It's a nice counterweight because you can sometimes feel insane for being intimidated for something like the command line.

I think the accessibility of these programs is going to change really, really quickly though.

Not only do you have Anthropic themselves releasing ClaudeCodeWork, which, while not there yet, is meant to be a new type of interface for non-coding ClaudeCode tasks, there are also other tools like Conductor that are replacing the terminal interface with a GUI.

Nat Eliason accidentally caused some controversy on Dan Schipper and Evry's VibeCodeCamp when he said the CLI is the Stone Age from two months ago.

GUIs are back.

He followed it up and said, I did not realize how controversial this would be.

If you're still using Claude and Codex in the terminal, you're missing out.

You should absolutely be in Conductor.

Other people agree.

Notion's Brian Levin said that on an average day, he's spending 5% of his time in Figma, 15% in Cursor and Cloud Code, 20% in Ghosty, and 60% in Conductor.

Lenny Richitsky asked his followers what the most under-hyped AI tools were, and Conductor came in second behind only Whisperflow, which is the one that I mentioned here a bunch of times.

Speaking of vibe code camp, if you want to take everything I've talked about here and really start to go deep, like I said, Dan Schipper and the team at Every recently did an eight-hour live stream with tons of really great vibe coders talking about all the different things that they do.

I'll include a link to the live stream as well as a summary app that someone built with all the takeaways from all the different people.

Summing up really quickly, if you want to know in a very short statement how things are shifting this year and how the most successful vibe coders are trying to evolve, it's all about extending and expanding the autonomy of the agents that are doing the coding.

It's about removing themselves as a bottleneck and seeing how much can happen in the background when they're doing other work or even when they're sleeping.

Anyways, hopefully now some of these terms don't seem quite so crazy and inaccessible.

I'm sure we'll continue to come back to them for now.

That is going to do it for today's AI Daily Brief.

Appreciate you listening or watching as always.

And until next time, peace.
