Wordware (YC S24)

tl;dr $50+ in credits from the best AI dev tools—including us, ElevenLabs, and more. whether you’re hacking together your next side hustle or building something huge at work, the AI Engineer Pack is here to make it happen. why this matters: AI building is hard. We get it. That’s why we’re teaming up with the tools that builders (like you) actually love. • tools you’ll use: no fluff, just fire • $50+ free credits: enough to ship something generational • side projects or day job: this pack does both if you’re the kind of person who sees an impossible challenge and thinks “LFG,” this one’s for you. apply now at AIEngineerPack.com ps. we decided to participate because we believe wordware is the operating system for AI—and we want to help more builders experience what’s possible.

being "covered" by your clients on launch day is worth a thousand media outlets, Yuriy Zaremba ❤️ Read Yuriy's take on why he is using us belo

"I'm no longer gonna program computers with C++, I'm gonna program AIs with prompting" Jensen Huang recently discussed the potential of natural language programming on the BG2 podcast. He explained how he sees work develop, and echoed what is our belief in Wordware: That the future of work is in natural language. We are excited to continue making Wordware the best tool for this new work paradigm. #NaturalLanguageProgramming #AIProgramming #FutureOfWork #Wordware #BG2Podcast #JensenHuang #NewWorkParadigm #ProgrammingRevolution #LanguageIsTheFuture

It's rather flattering when the founder of a $30B company is inspired by what we've been cooking at Wordware (YC S24)

Wordware is all about chaining prompts and building AI programs. Today we go through how to build a simple researcher app using Wordware.
