AI Tools You Should Know

Welcome to Syntax. Today, we're gonna be talking about AI tools that you should Deno. And these AI tools are all kinds of different things, whether that is stuff to help you in your your day to day or possibly even some coding stuff, but just really possibly little tools and tips and stuff that you might not have seen or tried yet. My name is Scott Tolinski. I'm a developer from Denver. And with me, as always, is Wes Bos. What's up, Wes?

I was while while you're doing the intro, I was just trying to adjust my my seat. It was there we go. It was going too far back. I hit the wrong knob, and I just went I went all the way down.

Should do a whole episode like this where I'm just at the bottom.

Yeah. Excited to talk about the the different AI tools that we're we're using right now. I think, like, the one thing that I know let me get up here. The one thing that I keep telling myself is, like, don't get comfortable in in the tools that you're using.

Because even even with Cloud Code, you know, like, I I kinda brushed it off for a couple months. I was like, you know, I'm I'm happy with Cursor. And but, like, after talking to how many people are using this type of thing, I'm like, I gotta, like, keep a bit of an open mind with these I'm missing something. Give them all a good shake before being like, ah, that doesn't seem that useful.

Yeah. Give it a good shake. Yeah. Cool. Well, are you ready to get go? Actually, before we do that, if you're given anything new, a a new shake at all, whether that's a new coding language, new anything, or even you have an app that is, starting to gain traction or anything like that, you'll want to be using Century at century.io.

It is just a wonderful tool for solving your problems. We all got problems. I got problems. Wes got problem. I don't know if Wes has any problems, honestly. I got plenty of problems. Okay. Well, we all got problems then. And Sanity is the perfect place to solve those problems because, let's face it, there's too many other problems to deal with to have problems in your code base. And, Sentry gives you tools to solve those problems. They give you tools to have visibility into those problems, whether that is a slow application or a buggy application or even just being able to truly understand what your users are doing and how and why.

So check it out at century.i0/syntax.

Sign up and get two months for free using the coupon code Sanity treat. And guess what? Century is like.

I I you know, Century's always just been a tool that's evolving, but, man, they're going through some awesome stuff with new UIs, new tools, new features, and the product just rules, man. I I this it's just one of these things that they're not resting on the fact that they have a good product. They're

consistently turning it into a The new UI is awesome. And I I is is that out for everybody now? Like, I know that you can turn it on, but is that I think that's the default now.

I'm not sure. If you if you want to give the new UI a try, the little question mark help thing, and then there's a switch to

new navigation, I think, is the the way it's listed. That's very very good. It's like it's it's amazing that they can simplify the UI or the the menu so much, but you still get all of the same amount of information

and and all the information you need, which is probably most important. Right? Yeah. Give me the information I need. Make it easy. And Sentry absolutely does that. Alright.

You need to stop talking about Sentry now. We love Sentry folks. Sentry actually has some really cool AI tools. We should do an episode on that at some point. The first one I wanna talk about is one that I wasn't even aware of until JS Nation this past little bit ago.

JS Nation React Summit just happened.

I was emceeing. Many of you may have seen me up on the stage introducing q and a. A lot of, like, really amazing speakers. A lot of cool people were there. Huge, huge crowd.

And, man, what a great run conference. They always are.

Either way, Tejas Kumar did a talk on LangFlow and langflow.org.

And I was just one besides, he's an incredible speaker, so, like, he could be talking about something I'm not interested in and it's still gonna be captivating.

But this tool really did catch my eye as being a a really interesting tool.

And what it does in, even just reading their tagline, it's a powerful tool to build and deploy AI agents and MCP servers, and it comes batteries included and supports all major LLMs, vector databases, and a growing library of AI tools. This thing is a node based editor. So, if you've used any other node based editors, Comfy UI is a node based editor, DaVinci Fusion, node based editor, Max MSP. Basically, you have Bos, and you're connecting,

like, patch cables to the boxes to do things. Right? You got boxes. You got inputs. You got outputs. You got little things that come in and out. You connect them to each other.

