@ray_deck @cursor_ai @GoogleAI @whimsical @home_assistant Just tried Google AI studio screen capture. Feels so futuristic.

It's only a matter of months, at most. I already "talk" to AI using speech-to-text tools and copy/paste visuals into chats (Gemini 2.0) for processing. And OpenAI's Operator and other "computer use" demos can theoretically collaborate within my favorite visual tools (@whimsical, @nocodebackend, @weweb_io, @figma). So in a way, it's already here. It's just early. For example, here's OpenAI's Operator trying to create a DB diagram in @whimsical:

I used Deep Research to explore a personal curiosity, and it was crazy helpful. Really excited to use this more in my own workflows.
today we launch deep research, our next agent. this is like a superpower; experts on demand! it can go use the internet, do complex research and reasoning, and give you back a report. it is really good, and can do tasks that would take hours/days and cost hundreds of dollars.

It's interesting to put these numbers into perspective. At $4B per day, that's about $24.24 per US taxpayer per day. By September 30th, this adds up to roughly $5.8K per taxpayer—nearly 42% of the average annual income tax bill.
Reducing the federal deficit from $2T to $1T in FY2026 requires cutting an average of ~$4B/day in projected 2026 spending from now to Sept 30. That would still result in a ~$1T deficit, but economic growth should be able to match that number, which would mean no inflation in 2026. Super big deal.

Of course, today’s leading AI models have no shortage of ideas for building such a framework.

@the_icon_x @weweb_io @flutterflow @figma We really like using Whimsical for mid fidelity vs using Figma. We find it's much faster for iterating when there are a lot more uncertainties. To your point, though—I think a designer should be able to do the implementation of a design in WeWeb.

@design_nocodeio @weweb_io @flutterflow @figma When you're referring to going straight to FF — are you referring to MVP type projects, more complex projects, etc. I'm curious to hear how the @weweb_io team thinks about this, too...

@visualdevguy @weweb_io @flutterflow @figma I think this split makes a lot of sense. And agreed - designers definitely have a lot more power learning no-code.

@ZacharyByDesign @weweb_io @flutterflow @figma @builderio @onlookdev @supabase Not sure I follow. What's your early/mid-stage design and iteration process look like? Are you saying you go directly to Figma?

I continue to be blown away feeling like I have superpowers with AI. Today I did something in <30 minutes that 2 years ago would probably have been at least a day, maybe more.
