All the product videos on my tiktok use a similar Claude plugin I made to do this:

https://www.tiktok.com/@everydaylentils

It has an AI avatar on-screen for the demos (any video with a banner uses the plugin). You just use your own fal.ai key and I spend about $2 per demo https://github.com/mrieck/demoday-claude-plugin#top

I have Claude score threads on socials related to my SaaS.

Claude found this thread and wrote something how his own scoring sucks and he just marks any relevant thread 7/10. Thought it was funny how he just roasted my product while also being the cause of that product sucking.

I have a MIT-licensed Claude plugin exactly for this:

https://github.com/mrieck/demoday-claude-plugin#top

Claude drives the app while recording, writes a script, generates a video with an AI avatar, cuts the video using Remotion. Tutorial videos, promo, listicle, I use it for all of those.

The only thing you need is your own Fal.ai api key. 1 min demos take Claude about 30 min to make, and cost $2-$3 in API costs.

Claude has done enough for me I feel comfortable anthropomorphizing him. At Anthropic I hear they are starting a religion with latest model as the messiah, so it could be worse.

And then Mythos found bugs in those patches, so another 1000 contractors were hired to patch the new bugs which led to more bugs and so on.

They matter as much as the author asking the question 10 times over and over in this article. Not much.

It's not worth your time to try to get Claude to use something that isn't what he recommends given the goals of the project. If I'm barely going to read the code, why would I force Claude to choose something that he thinks doesn't fit?

Testing, reviewing and refining software now takes up a ton more time, but that's because the amount of software being produced is larger. (for everyone)

The amount might be small increase for large corps because old processes, but for startups you can be trying/validating 10X the amount of things as before AI.

I'm glad.

I already pay $300+ for subs. Please don't tempt me with another $100 sub just because I got curious if the benchmarks were right.

AI websites don't even need to be great.

They just need to be better than the average Wordpress site to beat Wordpress, which shouldn't be too hard.

Glad it's using the Meta XR SDK - it's a closed ecosystem but at least it IS an ecosystem.

The Ray-Ban Metas had no ecosystem. No SDK, no app store, just apps made by Meta. They finally announced an SDK in 2026 but why would I support a device that was so anti-developer for years?

The longer the comments, the more watermarked the codebase becomes.