Yes. And so you might have an input that is a chat input, and you might have an output that is a chat output. Right? And you put an AI, model in between there, you got a little chat window, right, an AI chat window. But the demo that he did, I thought Wes really, really interesting because he did a demo that was live on stage where he JS connecting a box to essentially browse the page of the schedule for JS Nation. Because this is the whole point was about, you know, these interfaces, website interfaces are also varied and wild that you might not be it might not be easy for you to get the information you need.

So either way, he connects an input, chat input. He connects it to the website.

He connects it to an agent, and then he connects it to, I believe, an MCP server to integrate with goo, the Google Calendar.

And he was able to say things like, what time is Shruti's talk at? And then it would just tell him, Shruti's talk is here. Right? And then add that talk to my calendar. Right? Contextual blah blah blah. And you could build these little widgets and little tools with your own API keys in seconds just by connecting these things.

And if you look at their tools that they connect with, it is just a massive amount of stuff, whether that is, you know, Supabase or Slack or, you know, even Upstash or Perplexity.

There's a lot of little things that you can connect here and there. And we had been talking in the last episode we recorded about Wes is, like, the if this, then that kind of these things. And this would be a Node necessarily an if this, then that, but it does give you a lot of tools to connect many different services on your own via a nice little UI in a way that you could really see that as being like a power user type of thing Wes, like, oh, I really wanna do this then this and this and connect it together.

And instead of maybe writing the code or going into a chat window and cursor and having the MCP servers connect, you can build, like, reusable workflows and things like that. And I found that to be just simply lovely.

So Langflow is my first one, and I I thought this was great.

I believe it's open source, so you can check it out on GitHub.

Very cool stuff. What's the idea? Is this there's a company behind this? Because I went to, like, download it. I tried to check this out a while ago, and it it, like, makes you put in the email address. And I immediately was like, oh, this is some corporal BS. I don't know what to do with that.

Yeah. It's by DataStax.

DataStax has their own AI agents production AI agents. They have their own product and pricing.

Yeah. So this is just the tool itself that you can download and use on your own. Oh, so there's no there's not a subscription fee here because it's you're simply just connecting things that like, you can connect anything. Right? You can put your own API keys in. You can probably It's all your own. Yeah. Have local models? All your own API keys. Yeah. Oh, okay. Cool. And it's a it's a Python app that you download as a desktop app.

Yeah. It's it's really great.

I'm a node based UI kind of guy. So for me to have a node based UI for doing this type of thing seems like a really nice,

thing. So, yeah, give give Langflow a check. I think this Wes pretty neat. Next one I have is I was working with John Wes, who is really into a lot of this AI stuff. He's obviously the guy that started, Egghead.

And we recorded a little episode of, like, his how he uses his computer, and he's next level in thinking of how to use all these things. And one of the tools that he was using that I had written off for a while, which was an app called Super Whisper.

And there's another one called Whisperflow, which Kenzie Dodge is using, so I'm gonna give them both a good shake. But the idea with both of these is they are desktop applications that do voice to text.

And I had written off these things for the longest time because macOS has voice to text built in. I hit my control key twice, and I can dictate what it is I want. And I think if you are not using voice to text and and you're just typing like a barbarian, you I highly recommend hooking up one of these tools to a hotkey on your keyboard so that when you wanna type something, you just hit the microphone key or whatever, and you just speak what it is you want. Now these tools, Super Whisper and Whisperflow, they use Whisper, which is a open source model for doing speech to text.

But what they do is they they are better. Like, what I just did right there, I said, but what they do, they they you know how I, like, kinda stuttered there? MacOS would just literally take every single word that I have and put it in there, and I have to then take it out. These these apps are better. See, I just did it right there. I said, these these apps, that that's just how naturally we talk. And They're more better. Would it correct you if you said more better? At at dictating it. And then, of course, they they have a whole bunch of features where you can add in words that you say a lot, and that's huge for people like you and I Wes we're always saying these random made up coding words. Sanity.

Yeah. Yeah. Exact that's the biggest problem is getting them to recognize the word century as not c e n t u r y.

And I specifically was trying Super Whisper first, a, because it's Canadian, and and, b, because that's the one that John Link Wes was using. But you can also download additional models. You can use the one in the cloud, you can stream it to the cloud, or you can you can download local models and run it on your machine if you have a fast enough computer. The one thing that it doesn't do is it doesn't do like real time, streaming of the text, which Mac OS does. I really like that. As you're talking, you can see what you're saying in real time.

