I just tell Q. 1) find me the best price and 2) make sure I get free shipping (I don't use prime) and 'let me know when it will be here'

Still blows me away what @premiumtantan can accomplish with a few well-worded Fable prompts
Deep dive on our AI iOS Designer workflow 🧵 Before Quest, I worked on Stitch and spent hours trying to understand how designers' jobs would evolve with AI. Now I'm working with @premiumtantan every day on Quest, and I think we finally figured something out.

Absolute work of art dude. Well done!
I'm tired of your b2b saas website. Like really. I mean why not having your agents flying around SF with you 🤪 Maybe I had too much fun building this. Any suggestions on things I should add on here 😁

Looks great!
i went from $0 to $10k/month in 4 months. but i didn't do all that just to spend my entire life at a f*cking laptop. i want time with my lady. to keep showing up at the gym. to actually enjoy the life i'm working so hard to build. that's what interests me about Quest. a personal AI that learns your goals, habits and what's going on in your life, then nudges you to follow through. sometimes i need “get off your ass.” sometimes i need “you've done enough today.” i want to get better at knowing which one.

My Q. is so good. Love the proactive reminders and pings, especially when it just out-of-the-blue sends me something cool I would like
If you want an AI that actually knows you, not just your Gmail, try Quest. If you're tired of proactive agents pinging you about calendar conflicts you've already resolved, try Quest. If you want genuinely personal recommendations, not just another productivity tool, try Quest.

Such a gorgeous app, great job @premiumtantan. Proud to have been the one perf-polishing your designs 😀
We finally GA launched 😊 Here's a quick showcase of my designs for Quest on iOS, from the app -> iMessage 💬 Everything was shipped in code. Trust me you’d never want to see my Figma files 😭 So proud of my team and I know this is just the beginning. It’s now your turn to start your quests. I want to know how you feel 🫡

Oh this would have been so awesome to have for 🏠 hunting
I bought a Victorian house in San Francisco with Quest. Buying a house is a ridiculous amount of work, and there’s something magical about having an agent that can access all your apps, knows what’s going on in your life, and reminds you what you need to do before you drop the ball. Quest runs on an Android phone, so it uses the apps natively. It kept me on track through the purchase, and now that we’re renovating, it’s even more useful. It's very cool, and you should try it.

Welcome to the tech jungle man
4 months ago I moved from Norway to sf to build Quest, and today it's officially live! Q knows you, helps with what matters most to you (and even has its own phone where it connects to your messaging apps) if you see any bugs, just ping me and i'll fix it. that's how cool i am

The running lady :) 🏃‍♀️‍➡️ That's me except 🏊‍♂️ Keeps me motivated
Introducing Quest, the personal agent that studies you like a profiler. Quest is for believers-only. It requires radical transparency: full access to your life so your agent can craft your memory. If you give it a shot, you’ll unlock a personal advisor, always in your corner, helping you and encouraging you to start your quests. Quest is built different: 1. Memory from day one: 100+ wiki files created on you, all your relationships mapped. 2. Phone-Use: Quest has its own Android phone, and can control messaging apps like WhatsApp, Instagram or TikTok. 3. Fluid UI: Quest builds tailor-made iOS mini-apps around each of your quests. 4. Mothership of AI Assistants: Quest can manage your Instinct and Muse on your behalf. 5. Self-Improving Proactivity Harness: Quest reacts to anything, not just your email, and its proactivity evolves from your feedback and its own mistakes.

🤑First I was sad that Amp is too expensive. 🥧 Then I switched to pi because I could use Claude MAX for it 😭 Then Anthropic banned this, so I...was sad, and switched back to Claude Code 🤷 Now, I'm realizing I like pi+gpt5 more than Claude Code

It's always a fun little puzzle when Amazon tries to suck me into paying for Prime again

Really cool paper, I've noticed a similar pattern in writing prompts with examples - few good "edge case" examples go a long way way
A preliminary version of this work will appear at NeurIPS '25 Workshop on Efficient Reasoning Some more experiments+insights to follow in the next arxiv update 👀

@deno_land Is deploy@deno.com the right email for support requests? I sent you an email regarding slow Deno Deploy isolate start times, still haven't heard back...(We have a Pro account which supposedly comes w/ email support). Thank you!

Replying to @jaredgolden03
@jaredgolden03 Really appreciate that you took the time to thoroughly explain the BBB and your thoughts on it. Wish more congressfolk would do the same. Also shoutout to @mattyglesias for calling it out link.medium.com/Pz9ivLFszkb
