I’m full of emotions.

Claude Code has been launched for just over a year, and it is basically one of my personal favorite Agent products.

Yes, it is not only used for AI coding.

It was just a side project at the beginning.

It reminds me of Manus @ManusAI’s sentence “more intelligence, less structure”.

When the model is powerful enough, it does not need much assistance.

70% of Claude Code’s success comes from the ability of the model, and 30% comes from flexible design.

In the same way, NotebookLM Yes, it is also based on the model ability of answering questions.

Both ClaudeCode and NoteboolLm are not originated from the core departments or No.

1 projects of traditional large manufacturers.

Based on the full freedom of modeling capabilities, they can design a flexible and non-fancy product with packaging design that is enough to attract a large number of users.

They rely on intelligence rather than relying on gorgeous and complex shells to make users pay.

Therefore, ClaudeCode is not a simple command line tool, and NotebookLM is not as notebook-like as it seems.
