I started planning for this project in February, began coding in April, first release in July, and been active daily till today.
At first I was only trying to make a tool that makes my day easier, I want AI to follow the exact procedure to perform my requests, soon I realize almost 80% of the "expected procedure" is deterministic without even needing AI, in most cases AI is only needed in judge/review/summarize/orchestrate actions, all the rest of the dirty work can be done without AI and without paying a dime.
As a result I created https://github.com/recued/recued, it stores all my data in my own home, executes predefined recipes whenever I ask for, fast, and cheaply.
Is it a success? I don't know, but I am still actively improving it on daily basis.
I guess neither success nor failure fits my description, I found something that I am passionated about, and it is also making my day easier.
From the sentimental perspective, I call it my success.
