Bret and Nirmal Mehta are joined by Ken Collins to dig into using AI for more than coding, and if we can build an AI assistant that knows us.
They touch on a lot of tools and platforms. "We're bit all over the place on this one, from talking about AI features in our favorite note taking apps like Notion, to my journey of making an open AI assistant with all of my Q&A from my courses, thousands of questions and answers, to coding agents and more."
Ken is a local friend in Virginia Beach and was on the show last year talking about AWS Lambda, and we've both been trying to find value in all of these AI tools for our day to day work.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
