mattyp · x · 2026-10-29
Developer mattyp released a demo showing how to rebuild Slack as a video-style app using Cursor agents plus computer use, by literally looking at the real Slack client.
Key topics covered in the walkthrough:
- The 'video as code' concept and how an agent, a chat session, and a computer work together
- The inner loop vs outer loop distinction and a 'ladder' approach to building up the rebuild
- Using skills and designing feedback loops to keep the agent on track
