Sounds cool, but it also sounds like you need to spend big $$ on API calls to make this work.

I'm building this in the hope that AI will be cheap one day. For now, I'll add many optimizations

Yes, it certainly makes sense if you have the budget for it.

Could you share what it costs to run this? That could convince people to try it out.

I will not download or use something which constantly reminds me of this weird dude suckerberg who did a lot of damage to society with facebook

I was hoping it was a Philip Roth reference but I was disappointed when I opened the page.

I started working on something similar but for family stuff. I stopped before hitting self editing because, well I was a little bit afraid of becoming over reliant on a tool like this or becoming more obsessed with building it than actually solving a real problem in my life. AI is tricky. Sometimes we think we need something when in fact life might be better off simpler.

The code for anyone interested. Wrote it with exe.dev's coding agent which is a wrapper on Claude Opus 4.5

AI generated response on a post about AI. Getting tired of this timeline.

Not only that, but the OP created that account solely to hype their own product lol. There’s another bot downthread doing the same thing. Minimally it feels like dang should not let new accounts post for 30 days or something without permission.
