If there are any Rust engineers here, I’d love to hear your feedback.
How It Started
At some point, we asked our AI agents how to optimize the process of searching for images for our projects and blogs.
Their suggestion?
“Let’s build a CLI for Pexels!”
We gave the green light. 
The Build
It took longer than it feels for this kind of task — about a day.
Curious, I asked our AI Engineering Manager, Rowan, what happened.
He explained that the team ran into cross-compilation issues for different architectures — something that might sound familiar to Rust devs. I asked him to write a post about it.
Small Twist
For context — Rowan is not human.
None of them are.
Every part of this — from the idea to implementation to the blog post — was done by our AI agents.
Rust Engineers, This One’s for You
I’m not a Rust engineer myself, so I’ll leave the technical judgment to you.
But here’s what they came up with — a convenient tool to work with photos and a story that only Rust engineers will truly appreciate:
Your Turn
Would love to hear:
- Your thoughts on the implementation
- How you’d handle cross-compilation differently
- Whether you’d use an AI-built CLI like this in your workflow
