We hear you on getting pulled into tarpit problems, and on the pattern you're describing leading to them. The core product motivation we're excited about is letting humans and thei…

I suspect stronger edge performance will come as a side-effect of local inference. Your point on edge tool calls is interesting and I'll think about that. Features like offline mod…

I hear you on fast responses. One of the frustrations I've had using BI / data tools in the past was not being able to get local performance... which led to me exporting data to sp…

Our outreach is vertical-specific, and healthcare is indeed on the list! But what we learned working a vertical is that the primitives underneath (shared queries, permissions, cach…

I believe we will at some point. All question of the right need coming up. Text OCR has gotten really good, and if you think of it from a UI perspective, the only real contract is …

It's a great repo! We had issues with iframes and framesets (which are old DOM tags) we had to write custom code for. Some DOMs need annotation to provide meaning to an LLM (for ex…

We hope to be part of that brighter future! On the labor impact front, what we're seeing is that there is so much pent up demand for care, that any time we free up staff, they enab…

I hear you. We constantly think of the value of clinicians' time. What could they be doing if they didn't have to do high-volume data entry. In one of our customers' cases, they in…

Thank you! We have a fork of browser-use that lets us hand hold web agents since we know our tasks are repetitive. We can cache expected paths and fire alerts if we go off the rail…
