As of last night, Claude can now take full control of your Mac, not just Chrome, not just a sandboxed virtual machine, but your actual computer. It opens apps, navigates your file system, clicks around desktop software, the lot. If you've been following Open Claw, this is essentially that functionality baked directly into the Claude ecosystem, minus the terminal setup, minus the security headaches, minus the afternoon you'd lose tinkering instead of working. You toggle it on in the desktop app and you're away. I've been playing with it all morning and it's genuinely impressive how seamless it feels. What's really striking though is the pace Anthropic are shipping at right now. Two or three features a week since January. Cowork, Opus 4.6, dispatch, channels, remote control, scheduled tasks, computer use, it's relentless. Meanwhile Open Claw's creator has been hired by OpenAI and we've seen precisely nothing from that side. Perplexity Computer costs $200 a month and just got made redundant overnight. The big picture here is simple: we're moving from chatting with AI to AI actually doing things for us, and Anthropic are leading that charge by a comfortable margin. If you haven't explored what agents can do yet, now's probably the time. —— Time Stamps —— 0:00 Claude Computer Use Just Dropped — Here's What It Does 1:11 The Shift From Chatting to AI Doing Things For Us 3:18 How OpenClaw Proved the Demand for AI Assistants 6:26 Everything Anthropic Shipped in 3 Months 9:45 What Is Claude Computer Use and How to Turn It On 12:08 How Claude Decides: Connectors vs Browser vs Screen Control 16:03 Safety: Claude Computer Use vs OpenClaw Compared 20:27 How to Download and Set Up Claude Computer Use 22:41 Control Your Computer Remotely With Dispatch and Channels 25:04 Alternatives Compared: OpenClaw vs Perplexity vs Manus 27:36 The Big Takeaway: We Can Just Build Anything Now 30:41 Live Q&A —— More Useful Resources —— Find everything else at https://aiwithkyle.com/

    166: So you’ve Vibe Coded something brilliant — Now what?

Brilliant. Now what? That's the bit nobody talks about. Everyone's showing you how to build the thing, but the moment you want actual humans to use it, pay for it, and not have their passwords stored in a spreadsheet, you need a proper stack. Today I walked through every tool I use to go from a half-baked idea to a live, deployed, money-making web app. GitHub, Supabase, Vercel, Stripe, Resend, Beehive, PostHog. The full lot. I explained what each one does, why you need it, and crucially, the order you should set them up in. The best part is nearly all of it is free to start. You only begin paying once thousands of people are actually using what you've built, which is a very good problem to have. I'm running a six-figure business and my entire tech stack costs me about a hundred dollars a month. That's an absurd margin. Whether you're using Lovable, Google AI Studio Build Mode, or Claude Code, this is the roadmap for turning your proof of concept into something real. I also shared a prompt that will generate a full deployment plan for your specific project, so you're not fumbling through DNS records alone at midnight. —— Time Stamps —— 0:00 The Vibe Coder's Toolkit Overview 1:44 Best Vibe Coding Tools to Build Your App 5:50 What Happens After You've Built Something 7:07 GitHub — Cloud Storage and Version Control 9:40 Supabase — Your Database and User Authentication 12:45 Deploying Your Web App With Vercel 15:37 Buying and Connecting a Custom Domain Name 18:10 Getting Paid — Stripe and ThriveCart Setup 21:03 Email Systems — Transactional vs Marketing Emails 25:00 PostHog — Analytics and A/B Testing for Your App 27:48 Full Vibe Coding Tech Stack Recap 30:58 The Master Prompt to Deploy Your App 33:08 Q&A — Lovable vs Claude Code and Getting Started 35:22 Building Free or Nonprofit Apps Without Going Bankrupt 37:50 Claude Code Remote Control — Channels, Dispatch and More 39:35 The Danger of Always-On Coding From Your Phone 40:40 Why AI Tool Costs Shouldn't Stop You From Building 42:23 Is AI Overhyped?

