Mechanical 🤖 keyboard ⌨️ enthusiasts & manufacturers have built one of the deepest & most complicated rabbit 🐰 holes 🕳️ on the internet 😂

They just called Robert Smith for a document check at my gate and I immediately thought of @matty.wtf. Sadly, it wasn’t THAT Robert Smith 🖤

My latest blog is out, covering the Griptape Framework 1.5 update. In this post, I experiment with relatedness calculations for image embeddings generated with Amazon's Titan Multimodal Embeddings G1 model, and get some good results. Check out the post here: www.griptape.ai/blog/announc...

If you like no-code things, we shipped an integration between Griptape Cloud & Zapier last week. I now have an AI Assistant that reads my email for me & sends a summary to me on Slack, letting me know whether I need to reply and pulling out key dates & deadlines. www.griptape.ai/blog/introdu...

Turns out I will be in San Francisco for the the AI Dev 25 Conference on Friday this week & at the AWS Gen AI Loft the day before on Thursday. If you're around, and want to meet up, ping me!

I don't do much work in JavaScript, but here is something that I built (with help from Emily in Griptape engineering) - github.com/griptape-ai/.... This sample Chrome extension shows how to integrate with the Griptape Cloud API to provide Generative AI features in browser apps & Node.js apps.

Just got accepted for my first conference talk in quite a few years. DevTalks www.devtalks.ro Romania 🇷🇴 here I come. I was last there in 2107! It was fun & I am excited to be heading back. I really like Romania & I hope Romania will like "What's Hard About Developing Applications Powered by LLMs?" 😀

Is it possible to wear out the unfollow button on LinkedIn? Asking for myself.

OMG. I'm writing JavaScript. What is WRONG with me? 😂 Joking zealots. Only joking.

11 years and couple of weeks since I was here and in this building for my AWS New Hire training. Seattle has changed so much, and not for then better sadly🙁

Version 1.2 of the Griptape Framework is out. This release adds Structured Output support! Learn how to use this Structured Output in your LLM-powered applications in our latest blog www.griptape.ai/blog/announc... (cc: @bengamble7.bsky.social)

We shipped structured output support in Griptape 1.2 @bengamble7.bsky.social. I will get a post out later today that explains how to use it, but it's in the docs already if you want to check it out. docs.griptape.ai/stable/gript...

I wrote another thing - this time it's a Getting Started Guide for the Griptape Framework. Hope you like it - www.griptape.ai/blog/getting...

Confession: I've always struggled with using threads. Github Copilot ( and similar tools ) are really helpful in helping 'intermittent' developers (like me) use powerful concepts like this. Follow this thread for what I did..

For those of you that didn't know, I started a new role with LLM application development framework & cloud startup Griptape back in December. Here is my first piece of work in that new role 💥 'What's New in Griptape Framework v1.1?' www.griptape.ai/blog/whats-n.... I would love your feedback 🙏
