The Neuron: AI Explained
Google AI Studio Deep Dive: From Vibe Coding to AGI with Logan Kilpatrick

I think that's where the, like one of those user journeys is that people care a lot about.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Google AI Studio Deep Dive: From Vibe Coding to AGI with Logan Kilpatrick

I think the one you're describing of like large code bases that already exist, this is actually one of the even more complex problems that AI has to solve.

The Neuron: AI Explained

Because that like text to prompt use case actually works pretty well.

The problem with the large code bases, if folks haven't,

The Neuron: AI Explained

had to experience this before is like, there's just lots of like context buried in a bunch of different places.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Google AI Studio Deep Dive: From Vibe Coding to AGI with Logan Kilpatrick

And it's really difficult to sort of orchestrate this together.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Google AI Studio Deep Dive: From Vibe Coding to AGI with Logan Kilpatrick

And this is like a very human problem.

The Neuron: AI Explained

Like I feel this way sometimes in some of Google's code bases, because they're large and there's lots of teams contributing to them.

The Neuron: AI Explained

And as you sort of try to form an intuition of how these different pieces of software are connected together, it's actually not easy to do that.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Google AI Studio Deep Dive: From Vibe Coding to AGI with Logan Kilpatrick

And that goes to this like emergent,

The Neuron: AI Explained

sort of framing of the problem around context engineering, where people are trying to build systems.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Google AI Studio Deep Dive: From Vibe Coding to AGI with Logan Kilpatrick

It's not based on the user prompt.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Google AI Studio Deep Dive: From Vibe Coding to AGI with Logan Kilpatrick

It's not like trying to do a bunch of optimization based on the user prompt.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Google AI Studio Deep Dive: From Vibe Coding to AGI with Logan Kilpatrick

It's trying to do a bunch of optimization on like getting the relevant data to actually help answer the user prompt.

And I think that's the large code base stuff like some of the most, you know, insert again your favorite AI coding tool.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Google AI Studio Deep Dive: From Vibe Coding to AGI with Logan Kilpatrick

This is some of the sweet spot and the magic of what they figured out is like how to actually go and get the right context to answer questions and use all these like more traditional code understanding tools like graph techniques and things like that to understand the relationship between different parts of a code base.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Google AI Studio Deep Dive: From Vibe Coding to AGI with Logan Kilpatrick

And I think that's actually working pretty well.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Google AI Studio Deep Dive: From Vibe Coding to AGI with Logan Kilpatrick

Like I could imagine that continuing to scale up and sort of be good enough for even the most large code bases to work really well with these tools.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Google AI Studio Deep Dive: From Vibe Coding to AGI with Logan Kilpatrick

Yeah, you're spot on.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Google AI Studio Deep Dive: From Vibe Coding to AGI with Logan Kilpatrick

I think this is part of the challenge for us from a product perspective is we do have this huge breadth of what you can do now from actually writing code and building a bespoke app to we have...
