2:31This is the Daily Tech News for Thursday, March 19th, 2026. We tell you what you need to know, give you the important context, and help each other understand. Well, today you've heard of Vibe Coding. Now Google is introducing us to Vibe Design inside Stitch. But I think I can figure out what that means. I'm Jason Howell. I'm Winwood Out. Let's start with what you need to know with a big story.

2:59I don't think it's very difficult to figure out what that means. Google has revamped its stitch design tool, bringing Vibe Coding to Vibe Design. Yes, that is using plain language and voice so that users can describe their design goals, their moods, and then hopefully in return, they're going to get some high fidelity clickable user interface UI on an interactive and infinite canvas. So imagine Stitch interviewing or, you know, kind of talking back and forth, chatting back and forth with the designer on what they're looking to accomplish with a particular design. And then that followed by a few, you know, maybe it's proposing a few layouts, a few user experience pathways that they can explore, all in an effort to kind of like iterate on that over the course of the conversation, the vibing, if you will.

3:54Google is also wiring these capabilities into the agentic ecosystem. Yes, there's an SDK, also an MCP server so that it can appear inside other tools like Cursor, like Cloud Code, Gemini CLI, that sort of stuff. And there's also a useful design.md markdown file, of course, that makes export and import of the design rules relatively painless and easy. I've never done it before. I can't speak to that myself. But it sounds like it's the sort of thing that makes import and export a lot easier. The update is free within Google Labs, at least for right now. Who knows? Maybe it ends up being part of an ultra subscription somewhere down the line.

4:36But Google didn't actually mention that. just kind of guessing right now because once it's in google labs it's kind of like they're playing around with it has been elevated into like a prime time thing yet that remains to be seen it is important to note that the release of stitcher or sorry not stitcher stitch appears to be having an immediate impact on figma at least as relates to its stock performance eight percent drop on the news now that's settled somewhere around five percent drop But definitely some direct correlation between the announcement of Stitch updates and this like, I don't know, AI driven LLM conversation design approach.

5:20And apologies, there is apparently construction going on in my garage. You are a developer. I work with designers. Yeah, you work with designers. And I know, curious to know your thoughts on this. Yeah, so I guess, again, as a design, I can't speak from it from the design standpoint and the utility of that, but I do feel like this is a natural progression. Obviously, if you're going to vibe code and vibe design it. And just like with coding, I feel like, again, as maybe more of a third party observer, there are a lot of things that kind of make sense in this kind of, I guess, ability to more direct the design part rather than going into something like Figma and laying out component by component.

6:04and like the manual effort of that, I do feel like there's a lot of like value in that. And just as like a side note, like my day job as an Android developer and I can't tell you how many projects I have been on that we might get, for example, as a project, as a mobile project, iOS designs, but never get Android designs because, and that's not, I mean, Android person feeling like that we're always put down upon a side, that could just be like a resourcing thing a lot of times for better for worse some companies just don't have as many designers as they have projects and capacity capacity for or the or need rather for that designer so a lot of times whenever they can you know understandably if they can do ios and like ask android folks to wing it or maybe vice versa we don't know um it's kind of the opposite at people i know's job right now so i can see like you know that could be helpful right so in in the case where for example again you're strapped on design resources, at least being able to have a little bit of that effort and that, like, again, manual layout taken out could mean that, hey, I could get Android designs.

7:09I do wonder about the export part. And I will say for Figma, to give them credit, they have an amazing, you know, ecosystem of first party and third party plugins that do a lot of great stuff in terms of managing design systems and also exporting it so that developers can use it easy. I do wonder like how good that is because that's always like the thing even now with like the manual way of doing it the export tends to be a little funny. It's like one thing to lay things out like pixel by pixel on a screen but then there's a lot more programmatic ways that we obviously that we program it. So I'm kind of curious the fidelity of that and also like other tools that you know don't get covered by Google whether that's like VSS or any other things but But I don't know.

7:54I'm very enthusiastic for the good parts and then kind of curious about other parts as is, I guess, usual for me. Yeah. And I mean, always with tools like this, people very frequently jump to the, oh, so now you're replacing designers or something. And when I look at a tool like this, I see it as more, meanwhile, I'm not a designer. So I think let us know what you think if you are a designer. But I think it's I feel like it's more akin to like blank page syndrome. It's like I've got an idea for a thing. I might not, you know, as a designer, let's say I might not be using this tool to necessarily create the design top to bottom for me.

