Ben Tossell Signs Up for Magic Path Pro After AI Design Tool Generates Components

ai-technology · 2026-05-28

Ben Tossell, creator of the Ben's Bites newsletter, signed up for a paid plan of Magic Path, an AI design tool that generates assets and components on a shared canvas. After tweeting frustrations about building interactive components for a course, Pietro, whom Tossell met at OpenAI's Dev Day, recommended Magic Path. Tossell tested it on a fun experiment, generating mechanical-style components, and quickly upgraded to a pro plan. The newsletter also covers Claude Code's new security plugin, DeepSWE benchmark results, and the OpenAI Foundation's $250M commitment to economic transition. Cursor announced Compile, a one-day event on June 16 in San Francisco.