This one, you have to, like, say it and then Scott, and then it generates the actual text for you. I assume that that would probably come because I've used Whisper before, and you can stream the output, as you're talking. You don't have to wait for it to to be finished.

Yeah. Do any of these work on iOS as well? I don't know how you would integrate that with Bos, considering the text to speech is so baked into the OS. Whisperflow

says it has an iOS app. Okay. So I would assume it's just a custom keyboard. Right? Yeah. But switching keyboards sucks on iOS. It's so slow. Yeah. So I don't know if that's but the one on iOS is actually pretty good, especially that as you're talking, you can just like stop talking and then you can you can type stuff, move your cursor around and then continue talking. Like it's not like you're in dictation mode or out of it, it's kind of fluid.

So I'm a big fan of the macOS one, but I these apps will probably get Sherlock at some point via macOS just implementing this

same thing. But iOS has never fixed their keyboard, and their voice to speak text to speech has always been kind of dog shit even if you can type in the middle of it. But I do use it kind of nonstop. I I just wish there were some of these nicer features like, yeah, correcting certain words or Yeah. I don't know. Yeah.

This looks nice. I do use a lot of text to to speech so or speech to text. Speech to text. Yeah. So I'm gonna I'm gonna give these a a good shake over the next couple weeks instead of using the built in macOS one. And I'll try the the iOS app and see how that fits into my flow.

Yeah. It's I'm I'm quite surprised that Raycast hasn't done this yet. That seems, like, ripe for Raycast adding this feature. Yeah.

Raycast is probably gonna be needing to work on some new features after, this macOS announcement recently.

Oh, yeah. Because macOS announced, like, Raycast ish features.

Yeah. They're just, like, enhancing. Yeah. Definitely Raycast ish.

And you can use a shortcuts app in them. The shortcuts shortcuts app in macOS and on iPhone is actually really powerful, and I don't see a lot of people use it. So I use it's just I I don't have any I I highly doubt Apple will the thing about like Raycast is it's like power users developers first and like I highly doubt Apple's gonna put out something where you're like there's gonna be these little edge case bugs that they'll never fix. Yes. They'll never.

So frustrating. So I I don't feel scared for for Raycast. I am excited that macOS is putting that in, though, because, like, it's just everyone who uses a computer should have that kind of productivity.

Yeah. I agree.

Although, I'll I will tell you what. Getting Courtney to use Spotlight to open anything JS, like because she'll just, like, go into her doc and click on it or whatever. I'll be like, you know, you can do command space bar and just type in what you want. And she's, fuck. Okay. Thank you.

Yeah. That drives me nuts. Yeah. That's Wes I was teaching, like, a boot camp, it was really nice because I could just show people how I worked.

Yeah. And a lot of people would be like, I wanna do that. I want I see I see that that JS much faster, you Node, rather than telling people how to do it, because they're just like, I can't be bothered.

Yeah. Yeah. For sure.

Next one here is something that may maybe people have heard of, or maybe they haven't, or maybe, they're very bitter about this. Because let me tell you, we just released our browser our browser episode about the state of web browsers. And I gotta say, man, people are really, really intense about their browser choices. I mean, I feel like we knew that, but, like, people are either really angry or they're very, like, your your browser sucks or whatever.

But one thing, one very common thread was that a lot of people were very angry at the browser company for sunsetting Arc. And I get it. I like Yarn. Yeah. Right. So. Yeah. Arc was my my favorite browser.

Here's actually two camps. People were like, Arc has always sucked, and, you you were bad for liking Arc. Or two, I loved Arc, and I will never trust the browser company again.

I understand both those.

But I will say this tool, since I got access to the beta, it says dia, d I a, browser, so diabrowser.com.

It's an early access for Yarn member. So if you've used ARC in the past, you can just download it and, give it a rip.

I think this thing is the start of what we're going to be seeing from browsers in the future here coming forward. Because this, in many ways, is like cursor in your browser.

You can reference tabs directly. There's a kind of constant chat window about any of the tabs you have open. You can ask it questions about a YouTube video even. So if you have a YouTube video open, you can ask questions directly about the YouTube video itself.

