I have been pondering on this issue as well. Budgeting apps which have integration seem to have access to too much data.

Why do we need such a detailed breakdown for personal finance. I am pondering on this idea of using under or over type prompts to capture daily expense. The app send a notification asking me did you spend $100 or less in the day. Eventual goal of all budgeting apps is to reduce spending. this simple prompt can capture immense information without needing to break it down. breaking it down to categories can be a step if there is a problem detected in the savings pattern. For that banks are already adding the feature

keen to hear thoughts on this

300+ dollars for starter plan targeted to startups seems to be a missed opportunity. Startups might find it as a high barrier to try. You are solving a good problem but the pricing seems too high.

I recently joined a team with a very messy codebase. The devs were long gone, and even the ones maintaining it didn’t really understand large parts of the code. The bus factor was effectively zero.

What surprised me was how useful AI was. It helped me not only understand the code but also infer the probable intent behind it, which made debugging much faster. I started generating documentation directly from the code itself.

For me, this was a big win. Code is the source of truth. Developer documentation and even shared knowledge are often full of bias, selective memory, or the “Chinese whispers” problem where the story shifts every time it’s retold and never documented. Code doesn’t lie, it just needs interpretation. Using AI to cut through the noise and let the code explain itself felt like a net positive.

how are you managing keeping up to date wiht the tasks and update to tasks. What bug tracker do you use.. do you mean jira??

To be fair this is version 1 of the tool. Any tool will have issues in the first version but does not mean it cannot shape up to be a useful tool. Teachers will need education on when to use AI and when not to use AI. It will take time but it will eventually improve the process of teaching and help our teachers feel less overwhelmed so they can actually focus on the students.

Awesome work launching the product.

You have built a very good tool as a solo dev. the slides are very text heavy. Please use a better image model to convert the text into illustration something like napkin.ai

I really like the quiz with word search generator. This could be a simple niche which other LMS's might not be targeting. Could be a good side project to a simple tool.

One more feedback as ex AI startup builder. When building the product we are in an adrenalin rush to build the coolest features hoping that customers will use it right away if it solves a problem. After launching we realise thats not the case. They only come if the pain is really bad, like there is no alternative. A easy way to workaround this is to build integrations rather than full fledged UI . If you build an integration for existing LMS, the customer will be more likely to try it than a new tool which will have to go through the ardous procurement process of school or any organisation.

The youtube video is very abstract and vague TBH. The text messaging is a good feature but the response shown in the video seems like a rushed response with bad formatting. The attention span of users is really low so UX is going to be a game changer in AI. I lost interest when I saw the markup formatted text message responses.

Once you start observing the biases he has mentioned in the talk, you realise how vulnurable you are as a human to be co erced into making decisions which could be so wrong.

Is FOG the new FAANG in the world of AI. Amazon and Apple are far behind in the race or atleast appear to be behind.

We compared AI models on simple task and google was terrible
