Less hype, more shipping.

In this Boozy Browsing episode, Matt and Meeky have a casual conversation about how they actually use AI day to day. Not keynote demos. The real stuff: letting Claude Desktop see your screen, automating visual regression tests, and knowing when an AI is confidently making things up.

They also get into the money question. Everyone argues about AI costs, but compared to the developer hours it saves, the API bill is a rounding error. The better question is whether you have defined what done looks like, because an AI without finishing criteria will happily keep going forever.

💡 WHAT WE COVER:

✅ How we actually use AI in daily agency work, beyond the demos
✅ Why AI API costs are the wrong thing to worry about
✅ Hallucinations, and why AI needs clear finishing criteria to know when it is done
✅ Claude Desktop seeing your screen, and what that unlocks
✅ Automating Backstop visual regression tests with Scout
✅ Why laziness is the mother of AI invention, and why that is a good thing

🔑 KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• The AI cost debate misses the point: the API bill is small next to the developer time it saves
• A lot of AI progress is smoke in the air; judge tools by what actually ships, not by demos
• Hallucinations are manageable when you give AI clear finishing criteria and check its work
• Screen-aware AI like Claude Desktop turns “describe the problem” into “look at the problem”
• Repetitive QA work like visual regression testing is exactly what AI automation is for
• The best automations come from a healthy dislike of doing the same task twice
