This week was a good cross-section of where everyone’s at.
Some of us are wiring up MCPs inside real companies.
Some are building agent harnesses from scratch.
Some are just discovering that Webflow can quietly generate full apps.
And honestly, that mix is what makes these calls good.
Here’s what we covered.
* * *
🔌 Rafi: GitHub + Anti-Gravity + MCP at Work
Rafi got:
- GitHub working
- Vercel connected
- GitHub connected to Anti-Gravity
- And got pulled into an internal “let’s connect MCP to Fathom + Google Drive” conversation at work
Which is one of those moments where you realize:
> “Oh… I actually know what they’re talking about.”
We talked through:
- Using Google AI Studio as a shortcut builder
- Dropping a PRD directly into AI Studio and letting it build a web app
- Using Gmail triggers + Drive automation to process transcripts
If you’re in a company environment trying to wire AI into existing workflows, this part’s very practical.

📱 Android App in Two Days? Maybe.
Rafi also tried building a simple Android app (a “lock social media until you pray” style blocker).
Ran into emulator issues.
Burned tokens.
Laptop nearly cooked an egg.
We talked about:
- Why most “2-day app” stories are either glossed over or heavily scaffolded
- Using Appwrite / React Native / Flutter-type frameworks instead of raw Android SDK
- The difference between web apps and actual app store apps
- When it’s worth going native vs. just shipping web-first
If you’ve tried to build a “simple” app and discovered it’s not simple, you’ll relate.

🌐 Amadeus: Webflow AI + Gaming Site
This was one of the more interesting segments.
Amadeus showed a Webflow AI-generated site for a game (Arc Raiders):
- Pulling weapon data
- Pulling stats
- Generating layouts
- Creating structured pages with almost no manual input
And here’s the thing:
It looked good.
We talked about:
- Webflow possibly wrapping Claude 3.5
- Exporting Astro code
- Reverse engineering a PRD from a finished site
- Not getting locked into a platform long-term
- Using AI to screenshot → prompt → replicate layout patterns
If you’re in that “I don’t code but I want to build real things” stage — this is your lane.
No B-Mad required.

🧠 Chris: Brownfield B-Mad Refactor
Chris is deep in agent framework land.
He:
- Built an agent harness from scratch
- Let it grow too large
- Started breaking things with architectural drift
- Switched to a brownfield B-Mad refactor
We broke down:
- What Greenfield vs. Brownfield means
- PRD regeneration from existing code
- Epics as manageable chunks
- Test-driven refactoring (Codex vs Claude differences)
If you’re building anything larger than a toy project, this section matters.
* * *
☁️ Azure Pain + HIPAA Reality
Chris also hit Azure token limits inside a healthcare environment.
Discussion included:
- Azure’s confusing billing model
- Support escalation paths
- Why HIPAA compliance complicates everything
- The tension between “just use Claude” and enterprise constraints
If you work inside regulated spaces, this part hits home.

🛠 Wes: Google AI Studio + Infrastructure
We looked at:
- Dropping PRDs into Google AI Studio
- One-shot web app generation
- Gmail → Drive → AI workflows
- Why Google may be better positioned than OpenAI long-term
- Coolify + self-hosting stacks
- Free OCI servers with 24GB RAM
This wasn’t theory — it was “you can do this today.”
* * *
🚌 Aty: IIM Classes + Publishing a Book via Agent
Aty joined from a Volvo sleeper bus (full-night ride).
In between management classes, he:
- Finished his AI-assisted cybersecurity book
- Built tone-specific memory files
- Structured blueprints + synced memory
- Published the final version
Which is just… very on brand for this group.
* * *
Themes That Kept Showing Up
- You don’t need to be a traditional developer to ship.
- Architecture matters more than models now.
- PRDs are leverage.
- Lock-in is real — but reversible.
- You can reverse engineer almost anything now.
- The gap between idea → working thing is collapsing fast.
* * *
This was another great call with:
- real builds
- real constraints
- real experiments
- and people at different stages comparing notes
If you’re anywhere between “I’m just starting” and “I’m refactoring my agent framework,” you’ll get something from this one.
Watch it when you want perspective, not noise.
