Building Accessible Software Tools with Multi-Modal AI

Multi-modal AI is not just a party trick, it's a real unlock for making life (and work) more accessible. That's what Joe, principal software engineer at @babylist, is doing with Claude Code. After losing most of his vision in college to a rare genetic disorder, Joe had to figure out ways to do work on a screen with limited central vision. Then came AI, which was not only a huge unlock for his productivity as an engineer, but also helped him build custom tools to make software more accessible. In this ep you'll see Joe: - build slack extensions to "read" images - use claude code + vs code to develop a suite of useful chrome extensions - share how he develops claude skills to extend repeating patterns You'll also hear the most heartwarming use of Meta AI glasses yet 😎🫶 This is an inspiring ep, both for the 10x engineers out there as well as anyone thinking about the intersection of AI + accessibility.