8:34But here's here's the baseline. Here's the basic of where I want to begin. Give me a nice starting point. And then we can maybe riff on that a little bit or I can use that as an inspiration for something else. kind of build a little bit of that foundational understanding of what I'm going for. And then I can, as a skilled designer, let's say, do something really concrete and strong with that, either within the confines of what I've been given here or on my own. Maybe that informs me in some ideas or directions that I want to take on my own outside of it. Yeah, 100%. And as a developer who always has a side hustle idea, that's kind of the one thing.

9:13I have so many good side hustle ideas and absolutely no way to start designing them. So I think, especially for people maybe who are on my side of the fence and want to do their own project or do their own thing, or if you're just neither a designer or developer, now you can have both sides of everything and have something that is beautiful. By the way, also having high fidelity clickable UI on an interactive design, because a lot of times we just get static pages and then there's a lot of litigation about, oh, what happens when this thing? I do like the idea of having something that's like a real mock-up where you can kind of see like how things flow that's pretty cool and and that's another again another thing that i think is available on certain platforms maybe figma i'm not sure but that takes time to add which unfortunately we don't a lot of us don't have so yeah i i would love to hear a designer because obviously i have a lot of hot takes on ai when it comes to coding less so for design so i i mean if you you have any like for sure if you have insight um from the design side of this and how how does vibe design make you feel So yeah, feedback at dailytechnewshow.com.

10:13There you go. You got where I was going. One final thing. No, no, no, exactly. I wanted to make sure that we got the email address because I would love to hear from people on this. I think one final kind of thing that I have on this is we, that is you and I have talked a number of times about this kind of moment we're in with Vibe Coding where people who are absolutely not developers, you know, you got your developers and let's say in this case, your designers who do this for a living. And then you've got people who just use their phones or just use their computer and they have an idea and they just want to spin something up real quick because this quick vibe-coded app addresses one of their challenges and they don't have to go hunting for it.

10:55I do wonder if this is kind of that, but for design, for those people. That's pretty empowering, if so. Yeah, 100%, 100%. Well, guess what? Us here at DTNS are empowered by you, the listener. We are made possible by you, so we want to take time to thank Aaron Sturr, Ken Hayes, and Philip Shane. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

14:05There is so much more we need to know today. So much more. So let's get to the briefs. Well, OpenAI has announced plans to buy Python tooling startup Astral, bringing its team into the Codex group. Astral has strong traction with Python developers through its tools like rough flinter and formatter which speed up my Python workloads for writing testing and debugging code Astral will continue to build out the open source platform from inside the codex team hmm so now this this is not necessarily a closed deal yet this was just kind of announced so it's still in the works but yeah I mean you know i've i've heard of astral i again i'm not a developer you are but but i feel like you've mentioned like you don't work a whole lot with python directly is that right or do you i don't know python sorry i know it's like the most popular programming language in like in like the world i actually don't know python that well at all yeah yeah like like linting linting is a terminology do you can you yes i educate us on what lint is i'm i forget the etymology of linters but linters are basically um they analyze code and let you know when you're doing something that's not so good so usually we think of warnings yeah so it's it's it's i again i don't know the etymology of the term i think there's something good there but yeah and formatters we use formatters that's code formatting so we don't have to individually put in the spaces or tabs that's like a whole oh that's nice that's a that's a spiritual debate by the way uh tabs versus spaces in code um spaces all the way um so yeah i mean these are very common things and it it makes it makes sense.

15:40I'm not exactly sure how rough works, but being able to automate these tools or even, I don't know how it is on Python, but writing linters, at least for Java and Kotlin, is not the easiest thing. But at the same time, especially day to day, you kind of run into things that you would prefer not to do. And having linters kind of helps your team figure out what their coding standards are. So it definitely is a place where we could use some extra help. I'm kind of curious what your thoughts are on the open source platform within OpenAI. Obviously, we're Android people, so I suppose we shouldn't be too surprised because of the relationship between AOSP and Google.

16:22But I don't know, what is your read on this from OpenAI? Yeah, I mean, I'm curious about that too, right? Like if this is an open source, you know, a known open source kind of system platform that people are used to seeing in that light. And, you know, they did mention at least in the news that they plan for this to continue to be open source. But yeah, I don't know what my read is on that because I don't know how committed open AI is. You know, like at least with Google, you and I have worked with Google and followed it for long enough to know that they do have a, you know, there is a strong kind of foundational kind of adherence to open source ideology or whatever you want to call it, kind of the foundation around that uh with open ai i'm a little less certain on that you know does it become does it stay open source i would imagine so but um if that's what they're stating but i guess yeah i guess we'll find out i don't know that for sure i guess if we want to wildly speculate like caveat for wild speculation you know on the android side we've seen increasingly android it's still open source but it feels more like it's becoming a tool or arm of google more directly like it's yeah for It's open source.

