Starting point is 00:00:00 This is the Everyday AI Show, the everyday podcast where we simplify AI and bring its power to your fingertips. Listen daily for practical advice to boost your career, business, and everyday life. Meet Firefly AI Assistant, now live in Adobe Firefly, the All In One Creative AI Studio. Just describe what you want to create and the assistant handles the rest, orchestrating multi-step workflows across Photoshop, Premiere Express, and more in one conversational interface. You direct the outcome. The assistant accelerates execution. Anthropic continues to add new features that look and function kind of like OpenClaw,
Starting point is 00:00:52 the same platform they pretty much shut out last week. Google just dropped a notebook feature that's kind of like notebook L.M, but kind of not at all, but it also adds new features to both platforms. We got new models from meta, Microsoft, we got AI, video updates and a ton more. But the most meaningful updated AI feature that you may have missed this week comes from a company we haven't talked about in a while. Zapier. And I think that one will be big. All right. Let's get into it. If you're new here, welcome to Everyday AI. But on today's show, if you stick with me for the next 20-ish minutes, here's what you're going to learn on our new
Starting point is 00:01:37 Friday features segment. You're going to learn how Anthropic is going full-on open-claw after banning its models from being used by open-claw. If Meta's new Muse Spark model is worth the billions they've invested in, you'll learn what Google's new notebook feature in Gemini on locks. And last but not least, you'll see why I think Zapier's new SDK might be your favorite tool, even if you're not technical. All right, welcome to Everyday AI. My name's Jordan Wilson.
Starting point is 00:02:09 If you're new here, we do this every day. This is your unedited, unscripted guide to keeping up and getting ahead with AI. So if you haven't already, please make sure to go to your everyday AI.com. Sign up for the free daily newsletter. We're going to be recapping today's show and all the other AI news that you need to know to stay ahead. All right. So there's so much that's happening in the world of AI. Y'all, I have a daily AI podcast from Monday to Friday at least.
Starting point is 00:02:39 And I realized after like 700 some episodes, that still 80% of all the actual useful stuff that we were all using, I wasn't covering. So that's what this new Friday features is all about. So on Mondays, we do the AI News That Matters. On Wednesdays, we go hands on, you know, with a new model or release last week. We did the, or this week, wow, time flies. This week we did Google Gemma for the local model. So make sure to go check that out. And then on Fridays, well, we're going to fill in the gap in between because I realized that between the Monday AI news and the Wednesday deep dive, most of the things that we talk about aren't getting covered.
Starting point is 00:03:23 And then on Tuesday and Thursday, we do different shows, rotate, sometimes interviews. All right. But let's get into it. There's a ton to cover this week. So live stream audience, bringing up my, my, my. screen here. Podcast audience, you can always see the video version at your everyday AI.com. Go click on the episodes, not only today's, but literally, you know, 750 plus videos, podcasts. You can read it. It's all on the newsletter for free. It's a free generative AI university. All right,
Starting point is 00:03:52 first, let's start with the one that I think is, I'm the one that was, this is honestly, probably the one I was most excited for, even bigger than the Anthropic agents, one that we're going to get to in a little bit. But first, let's talk about the Zach SDK. So here's the way that Zapier explain it. They say, let your agent connect to anything. Authenticated, govern access to the full Zapier catalog in code on behalf of your users. No OAuth flows. No token management. Zapier handles the keys. So here's what that means. Zapier opened its SDK to everyone, including giving coding agents like Cursor Claude in, uh, cloud code in Codex, programmatic access to Zapier's full ecosystem of 9,000 apps, 30,000 actions,
Starting point is 00:04:45 and raw API access to 3,000 apps. So here's the good thing. If you heard that and you're like, well, what the heck does that even mean? You know, Oaths and raw API, you're like, wait, what? This isn't the show for non-technical business leaders? Yes, it is. So even if you don't know what most of that means, well, you can just use natural language to set it all up. So you will need to use a coding agent to obviously tap into this SDK.
Starting point is 00:05:17 So that's just a software development kit, which used to be kind of technical, but in the age of AI and large language models and natural language processing, it's not actually very hard at all. But what this means is, let's say, as an example, if you use Claude Code, or if you use OpenA. I's codex, right? Up until, well, before this Zapier kind of announcement, what you could connect to was extremely limited, right? Obviously, Anthropics Claude Code has a growing list of MCPs. With codex, they do have some plugins, not a ton, but now essentially you have Zapier. So you have everything, right?
