i recently used Magic Patterns for a very niche use case and had a great experience:

i wanted to do show new customers examples of how they can use my product, which lives primarily in email.

to do it via Loom I would need to create tons of fake email addresses and juggle a whole complicated set of scenerios. and to do it in after effects would take forever.

so i used magic patterns to make an app that lets me upload JSON scripts of the email threads, and it animates them. if you skip to ~1 min mark on this video you can see the output https://drive.google.com/file/d/1iWC5U2Q3x30I5m1bTuN9c2OnfDo...



that's kind of you to share here!

Yes, it's incredible seeing what you can do with pure code. I think that's a lot of the magic here: with code, you can do anything. This part is super gratifying to work on.

From day 1, we have thought of code as a first-class citizen in Magic Patterns because that's all the LLM sees. So then at the application layer, it becomes our job to best help the user interact the LLM a.k.a feed it the most relevant code. This part is suuuuuper challenging.


Hey, your demo is great! (Neat use of Magic Patterns). Curious, do you provide outlook functionality?
