The most excellent @dt_emmy has done it again, this time with new drag 'n' drop support into dartantic_chat, including drop target previews as you go!

The dartantic_chat provides a full-featured agentic chat widget with support for all dartantic providers: pub.dev/packages/dar...

because I'm hoping this one works reliably

GitHub - leancodepl/marionette_mcp: MCP server enabling AI agents to interact with Flutter apps at runtime - let them inspect widgets, simulate taps, enter text, scroll, and take screenshots.

Puppeteer-style agentic control of your Flutter apps: github.com/leancodepl/m...

This is huge! This provides a tight loop between the app and the agent to test features, test look and feel and fix it all while you're watching reruns of Green Acres (if you know, you know).

If only agents are reading ads in the future, what happens when ads become prompt injection attacks?

Apparently opus 4.5 is a go_router fan : )

Don't let your old ways stop you from new solutions: www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1CQ...

Today, a most excellent guest blog post by Emmanuel Tuksa on enabling image paste to the Flutter AI Toolkit (PR pending) and to the new dartantic_chat package, a fork of the AI Toolkit's chat widget simplified for dartantic. Enjoy!

AI Project Board Share your AI projects, find collaborators, and get inspired by what fellow AI community members are building.

aiprojectboard.com !

I was inspired by a suggestion from Nate of Nate's Substack, so I do some vibe coding and got carried away:

just for fun, it has an MCP server endpoint so you can browse the data and profiles with your AI agents.

And it's built with Lovable, it's AI all the way down. : )

Do you have a AI-related project to share? I've built a little community for folks that want to share their AI projects, find collaborators and see what other folks are doing.

Post your projects today: aiprojectboard.

I just grabbed letmeaithatforu.com in case I need it later...

I gotta say, group chats in ChatGPT provide a pretty good "let me AI that for you" experience : )

Claude Chat has some amount of compression for longer conversations, but eventually just gives up with an error message. Rude! So I used the Claude Exporter Chrome extension to download the conversation in markdown format (< 600k), fed it into a new Claude conversation and kept right on going. Nice!

Then I said: "Now that's more like it! How could I have improved my initial prompt to get to this list with you the first time around?"

And I got the best answer! The LLM told me all about why my initial prompt didn't yield what I wanted and how to do it better next time. 5/5. #recommended

I stumbled onto an interesting prompting technique today. I asked a question about task manager mcp servers and got a lot of projects that could be wrapped in mcp servers but didn't have one themselves. Frustrating. So I pushed back, clarified and got a great list back. Nothing special there.

I’m fallen immediately in love with the LM Council: lmcouncil.ai. The UX is lovely and the results are fascinating. #recommended

And this is how it concluded our conversation this morning:

"Carry on, architect of reasonable systems in an unreasonable universe."

An aspiration worth striving for if I ever heard one.

I'm a pragmatist and apparently so is gpt-5.2:

"Philosophy is only useful if it eventually produces a config file."

Truth.

Lovable App Lovable Generated Project

Lovable built a 1978 Space Invaders implementation from a single prompt that I can't tell from the original.

To be clear, at $75/day, I sadly had to move on, but those were a dopamine-filled three days. : )

Got myself a Dell UltraSharp U4025QW: 40″ 5K2K (5120×2160) IPS Black @ 120 Hz, ~450 nits, Thunderbolt 4 single-cable docking, 140 W power, text so sharp it judges you.

They will be prying it out of my cold dead fingers.

Looking for a hand-drawn design language for Flutter that also supports go_router or any other Navigation 2.0 based routing package? Then look no further than the latest version of Sketchy with another great update from @blaqshyd!

OH: "watching your llm do tool calls is like watching the washing machine spin. you can let it just handle it."

yes you can, but you have to check your clothes for damage when they come out or you're gonna look pretty terrible when you go out on a Saturday night. : )

YouTube video by AI Engineer Amp Code: Next Generation AI Coding – Beyang Liu

Excellent talk on the Amp coding agent and "leaning into the weird":

Amp is the coding agent that taught me the value of turning the model quality dial to 11 in spite of the increased latency and cost. #recommended

by popular demand, I've update dartantic_ai to support image editing across Google (Nano Banana!), OpenAI and Anthropic across both surfaces:

API: docs.dartantic.ai/media-genera...

CLI: docs.dartantic.ai/dartantic-cl...

e.g. "colorize @robot_bw.png"

this happened a few more times before I learned my lesson and switched back to Opus 4.5. GPT 4.5 Codex is actually dumber then it's predecessors. @anthropic.com