Starting point is 00:05:57 So your agent or different agents that you use can now access everything from your Gmail to your CRM to Slack to your project management tool, like whatever you're working on. So I haven't started to set this one up yet because it literally just came out like like 48 hours ago. But this one I think is pretty big. So who has access right now? Actually, no. I will point out, I watched the video with Wade Foster, their CEO.
Starting point is 00:06:28 And he called it the most powerful thing that they've launched in years, which I think was pretty telling. Anyways, so this is an open beta right now, and it's free during early access with no billing charges. So that's pretty cool. And then Enterprise and Teams plans are off by default, and they do require manual opt-in or contacting Zapier. So if you have a personal plan, this will be a little bit easier to enact right away. So here's why it's useful. It just eliminates the single biggest friction point for AI agents, and that's managing all the authentication, right, across,
Starting point is 00:07:02 thousands of apps. You're probably not going to be using this across thousands of apps, but you'll be using it maybe across a dozen or dozens of apps, right? It's difficult to manage all of that, but now Zapier just kind of does that. And that's where Zapier's MCP gives agents a curated menu of pre-built actions. And then the SDK lets agents write loops, handle edge cases, and chain complex logic across apps. And your existing, the cool thing is your existing Zapier connections work immediately. So you don't have to re-off anything. So once you do authenticate the Zapier SDK in your coding Asian of choice,
Starting point is 00:07:41 anything that you've previously connected, it works right away. Right. So I'm like, even as I'm saying this, I'm like, oh, freak, I should have prioritized this over other things. Because, you know, with Zapier, you know, I have our WordPress website set in there. I have our Beehide email newsletter. I have our circle community, right? It's all there. So now I can instantly start working with those things inside of Claude Code and
Starting point is 00:08:07 inside of codex are the two that I use the most. So here's who I think is going to find it valuable. Well, developers building AI agents, that's going to be extremely valuable. You know, automation experts. So if you are someone or, you know, anyone in marketing that has used Zapier for years, you're going to find this extremely helpful. I also think solopreneurs, entrepreneurs, entrepreneurs, who maybe don't have the time to usually do all of these things.
Starting point is 00:08:33 Well, now it made it a lot easier with this from Zapier. All right. Let's go to our next one, doing some a little different open claw updates, right? And hey, let me know, live stream audience, podcast, you know, if you're listening on Spotify, if I should make the Friday feature, right, if we're going to do this permanently, should I just always, like we've been doing essentially. seven things. I think that's easy, right? It's not too many. It's enough. But should one of them be open claw every week? If so, right? Because OpenClaw ships updates like every day.
Starting point is 00:09:08 So let me know, just say OpenClaw in the comments if you think I have a number, right? I actually do this. I always have a number and I say between LinkedIn and Spotify, if we get enough comments on this, we'll do it. If not, we won't. So if you want to always include the weekly OpenClaw update, let me know. But I will do it this week. regardless because I think it's pretty big. Because now in OpenClawe, we got built in video generation, built in music generation, we got some new memory features and an experimental kind of dreaming mode. All right.
Starting point is 00:09:42 So, well, if you don't know OpenClaw at all, I don't know, you must literally be a lobster sleeping under the sand somewhere. So OpenClaw is the world's technically the most popular piece of open source software ever. it is an autonomous agent that acts on your behalf, right? You can talk with it, communicate with it via various channels, but let's get into the actual new update. So we got three major releases. So one is built in video and music generation.
Starting point is 00:10:16 So these are obviously all things that you pay for, right? You have to connect, you know, your API keys unless you're using an open model. So if you do have a, you know, super fat like Mac Studio like I do, you'll be able to do some of these things for free, or your agent will be able to do them for free. But otherwise, you will be using API, so you'll be paying for your usage. Keep that in mind.
Starting point is 00:10:37 So the new things, we got the built-in video and music generation, just from text, right? Video, music, and editing tools, and then the persistent memory, kind of like a wiki knowledge system. So the video generation, the agent can create videos and music tracks
Starting point is 00:10:56 directly using configured, providers like runway, Google's Leria, et cetera, without even leaving the chat. Then music and video editing, agents can trim, mix, splice, and refine existing video. That's really cool. And music files through natural language commands. So that's pretty sweet, right, turning open claw into a creative editing assistant. You know, this is the first versions, right? I'm not going to try that one, you know, until it's gone through some updates.
