The Rundown: Google has introduced Project IDX, an AI-enabled browser-based development environment for building web and multiplatform apps.

Details:

  • It aims to help developers write code faster and higher-quality code by leveraging AI innovations.

  • The platform integrates with Google's Codey AI model for smart code completion and a chatbot.

  • The IDX chatbot assists with coding questions but has room for improvement in direct code manipulation and context awareness.

Our take: AI is already supporting developers to speed up work at blazing speeds and Google is here to join the party. While no one has actually tried it yet (it’s on waitlist), it feels like this one is going to be big.

LABGENIUS

The Rundown: Scientists found AI capable of building antibodies designed in a way unintuitive to the human process.

Key points:

  • The human approach to protein engineering involves making tiny changes until you find something that works.

  • The problem is that, sometimes, this leads to a scientist endlessly optimizing for something that only works a little.

  • Introducing AI to this process has led to discovery of unconventionally designed molecules that would never have been found by a human.

Our thoughts: All these AI-powered healthcare advances are stacking up pretty fast. How soon until the compounding effect kicks in and the healthcare as we know it is transformed for the better?

Step 1- Prompt ChatGPT: "What's the best prompt for ChatGPT to have it learn my writing styles and respond to my emails for me?"

*ChatGPT response*

Step 2- Prompt ChatGPT: “Show me examples for the prompts I would type in for [your question]“

Step 3- Choose the best prompt from the examples ChatGPT provided, and continue your conversation!