    165: Massive Global Study: 81,000 people CONFESSED what they really want from AI

Anthropic dropped a massive study where they interviewed 81,000 Claude users about how they actually feel about AI, and the results are fascinating. Nearly 19% said AI hasn't delivered what they expected, with my favourite quote being "AI should be cleaning windows and emptying the dishwasher so I can paint and write poetry." Instead, it's doing the painting and the poetry. The data also shows a clear global divide: developing nations are overwhelmingly optimistic about AI while the West is increasingly nervous, which makes perfect sense when you think about who has the most to lose. I also got hands on with Claude's new Dispatch feature, which lets you message your always-on computer from your phone and have Cowork handle tasks while you're out. It's basically Open Claw for grownups, doing 90% of what made that tool exciting but in a much more secure package. Anthropic have been shipping features at a ridiculous pace and they're clearly stitching Claude Chat, Cowork and Code into one coherent system. Plus, a reality check for anyone moving from ChatGPT to Claude and hitting usage limits: Anthropic's real business is the API, not the $20 consumer plan, and that's not changing anytime soon. —— Time Stamps —— 0:00 Intro: Claude and Anthropic Are Killing It 0:34 Anthropic's 81,000 Person AI Study Explained 5:00 What 81,000 People Actually Want From AI 8:08 Is AI Actually Delivering on Its Promises? 12:44 AI Accessibility: Changing Lives for Disabled Users 14:45 What People Worry About: AI Hallucinations and Reliability 16:25 AI Job Displacement: Why This Time Is Different 17:56 Existential Risk and the AI Optimist vs Pessimist Debate 20:03 Global AI Sentiment: Why Developing Nations Love AI 23:24 Claude Dispatch and Cowork: OpenClaw for Grownups 29:42 Dispatch vs Remote Control: What's the Difference? 30:15 Is Any Job Future Proof?

If you've been hearing the term thrown around and feeling like you need to be technical to get involved, you don't. I walked through exactly how to get started using Google AI Studio's hidden Build mode, which is completely free, requires zero setup, and lets you build working apps just by describing what you want in plain English. I built a social media growth projector live on stream, from nothing to a functioning tool with charts and milestone calculations, in about two minutes. The whole point was to remove every barrier I could think of. No paid tools, no terminal commands, no deployment headaches. Just open a browser, click Build, and start talking. I also put together a second tool, a task automation analyser, to show how quickly you can go from idea to something genuinely useful. If you've had projects sitting on a to-do list for months because you assumed you'd need to learn to code first, this is your way in. Start with a toy project, get the bug, and worry about the complicated stuff later. —— Time Stamps —— 0:00 Getting Started with Vibe Coding for Complete Beginners 2:41 Why Google AI Studio Build Mode is the Best Free Tool 3:38 How to Use the Chat Interface and Voice Input 4:15 Start with a Toy Project Not Your Dream App 5:40 Live Build: Social Media Growth Calculator with Gemini 10:00 Publishing and Deploying Your First App for Free 11:06 Why Learning to Code Still Matters with AI 11:44 Bugs vs Features: The Vibe Coding Feedback Loop 14:28 How to Fix Bugs Using Screenshots and Error Logs 15:28 From Toy Project to Real Business Tool Using Claude 16:36 Planning Your Project Before Building 19:53 Dropping a Project Plan into Google AI Studio Build 20:47 What Beginners Should Skip: Auth, Databases and Deployment 22:51 Vibe Five: 5 Mini Projects to Build Your Coding Portfolio 24:55 Live Demo: AI-Powered "What Should I Automate First" Tool 28:28 AI-Generated Automation Suggestions That Actually Work 29:10 Recap: How to Start Vibe Coding Today 31:28 Join the Community and Free Resources —— More Useful Resources —— Find everything else at https://aiwithkyle.com/

    163: LEVEL UP: The AI Skill Tree (Most People Stuck at Level 1)

