Curious to learn more. How well does file system work? At what scale are you operating? Do you see it scaling well into the future for your needs?

It seems local file system is the default for most folks starting out. I am curious to know when does this break down if ever.

Good write up - I think a lot of peoples journeys (at least my own) is completions api --> responses --> deeper into the tech.

How useful have you found the Agents SDK? Meaning the SDK taking care of sessions, chat history etc. is that very useful or just "its nice that it is there..." could have built it on your own if need be type of feature?

Much Luck on the EdTech tool - interesting on the PHP choice. Just personal preference?

Agreed, are you doing anything to take advantage of cacheing?

Anything else you can share about project?

I do see glimpses of lawsuits here and there on these guys. They all seem to just be flybys on the news to never appear again. Maybe something is happening and the resolution doesn't make the headline.

I think Facebook has been a shell of a useful company for a long time. Maybe some value in Instagram but I don't quite see it. It does seem like the AI companies are beginning to become unfavorable, with that being said, unsure how much of this is geopolitics where this is less of an issue with China and competing with China. I dont think I see the current administration/government doing anything.

Appreciate the message - I'd like to take the necessary steps to push my idea forward. In the ocean of everything AI, this idea is a single celled organism.

There for sure is something to be said about higher performers being high performers wherever/whatever role they're into. There is a large degree of luck but an even bigger degree of execution involved.

Part of the dilemma is would I be as successful financially if I went all in on W2 as well.

For me, I'd aim to be buddy#1 but I probably fall more inline with buddy#2.

I think the business partner advice makes sense and something I am considering. It is better to own 10% of 10M then 100% of 100K, but also just complimenting skill sets as well.

appreciate it

Very relevant, I think a lot of stuff in tech is romanticized, even things like doing a start up or getting into YC. We hear about the massive successes that the normal/median kind of disappears and is ignored.

I think from an odds perspective, one of the above is probably the highest likely hood if I leave w2.

Appreciate and grateful for your kind words :) Happy to hear of your success as an example of what makes this industry motivating.

You are correct my idea is infrastructure atop of current LLM technologies. Competitors exist and it may be that the LLM providers provide their own solution(s) as they have unlimited resources. I will be the first to admit that it is not "ground breaking" but rather boring but useful. I think personally if I have one success I can look at broader trends, but there is a real fear of the unknown.

I am curious on your opinion coming for government regulation just because it does not seem to be happening. I'd love to invest in the cloud companies (AWS, Azure, GCP etc) without being exposed to the broader business.

I have been conservative forever from a financial perspective. I feel comfortable enough to be out of W2 for a year or two.

but there is a real opportunity cost to leaving a w2 and jumping into an idea like this. Plus the fears that you stated as well are things I think about also.

Insanely difficult and borderline idiotic to ignore what you've stated. Difficult to know where we are on the curve and what will happen next.

I think there are a lot of similarities and parallels to those times happening now, maybe even more with more money and investment depending on it and expanding.

There are a lot of arguments to made on both sides. I guess the one i'd lean on is "Do we not build Amazon, Google and FB b/c dot com happened?" and the companies that I'm trying to build inspired by those guys.

I agree and appreciate it.

I am starting to figure out having a network and going into an idea would move things 10x or 100x faster, both from a success or failure route. You'd want to get to both as quickly as possible. I think what posting on HN gets me is some kind of signal toward something that I don't already have. A lot of generic but valuable advice here. Still validating in its own way.

I do agree with you - asking people for time is especially difficult "can you give me some advice" ... and then asking people for money is 100x more difficult. Even if they get something for said money.

Appreciate the post and thank you!

I think for me and the idea I saw a fundamental shift in the experience chatGPT provided once it was able to remember cross/post chat things. The APIs do not have this offering and are pretty bare, so being able to put this on top of any LLM API I think is a value add.

I am curious how you are using Claude in your case? Web-ui? Co-Work? Does not seem like API, but would help me.
