I've had some early experience with the Dart MCP Server and it's got a ton of potential for attaching AI agents to your running Flutter apps: medium.com/flutter/superc…
Tip: @cline is a free, best-in-class AI coding assistant for @code! It's designed for engineers who value unrestricted access to frontier AI models and comprehensive codebase understanding. On its one year anniversary, it's still my AI-coding tool of choice, with many fans at…
I have discovered that I am as picky as any artist with their work. Dartantic 1.0 was functionally complete and passing >1000 tests across 11 chat model providers and 4 embeddings model providers three days ago. But I couldn't ship it because it wasn't *right*.

I've been talking to the Cactus folks about getting their local LLMs for mobile into dartantic. In the meantime, don't let that stop you from bringing them into your mobile Flutter apps: medium.com/@shemet0roman/…
I'm happy to announce flutter_ai_toolkit v0.9.2. This release slays the remaining bugs on the road to v1.0 plus: - multi-turn tool call support - support for uploading attachments to the cloud - overriding the speech-to-text conversion pub.dev/packages/flutt…

OH from the park: Kid #1: "How do you take someone's brain?" Kid #2: "With my chainsaw! (maniacal laughter)" Some things never change : )
Holy cow! Look at how you can use Claude Desktop to drive a coding experience in an amazing tool called ReproPrompt: youtube.com/watch?v=cQ5hph… repoprompt.com
🆕Today's featured talk: @beyang on The emerging skillset of wielding coding agents! youtu.be/F_RyElT_gJk It's raining coding agents! But while many are saying they're feeling the AGI, others say they're not that useful for serious programming. How much is hype and how much…