17:35Over a long period of time. Over a long period of time. Yeah, it's not closed off yet, but it definitely feels like their priority is, say, their pixel and their proprietary stuff, but it's still open source. And so I just wonder, again, this is wild speculation. Maybe OpenAI has nothing but altruistic motives here in keeping an open source project alive. But, I mean, it could be possible that it's just a way to have good integrations with a widely used tool. Who knows? I don't know. Speculation? I mean, and this is also a very big moment for companies like Anthropic that are really going deep on the coding.

18:11OpenAI really trying to keep itself in all of these high impact areas like the enterprise. And that's really true. Using tools like this and particularly Anthropic. That's one big one big feather in their cap right now. They're getting a lot of traction around their coding in the enterprise. And so I think this is OpenAI just doing what it can because it feels like they're kind of on a buying push right now to buy these companies to fill in the holes that they might have to make them better. Yeah, great point. Great point. Yeah. Nothing CEO Carl Pei spoke on a panel at South by Southwest in Austin just last night or yesterday where he shared his belief that traditional smartphone apps will fade as AI agents become more prevalent.

18:58He argues that today's smartphones are stuck in a 20-year-old App Store Plus icons model where users are forced to jump through several apps to accomplish varied tasks. So he used grabbing coffee with someone as his example. He says, you know, that's a simple task, but it still requires using four apps. You got your messaging, your maps, your Uber, your calendar to do that one thing. His belief is that this is a broken user experience when agents can actually manage it for users end-to-end, or maybe not can, but will be able to as they develop and get better at doing that. He also believes that agents on smartphones won't be using the human interface as we do, that is what we see and interact with, but rather connecting to an underlying interface that's meant for the agents themselves.

19:50That's a pretty interesting concept. We've definitely talked about it before, I know. Carl Pei is comparing this current era of smartphone design and UX to PDAs that came before the iPhone, right? Once the iPhone came, it was like, okay, that looks dated almost immediately and archaic. Do you agree? I mean, I do think that there's some truth to this. I think the way that agentic AI is building out and the way that we use our smartphones, there hasn't been a whole lot of difference in how we use our smartphones the last couple of decades. It does kind of seem like this moment is ripe for change.

20:25I don't know how effective it's going to be, but I'm curious to know your thoughts. I think the thing that resonates most with me, which I do believe is the idea that there's some going to be some kind of interface that is meant specifically for agents, because as I understand, a lot of them now basically go through a human interface, which is probably not the most efficient and probably like right for error. Whereas if you have some kind of like communication protocol, it wouldn't be a protocol, a communication protocol, but some kind of interface, some kind of like system for agents to do specific things.

20:53I think that there's definitely something there. I do and I don't think what he's proposing or what his envisioning is necessarily a bad thing I think everything has an isolation that makes sense right that's definitely a very sci-fi I can't think of an assistant I mean I guess kind of like her maybe movie for the more contemporary I do wonder though just because apps apps are a lot about brand identity and product identity that's the biggie and that's the biggie and that's the part that I'm not sure I and I don't want to sound like a Luddite and I don't want to anticipate that most companies would would would reject like a future where this was the thing.

21:33But I think we'll have a hard time getting there because there's so much again, like, yeah, brand identity and product. And I don't like because the whole idea is that you want to as much you want to provide the users of service, but you only want to sell them on that experience. And if the experience become homogenized, then I guess how do you like say apps that are similar in space compete with each other? Like, is that, or is that just then, I guess I don't understand what that model would be. I don't think that we have that figured out yet. I totally agree, right? Like, I think that there is the brand identity is tied into the app experience as well.

22:06You know, the company can make the app resemble their brand identity. It can, you know, feature things that are high priorities for them, de-emphasize things that are not. But if everything is hidden underneath a layer of, well, the agent will figure that all out, then how do you know this company versus that, this service versus that? How do you know about new features? And there's a whole lot of uncertainty. And how does it know which one to choose when you want to do a particular task? Yeah. Because when I install an app, I'm basically saying, this is the thing I want to use to do that thing.

22:39Yes. Or that task. You know, and when everything is kind of underneath in a hidden layer that only agents access, does that become less uh less efficient or less apparent i guess to the user yeah it doesn't matter if that happens does that actually matter at the end of the day you know it doesn't matter um i i do think also there's something about it i guess it's a sort of a if maybe it's a symptom if you recall carplay said of this current like way that we do this but that also at least apps tend to be sort of sandboxed from each other. The thing about an underlying interface where agents can access things, it's just like any other more raw API.

