Yeah I was just reading about Microsoft and Salesforce & others messing with agentic frameworks now. Actually competing.This will get interesting. Good video

Very cool, just wondering how much you have spent until today on the Realtime API. It appears to be astronomically expensive. For me a couple of minutes already equates to 10 USD
Just got a new job for IT in sales for a small company. Thinking about ways to setup AI. WOW I've been using AI since gpt 4 to learn programming and IT... This is next level and made me realize I need an AI voice personal assistant! I have a 7800 xt... I think that can run some good AI.
You aren't hosting the LLM in anything he is positing so your computer specs are almost entirely unimportant. Cloud computing ftw :) Gratz and good luck on the new job man.
I'm a big cursor fan. The AI Coding space is VERY contested though. They'll need to ship something differentiated to stay relevant through 2025/26. In this phase of GenAI, I recommend using one open and one closed source tool. For AI Coding I highly recommend Aider to fill in your open-source ai tooling.
@@indydevdan yeah it's super interesting I've never been a fan of Aider. I like that you use it well but I always run into issues and I don't feel like it has a good sense of larger code bases. Cursor is the first time where I've fully felt like I'M the bottlebeck in programming, not the information or debugging.
What an awesome video! Great presentation, thank you for saving me the time to do this on my own... and money. This is the first video I've seen and I've already decided to subscribe!
Always good stuff Dan Wonder if it would be useful to use something like rewindai to measure where you are spending a lot of time on "bottlenecks" to then automate
Will be going through this multiple times, thanks! Will I need certain prerequisites to benefit from your course, or will it be useful to someone with little to no programming background (at this time, working on it).
very cool and one of the best channels like this its just there are sooo many people building exactly the same thing....that said tho ada looks smooth and awesome!!
Just found your channel, absolutely reasonate with your proposed path. That ada assistant is sweet, but what are the costs? As someone trying to learn on a budget, I think I saw an estimate that the real-time API is like 0.05 USD / minute? What are you finding? Definitely following along now! Cheers,
Do you have a single video that goes through the setup process of how to get this workflow running? I'm mostly interested in Voice controlled Ada but it's jumped through several of your videos now and can't find anything that really helps me understand how to set this up.
Amazing work. Thanks so much for sharing. Did you see sawyer hood's browser control demo on xitter? He didn’t share the code, but shows some extremely useful features that would integrate well into Ada. (Repost, YT deleted me; I assume for using X's old name. Odd call censoring that, UA-cam bot.)
Great plan-I have the same one. It's time to leave the corporate world. One suggestion is to test those solutions in real-life scenarios-in my case, it is a following project: Medical Affairs Intelligence Automation.
At $200 per million tokens for realtime, and o1 maxing out tokens it's too expensive in the near term to use these tools especially if a tool like o1 uses agents. We will have to wait for prices to go down 10x to make it worthwhile.
Do we really think talking to the computer is a reasonable flow for development though? It's an amazing demo but I wouldn't want to use a voice interface to code. That's just a little too hands off. I like the idea of Aider as the interface and overlay to the repository to help code gen.
I agree completely with your view. This is like another level of abstraction. Not using AI as a developer (orchestrator/commander) will be like doing accounting without a spreadsheet or complex math without a calculator. The thinking in this video is what will differentiate SWEs in the future
I want to be you! I wonder if it's possible to let an ai review the orchestration layer to input better prompt? I frequently use skeleton keys and find they have great use as to always input some standard parameters the the ml needs to keep in mind. Please let me know if this is bs. Otherwise please be my friend and do you have a discord?
Invaluable road map laid out here. Thanks for sharing your vision Dan. Your channel has been part of my information diet for a long time and this video is proves why. Got some exciting stuff lined up!
Hello friend , Live Kit has a free realtime speech - I have a young request for you : Live Kit controlling agents of different tooling. Im poor so that is why i know all the open source alternatives 😂
I watched your videos, and started using Aider with Claude to work with a codebase, with o1 assisting me on the side (still waiting for Tier 3 o1 API access to kick in). I'm finding that large files just gobble up tokens, and o1 prices seem like they are 10x of working with Claude. I also found that with large files Tier 2 Claude isn't enough, as rate limits kick in within like 1-3 hours of coding if I'm careless, and require micromanaging large files to get around them and be able to work all day. I'd like to hear you say more about how much money one should be expected to drop upfront for Tier access to APIs that would be required for uninterrupted work for various use cases, and how much we'd have to burn per hour or per day to sustain different kinds of workflows you're talking about, including Ada in if's current form. I'm aware all this will soon get a lot cheaper, but these are the troubles I found myself having to navigate right now as I dive into this space.
If youre into hardware, id suggest building your own AI server / rig. All you really need is 1 or more NVIDIA RTX3090s and a solid open source LLM as your base, Nemotron seems pretty reliable at present. A setup like this may eventually pay itself off, whilst offering you some element of privacy and security for your personal data Or just wait till it all gets cheaper. im seeing companies like Mamooth offering discounted bundle deals for AI services but havent used this myself.
@@niilantei56 I already have 4090 that I use for diffusion models all the time, I played around with local LLMs a while ago as well. The thing is that for what I usually do, even state of the art models such as Sonnet 3.5 and o1 are just barely intelligent enough to make a real difference. I find them an order of magnitude more helpful than anything I could run on my puny 24GB of VRAM. Though I am also waiting for the right moment, for local LLMs to catch up a bit more so can dive into them more deeply. Thanks for the recommendations!
I hear you. My advice: invest in yourself, invest in this technology, it is going to change everything. Spend the money, get the results, master the tools. It will get cheaper, right now it's not, bite the bullet and set yourself up for Ws in the future.
@@indydevdan Hah, indeed. I literally just spent another 200eur to get access to tier 3 anthropic api and using Aider now finally feels usable for working with a 30k token source file. I'm now tackling challenges that I couldn't have dreamed of touching before.
I’m keeping up with you more than anyone right now. And suggesting your previous content to others. I’m looking forward to your progress.
Hey folks, I’m happy to be in this nerdy corner of the universe with you.