Starting point is 00:11:24 You know, some of these things also keep this in mind. The OpenClaught team is amazing, right? There's a reason why it's literally the most popular piece of open source software ever. But for some of these things, when they first are released, they're usually rough around the edges. That's how it goes, right? And then the open source community, you know, finds fixes. You know, they ship them out pretty fast. But, you know, if you need something like this for production for like a work project,
Starting point is 00:11:50 don't think that you're going to get anything, you know, usable or great. but it is important to know what they're working on and what they're shipping. All right. So that is the music and the video editing. And then there's the memory wiki. So this kind of replaces the old fuzzy recall system with a more structured, kind of persistent knowledge base that works a little bit more like Wikipedia. And it does support Obsidian compatible export.
Starting point is 00:12:15 So if you do use the Obsidian app, which I know a lot of people do, that will be helpful as well. And then last but not least, there's a new dreaming experience. experimental mode. So this is opt-in. And this is essentially now where the agent processes conversations during idle time through light, deep, and REM style phases to consolidate short-term memories into permanent knowledge.
Starting point is 00:12:39 So pretty cool. And then it kind of has a diary timeline user interface. So obviously, who has access to these? Well, everyone, right? So as long as you're updated your open call out to the latest version, you will have all of these features. And the cool thing is, obviously, they, you know, added GBT54 support recently.
Starting point is 00:13:03 Gemini clawed only via the API because obviously, Anthropic cut off access to using your Claude paid plan via OpenClawe, which we talked about in the show last week. So, I mean, here's why it's useful and who will find it valuable. Well, I don't think some of these things are going to be super, useful now, but they will be very useful soon. So I think specifically, if you work in anything creative, right, the fact that you now have video in music generation is pretty big, you know, runway support, uh, Suno, you know, comfy UI, whatever you use. And then the same thing
Starting point is 00:13:43 with Google's Liria. So if you work in any creative industry, I think it's going to be good to just start, um, you know, toying around with this. I'm sure it's going to get much, much, better. But then the memory in the, the memory, the memory wiki solves a lot of, you know, the common problems that people have been having with OpenClaw, even if you have your, you know, your sole MD file set up, your heartbeat set up, everything correctly. Still, the memory piece is pretty tricky. So the new memory wiki, uh, is the next attempt to solve that. So who's going to find this valuable? Like I said, content creators, great. If you just want, you know, quick and dirty, you know, videos, developers, building AI,
Starting point is 00:14:26 ancient workflows, obviously. And then power users and tinkerers who are kind of using OpenClaught as a primary assistant, right? And you want it to remember more. The new memory features are their attempt to do just that. All right. Next, speaking of remembering things, we have a new Adobe just introduced an entirely new way to create, bringing the power and precision of its creative suite into one conversational experience. Meet Firefly AI Assistant, now live in the Adobe Firefly app, the all-in-one creative AI studio.
Starting point is 00:15:05 Powered by Adobe's Creative Agent, Firefly AI Assistant lets you start with your vision, just describe what you want, and shape the outcome as it takes form with the Assistant. The Assistant orchestrates multi-step workflows, drawing on 60-plus pro-grade tools across Adobe Creative Cloud apps, including Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, Lightroom Express, and more to help bring your ideas to life. You can also get started with creative skills, a growing library of pre-built workflows for common creative tasks, like batch editing photos, creating mood boards, portrait retouching, and creating social variations. Every step the assistant takes is visible so you can refine, redirect, or take over at any time. You stay in the driver's seat as the creative director.
Starting point is 00:15:50 Adobe Firefly AI assistant now in public beta. See it today at firefly.adoby.com. Notebook integration in Gemini. So it's technically a notebook LM integration, but not the same as the one that they added at the end of 2025. All right. So let me explain like what that means. So what they added at the end of 2025 is you could add your notebook LM,
Starting point is 00:16:23 uh, kind of notebook. as a source inside of Gemini. So this is a little different. The new notebooks feature is more of kind of like a folder, but not the folders that you would normally use inside of like chat gbt or, um, uh, Claude. These are more like a notebook L.M folder, but that you can use in Gemini and notebook LM and then it sinks. All right.
