🐙 Hi friend, how’s it going?

It’s been a busy week over here. We just started our AI Agent Bootcamp cohort and hosted two freelancing workshops, really hectic but it’s been amazing seeing so many of you building together.

To celebrate, we ordered Suan Cai Yu (酸菜鱼), which might be one of my all-time favorite comfort foods. 🐟🔥 Spicy, sour, so cozy… basically everything I needed after such a full week.

I’ve also been reading through your 1M Celebration Hackathon submissions, and I’m so excited to see what you’ve all been creating. Next week’s livestream is going to be so much fun!💜

🌻 Interesting Things (I think)

🖊️ Learning

🧠 Agentic AI Course

I’ve been taking this Agentic AI course from DeepLearning.AI, and I think it’s a solid intro if you’re curious about how AI agents actually work under the hood. It walks through four design patterns that power AI systems: Reflection, Tool Use, Planning and Multi-Agent. The only catch is that it does require some basic coding skills for the assignments, so it’s not entirely no-code friendly yet. I’ll probably make a video soon summarizing the course💜

💻 Testing New AI Coding Workflows

I’ve also been experimenting with new AI coding tools lately like OpenCode + GLM 4.6 to update our own dev workflow with my team.
If you’re curious, let me know if you’d like an updated video on how I’d learn coding in 2025. I think the process is changing fast, and it’s becoming more about collaborating with models than memorizing syntax.

📚 Book: Deep Work by Cal Newport

Deep Work is one of those books that feels more relevant every year, especially with how fast everything is changing in AI. The central idea is simple: focus is a superpower. Newport argues that being able to work deeply without distractions, notifications, or constant context switching is one of the most valuable skills in the modern world.

Here are three ideas that really stuck with me:

💡 1. Depth over busyness.

⏰ 2. Schedule your focus.

📴 3. Rest is part of productivity.

It’s worth a read if you’ve been feeling scattered or pulled in a million directions. For me, this book is a good reminder to slow down and be intentional. 🧘🏻‍♀️

⚡️ From “What If” → “It’s Live.”

We all have that one idea sitting in the back of our minds: a tool we wish existed, a side project we keep postponing because…no time, no dev team, no setup.

That’s where Bolt comes in. 🧠 You can just type what you want to build, and it will spin up a working version with hosting, backend, even basic auth already set up. No config files, no GitHub repo juggling, no “I’ll finish this later” energy.

What I love most is that Bolt feels like a creative playground. Whether you’re a designer bringing your ideas to life, a solo founder testing your next startup, or just someone who loves building cool things, it makes the process simple and fun again. Look how quick it was for me to build this face-blurring app in my recent video.

If you’ve been sitting on an idea for a while, this is your sign to finally build it.
👉 Try Bolt now for free - it’s the fastest way to turn your “what if” into “it’s live.
