Did you know @vaadin.com 24.8 now offers a super-simple way to share feedback? πŸš€

Give the Beta a spin and tell us what you think (how meta)!

Sometimes (often) #ChatGPT UX is quite confusing. It does not say why Research is not available, and "plain" 4o can't read a file AND reference the web? Sigh.

I need a flow diagram to figure out what model and mode combination works with which features.

Running a Deep Research analysis with Gemini in one window, while summarizing a long report with ChatGPT in another does make me feel a bit like an "agent boss".
I might need more screens, though – is someone working on a control room for agents?

The @github.com Copilot "chat" is apparently only allowed to create novel code, and it makes it almost unusable.

"Sorry, the response matched public code so it was blocked. Please rephrase your prompt. Learn more."

Hear me out: Let's have "Vibe coding", but for Java apps that mean business! Here's me going from zero to full-stack @vaadin.com #Java #SpringBoot #Security #JPA using a prototype Copilot running in @intellijidea.com
Thoughts on the concept? Should we do Copilot, MCP, or both?

I wanted to get a better overview of the sessions at #JavaOne so I copied the content from the session catalog to Claude and asked for a schedule view. Live here πŸ‘‰ claude.site/artifacts/4...

Can anyone fill me in a little bit on how LLMs handle different languages?
I mean am I better off doing prompts in English even though the material, context, or response will be in say Swedish? How about vector lookups? How about Finnish that is in some cases fundamentally different?

I shared a controversial take the other day at an event and I decided to write it down in a longer format: I’m afraid AI won't give us a "compressed 21st century"

Missing "UX" from the list.
It's easy to think that's a design issue and this is an engineering list, BUT the framework / stack should support good UX and provide a lot OOTB.
In "enterprise UX" you get far by leaning heavily on common UX patterns, spending your design budget where it matters.

I read this as "these are things you have to consider".

"Business applications" in this context is unclear, but interesting;
In a perfect world, site vs app vs business app might not matter, but ATM we can & must make different tradeoffs for each. (Is one-stack-fits-all even a good goal?)

Have you heard someone mention @vaadin.com, but aren't completely sure what it is?

In this 3-minute hands-on video I show how we help #Java developers build web apps faster with UI components, the Flow and Hilla frameworks, and the new Copilot assistant.

GitHub - PennyroyalTea/gibberlink: Two conversational AI agents switching from English to sound-level protocol after confirming they are both AI agents Two conversational AI agents switching from English to sound-level protocol after confirming they are both AI agents - PennyroyalTea/gibberlink

If all AI voice interactions would start with a quick #GibberLink "hello", that would allow 1) humans to recognize they are talking to AI, and 2) AIs to recognize each other and "upgrade".

If you had a voice AI assistant working alongside you in applications, what would you like it to do for you?

For example, would it be useful for it to be able to interact with the UI like here? github.com/marcushellb...

This year I apparently spent 5,498 minutes listening to podcasts like these.
(And I can already tell the list will look different next year – stay tuned πŸ˜‰)

Which podcasts do you listen to? Any suggestions?