Starting point is 00:16:49 Let me kind of read the official word here from Google. So it says notebooks and Gemini. help you organize your chats and projects in the Gemini app with our AI-powered research partner, Notebook LM, for easier learning and working. All right. So here's kind of the gist of what it does. So it says with notebooks, you can keep conversations about a topic organized in one place. Just click new notebook on the side panel of the Gemini app to get started.
Starting point is 00:17:15 You can move past chats into notebooks. So that is good. You can organize your past chats into notebooks and then give Gemini. custom instructions and add irrelevant files like documents and PDFs to give Gemini more context. So in that regard, it is like standard, you know, chat GPT projects and cloud projects, but here's where it's not at all. Because all of those notebooks technically sync to notebook LN, which is really cool. I probably, which is crazy to think, outside of Google Gemini
Starting point is 00:17:54 deep research because Gemini is everywhere now, right? I use AI studio a ton and I use notebook L.M a ridiculous amount. It might be one of my most used tools aside from like GPD 54 Pro. And I am using like most people clawed more and more, you know, with all these new features that come out. But I actually am not using the, I'm not using the normal Gemini app to chat as much as I used to be, right? I'm using a lot more for deep research.
Starting point is 00:18:24 I think Google's deep research is still goaded. It's so good. But now with this, I'm like, okay, now I'm going to have to start doing more of my chats inside Gemini, right? Because this feature to sync all of those, put all of those in a notebook and have that be synced to notebook LM, right? You have all of these sources that you bring in a notebook LM. If you're a power user, or maybe if you don't know, notebook LM is a very unique product from Google. It is powered by Gemini, but it's grounded.
Starting point is 00:18:54 So that means the hallucination rate is essentially zero, right? Where all other large language models, you know, you're constantly having to be vigilant against hallucinations, right? So this is so cool now that your chats inside Gemini can become your source material for notebook LM just by adding it to a notebook. So that's really cool. So like I said, you do have that persistent project space where you can order. organize chats, upload documents and PDFs, and give Gemini custom instructions for those ongoing
Starting point is 00:19:29 products, and the notebook sync automatically, which is really cool. So if you add a file, you know, in notebook LM, that file will be added in Gemini, which is so, so cool. I'm pretty sure I messaged one of the notebook LM leads of something like this, like a year ago. They did add one of my features that I requested finally getting on the on the mobile app you know plus and minus you know plus and minus 10 seconds I asked for 15 they did 10 but you know can't complain so who has access so right now this is rolling out to paid subscribers first all right so if you're on a free plan you know maybe this will roll out eventually I'm guessing it probably well I could be wrong because I'm guessing this is going to be a more of a computer
Starting point is 00:20:21 intensive feature, especially if it's popular. So it is rolling out to paid users on the web this week. And then mobile access and European expansion in the following weeks. And free users said, they'll get access after all the paid rollout completes. So no clue when that is, because sometimes it does take a little bit longer for all of the paid customers in Europe to get access. So sometimes those, you know, free users getting access gets delayed a little bit. So here's why is this useful and I think who will find it valuable. First of all, literally anyone is going to find this valuable, right? I don't care if you're a researcher, student, general knowledge worker. If you're not using notebook LM literally every single day, I don't understand why not,
Starting point is 00:21:08 unless you're not able to because of your job, but I mean, use it for your personal life. If you have a personal Gmail account, even the free version of notebook LM is can't miss. It's so good. it. Right. But here's why I think that this new update's useful. It solves that scattered conversations problem, right? Obviously, if you've used projects in ChadGBT, or if you've used projects in Claude, especially if you've used like project memory inside of ChadGBT, you'll understand how useful it is to essentially, that way you're not wasting all of that back and forth, right? So I think sometimes when we're working with large language models, ultimately we just use whatever that last piece is, right? It's the last thing that you copy and paste, right? Or maybe you're going through a lot of iterations of something just to get a couple of facts. But what about the other 70%, the other 80%, the other 90%, could all be really good stuff. So now this lets you automatically use that inside of Notebook LM.
Starting point is 00:22:08 That's probably the way I'll be taking advantage of it most is moving from Gemini to notebook LM, not vice versa necessarily because I am a heart. power no proclamation muser, but regardless, this is pretty freaking sweet. All right. We have a couple more. All right. Next, we have Muse Spark meta, meta, after billions of dollars, quite literally, right? They just had a single $14 billion acquisition of scale AI, essentially, an aqua higher. And then they reportedly were spending hundreds of millions on individual researchers.
