Have you tried owning a landrover? No use in parts availability but they make it completely unaffordable to maintain them.. (as a business model imo)
We’ll see how this plays out, but the industry definitely needs a calibration

I’m with you on this. I tried to get Argon access for our org and failed. gave up. moved on. Still just 3.8 in the dropdown for us.. Thinking its just in so Ai studio app or something and not in gemini app?

Very nice! Keen to try this out, been avoiding to add any MS to my new mac, and bumping into office files a few times a week sucks.

I have to agree on fable being in another league. I’ve given it my most challenging problems and almost always comes back with a functional, solution 2-5 prompts away from a finished pr. Literally smashed our backlog - very impressed. What i found most efficient is to add “use sonnet agents for research” gets you really far, and on large not so novel tasks “use opus for tasks” by adding this it spins up many agents, works for 2+ hours in a usage window and completes A LOT of work.

I mean.. just take a minute and listen to the CEO. The guy is having a hard time time. Clearly out of touch imo.

Indeed. With Lowdefy we really try to go to great effort to abstract away the plumbing. We're very pleased with how simple the config surface is for these Agents.

Sure. We've been building Lowdefy since 2020, we use it as the web framework for all our consulting customers at https://resonancy.io , where we build back office software for businesses.
We've built all kinds of internal tools using Lowdefy, CRMs, reporting apps, ticketing systems, workflow, SOP and QC tools, call centre automation tools, customer portals, survey apps and more.
We find that having a well define abstraction framework in place helps us scale our custom apps really efficiently, particularly from a maintenance pov. Also sharing work across our team, etc. It helps if everything is pluggable, and well documented. By making Lowdefy open-source it has helped our team maintain the discipline to enforce best practices across our stack.
Lowdefy is very declarative, and it lets you build data intensive web apps in just a few lines of yaml. With AI code gen, this is where the power of the framework guard rails and generated apps really accelerate the apps we can create while following the same patterns that our team applies over all the solutions we build.
As for change in direction, no. We have a demand for building agentic experiences from our customers, and found that we could wrap it really nicely into the Lowdefy framework, especially when building in additional functionality like agents co-authoring web forms and more.
We feel that agents inside your apps is a great fit, since you can expose the same api routes, auth roles and more to agents with ease.
Well done on spawnfile. Looks very interesting!

Well done on the launch! We’ve doubled down on the apps as YAML paradigm a few years ago and its pay great dividends on all fronts, esp now with code gen spinning out apps faster than ever for us (generated yaml). Our largest app is well over 500k lines of yaml - for those complaining about 1000 lines lol. With the right tool stack and conventions its so much easier to read, write. review and maintain.
Shameless plug, we’ve built Lowdefy (open source) and 100s of dashboards using it. Have a look and keen to unpack if you’re interested in sharing experiences. Specially have a look at what we did with operators for dynamic needs.

It sure is hard. But have a closer look, these guys have been going over the results for 10 years improving, refining and discarding. What also helps is that they are highly regarded career scientists and engineers. Dig a little deeper on this one..
Not saying that it can’t be faulty experiments / results.. But truely nice to see some experimental science.
