Just one more AI experiment.

Dara and Matthew compare the promise of AI assistants with their own experiments in making them useful. They talk through agents, Paperclip, cloud environments, model routing and T3 Code, alongside subscription limits, context handovers and the temptation to keep tinkering.

Episode notes

There’s always one more thing to try. Dara and Matthew compare the promise of AI assistants with their own experiments in making them useful. They talk through agents, Paperclip, cloud environments, model routing and T3 Code, alongside subscription limits, context handovers and the temptation to keep tinkering. When does one quick test become a fragile system, and when is it time to stop? Plus the odd tangent, an experiment graveyard and a fizz update. Recorded 5 October 2026. Product availability, model names and limits reflect the conversation at recording.
