my own personal website I painstakingly crafted every pixel for and I've been doing front and Engineering for 20 freaking years not only were was I able to reproduce my entire front end my entire app with just natural language prompts but where I was really shocked was when I pressed view code and what I found was better code than what I wrote and for example one of the areas where it was objectively better was it was more accessible
uh the AI produced not just the icon but it produced the label Twitter and the label Twitter was only being displayed for screen readers meaning for people that need assisted devices to navigate the internet and that had slipped my mind is is little details like that that AI will just you know they have infinite memory like Mark andreon says infinite patients they have access to infinite data and they keep getting more and more and more so it's going to be hard to compete with that hello and welcome to the cognitive
Revolution where we interview Visionary researchers entrepreneurs and Builders working on the frontier of artificial intelligence each week we'll explore their revolutionary ideas and together we'll build a picture of how AI technology will transform work life and Society in the coming years I'm Nathan leens joined by my co-host Eric torberg hello and welcome back to the cognitive Revolution today I'm glad to get get past the recent drama and return to our regularly scheduled programming and my guest is GMO Rouch CEO of versell

llm powered token streaming applications and also developing their own unique Pro Tool vz. deev which allows developers to prompt for and iterate on interactive uis directly in the browser but of course these are just the beginning in this conversation we discuss coding assistance as llms breakthrough use case the critical importance of developing the skill of using AI tools effectively the future of software development by
human AI hybrid teams why and how AI will be incorporated into essentially all software products which types of AI experiences make sense as gpts and which are better with Standalone uis the business strategy that informs AI product strategy the importance of staying up to dat on AI developments and constantly questioning one's assumptions and why GMA believes that open source approaches will ultimately win out in the end as always if you're if you're finding value in the show we'd appreciate a review on Apple podcasts or
Spotify and we always love to see people sharing the show with their friends now I hope you enjoy this conversation about the future of AI and software development with giero Rouch of Vercel gjer Mo Rouch of Vercel Welcome to the cognitive Revolution great to be here Nathan good to see you yeah great to see you too it's funny we um have you know known each other mostly from a distance for a long time I've been following your career as a software developer ER since you were I think 19
years old and kind of a technology Prodigy working in Buenos Iris I don't know if it was your first project but the first one that I came across was the mo tools Library which I used to uh build a couple web applications back in the day um and since then you've gone on to found this company versell where you're the CEO and um you really have built a remarkable reputation for just super high quality work throughout the software industry so I kind of wanted to spend a little bit of time setting the
