Andrew Warner tests what Reverse Engineer Anything can actually do by reacting to real software-cloning demos.
Andrew Warner looks at REA, or Reverse Engineer Anything, through a series of YouTube demos showing how coding agents can inspect closed-source apps, understand how features work, and rebuild or adapt them. The episode covers cloning QuickTime Player, TickTick, WhisperFlow, a video editor inspired by CapCut, and Loom, plus using REA to find bugs in your own software. Andrew also digs into the bigger question behind all of this: when does reverse engineering become a legitimate way to learn, customize, or improve software, and when does it cross the line into copying?
00:00 - Reverse Engineer Anything: See how REA lets coding agents inspect closed-source software and rebuild features from it.
01:12 - REA Setup: Install the MCP server and skill that teaches your coding agent how to investigate applications.
01:39 - QuickTime Player Clone: Rebuild QuickTime with more granular playback speed controls and extra features.
03:27 - How REA Works: Use tools like Ghidra, Hopper, and IDA Pro through plain-language agent commands.
04:30 - TickTick Clone: Reverse engineer a task manager and rebuild its task lists, calendar, tags, and workflows.
06:54 - Premium Features: See REA recreate functionality that was hidden behind TickTick’s paid plan.
07:39 - Where the Clone Fails: Look at missing features, UI differences, and the extra prompting still needed.
09:54 - WhisperFlow Clone: Rebuild a voice-to-text desktop app with local transcription and multilingual input.
13:39 - Bug Testing: Use REA on your own app to uncover issues that might not be obvious from reading the code.
16:03 - CapCut-Inspired Video Editor: Build a simpler editor with timeline controls, splitting, captions, and export.
19:21 - Inspiration vs Copying: Andrew explores whether using an existing app as a starting point becomes legitimate once you change the product.
19:48 - Loom Clone: Recreate Loom-style recording, movable camera bubbles, and local file storage without copying the exact UI.
21:00 - Final Take: Andrew weighs the practical value of REA against the ethical questions around cloning software.

After his agent ran into problems shopping on Amazon Mexico, Andrew explored alternative ways to keep it working. In this episode, he demonstrates each tool, explains how to get started, and compares running a browser on your own computer with using a hosted service.
Andrew shares three tools he’s tested to help AI agents access websites that block them: Camoufox, Browserbase, and AgentWeb.
You’ll see what worked, what stopped working, and the tradeoffs around cost, passwords, and computer resources. Andrew also explains why he keeps multiple options ready when a site blocks one approach.

Andrew Warner sits down with Paul Bakaus, creator of Impeccable, to show how this free, open-source tool helps AI coding agents create more distinctive, polished, and functional website designs.
Instead of settling for generic AI-generated websites, Impeccable critiques your design, asks about your goals and target audience, explores different visual directions, and helps you refine the results through live visual feedback. Paul demonstrates how to generate design variations, edit elements directly on a development server, draw annotations, add new sections, and improve websites using design systems and reusable visual styles. The conversation also explores how Impeccable works with Claude Code and Codex, detects common AI design patterns, and makes better design accessible to developers building with AI.

Josh Pigford explains how he grew First Index to roughly $570,000 ARR in under a month using AI to automate most of the work.
Andrew Warner talks with Josh Pigford about First Index, a done-for-you SEO and AEO service that helps companies improve how they appear in Google, ChatGPT, Claude, and other discovery tools. Josh explains how he turned a system he had built for his own sites into a $1,000-a-month service, signed up roughly 30 clients, and built an operation largely powered by Claude, Python, GitHub, Notion, Slack, Google Search Console, and inexpensive SEO data. The bigger lesson is how AI can let one person run a service business that would traditionally require a much larger team—while still keeping a human in the loop for judgment, quality control, and the parts clients simply want handled for them.

First Index — https://firstindex.com/
00:00 - $570K ARR in Under a Month: Josh Pigford turns his SEO and AEO system into a fast-growing service business.
01:12 - The First Index Offer: Charge $1,000 a month to help companies show up in Google, ChatGPT, Claude, and other discovery tools.
02:24 - SEO + AEO Strategy: Combine traditional SEO with AI mention tracking and daily optimization.
03:18 - One Person + AI: Josh runs the service himself with Claude handling much of the workload.
04:03 - Client Isolation: Keep every client in separate GitHub repos and Claude sessions to prevent context bleed.
04:39 - Client Data: Store research, work logs, Search Console data, references, and AI visibility tracking for each customer.
05:33 - What Actually Gets Optimized: Focus primarily on on-site improvements, content, outreach, and correcting inaccurate information.
07:39 - Client Onboarding: Ingest websites, docs, competitors, positioning, tone, and business goals before creating content.
08:24 - Skills + Code: Use Claude skills for repeatable workflows and Python when the process needs to be deterministic.
09:18 - Automating Operations: Create Notion docs, request client feedback in Slack, and collect responses automatically.
10:21 - The Tech Stack: Run the business with Slack, Notion, Claude Code, Cloudflare, Python, and a Mac Mini.
10:57 - Daily AI Workflow: Automatically decide the highest-impact SEO or AEO task for every client multiple times a day.
12:09 - Why Josh Built His Own Agent System: Avoid the extra complexity of general-purpose agent platforms and build only what the business needs.
13:12 - From One Skill to a Business: See how a simple SEO skill gradually evolved into a full operating system for First Index.
13:57 - When AI Isn’t Reliable Enough: Move fact checking, validation, testing, and other deterministic work into code.
14:51 - FirstIndex.com: Josh explains why the website is still extremely simple while demand is already strong.
15:36 - DataForSEO: Get programmatic SEO data for roughly $100 a week across about 30 clients instead of paying thousands.
16:48 - The One-Person Agency Model: Build a potentially multi-million-dollar service company with one human and an AI-powered operating system.
17:06 - The Bigger Opportunity: Use AI to make humans dramatically more productive instead of trying to remove them completely.
18:18 - Knockoff: Apply the same model to brand-protection work and automate the labor-intensive parts of takedown requests.
21:00 - Human-in-the-Loop Businesses: Automate almost everything while keeping a person responsible for the judgment and legally sensitive steps.
21:27 - Sell the Outcome, Not the AI: Customers care about getting the problem solved, not which models or tools are doing the work.
22:12 - Why It Isn’t Pure SaaS: Some services still require judgment and hands-on execution that customers don’t want to manage themselves.
22:48 - Tracking AI Rankings: Use Notion, GitHub, and automated queries to monitor whether clients appear in LLM-generated answers.
23:51 - Keep the Stack Simple: Josh explains why solving the problem matters more than having a perfectly engineered system.
24:18 - Moving AI Work Into Code: Andrew explains why deterministic workflows can save money, reduce mistakes, and preserve AI usage for higher-value tasks.

