Stay tuned!

Let me show you how you can search video and PDFs like a human.

In this video, I’m looking at how MongoDB is making the standalone vector database obsolete by keeping everything in one place: https://youtu.be/0E4anajoPvs

🔥👉 If you want to see how to architect this yourself, there’s a free Python AI series: https://fandf.co/4eD5a1P 

It covers how to move from a basic database setup to building more complex agents.

There’s a new term being coined right now called vibe training by the company Plurai, and they’ve basically built a way to catch hallucinations in sub-100ms and the cost is over 8x lower than GPT-5-mini.

🔥👉 They’re live on Product Hunt today: https://www.producthunt.com/products/plurai?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social

If you’re building agents, go check them out, grab the free trial, and show them some love on the launch!

This is really cool, wish I had this 10 years ago: https://fandf.co/46TU3Nm

Usually, when you’re doing web automation, you have to manually tag every selector and button, giving the script super specific instructions like "click this exact ID" or "follow this path."  

Amazon Nova, the sponsor, is basically lets you "vibe-automate" your web scripts. Took me like a minute to setup and book a flight ✈️

You’re wasting your time "just" learning to code, and I’ll show you why in this video: https://youtu.be/TlIl_LxielY

The best jobs aren't going to "coders" anymore, they’re going to the people who can actually build and finish things.

Watch this to see how you can skip the hard part and start shipping your ideas today.

I saw a post on Reddit recently where someone cut their cloud usage, but their bill didn't change at all.

Think of it like buying a massive 3-year supply of milk to get a bulk discount, but then you realize you’re going dairy-free next month. You’re still stuck paying for all that milk you won’t drink. In the cloud, this happens when you sign a long-term Savings Plan to get a discount, but then you delete your old servers to be more efficient. You end up paying for "zombie capacity" that does nothing.

👉 Check out Archera: https://fandf.co/4t8PN4S

They offer insured commitments for this exact problem.

Pretty cool I think.

🔥 New challenge is UP 🔥

Learn workflow orchestration, get your certificate, and win a Apple MacBook, iPad, iPhone, and more worth $4,000! 💰

Writing code is easy, the real challenge is managing the flow between services and APIs. Kestra open-source simplifies this by making orchestration seamless.

👉 Learn more and register: https://www.wemakedevs.org/orchestration

The course starts from zero. Winners will be announced on a rolling basis starting this week! ⏰

Are testing jobs over? I tried the world's first GenAI native test agent that writes tests in plain english.

👉 Try it yourself: https://tinyurl.com/mpataubt

📺 Watch the tutorial: https://youtu.be/8H4MLBEBzbo

This agent handles the heavy lifting and acts as a co-pilot that can plan, author, and evolve tests using natural language.

If you want an agent to actually remember what it did an hour ago without starting from scratch, you have to give it a place to store those thoughts.

There is a highly practical notebook in the Oracle AI Developer Hub that runs a side-by-side comparison of the two approaches: https://fandf.co/4wbt8aM

Your AI agent isn't slow, you're just feeding it wrong. The moment it needs to pull data from GitHub, Slack, and Sentry all at once, the whole workflow starts breaking down with expensive chains, bloated prompts and answers that make no sense.

Coral is an open source tool that puts a clean SQL layer between your agent and all your data sources so it gets precise, structured answers instead of a pile of half-related snippets and works with whatever stack you already run. Build something with Coral and win $10,000: https://forms.gle/dxBPLK17A8dXwp64A
