I think “software factory” just means automations where bots pick up tickets and spin up code changes. Maybe Stripe has that many well defined bugs but there’s no way it works if you’re building anything remotely complex. There’s just a lot

show me an example and what do you mean by real money?

Depends what you mean by distribution, they are spending an arm and a leg on paid acquisition

This is just a bet that the models will get better and that all the half baked never seen production Lovable apps will be able to be brought life because of that. I am fading that bet personally and am bearish on non technical people buildi

if you've tried to legitimately productionize LLMs to deliver a specific repeatable outcome, rather than human editable output(text, code), you know the models still aren't there yet and the whole product experience feels hacky

Would Cursor tab assisted code be considered AI generated? I feel like that was the epitome of AI assisted but quality code

Everyone is building these same looking apps that look like Codex, Claude desktop. We don't need these. Slackbots work more than well enough to collaborate with agents.

Building from ground up using OpenAI Agents SDK. We already have custom in house Cloud Development Environment, so the effort is just to "agent-ize" though which is not small. That's why I feel any team with any sort of infra

just a data point, at my company we are building this internally. if you're targeting people building from scratch it might work, but there's no way you can port any somewhat mature infra stack, nor will the org want to. you'

No one is going to churn Slack for this just because it is "Agent First". Slack is more than good enough to tag Agents and will fill in the missing pieces slowly

So basically web scraping as a service with an API on top?

They'll route traffic to Haiku or one of their cheaper models, not third parties. Overall cost will end up being cheaper than whatever you are doing

Large model companies will likely build this and make it better. It'll also be cheaper overall since they'll be subsidizing token cost if you use them directly vs third party router paying API costs

Seems like over engineering just build an API in front of your agent, give the other agent the spec in a markdown file.

Is this a bet that Computer Use models don't get better and cheaper?

how can I short the we won't read code anymore bet?

I haven't seen one unique product in AI, everyone is building the same thing

aren't the edge cases not generalizable and specific to the business? It doesn't seem like a one size fits all solution would work

Those were consumer apps, not B2B. No deep niche experience needed, Uber had to fight regulations but wasn't something industry knowledge would've helped with a ton

by asdev 4mo ago
I wonder if this approach to starting a vertical business the founders have 0 experience in has ever panned out. I know YC pushes the B2B SaaS angle as hard as possible, searching for "underserved" niches, but seems like if you do

where did you get your ideas from then? did you have domain knowledge already? can DM you if you want

by asdev 4mo ago
what a cool business. were you in the music world before starting this?

by asdev 4mo ago
Why didn't you found yourself at any point? I understand gaining experience as a founding engineer, but after a certain point, you need to work as hard as the technical founder, take the same career risk, for way less payout

by asdev 4mo ago
I would define that as success. My definition is the feeling of success in the eyes of the founders, not millions of dollars or whatever hyped up benchmark

were your projects in spaces you were familiar with? I feel like that makes the dart less random. Also I feel like it's hard to get customers/users on calls

Can you clarify more on your "overnight success"?