Andrew Warner and Andrew Kordampalos break down practical GrokBot workflows for work, automation, and everyday tasks.
Andrew Warner and Andrew Kordampalos review some of the most useful GrokBot workflows they found from creators using it in the real world. They cover turning meeting notes into delegated tasks, controlling files on your computer, checking how AI recommends your business, auditing subscriptions, delegating work to sub-agents, triggering bots with webhooks, handling customer support with approval, selling on Facebook Marketplace, managing email, upgrading agents from posts on X, and automatically booking recurring appointments. Along the way, they point out where these setups can waste tokens, introduce unnecessary delays, or benefit from better triggers and human approval.

Andrew Warner sits down with Affaan Mustafa to explore ECC, an open-source toolkit that helps turn ideas into products using structured AI coding workflows, research, testing, marketing, and user feedback.
Affaan demonstrates how ECC can take an idea, plan and build a prototype, run tests, create marketing videos, identify potential customers, and send highly targeted outreach. He explains how ECC combines deterministic engineering workflows with AI agents, including planning, test-driven development, specialized skills, orchestration, and deep research. The conversation also covers how ECC evolved beyond Claude Code, why Affaan built it around repeatable engineering practices, how users can chain skills together, and how the open-source community has contributed hundreds of specialized skills.

Four years ago, Emanuel DaRosa walked away from running Jamaica's power grid to bet his own money on the sun. Now the ex JPS CEO is building SUNTERRA's $60 million USD Midnight Sun project, engineered to survive the exact kind of storm that just wiped out Paradise Park. Dr. Matthew Preston and Dr. Thaon Simms dig into how DaRosa structured the deal, why Jamaica is falling behind its 2030 renewable energy target, and whether SUNTERRA could eventually list on the JSE.

Andrew Warner and Tashfeen Ahmed reveal how to get free LLM access for AI coding, agents, image generation, video, audio, and more using Free LLM API.
Andrew sits down with Tashfeen Ahmed, creator of Free LLM API, to show how developers can access free token quotas from multiple AI providers through a single unified API. Tashfeen demonstrates how the platform automatically routes requests across providers, supports automatic failover, and lets users prioritize reliability, speed, or intelligence when choosing models. They walk through the setup process on Mac, Windows, Docker, iOS, and Android, showing how to connect the unified API key to coding agents like Claude Code and OpenCode and start experimenting without paying for tokens.
They also explain why free LLM access is particularly useful for prototyping and experimentation, while cautioning against relying on provider free quotas in production applications when the provider doesn't permit it. Tashfeen shows how Free LLM API uses Thompson Sampling to continuously evaluate models and route requests, and how the platform supports more than just text models, including embeddings, image, video, audio, and multi-model Fusion. The episode is a practical look at stretching free AI access further while experimenting with different models and providers.

What if your AI could actually use your computer for you?
In this episode of The Next New Thing, Andrew Warner talks with Evan Nison, who built tools that let AI agents control your browser, send messages, and complete real tasks across your desktop—all from the terminal.
Evan demos how his Browser Bridge and Desktop Bridge connect tools like Claude Code to real-world actions: filling out forms, navigating websites, sending iMessages, and even testing front-end code automatically. Instead of guessing from code or screenshots, the AI can now see, click, and fix things on its own.
They also break down how this fits into a broader shift toward MCP servers and agent workflows—where APIs, automation tools like Zapier, and direct computer control all work together.
The bigger idea: AI isn’t just generating outputs anymore—it’s becoming an operator, capable of executing real work across your entire system.

Today, I’m talking with Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, who is the world’s best-sourced Apple reporter. Earlier this month, Apple hosted its annual iPhone hardware event, and this event was special, for a number of reasons. It was new Apple CEO John Ternus’ first major product launch. It was also the debut of the foldable iPhone Duo. So I wanted Mark on the show to explain why this event was so important, and how John Ternus’ Apple will look a lot different from Tim Cook’s. #apple #iphone #iphoneduo #siri #ai
