About AI Worth Using

AI Worth Using is the show where Plow founder Sam Odio and GitHub co-founder Tom Preston-Werner install AI tools live, on camera, with the people who actually built them. No benchmark comparisons, no sponsored takes. Just installing it, learning it, and both of them giving their honest verdict on whether it's actually worth using in your workflow.
