You're still using metamask, anon? I gave an agent access to my wallet using @langchain & it can now send $ and swap tokens *simply by writing English* Imagine expanding this functionality to interact w/ *any* contract. Here's a quick demo w/ some thoughts below:

Just spent 20 min refactoring an app I'm building where I had to handle streaming myself. Saved me ~120 lines & now I don't have to deal with custom logic. Vercel is killing it 🔥
Introducing the Vercel AI SDK Build AI-powered applications with React and Svelte. Connect and integrate with popular open-source and cloud LLMs, including support for streaming generative responses. `npm i ai` vercel.com/blog/introducing-…

This is actually really cool. Normally to offramp from Coinbase I'd have to send ETH/USDC, manually swap to USD (trading fees w/ ETH), & transfer to my bank. Tried it w/ Utopia & it was significantly faster, no fees besides gas, and the UX is somehow alr better than Coinbase

Sending money to Coinbase is still so painful where there's a 5 min gap where you don't see where your money is or if it's processing once you send it from your hot wallet. I didn't feel that pain *at all* using this

Felt like I wasn't taking advantage of being in SF. Decided to write a quick script to fix that: - Pulls everyone I follow on Twitter - Semantically search their profile for 'sf, 'bay area', or 'san francisco' Now you have a list of people you can hit up anywhere 1/3

Only spent an hour on this, so some disclaimers: - semantic search gave me a good first run, but didn't reliably give me *everyone* - used ts for the twitter script & python for langchain (more comfortable w each use case respectively)

My second pass was literally "Cmd + F" on my twitter following for each term & just pasted each person into a new file. Then used another script to filter for hyperlinks to their profile. It was faster lol Semantic search is great, but sometimes it's faster to do it manually 🤷🏽‍♂️

Finished reading How to Read a Book & it's one of my all time favorite books now. Completely reframes how I think about learning. It introduces the idea of syntopical reading (reading multiple, overlapping books on a particular topic). 1/3

An important part of this process is book selection. Creating the correct reading list can change how much value you get out of this approach to reading.

I have a list of over 2000 books I've accumulated over the years, so I'm going to be playing around w/ diff approaches on how to effectively create bibliographies for topics I want to syntopically read about. Semantic search will def help, so I'll be sharing what I build

If you haven't watched @MrBeast's latest video it's by far the best execution of a sponsored ad I've seen. He weaves @shop into the vid for 2 min. It's not a single clip you can simply skip. He then sells items from the vid on Shop (ie, a real incentive to actually use the app)

I'm so curious how many people he was able to convert w/ this strategy

I'm genuinely confused how the UX for the plugin store is so bad. *Especially* from OpenAI. Like why can't I keyword search plugins yet??? Or scroll between pages instead of having to click "next" for each pagination???

How much skin in the game do you REALLY put in when achieving your goals? Personally, I'm heavily driven by money. Meet Ava. She's my accountability coach. If I don't achieve my goals by the end of the day, she spends my money 😬 1/5

Glad it finally clicked on when I should use agents. Filtering out the hype + noise can be difficult. Linking the repo here. No setup instructions bc it's not optimized + deals w real $ so too much risk for inexperienced users. Explore if ur curious tho: github.com/amaan-eth/ai-acco…

Dev Notes: - I fucking hate Langchain w JS, but Telegram w Node is so much better than Telegram w Python. Tradeoffs 🤷‍♂️ - I spent WAY too long trying to implement this w imessage - My current philosophy for these quick MVPs: ship FAST, which means being ok w using alternatives

Let's play a game Based on the ui, which tool do you think gave the best performance in terms of speed + quality?

Built another Twitter extension! This one is to find mutuals for accounts that don't follow you yet. Quick explanation + Github below (1/4) 👇🏽

This extension basically let's you look through the lens of other accounts. You get to see what other people see when they view your account. It gives some context on if they'd be likely to follow you or not. Check it out if you wanna try it: github.com/amaan-eth/twitter…

Someone built this a few years back but I'm blanking on who it was. They shut it down so I rebuilt it myself. This should've only taken a few hours but figuring out Twitter auth was a pain. Took about 1.5 days to build