23:20There's room for abuse. There's issues of data sharing and things like that. On Android and I presume iOS, sharing between apps is a lot more explicitly done and requires us to click through. As users probably are aware, lots of web views with flows of like, hey, let this thing have permission to this. Or whether if you're an Android, you're clicking a lot of boxes to give things permission. i don't think we have a good resolution to that as well because as we've seen already that's kind of an issue with agents right now and and not being aware of permissions that they're getting so i feel like that also as much as i think that that that makes sense i also feel like that's another problem that was another problem so yeah yeah it's also worth i'm just mentioning here real quick before we go uh move on that nothing recently and i'm sure we talked about it on dtns in the past shipped the Essential Apps Playground system.

24:09This is their vibe coding, personalized mini apps and widgets thing on nothing devices. And as we know, Carl Pei, running nothing, nothing as a smartphone brand, does things differently at its core. It's kind of the foundation of their brand is we are not your normal smartphone company. We're thinking about things differently. Our phones look different. He's thinking a lot into these directions. So I'm not surprised that he would be the one to really kind of, you know, say this is the future and it actually ends up being the future remains to be seen. But I think there's probably some truth to it.

24:46Yeah, me too. All right. Well, Rivian will sell Uber up to 50 ,000 fully autonomous R2 based robo taxis, starting with 10 ,000 vehicles coming to San Francisco and Miami by 2028. The plan is to scale to 25 cities by 2031. Oh, my gosh. And the deal is worth up to 1.25 billion Uber has already committed$300 million, and everything is pending regulatory approval. Sorry, I just got kind of frightened by the fact that 2031 is not that far away. So, you know, Ripple Taxis are coming, y 'all. Dun, dun, dun. Yes, they are. Yeah. And depending on whatever city you're in, you know, they feel less and less sci-fi and more just normal, you know.

25:28But I think the wide majority of people have not had interaction with them. Yeah, this is a big vote of confidence for Rivian, I think. And definitely Wall Street has agreed with that. The Rivian stock shot up 10 % on the news. I think now it's settled around 4 % up from prior to the news. But Rivian has had its ups and it's had its downs. But consistently, I know a few people who have Rivians. They absolutely love them. And I think this coming from Uber is a great position for Rivian to bring that name back into the spotlight. Yeah, 100%. Obviously, everyone's committing a lot of capital or money into this.

26:12So I guess we'll see how it goes. And it's the same. I've never heard nothing but good things about the Rivian vehicles themselves. I guess we'll see how the autonomous part works. Yeah. And I mean, Uber's got a big priority on Robotaxi right now, right? This isn't the same thing as their in-house fleet that's a partnership, I think, with Lucy and Nuro. I may have written that down wrong. I know Nuro, Lucy, that might be wrong. But they also have a partnership with NVIDIA on the deployment of software-driven autonomous vehicles in LA and SF. That's a separate thing that's happening mid-next year.

26:49So, yeah, more on this from Uber in the coming months. All right. Well, we already asked you to send us feedback via email. But guess what? You can also just do that on the socials. There's plenty of ways. We're at DTNESshow on X, Instagram, Threads, Blue Sky, and Mastodon. TikTok on YouTube. You can find us at Daily Tech News Show.

28:49And now some quick headlines that are just good to know might make you look smarter in the future. Metal will keep Horizon Worlds running on Quest headsets after all, according to CTO Andrew Bosworth in an Instagram AMA last night, at least for the, quote, foreseeable future. Boy, that was a quick turnaround. It was like one day and they were like, oh, actually, no, it's not going anywhere. Oops. The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, a.k.a. CISA, warned companies to secure remote management systems after malicious attackers used access to Microsoft's Intune to remotely wipe devices at medical equipment maker Striker.

29:27CISA recommends high-impact changes like remote deletion should require two administrators' approval. A World Happiness Report finds that algorithm-driven, influencer-heavy apps like Instagram and TikTok are linked to lower happiness and worse mental health in younger users compared to connection-based platforms like WhatsApp and Facebook, which correlate with higher life satisfaction. I saw Facebook in the correlation to higher life satisfaction. I was like, really? Okay. A little bit, yes. I did upturn my nose slightly. Sorry. Okay. iOS 26.4 addresses a decade-old complaint, finally letting adult family-sharing members use their own payment methods for purchases instead of always charging the organizer's card on the account.

