Built a tool that turns 60-min YouTube videos into 5-min articles. Walked through every AI step: Google AI search for research, Copilot scaffolding a Spring Boot app, prompt-driven integration with Supadata, and Gemini Flash for article generation.

Agents fail at stateful workflows not because they can’t call endpoints, but because they don’t know what it can do next. Hypermedia APIs can publish valid next actions with current state. Less guesswork, fewer bad transitions. Worth thinking about. robintegg.com/2026/06/03/hyp…

Great news if this is true? Free? Can I stop panicking about my copilot tokens?
Microsoft launched their own coding AI and it's FREE inside GitHub Copilot starting today 😳
not rented from OpenAI. built by Microsoft.
it's called MAI-Code-1-Flash and it's rolling out to ALL copilot tiers right now
part of microsoft's new MAI model family:
- MAI-Code-1-Flash (coding)
- MAI-Thinking-1 (reasoning, 35B params)
- MAI-Image-2.5 (image gen)
- MAI-Transcribe-1.5 (speech, 43 languages)
who gets it:
- free plan ✅
- pro plan ✅
- pro plan ✅
- max plan ✅
what makes it different:
- trained inside copilot's production environment, not externally tested then shipped
- 60% fewer tokens on complex tasks vs comparable models
- 85.8% on microsoft adversarial coding benchmark
- 256K context window
full setup guide (github copilot MAI-Code-1-Flash - free):
step 1: create a free github account
> go to github.com/signup
> sign up for free
step 2: enable github copilot
> go to github.com/github-copilot/si…
> select the free plan - no credit card needed
step 3: install the VS Code extension
> open VS Code
> press ctrl shift x (windows) or cmd shift x (mac)
> search "GitHub Copilot"
> install the extension by GitHub
step 4: sign in
> VS Code will show a "Sign in to GitHub" prompt
> click it, approve in the browser, return to VS Code
step 5: open copilot chat
> press ctrl shift i (windows) or cmd shift i (mac)
> the chat panel opens on the right side
step 6: select MAI-Code-1-Flash
> click the model dropdown at the bottom of the chat panel
> choose MAI-Code-1-Flash from the list
> done
already have copilot? skip straight to step 5
microsoft built this without openai data, free coding model wars are getting serious.

Discovery before planning is now default in my AI workflow. Load context, run discovery, write plan, implement. Simple and repeatable.

I was tired of rebuilding the same Copilot setup for every new repo.
So I created my own ai-toolkit: versioned bundles of prompts, agents, skills and instructions, installable via JBang in minutes.

“Plan mode is solution-oriented. Ask mode gives short answers. Discovery is the missing phase between them.”
Built a VSCode Discovery Agent for investigating before planning ⬇️

MCP gives LLMs structured access to your app via Tools, Resources & Prompts. Spring AI wraps it with Boot starters & annotations that feel natural to Spring devs. 🧵

AI writing assistance has a hidden cost: your voice gets lost. Em dashes, lists, filler everywhere. I built a writing skill to lock in my voice as explicit rules, not vague intentions.

Want to build your own AI tools on top of your GitHub Copilot license? The Java Copilot SDK lets you write Java code to drive Copilot sessions and agentic workflows. No extra API keys.
Includes a working JBang file summarizer to get you started.

You fixed it. The AI did it again next session.
You learned. The AI didn't.

AI lowers the floor, not the ceiling.
It made starting yorkshiregolf.life easy. Finishing it? That was still on me. Don't confuse a one-shot prototype with a finished product. The mindset to ship is still yours to find.

The Java UI space is way more active than people give it credit for — and the community response to my recent post proved it.
So I've built a home for those conversations: awesome-java-ui.com/