Starting point is 00:22:45 And then over the past year, they've done nothing with Lama. A year of silence in 2025 and 2026 is like a decade. I think people forgot meta existed. But they came back with what I will say to their credit is a fairly impressive model in Muse Spark. So here is Muse Spark. This is their new model. But the first model from the meta, the new meta super intelligence lab or MSL led by former scale AI CEO Alexander Wang, and it is a natively multimodal reasoning model with text,
Starting point is 00:23:20 image, and tool use. But unlike the previous Lama models, this is a complete rebuild. So this is not an open source model that you can download and fork locally. Right now, though, it is free. So free, but not open source. All right. So it uses a multi-agent architecture where parallel reasoning, subagents tackle part of a problem simultaneously reducing latency on those complex tasks. So who has access right now? Like I said, it's free to use on meta.aI and in the meta AI app across Facebook, Instagram, and what's app? There is also a thinking mode that they call contemplative. And then there is a private API preview right now, but it's not public. It's only open to select partners. So, I mean, why it's useful. I
Starting point is 00:24:10 I mean, you get it, right? I don't know. If you're a heavy meta Facebook WhatsApp user and you like AI, that's cool. You're going to have a much better AI assistant to chat with. Will this be a model that's good enough for businesses to replace their stack? I don't know. Probably, probably not, right? It's actually really good, right?
Starting point is 00:24:34 The benchmarks for technically being a first model, like this might sound crazy. because yes, it is technically their first model, but it's not, right? They had Lava before, but this is a complete rebuild. So if you give it the benefit of the doubt of being a complete rebuild, it's actually one of the best first models ever. But is it a top three model right now? No, it's not because it's still behind Gemini 3.1 Pro, Opus, 46, and Chad Chevety's GV-4. However, I have been using it. It's really good.
Starting point is 00:25:09 It's good at coding. Its ability to write is pretty good. It's obviously a huge step ahead from Lama. So like I said, I think you're going to find value out of this. If you are already using Meta's products on a daily basis, or if for whatever reason, the certain benchmarks really just kind of hit what you're trying to get out of it. Like I said, we actually, and I will share it. I'll reshare it in today's newsletter. I put together a chart comparing Muse Spark with its biggest competitors.
Starting point is 00:25:48 And then also just for fun, I put the mythos model from Anthropic that no one's going to get access to for the most part. So yeah, if you want to see how it ranks on the benchmarks, I'll have that in the newsletter. All right. Next, meta wasn't the only company with new models today or this week. Microsoft also did. Yeah, this one, I kind of came out right at the end of last week. I'd already, you know, planned the show out. So this one is like eight days old, all right, but stuff happens fast, right?
Starting point is 00:26:19 So this is from Microsoft. I'm just going to read their little blurb here. So they said introducing MA1 or sorry, MAI transcribe one alongside MAI voice one and MIAI image two, what they call world class quality. lightning speeds now available at the most competitive prices. And it is available now in the Microsoft Foundry and the MAI Playground. So I will say if you want to, you know, compare everything on the image side, right, it's, I think it's a top three family of models.
Starting point is 00:26:58 It's not a top three AI model, image model. But you know, for their first technical model, it's fairly impressive. on the image side. And then on the transcribe or the voice side, it actually got some pretty good benchmarks here. So it was the lowest for mean word error rate. So when transcribing, it actually is the top model for that. So if you are building something with voice or transcription, it might be a model worth looking at, but some more details. So this is the, first big series of releases from Microsoft's new in-house AI team, now led by Mustafa Suleiman, and they released these three proprietary foundational models. So MAI Transcribe 1
Starting point is 00:27:50 claims the lowest word error rate 3.8% across 25 languages, beating the likes of Whisper, Gemini Flash, and 11 Lives Scribe. Then you have MAI Voice 1. I don't know why. The MAI is just Hard to say. We had a MAI voice one that can generate 60 seconds of natural audio in under one second on a single GPU. So that's text to speech model or text to audio model very, very fast. And then the MAI Image 2 debuted as top three on the Arena AI leaderboard. So these are all available right now, right? So you can access them on the Microsoft.
