Just did a big refactor on the UI/UX for an upcoming app using new Muse Spark 1.2 and very satisfied with both the cost and output. Looks like Deepseek has competition now. $0.46/ spent. 71.1 million input tokens w/68.6m chached hits.

Have you tried running an agent system yet? But just not any agent... One that grows with you? I have been building, iterating, and working through roadblocks and ideas faster than ever thanks to @nousresearch.com and their Hermes Agent. Don't sleep on it. 🚀

Landscape is changing fast... Build extensions? Desktop apps? Web Apps? Phone Apps? So many ways to distribute your ideas. How are you shipping? Is it multiple platforms? Mobile? Desktop?

Every post when a new model comes out: "The new MODEL_NAME_ is live on our service! Come try it out." or the "content creator" approach "MODEL_NAME is out! Watch me make generational wealth." Are we becoming banner blind to this all yet? Or is it reeling you in?

Just shipped Handmade Checker 🎉 📷 A Chrome extension that scans Etsy listings with AI and tells you if they're actually handmade or AI-generated. One click, no copy-paste. Free to start. Built by me @ Moss AI Studio. Blog Post🔗 tarlow.space/blog/handmad...

3 New models so far from Google today! Gemini 3.6 Flash: Smartest everyday model, built directly from user feedback. Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite: Fastest and most cost-effective model in the 3.5 family. Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber: For Security fixes in CodeMender. Let's go!!!

Working on a new project: MossCrawl. It scrapes web pages, scores them against your target keywords, and tells you which content opportunities to go after. Covers every page like moss. 🟢 More to come, it's growing 😀

Small housekeeping: stripped "AI" from my blog's page titles where it was just filler. Feels better saying what something is rather than what buzzword it touches. Same reason I run Gemma 4 locally for my tools instead of paying for a label. Authenticity over hype.

My Chrome Extension failed the Chrome Webstore review yesterday. 1. Sign up was broken because CORS (even though my tests were working)) 2. Privacy policy was not 100% right in googles eyes Fixed those issues (hopefully) and sent it back for review 🤞

Yesterday, my agent and I made new Hermes Agent skills together — 80 tools across 15 categories. Recent hits: launch-readiness for Handmade Checker, snapshot-to-memory (desktop→AI→notes), agentmail inbox, weather API, gateway platform setup, and the knowledge bridge in Obsidian. More every week. 🚀

After spending some time working with the ADK and making my own multi agent called "Alex" I am now diving into Hermes Agent. Set up on the laptop and already integrated in Discord. Built in the email system via Discord messages. And didn't even touch the laptop. The agent set it up. Here we go 🚀

Building a voice-controlled Linux agent team called Alex. Say "Alex open Firefox" and it opens. "Alex create a backup script" and Bruce (coding agent) writes it, Simba (review agent) checks it. Gemma 4B, Deepseek, Kokoro TTS, OpenWhispr. Feels like magic. Will post updates soon.

Keeping it cheap! ♥️ the results. My stack the past 3 months: VS Code where I use OpenChamber (extension for OpenCode) to steer Deepseek V4 Flash (mainly) using the OpenCode Go plan. Getting tons done at a fraction of what people are paying for using plans like Claude Code.
