From people using coding agents to grow tomatoes (yes, really) to CES 2026, the roadmap for 2026 is officially here. This edition is a special strategic deep dive, grounded in the trends I’ve been tracking since we started this journey two years ago.

Agentic Trends
Claude Code: The Swiss Army Knife of 2026
Claude Code was built for terminal-based programming, but the community has started "bastardizing" it for tasks Anthropic never intended.
The most viral example this week?
Hardware Hookups: Users are connecting Claude Code to IoT sensors to regulate heat, light, and humidity.
Tomato Growth: One explorer successfully used the agent's logic to manage a tomato plant's entire lifecycle.
Beyond Code: People are now using the terminal agent as a "daily driver" for marketing and image gen.
This represents Category 2 of our 2026 trends: Bleeding-edge tools being pushed to their absolute limits by creative explorers. If an agent can grow a plant, it can manage your supply chain.
🧠 Prediction: We are in the "prehistoric era" of agents. Watch what the power users are doing with Claude Code today—those will be the "one-click" features in mainstream apps by December.

📊 Execute Bulk Prompts Directly in Google Sheets
Stop wasting time jumping between tabs. You can now run LLM prompts across hundreds of rows of data simultaneously. Here’s how to set it up:
Open a Google Sheet (with Gemini for Workspace enabled).
In any cell, type the new function
=AI().Write your prompt in quotes, or reference a cell:
=AI("Summarize this feedback", A2).Drag the corner of the cell down to apply the prompt to your entire list.
🔍 Why it’s special: * It handles bulk data processing in seconds.
You can use variables to personalize hundreds of emails or descriptions at once.
No more clunky API calls or third-party plugins.
💡 Pro tip: Use this for sentiment analysis on customer reviews or to categorize a year's worth of expenses in one go.