Starting point is 00:28:36 Foundry or the MAI Playground. So if your company for whatever reason, right, if they're not a big Microsoft shop, maybe you're a Google Gmail shop, or you just don't have access to the Microsoft Foundry, which is kind of there, you know, formerly the Azure AI Foundry, well, you can just go sign up for the MAI Playground, right? That's the way I've been kind of playing around these models in the same way that, you know, Open AI, Claude, et cetera, you know, they have backends essentially for developers. That sounds daunting.
Starting point is 00:29:09 Trust me, it's not. You just sign in with your credentials. You usually have to connect a card, credit card, because at that point you are charged, even if you're just playing around with it in the sandbox, you are charged. So here's why it's useful. I think if you have already built,
Starting point is 00:29:30 or your company has already built transcription or voice products, it's worth looking at it. Just because at least I do think on the transcribe and voice side, it's fairly impressive. Or maybe for whatever reasons, maybe your company has wanted to use AI images, but you are locked into Microsoft. In this case, this is their first image model that I think is definitely worth using. So who's going to find this valuable?
Starting point is 00:29:57 I think enterprise developers who are building voice agents, if you need accurate, fast, and affordable transcription at scale, that's one great use cases. or marketing teams who need high quality AI image generation and you only have access to Microsoft, right? I obviously wouldn't choose this, at least not now, over the nano banana, over the GBT 1.5 image. We talked earlier this week that, you know, there's rumors.
Starting point is 00:30:26 Open AI is going to be coming out with their next image model. So it's definitely not the best. But I have seen some of the examples so far and it looks fairly impressive. All right, we have two more quick ones for you here. So our next one, Google Vids Update. Stick with me here. Why does this matter?
Starting point is 00:30:46 Well, you probably know Google VO, right? And if you're on a paid plan, then you have access to Google's extremely impressive AI video generator in VO3.1. Now it's free. Well, the version of it. and if you use Google Vids. So here's what's new. So Google Vids now includes free AI video generation powered by V-O-3-1 for anyone with a Google account. All right.
Starting point is 00:31:19 You do only get 10 clips per month. But y'all, if you don't remember like when V-O-3 came out or even V-O-2, right? But when V-O-3 came out, it's like everyone's like, oh, my gosh, I'll pay a million dollars, you know, for this. because at the time it was so good and it was so far ahead of, you know, the original SORA and so far ahead of all the other, you know, Chinese models, now that gap has been closed. But the fact that now we're saying that you can get VO3.1 for free, it's pretty impressive. So let's talk a little bit more about how this works. Well, one of the big features of Google Vids, I did do a dedicated show on that a couple of months ago,
Starting point is 00:32:00 but it has AI avatars that can be directed via text prompts, placing custom scenes, and dress to match your brand and interact with products and props, which is really cool. It also has a new screen recorder and, sorry, a new Chrome screen recorder and extension to direct YouTube publishing as well. So here's who has access.
Starting point is 00:32:22 Like I said, free, V03.1, free. How many times can I say that? So up to 10 clips, month, even if you have a non-paid account. Also, you have custom music in Lyria 3 and AI avatars, but that is for paid subscribers only.
Starting point is 00:32:44 And then ultra subscribers get a thousand Vio video generations per month. That's obviously on the $200 plus plan. So here's why it's useful. And I think who's going to find it valuable? Well, it's useful because it creates really good V0.3. it generates eight second video clips from text prompts or photos at no cost, right? So this is one of those. I think if you've been looking at some ugly visuals on your company's website for many years,
Starting point is 00:33:14 which be honest, this is probably most of us, y'all liven it up. Or if you have this old corporate training video and maybe you can't replace all of it, you could at least slice it up and breathe some life into it. with VO3.1. All right. And then our last feature, which may be the one that's most talked about, although at least for me personally, I think I'm most excited about the agent's SDK.
Starting point is 00:33:44 But here we go. We got managed agents from Anthropic. All right. So more or less, if it sounds like every week that Anthropic is releasing one or two things that sound very much open claw-esque. Well, that's because this is very open-cloth-esque. All right.
Starting point is 00:34:07 So this is technically a little bit more technical than using clodd.aI on the front end because you do have to use Anthropics Council, right? So that's their kind of back end, but it's super easy. I did mess around with this a little bit. The good thing is, is you can do it all in the natural language. You can do it all just by chatting. with Claude and it will walk you through how to set it up, you know, authenticating things, et cetera.
