  1. The canvas: Where humans and AI agents do high bandwidth collaboration

    The canvas: Where humans and AI agents do high bandwidth collaboration

    Steve Ruiz built TLDraw as an infinite canvas SDK and discovered that the spatial nature of a 2D surface solves coordination problems that human and LLMs struggle with elsewhere: orchestrating multiple agents, grounding abstract concepts visually and giving users a way to annotate and iterate on AI output. Engineering work is shifting from writing code to system architecture, and the canvas is where high bandwidth work happens magically. In this episode Steve demos Make Real ("the world's first vibe coding tool"), the Agent Starter Kit, and Fairies -- a new experiment that puts multiple agents directly on the canvas. He also previews future directions: foveation, zones and annotation for images and video.

    Why your AI needs a home: The personal cloud revolution with Ben Guo (Zo Computer)

    Overview Ben Guo explains the next computer is a personal cloud: software-company-grade infrastructure for personal computing, not just for businesses. In this episode he demos Zo live and shows what that looks like when files, automations, memory, hosting and model access live in one persistent system you own. Personal computing is starting to feel like the early PC movement again, and the early days of the internet and P2P file sharing/hosting.
