Tech moves fast, but you're still playing catch-up?
That's exactly why 200K+ engineers working at Google, Meta, and Apple read The Code twice a week.
Here's what you get:
Curated tech news that shapes your career - Filtered from thousands of sources so you know what's coming 6 months early.
Practical resources you can use immediately - Real tutorials and tools that solve actual engineering problems.
Research papers and insights decoded - We break down complex tech so you understand what matters.
All delivered twice a week in just 2 short emails.
CONTROL YOUR ENTIRE DESKTOP REMOTELY
Claude can now control your computer and complete tasks for you, not just assist.
Anthropic just introduced a new capability that lets Claude actually use your computer. Open apps, navigate your browser, fill out spreadsheets, run workflows.
You simply pass it along and receive a finished product in return.
Claude uses integrations like Slack or Calendar first. But if there’s no connector, it can ask permission to operate your computer directly.
You can assign a task from your phone, walk away, and come back to it done.
You can also set recurring workflows like:
daily inbox summaries
weekly reports
cross-tool updates
Tell it once, and it runs in the background.
And more importantly, you’re still in control.
Before Claude takes action, it shows you the plan. You approve, adjust, or redirect. You choose what apps and files it can access.
The early use cases already go beyond simple tasks:
generating daily briefings across Slack, Notion, and GitHub
analyzing markets and outputting full reports or slide decks
synthesizing customer feedback across multiple platforms
organizing complex legal documents into structured timelines
It’s essentially moving from “AI assistant” to “AI operator.”
OUR TAKE
If this actually works the way it’s supposed to, your to-do list just… disappears.
If you’re bad at delegating, now’s a good time to learn 😉
QUICK HITS
beehiiv rolls out MCP to turn your newsletter into a data layer for AI: beehiiv’s new MCP lets tools like ChatGPT and Claude connect directly to your account to analyze performance, surface insights, and build workflows using your real newsletter data.
Google introduces “vibe design” with Stitch: Google is pushing design toward intent-driven creation where users describe ideas or feelings to generate full UI concepts inside an AI-native canvas with real-time iteration.
Cursor launches Composer 2, a cheaper frontier-level coding model: Anysphere’s new model is approaching top-tier coding performance while being significantly cheaper, signaling how quickly application-layer tools are catching up to frontier labs.
OpenAI shuts down Sora and pivots away from AI video: OpenAI is discontinuing its Sora video-gen product and stepping away from video tools entirely amid mounting concerns around misinformation, non-consensual content, and copyright infringement, as well as growing pressure to cut costs and reduce risk.
Stop typing prompts. Start talking.
You think 4x faster than you type. So why are you typing prompts?
Wispr Flow turns your voice into ready-to-paste text inside any AI tool. Speak naturally - include "um"s, tangents, half-finished thoughts - and Flow cleans everything up. You get polished, detailed prompts without touching a keyboard.
Developers use Flow to give coding agents the context they actually need. Researchers use it to describe experiments in full detail. Everyone uses it to stop bottlenecking their AI workflows.
89% of messages sent with zero edits. Millions of users worldwide. Available on Mac, Windows, iPhone, and now Android (free and unlimited on Android during launch).
PASSIVE INCOME FROM AUTOMATIONS
Build & sell AI workflows for local businesses
⏱️ 10–20 minutes | 🔧 Needs: Zapier, OpenAI, and basic tools like forms, Stripe, or Calendly
Why build this? Most local businesses know they should be using AI, but they don’t have the time or technical knowledge to set it up. That right there is your opportunity. Instead of building complex software, you’re connecting simple tools to solve real problems like missed leads, no-shows, and inconsistent marketing. These workflows are quick to build but can be sold as high-value systems ($500–$1,500+ per setup) because they directly impact revenue and efficiency.
Steps:
AI lead response (instant replies to new inquiries)
When someone fills out a form on a website, trigger an AI-generated response immediately.Trigger: New form submission (Typeform, Webflow, Google Forms)
Action: OpenAI generates a reply (confirm request + ask follow-ups)
Output: Send via email or SMS
This helps businesses respond in seconds instead of hours, increasing their chances of winning the job.
AI review request (automate Google reviews)
After a customer pays, automatically send a personalized review request.Trigger: New payment (Stripe or Square)
Action: OpenAI writes a short, friendly message
Output: Send via SMS with a review link
This turns reviews into a passive system instead of something businesses forget to ask for.
AI social content generator (weekly posts done for them)
Automatically generate social media content every week.Trigger: Weekly schedule in Zapier
Action: OpenAI creates posts (hooks, captions, CTAs)
Output: Save to Google Docs/Notion or schedule via Buffer
Now the business stays consistent on social without needing to think about what to post.
Missed call follow-up (recover lost leads)
When a business misses a call, instantly send a text to continue the conversation.
Trigger: Missed call (Twilio)
Action: OpenAI writes a quick apology + follow-up
Output: Send SMS automatically
This alone can recover leads that would otherwise be lost, making it one of the highest-value automations.
AI appointment reminders (reduce no-shows)
Send automated reminders before scheduled appointments.Trigger: New booking (Calendly or similar)
Action: Delay until 24 hours before
Action: OpenAI generates reminder
Output: Send via SMS or email
This reduces no-shows and can even include upsells (like add-on services).
Expected outcome:
A set of simple, repeatable AI automations that solve real problems for local businesses. You’re not building anything complex, just connecting tools in a way that saves time, captures more leads, and increases revenue. That’s why these can easily be packaged and sold as high-ticket services.
