    Hey dangent! Glad you find it interesting! So the API keys during setup are entirely optional. They're used in the example workflow that evaluates blog posts for clarity and provid…

    Happy to see this launched, particularly today. I own a stake in a small brewery in Canada, and this feature just saved me setting up some infrastructure to "productionize" an agen…

    I may have something to teach you about indicators, averages, and population samples/biases. We're not debating majority opinion here. Just that people exist who have that bias / p…