You can compare several tabs at once. Like, you can reference tabs. So, like, if, let's say, you had several different hotel options, you could at and reference those various tabs of those various hotel options and ask it questions.

I think that is, like, really pretty neat. And in practice, the when you command t to open a new tab, the search window that you get is either a search window or a chat window, as in it can be both of them at the same time. So by default, when you go to open a new tab, you can either just type in a URL.

You can type in a question.

You can type in something you wanna actually search for, and you can reference tabs. You can reference other things. You can reference websites. You can, get answers directly there. And to me, this is starting to break the barrier of the like, instead of you and I will say this. I've been using this now for, like, a week, and I have not opened chat g p t since I started using this because it's Sanity, what's the point? I command t. It's already got a chat window. I start typing, or I'm asking it questions directly about something that's happening in my browser, and it's all just there.

So, fundamentally, how I work has already changed in, like, the week that I've been using this browser. It is in beta. I I have seen a couple of things that people who are Arc fans will like. I've seen on Twitter them saying that the sidebar is being implemented.

So the sidebar navigation, I believe, will be coming back for people who are bitter and upset about that. Two, I think there's one major feature that I would love to see from this that does not exist, and that would be the ability to, like, truly interact with the page via the chat window. Let's say I have a spreadsheet. I would love to be able to say, make these modifications to the spreadsheet and have data do it, which you can't do right now. I I do think that is something that they are working on, but I don't know for sure. Yeah. What does it do? It's just a chat app

that knows about your open tabs and can answer Wes? Node

of the cool things is that there is a, like, a default profile for you.

How do you like to learn? What do you like to to like, so for instance, if if Diya knows that I learn primarily best through video, when I go to search and ask it for something like, let's say, a question about a video game, And instead of, like, going to Google and searching for answers about this video game, Dia knows that I'd like to learn via video.

So if I ask that question to Dia, Dia JS going to give me links, but it's also going to give me YouTube videos directly in those results that are directly related to the thing that I'm asking about. So it's kind of like a mishmash of perplexity with something like Like like a bit of memory. T p t Yeah. And then being able to reference tabs.

So there's a lot of little features that I haven't necessarily gotten deep into it, but, like yeah. You Node, you're you're on a website. You have a question about some text. You can highlight that text and then ask the question directly in the browser, you know, with, like, one click. So I I highlight some text, ask Diya, ask Diya about this, and then the Diya will will go off. And it can do more research, and it can find additional links. And, yeah, it's not, like, revolutionarily different, but there's enough niceties in this thing that, like, it's already changing the way primarily that I'm I'm browsing and interacting with Internet.

Now the one thing I don't understand about any of these new paradigm of browsers is what's Node like, mobile. Everybody's using mobile. Like, why why release a desktop browser as the main interface? This thing would rip on mobile. Why why isn't this a mobile

first browser? You know? I don't know. Yeah. That's maybe they're they're going for, like, their audience, which is power users to be their their early access.

Yeah. And then

once it once they have product market fit, as they say, maybe they'll move into something that's a little bit more mobile. Yeah. If If you wanna get more, like, use cases for this thing, their website has a a number of, like, here's all the different things you can do with it that are are currently supported or whatever. But either way, a lot of people were wondering, why would you ever use something that the browser company made after what they did to you with Arc? They didn't do anything to me with Arc. They made a a a free browser, and then they they they,

they sunset it. Like, okay. Yeah. That's right then. You can people have the right to be pissed about that. You know? They Sure. Pulled the rug on it, and people But there were If you get really excited about a tool no. But, like like, we're we're also pissed at all the stuff. Google sunsets, and I I won't pay for most of that stuff as well. You know? Like, you hope that a company has your your best interests in in mind, and especially when you get you spend you spend your time. You invest in a product. You know? Yes. You invest your time. But

Dia imported all my ding Arc settings and all my workspaces and all my logins, and, like, next thing you know, it's like, yeah, the UI is different and it's slightly different, but all of the stuff that I've accumulated in Arc is still here. Yeah.

