Not immediately! This might turn out to be just a great demo, might be something worth continuing with, really depends on how the next few weeks go. Either way there might be something we can do with the developer community around data endpoints in the short term.

so exciting to see these ideas out in the world! i'm now imagining a Scratch-like playground for kids to explore end-user programming / AI in an accessible way, like some of the example apps you've shown there's been a rising tide of academic HCI work in a similar space, wonder if there will be cross-pollination of ideas along these lines (many more papers i'm sure but some off the top of my head): https://arxiv.org/…

I was thinking the same thing -- the most fun learning to program one could imagine. This!

does the cloud product’s “new project” button still trash your saved documents with one click behind a docstring something like “make sure you have saved your stuff before making a new project” where what they meant is “our cloud product does not save your projects to the cloud, it is in local storage actually and you can only have one project at a time so the new project button actually overwrites your old one, so w…

File > New Shared Project -- and your problem is solved. Remember to bookmark your work, since there is no login/account/automatic storage.

Well they should add accounts to the main product soon! (Even if yes, it is a demo and not a technical product, the dev package is.)

Question: Is there any way to induce randomness? Given two lists, instructions that say "Pick a random item from each list" consistently returns the same two items.

Seems like the same text/instructions are cached, so they give you the same result. Just a hack, but adding in a data box with current date+time fixes it as expected as the inputs are no longer the same. I wouldn't rely on this for true randomness though.

It's interesting how sometimes the instructions seem to specifically dictate JSON output and other times not. Even without changing the prompt, it seems that this aspect - the generated series of steps for each instruction - is pretty random each time you run it. Or maybe it caches for awhile. What would be really nice would be if there were a checkbox to request structured or unstructured output from instructions, or better yet just lock in a set of derived steps you were happy with.

Excalidraw is also mostly open source https://github.com/excalidraw/excalidraw

I might be scanning and missing something, but from that it looks like the whole repo is MIT license?

I think the excalidraw plus features aren’t in there, but i’m not 100% on that

Steve, I'd like to know if I can use the SDK to build workflow/process diagrams that specify inputs, outputs, and side effects (ie, this process creates a pile of logs or documentation) and then export a process specification for use in another application. My specific use case is process mapping and quality systems implementation in a hardware engineering setting.

That sounds really useful. There's no export yet here apart from images and it isn't something I've thought about much so far. Are there standard formats for these types of workflows?

Perhaps SCXML or Xstate?

hello it's me Todepond

Do you somewhere have slides/recordings from the awesome AI tinkerers talk you did? Because that's what I had in mind when I made this comment and will be way easier than me trying to describe it

Which one? I've done a couple there. don't think any got recorded though

This has been the best UI for my kids to get excited about AI and simple visual programming, they're having tonnes of fun playing around and creating cool image workflows with it.

First thought: “Pepe Silvia! Pepe Silvia! I got boxes of Pepe Silvia!”

Second thought: is this meant to work in mobile as well or not really? Tried it on chrome IOS and could not move the tiles around.

After reading the blog post, I don’t really understand what this is. The blog post seems to go out of its way to only make allusions and not explain what this actually is and does.
