🚨 Some Personal News 🚨 I’m thrilled to FINALLY lift the suspense 👀 and share more about my next move Beyond pumped to share that I'm joining @Netlify as “Head of Community” to continue my life's work: empowering MORE builders and developers to push MORE ideas to the world 🌎 Pinch me because.. this is a dream role (you’ll see why in the story below) It's an incredible honor as I will get to work with @biilmann and the Netlify team who serve a community of 9m+ developers today and are gearing up to welcome millions more in the coming years Here's the story of how al of this came about ⤵️

I asked Claude how it made this Here is the response: “It's made frame by frame from code, with no motion design app involved. I wrote a small animation engine in JavaScript where every element (the type, shapes, particles and the 3D orbit) is a function of time, measured in musical beats. Each frame is drawn on a 2D canvas with Skia, the same graphics engine Chrome uses. All 1,800 frames get rendered 10 times at slightly different moments and averaged, which creates the motion blur, and then FFmpeg encodes them into the MP4. The soundtrack is generated in Python from the same beat timeline, so every hit lands on its cut. The earlier versions were more classic web tech: HTML and CSS in a headless browser, screenshotted one frame at a time.” What a time to be alive!
Motion video is solved 🤯🤯🤯 Allow me to (re) introduce you to @Netlify AI Gateway - for anyone who doesn’t know what it is Through the help of @claudeai Opus 5.5 (effort: Max) All using JavaScript It’s the best video animation model in the planet right now

As a power user of personal AI agents, the biggest gap in this market category is this as @pitdesi laid out Proactivity is one aspect But the bigger unlock is serving users in a multi dimensional way The best in class agent must act like player - coach vs just an errand boy It should identify a problem, coach you thru solutions, organize sub agents, and execute said task to finish line Right now, I use my own custom prompts to achieve this mind blowing outcome but it should be done out of the box for all users and there will be epic retention
Muse will be the top installed app for a while thanks to Meta’s distribution might.. But they are starting to have a retention issue: most people still don’t know what to do with a personal agent, so they lose interest after a while. I bet Muse will get much more proactive rather than reactive like it is today: “I can take care of this for you. Want me to?” I think there are a LOT of money saving opportunities in finance “Your credit card is charging 27% interest. You qualify for a much cheaper way to pay it off. Want me to move it?” “You have $8,000 sitting in checking earning almost nothing. Want me to move the excess to a higher-yield account?” “You’re paying off three debts. Putting your extra $300 toward this one first will save the most interest. Want me to change the payments?” “Your car insurance just went up 22%. Want me to shop for a cheaper policy?” “You’re paying for two subscriptions you haven’t used in months. Want me to cancel them?” “Your employer will match another 2% of your 401(k) contributions. Want me to increase it?” “Your credit card annual fee is coming up, but you barely used the benefits. Want me to downgrade it?” Other non finance examples: “Your kid’s soccer practice moved to 6:30. Want me to tell your spouse and update the calendar?” “This group chat has been trying to pick a restaurant for three days. Friday at 7 works for everyone. Want me to book it?” “Your package is delayed and will now arrive while you’re at work. Want me to change the delivery?” “Your sister’s birthday is Saturday. Here are three gift ideas under $50.” “You usually order groceries on Sunday. Want me to rebuild last week’s cart?” “You told your friend you’d send them those photos. Want me to do it?” “You’re running late for dinner. Want me to text the group your ETA?” “One of the Marketplace couches you saved just dropped $100. Want me to message the seller?” “Your flight is delayed. Want me to tell the person picking you up?” “You’ve been trying to make plans with three friends. Saturday afternoon is the only time everyone is free. Want me to organize it?” “Your dentist asked you to reschedule. I found three open appointments that work with your calendar. Pick one?” “Your child’s school sent a permission slip due Friday. Want me to remind you tonight?” “You said you need to return something to Target. The return window closes in four days. Want me to remind you when you’re near one?” Basically moving from: You think of a task → you ask → AI helps. To: AI notices something → suggests an action → you approve. Then you trust it and Muse handles routine things automatically and tells you afterward. IMO people aren’t going to keep opening an agent because it can answer questions, unless they are subbing muse for ChatGPT; I don’t think it’s there yet… They’ll keep opening it because it keeps saving them time, remembering things they forgot, and taking annoying little tasks off their plate.

Opus 5.5 is out of this world Check out “product videos” here 👇🏼 opusdemos.netlify.app/?categ…
after Opus 5.5 it actually hurts to look at anything GPT 6 Astra designs gave both models the exact same prompt: "make a dynamic 15-second motion graphics video that shows what an incredible motion designer you are, like it's your showreel for a résumé. go all out." not even close, see for yourselves. GPT is honestly terrible here, openai just has awful taste

Lesson: Asking Claude to do Claudish things results in fun and unique art Also, big fan of @emollick’s AI experiments in public
"Hey Opus, I want you to make a Zine by Claude, expressing something fundamental about Claudishness or your perspective. Think the original 2600, Principia Discordia, punk zines, etc...." Not bad. I appreciate it mocking my prompt & itself. Full thing: stateless-zine.netlify.app/

What is this sorcery? 🤯
It's live 🎉 Type a topic and Storycast makes a narrated explainer video, like the ones you watch on YouTube. Opus 5.5 writes and edits, H3 Max animates. What I love most is how Opus 5.5 writes. The stories have real warmth, the facts are right, and every scene flows into the next one. It never feels like slop. I ran around 250 generations and spent about $1.8K to get the pipeline right, so you don't have to. It's all open source. website: storycast-fawn.vercel.app repo: github.com/ilkerzg/storycast

Skills are underrated magic
Don't rewrite the same prompt every time. @JJEnglert explains how AI skills turn repeatable workflows into reusable building blocks that you can share with your team and use again and again.

“Build a site about hats” That’s my new model eval from today
"Build a site about hats. Make it interactive and llm driven. Generative ui. Wild colors, 3d effects. Make it pop. Ultra." Opus 5.5 and GPT 5.6 both went live on Netlify today. I gave them both this prompt in Agent Runners to see which pops the most. Result in thread 👇👇👇

Agents can create PRs in minutes, but understanding them still takes work. CodeRabbit Change Stack connects a PR's purpose, behavior, dependencies, and code so reviewers can really verify it before approving. Do you understand what you're about to merge?

A simple line can make a big difference: "If you have any questions, ask me." @JJEnglert explains why inviting AI to clarify requirements leads to better results, and then demonstrates how connecting Claude to Netlify allows it to create projects and deploy directly into your account.

Opus 5.5 is available in Agent Runners and AI Gateway, so the agent building your app and the app it builds can both run on the same model. Set the model string to claude-opus-5-5 and use the effort setting on the output config when you want it to work harder on a given request. netlify.com/changelog/claude…