Yeah. So I I mean, I'm not that mad at it, especially because this browser JS good. If this browser sucked, then maybe, yeah, then maybe I'd be pissed about it. But it's good. So

I don't know. I'm pretty hot. Yeah. You gotta think OpenAI has gotta put out a browser soon because it makes so much sense to browse the web with the chat rather than the chat just give you some external links that you can click off to

if you need them. Yeah. Especially, like This definitely verifies that to me because I'm like I said, I have not been opening ChatGPT.

I've been using this.

Yeah. And especially that it can access stuff that's behind a login, like OpenAI.

ChatGPD can't do that, and then, like, that's the whole promise of of MCP servers.

But Yeah. Surfing the web is the original MCP server. So it makes sense. I'll give it a shot.

Yeah. Give it a rip. I'll give you an invite. It JS, It has been, one of those things that I I have done a one eighty on from being like, well, I'm, I'm out on the browser company to being like, really? They got it.

Yeah. Browser company has hands, for sure.

Let's talk about, like, chat apps and and things that you're you're paying for. So you what do you what are you paying for right now, and and what do you I guess you're reaching for Diya right now as your main chat app? Yeah. I'm using Diya as my main chat app, but I do pay for chatGPT, t, especially because that's what Courtney has gotten really used to using.

So we we, just share a chat g p t. I also do pay for Claude, but that's it.

I got you. I pay for Raycast.

I was using Raycast as my, like, main chat app for probably over a Yarn.

But I have been pushing myself a little bit more to chat GPT because, a, I really like the memory stuff that it has. So I was trying to translate some shirt sizes into, like, American sizes.

And I just took a screenshot of it, and I was like, what should I do? And it's like, you're five ten, two hundred pounds.

You probably should do this. I was like, oh, man. It it knows that. You know? And I was like, that that's kind of nice.

So I like that. I like the obviously, the image generation stuff is really good. I've been paying for MidJourney for probably three years, but I think I'm at about a point where I'm gonna cancel MidJourney because ChargeBT is is just good enough. And the other thing about the Raycast is that the Raycast AI opens in its own, like, window, which is really Node, and and you can go through it. But it just it doesn't have desktop app a desktop icon, or, like, there's something weird about it being a pop up where I feel like I'm gonna lose it. It's weird. It's always been weird. I can't describe what that feeling is.

And the other thing is that, like, I have this nice cobalt two blue theme for Raycast, but it's not a good theme for viewing text.

And there's not a lot of control in a Raycast theme. So I I switched it to white and black to see if it's a little bit more comfy, but it just feel a bit more comfy in in chat g p t, which it doesn't make sense because you can it's way cheaper to to pay for Raycast.

Because it I think it's, like, $8 a month or something like that versus 20 for for chat g p t. So, like, you're saving quite a bit.

I have not used Raycast really ever for,

AI stuff. Like, I I like Raycast, but I primarily use it for window management, launcher, etcetera, etcetera, those types of things. Yeah. Yeah. It's it's really good, especially, like, it's, like, time to answer is really fast. I know ChechiPT has a desktop app, and then you can you can set up a hot key or whatever. But my hot key for almost everything is Raycast, so it's kinda nice being able to do it cause you just type in the box and hit tab. You don't even have to open a I have I have I have caps lock a to go straight to the AI app, but you can also just ask something straight away in the Raycast prompt and hit tab and it will it will fire it off there as well. So

give it a Scott. Send him more time in dia for that. Yeah.

Yeah. Command dia. And then I was on Deno seek for a while because I felt like, like that at one time Deno seek was like by far the best and it was free. And, like, it was doing search searching the web for a while. So every now and then, I'll I'll dip into DeepSeek and and see how it JS, but it's it's kinda funny how you're just bouncing all over the place trying new stuff. I don't think regular people are doing that, though. I think regular people are probably just using ChatGPT, and they don't really know Node much more.

Totally.

What about self hosted stuff? I have dove into Comfy UI because, specifically, they have a desktop app now, which, man, running the Python thing was really tough for that. You know, Comfy UI is interesting because you you're you're basically generating node workflows, but it is kind of a a wild world of, like, connecting these things.

