Today’s guest is Paige Bailey, Developer Relations Lead at Google DeepMind. And before that, Principal Product Manager at GitHub, where she launched Copilot and several other AI products.

With Paige, we went through a quick demo of how to build and deploy a fully functioning application just with your voice, one that includes accessing your camera, manipulating pictures, and having AI doing a live interview with you to fill out your profile. So this is a bit different episode than usual, so I encourage you to check out the full video, where Paige shares her screen and goes through all the steps.

And we also talked about:

  • What’s coming about AI

  • How engineers should think about their work

  • How the Google DeepMind team is changing with all roles, basically converging to one.

So let’s dive right into the action.
