You can set this up yourself with API keys to the corresponding providers and creating an Agent Group in https://github.com/lobehub/lobehub. Agent groups allow you to easily create a room of agents and have them discuss any of your topics. Easily make agents with types and skills, it even assists in drafting starting prompts and even team members depending what your query (and selected model) is.
You can self-host as well, but not via desktop app. Sever setup required.
Be careful of your token context, you can easily rack up costs if you leave Opus selected as the model and get lost in some rabbit hole of results.
Enjoy enjoy!

Nothing stops that from happening. Just needs to be trained in that DSL. Though at that point it returns to it's original form as a better autocomplete/IntelliSense :).
That will likely happen in the specialized fields. We can already see tools like Figma, Mira, and others that generate functional-ish frontend components in full typescript and corresponding styles (that are also selectable and configurable in the interface). Though, not quite as free, since they do load their base framework and components to ensure consistency and sanity / error-checking, etc., but even then it is in fact generating you useable, modifiable components that you can engage with in precision in your normal DSL.
For video, this likely exists, or is being worked on as we speak. All specialized domain tools will go towards this model to allow those domain experts to use the tools with the precision they expect AND the agentic gains we already take for granted.

I know the developer who worked on it took pride in the outcome. Hopefully they added some additional characters to keep it fresh.

Despite their confusion as to whether they want to really support their free and open source versions (without some absurd user count cliff), Mattermost (https://mattermost.com) is quite excellent and IMO is better than Slack. For example, editor leans towards native Markdown so things like syntax highlighting with backticks work as you expect.
Their recent update removed the paywall from SSO (and unfortunately the Gitlab SSO workaround) for social logins up to 100 seats, afterwards there's an absurd per seat cost similar to its non-open source brethren. One day if needed, I plan to drop-in an SSO middleman allowing anyone to leverage their own SSO layer (which will map to the login form with username/password) to avoid the SSO limits altogether. Though good enough for my needs, and likely yours too. Especially if you're open to paying for their seats.

Unfortunately there are many companies that actually rely on SMS confirmation codes in real-time, which include reading it back to them.
A legitimate and generally well liked company, and its real helpful service representative used this method to verify my identify before they could finish their support effort.

I've mistakenly given Chatbox a new feature, sorry :). In LobeChat, after you select a particular model, it enables a mini-settings menu next to the model that lets you set caching, deep thinking, and thinking token consumption.

I see Lobe and Chatbox both have prompt caching toggles, are you referring to something else?

How does this compare to the already established open source solutions such as Chatbox (https://github.com/chatboxai/chatbox), or Lobechat (https://github.com/lobehub/lobe-chat)?
Been using both, like Chatbox for how snappy it is, but is local only, vs Lobechat which allows you to setup centralized host to have shared host across clients but feels a bit clunkier.

Thanks so much for the update. Had no idea. Seems all the main channels moved over. Thanks!

#freenode was generally the main IRC node I used with all the good dev rooms.
Seems to still be chugging along. You can even join directly via their web-client: https://freenode.net.
Personally I still use pidgin.im to connect to all the relevant #freenode goodness. Seems people forget it still works and is pretty great even all these years later :).

Seems to be missing quite a bit of history. As many here mention, there was an entire ecosystem of tools to convert PSDs to HTML such as CSSHat, Engima64, etc., and its evolution into Avocode, Sketch, Zeplin, Invision Craft & Inspect, and other preview/prototyping/inspect/export tools.
Eventually all roads led to Figma somehow, which honestly I would've never expected. Still surprised Figma became Sketch before Sketch could become Figma.

There's also open-source solutions such as rocket.chat, Mattermost, and likely a few more I haven't played with.
I wish Mattermost wasn't always trying to nudge you out of community version, but otherwise pretty solid, better than Slack IMO. Is unfortunate they require weird gitlab spoof bypass to use SSO in community version. Shameful it's not out of the box.
Many years ago Pidgin with multi-channel IRC was all I needed, but seems Slack killed that whole party, which brings us to the current situation :(.