Like, if I wanna generate an image of a computer programmer sitting at his desk or whatever, I have to then, like, research which models to use, which all the stuff to use, and then I click go, and then I wait an hour, and then maybe something comes out. Maybe I wait maybe I wait three hours, and then something comes out, and maybe it sucks. So as far as, like, I'm not doing anything on it. I am like I am like, let's give this a rip to see how the hell this thing works. Alright. I I got it to I got it to produce this. Okay. And then that's it pretty much for me.

Yeah. I've downloaded Compu UI.

I've downloaded all the models specifically for a lot of the stable diffusion stuff, which is Mhmm. Anybody who has, like, one of these, headshot generator startups, they're almost always using, like, stable diffusion.

And, like, it's kind of a weird world. I I realized very quickly that a large portion of the, like, self hosted

comfy UI is just people making, like, inappropriate anime stuff. It is it is I joined I joined the comfy UI Reddit, and then I unjoined it about ten seconds later. I was like, holy cow. These folks are way off the the right here. Yeah. There's gotta be No kidding. Way worse stuff happening

behind the scenes. Yeah. It's a Bos skeevy world. Does a very good job at there's one plug in for it, which JS, like, a face mod, which is you can take people's like, basically, I wanted to, like, make YouTube thumbnails of myself, and I wanted to feed it a a photo of my face and be able to generate a YouTube thumbnail. And this was before you could do this in JADGPT.

And in order to get the, like, face dupe stuff to work, you have to, like there's a couple hoops you need to to jump through, and they're explicitly they do not host ones that will will do anything bad around adult stuff or child stuff and and whatnot, which is is good. Yeah. I know that that that a whole thing can be good. Yeah.

Yeah.

Company UI, it's, it's been pretty good. The one thing that kills me though, is I just, I run out of space on my computer so fast because these models are twenty, thirty gigs, you know, you got two or three of them and, and then like we're downloading, we're streaming ourselves and recording ourselves. That's like, 50 gigs for an hour or whatever.

So I often when I'm, like, scrambling to free up space on my computer, I'll just delete those models. And and now that I have super fast Internet, I don't mind having to redownload them.

For me, here's what I found. I have a Mac mini back there. I just throw that shit on there because, like, what what else do I have on Mac mini? I have my tech server. So and then I don't have to bog down my or, like, my actual machine. But I haven't I I haven't tried to do any video.

I would imagine that would cause my entire computer to blow up. Yeah. You gotta have a serious, serious machine

to be able to run this stuff at any I I think where this stuff is really big is someone who is generating lots of content, but they don't necessarily care about how long it takes. So some, like, garbage Etsy seller is making 20,000 tumblers of, like Mhmm. Whales shaking hands with bears that say dads are the best if their name is Bert. You know? And then they'll there's just, like, every possible permutation on sublimated on a crappy Tumblr, put it on Etsy. Yeah. Those people are using these to just generate absolutely every single combination

there. Yeah. That would be wild to be using this stuff for anything other than just,

Alright. That works. Cool. You know? Yeah. I think it it will probably get better, but also, like, running running local models is is getting better. It is getting faster even, like, in the browser. I had a whole talk on it, especially with Wes GPU now. Yeah. But some of these really big ones are some a bit of a bit of a resource hog. Yeah. For sure. Alongside comfy UI, there's automatic one one one one and forge UI. Those are sort of alternatives as well. Seemingly, like, competitors or similar tools to Langflow, I have only dipped into automatic one one one one and Comfy UI. So I'm gonna have to give these other ones a a good shake as well. Is this automatic primarily based around image generates? It does say stable diffusion web UI. Yeah. If you've ever used, like, hugging face or anything like that, it's kind of a similar it might even be the same Yeah. Hugging face. Yeah. The same interface of it as well. But, yeah, if you wanna be able to use Stable Diffusion to make, like, Lego version of yourself or whatever, it's it Wes it it probably not so much anymore, but it was a very good business to fire up these, like, turn your child's photos into a coloring book Yeah. Yeah. For for $6 or things like that. There was or or headshots or all of these different things, you know, touch up your face for dating profile images.

I do think that the image generation stuff is probably, like, the least exciting thing for me because it does it creeps me out, like, the the fact that people are getting fooled on all kinds of stuff these days, and it's just like it it's a little, like, not my the thing I'm most interested in, which is why LangFlow is interesting to me because it's much more, like, productivity based, which I'm a productivity, fan. By the way, speaking of Hugging Face, I met our homie, Node Joshua Lochner at Oh, yeah. Nation.

