Description

Something is shifting in software.

We’re not in a moment of collapse. We’re in a moment of re-architecture. Agents, persistent memory, autonomous workflows, database acceleration, and AI-native software creation are all converging at once.

This episode connects those signals — from legacy database platforms potentially getting a new engine, to developers building production-grade software in hours, to AI agents that don’t just respond but operate. The tools are changing. The leverage is changing. The interface is changing. Something big is happening.

This episode explores the signals suggesting we’re not just seeing incremental AI progress — we’re witnessing a structural change in how software is built, operated, and experienced.

A Big Signal for the FileMaker World?
We discuss recent news that could have major implications for the FileMaker ecosystem.
Apple’s parent company made an acquisition that may signal faster, more flexible databases coming to FileMaker or iWork.
If true, this could represent one of the most meaningful infrastructure shifts for that world in years. Cris has the scoop.

How Software Is Being Built Now
A recent viral post sparked conversation across the tech world about how software creation is changing.
The idea: the way software engineering works today is fundamentally different than even a week ago.
Cris shares how he built https://www.isolutionsai.com in just three hours using modern AI workflows.
Not hype.
Not “replace engineers.”
But a real shift in leverage.

OpenClaw, Agents & the Next Interface Layer
We break down what OpenClaw is, why it exploded, and what it signals about where AI is headed.
Not just chat.
Not just prompts.
But persistent, always-on AI operators.
In this segment, we cover:

What OpenClaw actually does
Why the Ralph Wiggum loop mattered
How persistence, cron jobs, and memory change everything
What happened when we ran it ourselves
What a potential OpenAI acquisition could mean
This isn’t doom.
It’s design evolution.
