    You caught me. Tina is my co-founder, so those are her business contacts, but you're absolutely right, still a dumb move to leave them exposed instead of routing everything through…

    Good point. To clarify, it wasn't sensitive PII (no private contacts, addresses, etc.). It was just our public team bios and professional resumes. Because we deleted our traditiona…

    You are spot on. Right now it's just a messy backend data dump. I left it like that to focus on debugging, routing, and giving SEO crawlers something to chew, but it's a mess for t…

    May be a great compliment if someone does try, haha. But seriously, the real value isn't in the text since it is very specific to my firm and work experience, the value is the unde…

    To answer your question, the contact info is for when the LLM reaches the end of its logic. I'm a 2-person firm, cannot compete with ChatGPT on general knowledge, but I'm also inte…

    Good catch. Those bios and lists are essentially grounding truth for the training data for the RAG. Intent is twofold: Give bot truth anchors to stay focused and manage hallucinati…

    haha, good catch! I focused on the AEC logic but did not put enough on the general guardrails. Your vancouver and Pi questions, including someone else on marine vessels seemed to h…

    haha, I might have let the Agent Experience persona get to dramatic here... its definitely feeling the oats today. I'll dial it back on my next refinement. Thanks!

    I agree, but its a balancing act. We are 2 person firm juggling our experience with limited resources. The intent, as you probably noticed, is to free up principal time to service …

    Checking right now. These logs are essentially a public 'brain-dump' of the company's bio and project histories intended for SEO crawlers - nothing that is not already public facin…

    Thanks, appreciate the Perspective from an AEC pro. It's an experiment to see if can give a perspective some real meat and bones of my company instead of the usual fluff without an…

    Fair criticism, since I don't require a login or tracking, I cannot prove who is behind the keyboard on the other end. The bot is a tool that ideally leads to lead generation by de…

    I run a building design consultancy. I got tired of paying Wix $40/month for a brochure that couldn’t answer simple service questions, and me wasting hours on the same FAQs. So I k…

    Show HN: Dumped Wix, my AEC consultancy's storefront is now an AI Edge

    I run a building design consultancy for homeowners and architects, not a SaaS firm. Honestly, I'm not going to claim we were trying to build some fantastic ‘anti-fragile alternativ…