30:15People have not been happy about this over however many years, so finally they made the change. Oh, my God. There's a bug report or issue tracker out there that's decades old, and someone had the, yeah, got to close that. That must have been very satisfying. Must have. All right, well, Amazon is rolling its new AI assistant Alexa Plus in the UK through a free early access program for new Echo buyers before making it a free perk for Prime members and a$19.99 British pound sterling per month option for everyone else. I was like making sure that I wasn't invoking anyone's things. My bad. You know what?

30:51It's bound to happen. Try as we might, sometimes we let them through. Adobe Firefly lets creators train private custom image models now using their own digital assets so they can produce on-brand visuals with locked-in styles and characters. Okay. Well, the FBI has resumed the buying of app source commercial location data on American users without warrants, according to the agency's director, Kash Patel. A meta-agentic AI apparently replied to an internal security question without being given permission, and the recipient of that message followed the agent's bad advice, which led to unauthorized access to internal systems being granted to engineers.

31:37So it was like a chain of events that happened, all driving back to this agent that posted something it wasn't supposed to and didn't have permission for. Meta says no user data was exposed. Well, that's good. Major League Baseball has named Polymarket its exclusive prediction market partner, granting logo and data rights while it works with the Commodity Futures Trade Commission on an integrity framework that limits high risk in game markets. Okay. Polymarket. I'm hearing more and more about that. Perplexity Comet has launched on iOS and iPadOS, bringing Perplexity's answer engine, its ad block, its multi-step agentic tasks happening in the cloud to Apple devices four months after it launched on Android.

32:24It's one of those rare cases where the app launched on Android first. Gotta love it. And finally, Google says it will let UK publishers block their content from AI overviews and promises users will get easier default search switching, though the details are kind of vague. But they promise. They promise. Well, we end every episode of DTNS with some shared perspectives today. Bob has a question for me about the smart glasses that I talked about last Friday, almost a week ago. All right, well, Bob writes, Jason did a nice job of summarizing the differences in how the Rayneo Air 4 Pro on the show comparing to other similar devices and exploring the use cases.

33:04However, what was missing was the accessibility of these devices. Will they fit over my existing prescription glasses from the video? Fairly obviously no. There was no discussion about if this particular device will work for the large percentage of the population who need some sort of corrective lenses. Devices have done different things to accommodate over the years. HoloLens fits over existing glasses, magically pads prescription inserts, etc. Thanks for always keeping us informed on all the latest tech. Bob, great question, Bob. Yeah, great question. And I should kind of add that into my standard approach when I review these smart glasses because you're right, it does impact a lot of people.

33:42I'm actually wearing my corrective glasses today instead of contacts, though I prefer contacts. But many of these do ship with a little kind of insert in the box. If you're watching the video version, I'm kind of showing it to you right now. It might be kind of hard to see because, well, it's glass, right? So it kind of blends in. But the idea here is that this is the right kind of cutout and approach for getting prescription lenses crafted that fit into the glasses. kind of they insert into the glasses themselves. There are companies like Lensology is one of them that already have kind of the detail in order to take your prescription and give you the lenses that actually will fit your smart glasses of choice.

34:34So there are ways to do this. More often than not, there is some way to tackle that. If it's this little insert, you know as it is with the air for pro there you go um sometimes you can actually get prescription lenses made that fit right into the glasses but that's just for like your you know like your meta smart glasses and that sort of stuff a little different from these but there you go may i say that being inspired from last week's was it last week was it last week last week's discussion um i did get a pair of face displays i got the i did upgrade to the x-real pro because i heard that they also have really good audio i'm really finding it interesting i'm literally i was legit like trying to program and i might i might take it with me on vacation so i we i definitely was inspired and it also did have the x-ray pro for example did have those what are the glasses without arms called i think it's like prince prince prince nez something prince nez princey nez prince in his anyway glasses without arms like this thing yeah there's like there's like not like a monocle like a monocle but like yeah there's there's a type of glasses that don't have arms that you just pinch on your nose i don't know if it's like old school like 1800s old school but that's a thing um okay anyway never worn those glasses before it came with those it came with those the prescription version like that you held on basically not not like but but but basically that's what the prescription insert looked like and i was kind of wondering what they were at first yeah i mean that's that's kind of what these are exactly yeah look like you know i can't don't if i can even show on my overhead but yeah kind of similar it's it's like an insert that just goes yeah same exact same thing like the x-ray does that i presume like having it fit over your glasses or or something like that is easier and less expensive or just less time consuming yeah you can it's just it's just kind of funky you know what i mean oh yeah yeah totally it's it's definitely even nerdier if you didn't think these things It could get any nerdier.

36:33That makes it even nerdier. But it does push the display a little bit further back, so you are more likely to get kind of like trimmed edges in the view. That sort of thing. I'm still learning.
