Chemex, Prism's Comeback, and Avocet Goes Live
Chris Gmyr and TJ Miller dig into Prism v0.101, built on a community fork, and why Prism still has a place next to the Laravel AI SDK. Chris shares Avocet's launch pricing and an AI system that turns his link backlog into a nightly briefing, comparing notes on keeping up with fast-moving AI tools.
