Summary
New products from Perplexity and Replit show vibe coding evolving beyond “AI helps you code” into systems that plan goals, spin up teams of agents, and execute entire workflows across apps and files. The emerging pattern combines persistent agents, collaborative canvases, and multi-agent orchestration—turning vibe coding into a broader interface for building and operating digital work. In the headlines: agents get credit cards, Anthropic surges in Ramp adoption data, OpenAI folds Sora into ChatGPT, Musk outlines an xAI–Tesla computer-use system, Netflix may buy Ben Affleck’s AI startup, and Lovable adds $100M in ARR.

| 1:28.1 | doing the things that we asked them to, and now here they are all grown up getting their |
