Built this after struggling to estimate real marketplace fees while selling across platforms. Would really appreciate feedback from anyone selling on Amazon/Etsy/eBay — especially if I missed fee edge cases.

That makes sense — the shift from task automation to decision automation feels like the real inflection point. The silence detection aspect is especially interesting. Reacting to the absence of signals is something most workflow tools still struggle with, and it’s usually where long-running systems fail in practice. Curious whether users tend to start with predefined agent patterns, or if they’re designing workflows from scratch once they understand the event model? I imagine abstraction becomes important pretty quickly as graphs grow.

Interesting direction — especially the event-driven autonomy part. One thing I’ve noticed while working on founder tooling is that the biggest challenge isn’t building agents anymore, but deciding, what workflows are actually worth automating before people invest time connecting tools and infrastructure. Curious how you’re seeing users define successful agent tasks — are they mostly repetitive operational workflows, or more decision-based use cases? Also wondering how you handle failure states when an agent runs long-term without supervision.

I thought, I'm the only person who faces this and feels like this.
