Nice project! I've been working on something very similar here https://github.com/max-hq/max It works by schematising the upstream and making data locally synchronised + a common q…

Regarding the metrics: - Claude (via Hubspot MCP) was paginating over contacts, at 40s per 800 contacts and ~150k tokens (triggering compaction) - full run was 120 of these loops @…

Hey HN! I built a thing and I'm really excited to share it. EDIT: I meant to link to the github, not the website: https://github.com/max-hq/max Like many of us here, I've been comm…
