That might look like a toy, but that kind of remind me the Minority Report screen, where you see Tom Cruise moving things with a hand-mouse device.

The UI built by Tldraw is different from a chat interface. That doesn’t mean it’s not a good fit to interact with an AI/LLM.

I definitely see this in the hands of kids, just like they are great interfaces to code video games without writing a line of code.

IIRC they took VC money a year or so ago?

Interesting product and obviously awesome execution, as expected from tldraw… but yeah… seems like a very strange departure from what Steve has been building the past few years.

yep, more news on that soon

The core product / pitch is still the same—an SDK for whiteboards and other infinite canvas stuff—and that's what we monetize through licenses. Computer (and our other demos) are basically marketing, R&D, and fun.

Ah I see!

Well if you're looking for fun stuff... could you make a tool that lets me easily breadboard [1] an app, and then you GenAI it into a low-fidelity clickable prototype?

As always, excellent execution on this, Steve!
