A weekly AI variety show. Two professional beginners take apart tools, share techniques, and talk to people doing wild things with AI.
Part Car Talk, part This Old House, part Pee-wee's Playhouse — Scott and Justin open the workshop, take AI tools apart, and talk to people doing genuinely wild things with them.
Nobody knows how to build with AI yet. That's the whole point.
We each pick an AI product and take it apart. Not reviews. Not hype. Just: what does this thing make us think?
You write in with your AI problems. We talk through it live, build a solution, and probably argue about the best approach.
The weird tricks, workflows, and honest-to-god superstitions we've picked up working with AI every day. Yours too.
Demos of what we've been building. New products, experiments, things that work on our machines and might work on yours.
A guest doing something absolutely unhinged with AI. WebSim, WorldSim, things that make you question what software even is anymore.
Quick hits on what caught our attention this week. New releases, shifts in the landscape, things that made us say "huh" out loud.
Why the Model Context Protocol keeps getting compared to the wrong thing, and what it actually reminds us of.
A listener wrote in. We'll open the mail bag on air and try to debug it live — probably incorrectly, at least the first time.
Our first proper guest. Someone doing something absolutely unhinged with AI — the kind of thing that makes you question what software even is.
Writes Works on My Machine and Near Zero. Thinks Ruby might be the future of AI agents. Has been wrong about enough things to be interesting.
Product thinker, tool explorer, the other half of the workbench. Brings the "did you actually try using it though?" energy to every conversation.
We're collecting questions, product suggestions, and weird AI techniques for our first batch of episodes. Send yours now — you might hear it on the show.