Tens of thousands of people asked for a proper guide to levelling up with AI. So today I built it. Seven levels of AI mastery, from "I'm basically using ChatGPT as Google" all the way through to running your own local models. I've mapped out the full progression path, complete with an RPG-style skill tree because apparently that's the kind of person I am. The core idea is simple: there's a logical order to learning this stuff, and most people are skipping straight to the fancy bits without the foundations. I walked through each level on the stream, from thinking with AI instead of just asking it questions, to setting up projects, personalising your setup with skills and custom instructions, connecting AI to your existing tools via MCP, vibe coding your own apps, building automations that work while you sleep, and finally going full AI operator. I also showed off a mini "five builds in five days" vibe coding curriculum I've been putting together, and built a stamp duty calculator live on stream just to prove the point. The whole thing will be fleshed out properly over the coming weeks, but the skeleton is there and I think it fills a gap that nobody else is really addressing. —— Time Stamps —— 0:00 Introduction to the AI Native Skill Tree 2:10 The Problem: Where Do I Start with AI? 4:20 Level 1: Going Beyond Google 5:12 Why Context and Prompting Matter 7:48 Your AI Tech Stack in 2026 9:09 Level 2: Building Persistent AI Projects 10:50 Level 3: Personal AI, Custom Instructions & Skills 14:03 Level 4: Connected AI & MCP Explained 16:28 Level 5: The Vibe Coding Progression Path 19:42 Level 6: AI Automation & Autonomous Agents 22:25 Level 7: Becoming an AI Operator 23:35 Why Existing AI Training Courses Are Broken 25:56 All 7 Levels Recap & Mindset Shifts 29:01 Best Vibe Coding Tools for Beginners 31:17 Hosting Costs & Deploying AI Web Apps 32:36 How to Find Your First Vibe Coding Project 33:43 5 Builds in 5 Days: Vibe Coding Mini Course Preview 38:14 Outro & How to Stay Updated —— More Useful Resources —— Find everything else at https://aiwithkyle.com/

    162: 143M jobs scored by how at RISK they are from AI

The results went viral, then he deleted the whole thing. Thankfully someone cloned the repo before it vanished. The takeaway is blunt: if your job lives on a screen, you're looking at a 7, 8, or 9 out of 10 on the AI risk scale. Software developers, lawyers, customer support, travel agents, all deep in the red. Nurses, plumbers, electricians? Barely a scratch. We walked through the whole chart live and I'll be honest, it's equal parts fascinating and uncomfortable. Beyond the jobs data, we covered a genuinely brilliant story out of Australia where a bloke with zero medical training used ChatGPT and DeepMind's AlphaFold to design a personalised cancer vaccine for his dog. It worked. The tumour halved. The red tape took longer than the actual science, which tells you everything about where we are right now. We also talked about Meta quietly falling out of the AI race after their new model flopped internal benchmarks, and I walked through a bunch of Claude Code skill repositories so you can start plugging domain expertise straight into your AI workflow. —— Time Stamps —— 0:00 Intro 0:30 Karpathy's AI Job Exposure Chart: 143 Million US Jobs Scored 5:01 Which Jobs Are Most at Risk from AI? 8:37 Are Lawyers Really Safe from AI? 9:39 Safest Jobs in the AI Age: Trades and Healthcare 10:52 Live Q&A: Finding Your Job on the Chart 13:44 Will AI Replace Teachers? 15:29 The Trades Oversupply Trap 16:41 Why You Need Multiple Income Sources Now 19:50 Man Uses ChatGPT to Create a Cancer Vaccine for His Dog 29:33 Meta Falls Behind: The AI Race Is Down to Three 34:18 Best Free AI Documentaries on YouTube 36:52 Claude Skills Explained: Expert Knowledge for Your AI 39:13 Where to Find 88,000+ Claude Code Skills 43:51 Claude 2x Off-Peak Usage Promotion Explained 46:57 Wrap Up & Newsletter —— More Useful Resources —— Find everything else at https://aiwithkyle.com/

