Text-to-product is here

Hey everyone. Some of you mentioned broken links in yesterday's email - I'm sorry, this was a bug from the provider of the email provider. Kind of stuck there but it should be resolved ASAP.

I'm experimenting with a few ideas; tutorials, meetups and hackathons. I'll post them here when there's more (see Learn section re: tutorials), register interest for a London meetup with me here - location TBD. If you want to hang in Discord, here's the invite.

Ok, what's AI got in store for us today...

🤌 Ben's Picks

• Text-to-product. Qatalog 2.0 was released today, I got an early look at it on Monday, and it’s pretty impressive! You can enter a term like ‘marketplace’ and the product will build the entire backend for you. It knows you need sellers and users, products and all of the related fields like profile picture, email, images, links, you name it. This is a seriously interesting product that I’m not sure many people thought was this close to being a reality. (link)