What a just wonderful dude. He had a a great talk and just a super cool guy. So I got to interview him on stage even. Oh, really? He's the author of transformers JS, which allows you to run local AI models in JavaScript, so in the browser or a node, things like that. And, yeah, he sent me a he sent me a photo of you guys, and I was like, woah. Face reveal. Because, like, when he came on the pod when he came on the podcast, he was not comfortable even showing his face. I'm like, when you he said he's speaking at that conference, I was like, that's for sure remote. There's no chance he's gonna do a face reveal, but he did.

That's a yeah. What a cool guy. So yeah.

Shout out to Joshua.

Yeah. Cool. Well, that's all I got. Folks, what kind of AI tools are you out there using that we didn't mention, coding or otherwise? I know we just did a coding tool, a coding, agent show and stuff. So but I wanna know what kind of stuff specifically you were using because let's face it. This is, like have you ever seen one of those images on on, Twitter that's just like, here are the 20,000 new AI tools, and you're just like, I don't have time to look at all these. So Hate those guys. Yeah. No. These these are ones that you probably wanna check out,

but let us know if we missed any.

Okay. Now it's time for the part of the show where we do sick picks and shameless plugs. I got a sick pick, and it's a kid's card game.

My kids got this while I was in Amsterdam, and I think it was just so they would have something to do while I was away.

And it is the the game is called Rat a Tat Scott.

And it's kind of an educational game, but, man, our kids love Sleeping Queens and a lot of these card games that they've been playing.

And this game, you can get for, like, $12.

It's a card game. It's super easy to pick up. Again, my kids are, like, six and eight, but I think they probably could have played this at five and seven. No problem. Maybe even younger. It's kind of you got, like, a memory game. There's some math involved.

And my daughter, who is six, like, cannot stop playing this game. She wants to play it every night, and it's quick enough where you can rattle off a game in about, five minutes if you want. You can play a whole bunch of rounds. And, that way, you know, if somebody like, I lost every game the other night, but, I know my my kids can get a little upset if they've gone through several games and haven't won once. So the fact that, you can play enough games that eventually somebody probably different will win is, it's Node.

But nice a nice little card game for kids.

Yeah. You can get it for $12 on Amazon. It's really, really nice.

Sick. I'm going to sick pick our hats, which is kind of a shameless plug as well. But, by the time you're listening to this, you should so we got we got the Syntax one right here. Right? Then we got the Internet one, which currently sold out, but we got a whole bunch more on the way. By the time you're watching us, they probably are back in the shop.

And then we also got the Syntax felt ones. And like, let me tell you, these these are high quality hats. This is not just a, like, a floppy hat that someone embroidered, and then, like, they it's like a crappy swag item.

These are, like, hats that you're actually gonna wear. These are high quality hats. Look, they're all it's all custom.

Look at that syntax tape inside, custom tags. There's a spelling mistake on the tag because I forgot to fix it.

All kinds of really good stuff. So if you want a nice hat, check out, what what's what's the URL of our store there, Scott? Century.shop.

Century.shop.

And, click on the Syntax collection, and Century's actually got some pretty sick t shirts. I wore my dead click t shirt yesterday. Yeah. And my daughter was asking what a dead click was, and I was like, well, you know, on your iPad, when you you click on something and it doesn't nothing happens after a little while, she's like, yeah. I hate that. I'm like, that's a dead click. And then I was, like, trying to explain that there's also rage clicks when you tap it multiple times. And she's like, oh. I'm like, the Sentry will fix that or at least show you what happened,

Wes in. She's like, okay. That that makes a lot of sense. So Yeah. Check it out. Check it out. Love this. Love it. I I wore my Syntax hat all day every day in Amsterdam. So I said I don't know about you. When I go traveling, it it's hat time for me. Although it it has often been hat time for me very frequently.

Hat time for me, definitely traveling. Don't have to deal with a bunch of stuff. Cool. Well, thank you so much for listening and hanging around with us. We will catch you in the next one. Peace. Peace.
