Raycast is an unusual app with an unusual amount of access: it’s a launcher and application platform that can directly interact with all the files and apps on your computer. Raycast didn’t start as an AI-centric product, but Thomas Paul Mann, the company’s co-founder and CEO, thinks AI is the key to making Raycast even better. For this episode, the first in our two-part miniseries about how developers are using and building AI, Mann explains how he plans to turn models loose on your files and apps, how he’s thinking about the security risks and privacy issues associated with that plan, and what it takes to build AI products that actually, you know, work. Mann also talks through how he uses AI, both in and out of Raycast, and how he became a prompt-first computer user. #Vergecast #Podcast #Technology
