Please go do these things.

And it's like clicking around inside of Google Cloud and setting stuff up for me.

I'm sure for developers, this would be terrifying for them, but I was able to get what I was trying to get done, which is basically allowing my

It's a personal tool I built for myself called podcaststudio.com.

It helps me with all my podcast publishing and editing, and it allows me to publish two-hour-long podcasts now.

Anyways, I was adding that capability.

I wasn't able to do it.

I don't really know all the technical reasons why, but you needed to beef up our back end.

I was able to get Claude Code to do this.

So obviously this is a very powerful tool, but it's not perfect.

And I think Claude and Anthropic really are trying to put a big push, and that's why they're going and acquired Vercept.

Now, another interesting thing about this is Vercept is a company, it came out of AI2, which is Seattle's kind of

AI-focused incubator.

It came out of the Allen Institute.

But anyways, their co-founders have a bunch of ties to the institute specifically.

They worked with a lot of researchers.

One of them, Matt Detick, he was kind of in the news last year because he negotiated a $250 million compensation package to join Meta's superintelligence lab.

And so recently they had also raised, like Vercept had raised $50 million in total funding.

And according to their CEO, Kiana Esani, who basically kind of posted about this acquisition on LinkedIn recently, Seth Bannon, who's from 50 years, led the investment and was serving on the board of the startup.

And they previously had about a $16 million seed round last January.
