So with one prompt I made a simple web app in @figma Make that turns .md files into nested tabs that are color coded and easy to navigate

"But how are AI agent browsers ACTUALLY useful?"
Good question! Here is one of my favorites: when context is spread out across browser tabs, have the agent do the work without copy & pasting it all yourself
Example: I have a 7 post thread in @chatgptapp Canvas in one tab
But I want it draft

@OpenAI has been releasing new features and products like crazy
But this is the single best @chatgptapp update that no-one is using
Now we just need the chats nested under the main branch in the sidebar instead of duplicating the chat name exactly

+ has a modal to change underlying model
+ knows how to use the Notion platform (so many other built in AI tools can't use their own app well)
+ bonus points for c

Clear makes the layer more transparent so the content beneath shows through.

First time not paying for ChatGPT Plus since Feb 2023. GPTs were a rug pull with no updates or monetization. Voice mode declined while Perplexity passed it. Got Enterprise through work. OpenAI seems focused on flooding the web with AI slop via Sora. Done.

POV: you work in tech now and they actually respond to tech requests in a timely manner
In the education world: this would never get approved AND if it did, it would take 14 messages in a thread and 5 meetings over 4 months

This note from a young person is better than any paycheck. Here's the lesson he & I have both learned:

I'm a big believer in "behaving your way into success"
It's easy to see what it takes to be success

OpenAI launched apps inside ChatGPT yesterday. The Figma integration is useful but also weird: you can now create FigJam files on mobile through ChatGPT…but not through Figma’s own mobile app.
