#12Very cool. Congrats on getting this launched @gogwilt!
Thanks Mike! Your advice and support has been super critical and motivating!

#13Looks interesting! Since it's already typescript, are there any plans for a web app in addition to desktop?

Thanks!
Actually, when running locally, you can open it in a web app. There's one catch, though: saving project files is pretty janky (it downloads the project file). I think basically everything else works pretty well, though!

#15This is a game changer. I have implemented AI features recently, and it was a nightmare using code. Visual programming is a perfect match for AI. And Rivet is very neat and polished. I will definitely use it to build the next AI feature Thanks for sharing
Thank you! 100% with you on the nightmare using code.
We'd love your feedback when you get a chance to dig in! Building AI features is SUPER fun with Rivet!

#16Awesome work Cai and Andy. Do you have advice on structuring functions for best results? (eg, is it a good idea to give my agent access to things like a calculator "in case it needs it" or be careful about spoon-feeding it the tools I think it needs)

I don't think it's a good idea to give an agent tools "just in case."
We've opted for giving our agents access to a few distinct, but powerful tools, and then trusting them to combine these tools in a strategic way. It's going well so far, but we are pretty careful to clearly explain the tools.
However, I've spoken to other teams that have opted for giving their agents tons of tools, and it sounds like that can work pretty well. But everything seems to take work and experimentation.

#18What's the target ICP - mid/late stage enterprises or startups/tinkerers?

Likely early to growth-stage start-ups!
That's at least what a lot of our early design partners and collaborators have been. Rivet slots in neatly to most modern TypeScript applications, and is pretty easy to adopt progressively.
(Also depends on your definition... I'd consider Ironclad a "growth-stage start-up," but I imagine others would say otherwise!)

#20I played around with Rivet and contributed to it. Great tool!