    161: How to build interactive charts and diagrams with AI

The short version: you can now get Claude to create interactive charts, explainers and data visualisations directly in your conversation. The trick nobody's telling you is that you need to say "show me" to trigger it. I tested it on everything from compound interest explainers to debunking that nonsense going around TikTok about AI using more water than video streaming (spoiler: TikTok uses about 60 times more water per hour than ChatGPT, and that's being generous). You can even publish your visualisations as shareable artifacts, which is genuinely useful if you need to send something to a colleague or client without making them sign up for anything. The real story though is what this means practically. I used it this morning with my business partner to analyse our welcome email sequences, pulled in sales data across four different variants, and had Claude turn the whole thing into a visual report and then a slide deck. That process would have eaten an entire day six months ago. If you're running any kind of agency or reporting workflow, this is worth your attention. It's not going to destroy industries overnight, despite what some people are breathlessly claiming, but it's a proper useful addition to the toolkit. Available on all plans including free, which is a nice touch. —— Time Stamps —— 0:00 Claude's New Visualizer Feature: What It Is & Why It Matters 1:45 How to Trigger Claude's Visualizer: Use "Show Me" 3:16 Debunking the AI Water Usage Myth: ChatGPT vs TikTok 7:20 NotebookLM vs Claude Visualizer: Which Is Better for Learning? 8:07 Interactive LLM Chunking Walkthrough: Learn AI Concepts Visually 12:04 Publishing Claude Artifacts to the Web + RAG Pipeline Demo 15:32 Visualizer API Access, Embedding Artifacts & Claude Plan Pricing 18:18 Real Business Use Case: Analyzing Email A/B Sequences with Claude 22:38 AI for Agencies: Auto-Generate Client Reports & Slide Decks in Minutes 23:33 Why Most People Think AI Is Useless (The Free Tools Trap) 26:03 Claude vs ChatGPT: Honest Comparison, Memory & Usage Limits 30:16 Q&A: ChatGPT Memory Import, LLM Self-Hosting & Claude Code vs Cursor 33:08 Q&A: AI Regulation, AGI Definition & Best Open Source LLMs to Self-Host 36:51 Wrap-Up: Key Takeaways, Newsletter & Free Community Resources —— More Useful Resources —— Find everything else at https://aiwithkyle.com/

I've been putting off this Claude Code explainer for weeks, partly because simplifying a genuinely complex topic is tricky, and partly because I was just a bit intimidated by it. But here we are. This is a proper beginner's guide to getting started with Claude Code if you're not a developer, have never touched a terminal, and have no idea what a GitHub repo is. We cover the three main ways to access Claude Code (web, desktop app, and IDE), why the desktop app is the one to go for, and how to connect it to GitHub without losing your mind. The bigger point here isn't really about the tool itself. It's about what becomes possible when you stop assuming software is someone else's job. Claude Code lets you build small, genuinely useful things: personal micro-tools, scrapers, dashboards, automations. We built a (very rough) Space Invaders clone live, just to prove the point. I also walked through Gary Tan's GST Stack setup, which turns Claude Code into something resembling a full engineering team. It's early days for most people on this, and that's fine. Starting small is exactly the right move. —— Time Stamps —— 0:00 Claude Code for Non-Coders: What It Is and Why You Need It 4:35 Why the Official Docs Look Scary (And How to Skip the Hard Stuff) 6:10 3 Ways to Access Claude Code: Web App, Desktop & VS Code 9:26 Setting Up the Claude Desktop App & Understanding GitHub 13:36 Live Demo: Claude Code Builds a Space Invaders Game From Scratch 16:35 Previewing Your Build: Local Deployment Without the Terminal 19:13 What Comes Next: Project Structure, Deployment & Adding a Backend 22:12 Clone Any Claude Code Setup: Installing Gary Tan's GStack Live 26:47 Q&A: Claude Code Pricing — $20, $100 or $200 Per Month? 28:20 Free Alternatives: ChatGPT Codex, Anti-Gravity & the CLI Option 31:41 Should You Still Learn to Code?