Starting point is 00:34:36 But here's essentially what's new. So they launched the Anthropic launch the Claude Manage agents right now in public beta and it's a platform that handles hosting, scaling, monitoring, and failure recovery for AI agents so teams can focus on agent logic instead of infrastructure. So you just define agents in natural language or you can use YAML, then you can set guard brails, and then Anthropic runs them. All right. So this isn't like you have to set up your own infrastructure or you don't even need to necessarily run these on a website or set up a local instance on your computer or anything like that. It is all running on Anthropics instance.
Starting point is 00:35:24 So this has built in orchestration that handles tool calls. decisions, context management, and error recovery with session tracing, right? So the easiest way to explain this, think Opus 4.6 is agentic by default, right? And I think that we've all seen, I've said this many times, right? Anthropic is crushing it in 2026. They are winning the year. And one of the things that's most impressive is, as an example, you know, adding skills, you know, inside of Claude, adding all of these different MCPs inside of Claude, right?
Starting point is 00:36:04 Interactive ones as well, these more interactive apps. Now imagine kind of similarly to Zapier being able to control that harness a little bit more, right? Because if you didn't have, you know, as an example, a connector, you know, for whatever program that you want to use or if it wasn't available as an MCP, Yes, you could go set up a custom MCP server, but this is just a different way to set it up by doing it just in natural language. And then the thing that I love is that their kind of agent builder walks you through it. And it'll do the authentication and everything for you, right? It'll walk you through it. It'll give you options, right?
Starting point is 00:36:47 It'll say, hey, you can do it via Oath where you can just click the screen or you can do it via API key as an example. So it's going to walk you through it. It's going to give you these different options. So who has access right now? It is a public beta. So anyone, all right, for API users and subscribers. So like I said, you do have to be on the back end. The cool thing is, well, you technically don't need to even be a paid Claude user.
Starting point is 00:37:13 You do, though, obviously have to connect a credit card, go into the back end. I think the minimum, you know, put in like five bucks, right? You can like prepay five bucks to go like mess around with this, right? So here's why it's useful. Because you can abstract months of infrastructure work, right? The sandboxing, the state management, credential handling, permission systems, all these things that typically delay ancient projects and just let Anthropic manage that piece, right?
Starting point is 00:37:44 So Anthropic claims 10 times faster time to production compared to building the agent infrastructure yourself. All right. So here's who's going to find it. valuable. I think enterprise engineering teams who want to deploy Claude-powered agents without building infrastructure from scratch, you know, project managers and non-developers who can define agents in natural language or companies that are already using Claude's API who wants manage scaling and monitoring for their agent workloads. So we will see how, you know, how popular that this is from Anthropic. On the surface, it seems like it will be fairly popular, although it
Starting point is 00:38:24 is a little bit more technical, but then at the same point, I thought that Open AIs, their version of this with their agent builder, it seems like that never really took off. And it's very similar to what Claw and it just released here in managed agents. So I could be wrong. We'll see maybe most of the momentum goes into things that you use on the front end, which is something I've been saying for many years, right? I've always said, you know, when you're talking about buying your building, right? I'm like, well, you should technically be buying and using these systems on the front end because
Starting point is 00:38:58 the front ends are becoming more and more powerful. And I do think, you know, even as we see Open AI eventually go to the super app, I think then it'll become apparent to people why using these things on the front end is probably going to become more prominent because, well, number one is this going to share and keep your context, right? So yes, I think things like the managed agents from Anthropic are really good. I don't know if it's going to take off as an example the way that Claude Co work has, the way that Claude has. Because when you do it there, right, you have it all kind of under the front end,
Starting point is 00:39:33 quote unquote, front end system, whereas sometimes moving on the back end, yes, obviously for developers, that's not who I'm speaking to. You all can see the promise of this. But for everyone else, I don't know if this is going to take off, although I do encourage you to go play around with it just like I did. I think you're going to find plenty of use cases. All right. So that is a wrap.
Starting point is 00:39:51 There are the seven features that I don't think you can afford to miss. So whether you are a Zapier power user or if you want a managed agent inside of Anthropic or if you've really been wanting some more content creator, you know, capabilities inside of OpenClaw, this week brought a whole lot and a whole lot from Google and Microsoft as well. So I hope this was helpful. If so, let me know about it. If you could, leave me a rating on the podcast. I'd really appreciate it.
