🤖 Scaling Autonomous Coding With AI Agents

Cursor explored what happens when AI coding agents run autonomously for weeks instead of minutes. While single agents handle small tasks well, large projects quickly fall apart without structure, causing repeated work, slow progress, and hard problems getting ignored.

The Decode:

1. Planners, Workers, and Judges - Cursor unlocked scale by giving agents clear roles. Planners map the work, workers focus on execution, and a judge guides each cycle forward, allowing hundreds of agents to collaborate without stepping on each other.

2. Proof at Million-Line Scale - This approach led to a working web browser built from scratch in under a week. Agents also tackled a Windows emulator, an Excel clone, and major codebase migrations exceeding a million lines.

3. Model Choice and System Design - GPT-5.2 proved better suited for long autonomous runs, staying focused and finishing work fully. Simpler systems outperformed complex ones, showing that less structure often leads to better progress.

Together, these experiments suggest autonomous coding has crossed an important line. As agent coordination improves and run times extend, building complex software could become faster, cheaper, and less dependent on large engineering teams.

Modern Shoppers Buy Everywhere. Your Affiliate Program Should Too

If your affiliate program only lives on your DTC site, it’s built for 2010. Today, customers research on Amazon, compare on Walmart, and purchase wherever it’s convenient.

When programs don’t follow that behavior, visibility suffers, making it harder to see what’s driving revenue and what to scale next.

Levanta helps modern e-commerce brands run affiliate and creator partnerships across multiple marketplaces as a single, measurable performance channel. 

With Levanta, sellers can:

• Partner with 50,000+ vetted creators and affiliates
• Track clicks, sales, and ROI with clear analytics
• Amplify what works  and stop paying for what doesn’t
• Manage creators, commissions, and payouts across marketplaces with ease

Qualified sellers who book a demo will receive a $75 Uber Eats or DoorDash gift card. Eligibility confirmed after booking.

🎬 How to Create Consistent Multi-Scene Videos with Runway’s Seamless Transitions

Runway just made one of the hardest video problems trivial: keeping the same subject consistent across multiple scenes, objects, and environments.

How it works

1. Open Featured Workflows: Go to Runway’s Workflows hub and select Seamless Transitions.

2. Define your subject once: Set your main subject a single time. Runway preserves identity, appearance, and continuity automatically.

3. Add scenes and interactions: Generate multiple scenes where the same subject interacts with different objects, settings, or environments, no complex prompts needed.

4. Generate in one workflow: Run the workflow and get smooth transitions with visual consistency baked in.

✨ Perfect for ads, product demos, storytelling, and brand videos where continuity matters. You can try it here

🧑‍💻 Cowork: Claude Code for Everyday Work

Anthropic releases Cowork, a new macOS tool that brings Claude Code–style agentic workflows to everyday tasks. Built for non-developers, it allows users to delegate real work to Claude instead of relying on back-and-forth chat interactions.

The Decode:

1. From Chat to Coworker - Cowork lets Claude work inside a folder you choose, where it can organize files, create documents, and turn scattered inputs into structured outputs. 

2. More Agency, Less Micromanagement - Claude plans tasks, works through them steadily, and keeps you updated along the way. You can queue multiple jobs and return later.

3. Built for Real Workflows - Cowork supports connectors, document tools, and optional browser access, making it useful for tasks like reports, presentations, expense tracking, and other work that usually spans multiple tools.

4. Control and Caution Built In - Users control what Claude can access, and it asks before taking major actions. Anthropic highlights careful use, as agent safety remains an active area of development.

Cowork launches as a research preview, available initially to Max-tier users and limited to the macOS app. With built-in integrations like Asana and Notion, plus optional Chrome browser control, Anthropic is clearly testing how far agentic work can extend beyond developers.
