doing all my work from the cloud (orbin' on @ampcode.bsky.social). Working from mobile more than ever now. The idea of the iPhone Duo is getting more appealing 🤔
