I was just about to sign off on a 6 figure deal for someone to make a app for our pest control SaaS, and I just saw this right now and now considering trying this out if it gets the cost low significantly. I would imagine for those who want to are agencies / developers building apps who charge a fortune doesn't make sense anymore with tools like Replit.it, Bolt, Devin and now A0. Great work Seth and Ayo for making it…

Depending on what you need in the app, we at eLogii might have sufficient configurability to support your workflows out of the box, or with little customization. We work with some quite large pest control businesses, and you might get more than just the app (route optimization etc).

This is pretty cool. Is it possible to add a stop button similar to other apps?

what would the stop button do?

Generating code takes some time. Sometimes when we look at the generated code half way, we know that it's not what we want. Better to stop and edit the prompt.

Congrats on shipping. I'm curious how commodotized the underlying LLM's are for generating this type of code? (And thereby, how big the moat is for companies like vercel/bolt surrounding v0 et al). What models are you using to power the code editor? Did it require much customization? Is it likely that enterprises would be able to eventually bring their own LLM's, or does the training make that prohibitive?

Bolt is actually open source. You can see how it works

https://a0.dev/chat/36310f55-923c-4ec7-97ee-263f7460049c How do I share chat? I tried to build public bus tracker as a test but there are issues using external libraries.

There should be an add import button above the code, whats the library?

Ah gotcha, I thought you meant for the app. We'll add this.
