Such as? Are they able to recognize arbitrary GUI elements from various desktop programs, web browsers, etc?

What does your perception look like, are you using raw screenshots? GUI snapshots? Vision is very difficult for these, and snapshots are incomplete, is what I've found in some earlier experiments.

What are some truly valuable companies that would be accurately described as just "UIs around Postgres"? I think it's a non-sequitur - either companies are much more than just UIs around a DB, or those companies just aren&#x2

I've heard this idea echoed quite a few times. But can anybody name a wrapper company as/more valuable than foundation model companies like OpenAI, DeepSeek, Anthropic, Mistral, etc? Only one that comes to mind is Perplexity, but

Those are good ones. I've fiddled with similar systems before, do you have a rough success rate? I know they can be finicky, especially as you execute through a chain-of-thought action plan, or however you're doing it.

Very cool! Any video demos for sample tasks? I didn't come across any on the website (browsing on mobile).

Is this like window/program repositioning for multiple monitors or something? Just making sure I understand. Would you describe how every window should be positioned? And if so would you want to just do so once, and then have the confi

Great question. It's a combination of economics - lower-wage humans do many tasks much better - and technology - precise manipulation of tools and navigation of novel environments is incredibly difficult. Any small seemingly trivial ta

Interesting examples. Personally, I don't really consider Ebay, AirBnB, Reddit, or Substack to be "technology companies". They are businesses that happen to be online, imo. I'm sure that e.g. AirBnB has lots of machine l

Indeed that's a good distinction that I don't think is made. Some of the other advice I've gotten from YC/PG essays is of the form 'build what seems cool' (if you're a technical and curious person). This s

That would be my ideal device haha... have any particular devices of that nature you'd recommend? Lower end on cost would be preferred.

Appreciate the ego boost, but it was literally some modifications to python opencv demos available on their webpage. But that's what's amazing, it was up and running so fast and worked cross-platform after 5 minutes of debugging s

Funny enough I actually did Android development contract work circa 2012-2014. I never did anything more complex than working with internal phone components (bluetooth, accelerometer/gyroscope, GUI/text, etc) and SQLite, but even

As someone a lot deeper into robotics I totally get this sentiment... But I also think it's good to encourage people to share the basics, look how many newcomers in this thread find it interesting and may explore it further. I wonder h

Nice build! I always wanted one of those AR robot arms but I'd rather buy it off-the-shelf than assemble from scratch. I don't think anyone sells them pre-built though. This type of 'high level hobbyist robotics' is in a

I've done similar projects in the past (robot arms pushing performance limits in the few thousand $ range), and I found pretty good results with stepper motors, and gearboxes with sufficiently low backlash. For reference, these designs
