In our previous post, we introduced the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and how it transforms our dear Claude from a knowledgeable yet impotent AI into a helpful digital butler who can actually interact with your files, apps, and services. Now it’s time to draw back the curtain and have a gander at the magic behind […]| Sid Bharath

The best performing post on this blog is a 20,000 word tome on the Google Agent Development Kit. Granted, maybe half the words are code samples, but without AI this would have taken me weeks to write. With AI, it was just a few days. Great articles, the kind that get shared in Slack channels, […]| Sid Bharath
In the Matrix, there’s a scene where Morpheus is loading training programs into Neo’s brain and he wakes up from it and says, “I know Kung Fu.” That’s basically what Claude skills are. They’re a set of instructions that teach Claude how to do a certain thing. You explain it once in a document, like […]| Sid Bharath

In a previous post, I wrote about how I built a competitor monitoring system for a marketing team. We used Firecrawl to detect changes on competitor sites and blog content, and alert the marketing team with a custom report. That was the first phase of a larger project. The second phase was tracking the competitors’ […]| Sid Bharath
I’ll be honest with you, I don’t actually like the term “vibe coding” because it makes it sound easy and error-free. Like oh I’m just going with the vibes, let’s see where it takes us. But the reality is it takes a lot of back and forth, restarts, research, repeats, re-everything to build and ship […]| Sid Bharath
What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It sounds complicated but it's easy to understand. In this guide, I'll explain exactly what it is and why you should care.| Sid Bharath
At the start of this year, Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, said 2025 will be the year of the AI agent. Many high-profile companies like Shopify and Duolingo have reinvented themselves with AI at it score, building internal systems and agents to automate processes and reduce headcount. I spent the last 3 years running a […]| Sid Bharath
I was at Web Summit Vancouver last week, a tech conference where the only topic of every conversation was, surprise surprise, AI! As someone who has been in the space for years, well before the ChatGPT boom, I was excited to talk to my fellow nerds about the latest tools and tech. And I was […]| Sid Bharath
Last week, Factory gave us a masterclass in how to launch a product in a crowded space. While every major AI company and their aunt already has a CLI coding agent, all I kept hearing about was Factory and their Droid agents. So, it is just another CLI coding agent or is there some sauce […] The post Factory.ai: A Guide To Building A Software Development Droid Army appeared first on Sid Bharath.| Sid Bharath
I recently worked with a company to help their marketing team set up a custom competitive intelligence system. They’re in a hyper-competitive space and with new AI products sprouting up in their industry every day, the list of companies they keep tabs on is multiplying. While the overall project is part of a larger build […] The post Automating Competitor Research with Firecrawl: A Comprehensive Tutorial appeared first on Sid Bharath.| Sid Bharath
Every week, 700 million people fire up ChatGPT and send more than 18 billion messages. That’s about 10% of the world’s adults, collectively talking to a chatbot at a rate of 29,000 messages per second. The question is: what on earth are they talking about? OpenAI and a team of economists recently released a fascinating […] The post How People Really Use ChatGPT, and What It means for Businesses appeared first on Sid Bharath.| Sid Bharath
I’ve spent the last year deep in the trenches with every major AI coding tool. I’ve built everything from simple MVPs to complex agents, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that the tools change, but the patterns remain consistent. I’ve already written deep-dive guides on some of these tools – Claude Code, Amp […] The post Mastering AI Coding: The Universal Playbook of Tips, Tricks, and Patterns appeared first on Sid Bharath.| Sid Bharath
I first tried out Amp Code a few months ago around the same time I started getting into Claude Code. Claude had just announced a feature where I could use my existing monthly subscription instead of paying for extra API costs, so I didn’t give Amp a fair shake. Over the last couple of weeks, […] The post Diving into Amp Code: A QuickStart Guide appeared first on Sid Bharath.| Sid Bharath
I was talking to a VC fund recently about their investment process. Part of their due diligence is doing thorough and deep research about the market, competition, even the founders, for every startup pitch they receive. They use OpenAI’s Deep Research for the core research (Claude and Gemini have these features too) but there’s still […] The post Building a Deep Research Agent with LangGraph appeared first on Sid Bharath.| Sid Bharath
I have been a heavy user of Claude Code since it came out (and recently Amp Code). As someone who builds agents for a living, I’ve always wondered what makes it so good. So I decided to try and reverse engineer it. It turns out building a coding agent is surprisingly straightforward once you understand […] The post Build a Coding Agent from Scratch: The Complete Python Tutorial appeared first on Sid Bharath.| Sid Bharath
Do you remember that Will Smith eating Spaghetti video that was generated by AI. The first one in 2023, despite its glitchiness, was fascinating to see. A simple text prompt resulting in something that could possibly be a video. Two years later we have Sora’s mesmerizing 60-second clips and Veo 3’s photorealistic sequences. We have […] The post Genie 3 And the Future of AI Generated Video appeared first on Sid Bharath.| Sid Bharath
There’s been a lot of talk about context engineering recently and at first glance it sounds like just another Silicon Valley buzzword. We had prompt engineering which sounded like a fancy way of telling an AI what it should do, and now context engineering which sounds like an even fancier way of saying prompt engineering.

Ah yes, another Claude Code convert. Welcome. We have much to discuss. Claude Code is a CLI (Command Line Interface) that uses Anthropic’s latest models, Sonnet 4 and Opus 4.1, to generate code for you. You give it instructions in your terminal, and the built-in coding agent with its tools executes those commands. If you’ve […]| Sid Bharath
In our previous posts we looked at what exactly MCP is and how it works behind the scene. Now it’s time to tie it all together and build some useful stuff with MCP. Before we begin, I’m going to let you in on a little secret. I used Claude with MCP to help me write […]| Sid Bharath
