Mirror, Mirror on the Wall… Who Built the Smartest AI of All?

Episode 19: Mirror, Mirror on the Wall… Who Built the Smartest AI of All?

It’s a spooky special! Sam Nadler (a.k.a. Bad Bunny) and Jordan Metzner (the resident vampire) celebrate Halloween with a pair of AI-powered builds that bring equal parts fun and fright. First, they unveil Mirror, Mirror on the Wall, a poetic, Gemini-powered “talking mirror” built in Google’s new AI Studio. Then, they conjure up a “Trick-or-Treat Route Optimizer,” a playful demo that uses Maps and AI to find the best candy streets in your city.
In Tool of the Week, they explore Google’s Build Studio, a fresh entry into the “vibe coding” space, and explain why it’s a step-function improvement over other no-code tools. Gemini comes baked right in. Finally, in AI News, they break down Nvidia’s record-breaking $5 trillion valuation and Elon Musk’s Grok-a-pedia, a controversial AI-powered rival to Wikipedia.
Fun, fast builds. Real AI demos. And a whole lot of Halloween spirit.
