AI ON MY MIND

Happy Tuesday!

I saw this the other day. Do you see what I see?

ClickUp, the project management tool, is looking for Vibe Engineers.

Aka people who know how to use tools like Bolt.new, Lovable, Cursor, Replit, etc.

My prediction is we will see this more and more.

P.s. If you want the replay from last week’s webinar where I showed you how to build and sell your own apps using AI, then reply back this email. I’ll shoot you the link.

TODAY’S TOP STORIES

-

1 big thing: Microsoft's Computer-Using AI Agents Arrive

Microsoft just launched AI agents that can operate computers the same way a human would—clicking buttons, filling out forms, and running apps. No code needed.

Why it matters: This means any team, even non-technical ones, can start automating repetitive tasks.

Driving the news:

Microsoft baked these agents into its existing tools.

- They can follow step-by-step instructions inside web or desktop apps.

- Non-technical teams can now build workflows without needing a dev.

Zoom in:

- In one example, a mid-size company used these AI agents to automate data entry, saving 20 hours per week.

- According to a Microsoft executive: "This advancement democratizes tech, leveling the playing field."

Yes, but: There are concerns about job displacement and data privacy.

Be Smart: Understanding how these agents impact employment and policy regulation will be crucial.

The bottom line: This shifts what “automated business” means. You don’t need engineers. You just need a use case.

Alibaba AI cancer tool receives FDA breakthrough status

Why it matters: Pancreatic cancer is hard to catch early, but catching it early is what saves lives. Alibaba’s AI tool is already outperforming some traditional methods in accuracy.

What we found: The Damo Panda AI has screened over 40,000 individuals, showcasing its potential in the medical field.

How it works:

- It uses machine learning to sort through messy data and spot patterns humans might miss.

- It’s built to support doctors, not replace them—think second opinion, but faster.

Yes, but: The tool's deployment worldwide might face regulatory challenges and skepticism from the medical community.

The bottom line: If it scales, this kind of AI could change how we detect and treat cancer—starting with one of the deadliest types.
