Here’s what’s brewing in AI today.

DARIO’S PICKS

1. Top ideas from Anthropic’s builder day hackathon

Anthropic invited 200+ programmers for a hackathon this weekend together with venture cap firm Menlo ventures.

Here’s the winning ideas:

1st place: Using Claude with computer use to operate a robotic arm; training it by just uploading the instruction manual.

2nd place: Developing an “anti-captcha” that detects when Claude with computer use is being used to solve a verification puzzle.

3rd place: Improving PRDs via a multi-agent collaborative debate. It’s an agent that, in 1 minute, shows PRDs to different AI personas (UX lead, data scientist, finance manager and more), holds a debate between them to surface improvement suggestions, before aggregating the answers into complete requirements.

‎ Why it matters‎ ‎ The top one could potentially save a lot of costs on developing custom robotic behaviour across industries. The 2nd is my favourite, it targets a very important upcoming need in a world where AI can use a computer like a human. Third place has the potential to bring powerful insights for product managers quickly.
