Make any media searchable

Hey I’m Ben. I build stuff with agents, even though I’m not technical. Here’s all the stuff I’m reading and tinkering with. If you want to start building or level up your ‘vibe-coding’ skills, join our community.

Hey folks,

Google released Gemini Embedding 2, and it is multimodal, so you can embed text, audio, images, video and PDF documents using the same model. It’s a little expensive compared to other options in text, but videos at low fps and audio are really cheap with the unmatched feature of embedding them all at the same time. This should open a lot of startup ideas that are basically “search over a large amount of non-textual data.”

Replit released its Agent 4 with multiple parallel agents, live collaboration with teammates, and an interactive design canvas that both you and the agent can edit on. Agent 4 can make more than just web apps; it can create animations, slides, mobile apps, data visualisations, and more. All of it is possible in a single project. Plus, Replit raised $400M and is now valued at $9B.