The image depicts a conceptual framework illustrating how AI tooling enhances the role of engineers or developers in the future.
1. **Ingest Phase (Left Side)**:
- The engineer collects data and inputs from various sources:
- Databases
- Codebases
- Documentation
- Blogs, Trends, News, Research
2. **AI Tooling (Center)**:
- AI acts as a productivity multiplier for engineers, represented by:
- **2x** through text or document processing (NLP tools).
- **5x** by using automated coding assistants (AI code generation tools).
- **10x** through voice-based interfaces, boosting efficiency.
- **100x** exponential gains via continual AI refinement or massive automation.
3. **Synthesize Phase (Right Side)**:
- The output from the engineer, enhanced by AI, can be transformed into:
- Code
- Information/Research
- Media
- Products
Conclusion: The future engineer is significantly empowered by AI, using it as a core multiplier of their productivity across various domains, fundamentally transforming the software development process.

Mind blown 🤯 Great work! 👏 charts however are “lower quality” lol
Question - Why the emphasis on prompts when there are prompt-optimizers like DSPy? (TY!)
What’s the landscape for developers going to look like when this is widely available and large corporations are using it?
Looks like Dan's '???' (3:40) dropped today 😁 ....

How does computer use from anthropic integrates into your framework?
Hey, how do you recording both your voice and the internal speaker?
At $200 per million tokens for realtime, and o1 maxing out tokens it's too expensive in the near term to use these tools especially if a tool like o1 uses agents. We will have to wait for prices to go down 10x to make it worthwhile.
@indydevdan , how the new Claude features (computer use) can be synced with this framework?
Do we really think talking to the computer is a reasonable flow for development though? It's an amazing demo but I wouldn't want to use a voice interface to code. That's just a little too hands off. I like the idea of Aider as the interface and overlay to the repository to help code gen.
I'm working with Agents (Swarm) now and the Orchestrator to Engineer Code/Software, so doesn't that designate us as the Architects?
