Sad to be missing the eclipse, but I’m currently on a work trip somewhere where it won’t be visible. Even if it was visible, I don’t want to be accused of moonlighting 🤭

I’ve been playing around with using Antigravity to build Chrome Extensions. Here’s a video with a look at how I set things up, including things I add to the agent’s context: youtu.be/i1OCGChwO_I?...

Are folks mostly interacting with agents in the foreground when coding with LLMs, or has running agents in the background taken over?

If you’re using server-side AI models, you usually need an API key to call them. A couple of weeks back I made a video looking at how to handle that in a Chrome extension: youtu.be/pl4pz4nWa3w

I see a lot of confusion around if Chrome Extension APIs are cross-browser, and to what extent browsers agree on Manifest V3. What questions would it be most helpful for us to share answers to?

I feel like Bluesky has reached a turning point! Much more activity now and it feels like home. Been a good week. Spent most of it in Berlin with the W3C WebExtensions Community Group (we made a lot of progress), and wrapped it up with the State of the Browser conference yesterday.
