“Why not just buy one? That raises an obvious question, since tools like Lovable and Replit already exist. For Orosz, the answer mostly comes down to control. An in-house tool can safely use company data that would be risky to share with an outside vendor, and it follows the company’s own design rules. It’s also cheap:”

“What he saw inside. At Ramp, nearly every non-engineer uses Glass, the company’s own take on the AI app builder Lovable. Staff build tools for their own work, then share them so colleagues can use and change them. One marketer even built a custom CRM. Glass is now so central that building a simple tool in it is part of”

“The search giant just made Gemini 4 Argon available worldwide through the Gemini API, AI Studio, and Antigravity. It can generate up to 1M tokens per response, easily tackling complex, multi-step work across massive codebases. Internally, Google says Argon boosted agentic code submissions by over 35% while slashing rol”
This week brought Gemini Argon, Google’s first frontier-level model in months. We also got Claude Sonnet 5.5, GPT-6.1 Sol, and ElevenLabs’ most emotive voice model yet.

“When AI agents write and review code at scale, small errors quickly snowball into an exponential mess of low-quality slop. To prevent this, teams need to optimize their repository setup with strict lint rules, file co-location, and strong type safety, making it nearly impossible for agents to slip bad code through.”
