   that makes sense - and have wondered a lot even more generally about the price of software and what makes a hard problem hard. Like Amjad from Replit said on a podcast recently "can anyone build 'the next salesforce' in a wor

   thanks for sharing your experience so far! Like I said, we built this ourselves for another idea and it was painful. I have played with Make and I actually chatted w/ the gotohuman guy on zoom a while back, I like his approach as well,

   super relevant - yeah I think it was someone at anthropic who framed this as "cursor tab autocomplete, but for arbitrary API calls" - basically for everything else other than code

   that's a great idea - I put together one example for getting an MFA code for a website, but the captcha thing "pull a human into a web session" is something I've wanted to play with for a while

   thanks for the validation of the problem! totally open to feedback about the solution, and totally get that you only need something simple for now. I want to point out that we do have a pay-as-you-go tier which is $20 for 200 operations, an

    hah thanks dude! I am very bullish on TS as the long term thing, Not to turn this into a language vs language thread but I spend a lot of time thinking about why ppl struggle so much with python...so far I came up with concurrency abstracti

    P.S. nobody asked but since you made it this far - the next big problem in this space is fast becoming, what else do we need to be able to build these "headless" or "outer loop" AI agents? Most frameworks do a bad job of

    salesforce-ready is an interesting specialization, but makes a ton of sense if you're going after enterprise. Stoked to give this a spin. lemme know if/when you build the CLI agent that write my gherkin too

    do y'all see a way to ramp from mostly-human-in-the-loop to mostly-ai? Can you take a system that does 1% at the hard part of signal/tuning and teach it to get better over time? I'm thinking for a single particular applicatio
