I've seen Gleam and Onyx, and I think the real problem is that there is a lot of garbage coming in. If you want to solve the problem, you need to find a way to clean the information coming in. And if you've cleaned the information coming in, you have a lower need to have an LLM answer the question.

> the day-to-day questions that actually blocked people do you have a very strong opinion about how companies should work? "No" Okay, does Dario Amodei? He thinks more than half the workforce should "just" be replaced. That's a strong opinion! Do you see what I am saying?
Was a huge fan of gather.town, is this the official notice that it's going into maintenance mode?
However, it didn't reach the growth trajectory we needed, so a majority of the company will be working on Grapevine + new products instead.
Is this self-hosted? If not, am I to work under the assumption that my company's IP is worth ~$0?
I get that's a big ask from a startup. If it helps, we are a company that's been around for 4+ years and have built a work tool (https://gather.town) used for 100k+ people for their daily work, Sequoia-backed, are SOC II certified, and go way beyond that for the security considerations for this product.

The Gather work product is unfortunately going into maintenance mode. We still have a strong team working on the core AV and performance, and the business is very decent and more than supports that team (and we still use the Gather product heavily ourselves). However, it didn't reach the growth trajectory we needed, so a majority of the company will be working on Grapevine + new products instead.
We've still been searching for a proper replacement for go-karting. Our team greatly enjoyed that little mini game.
A thought for any lurking vibe-coders.

No self-hosted version yet. You would need to trust us in the same way you trust your other SaaS apps that host company IP (e.g. Slack, Notion, Github, etc.) I get that's a big ask from a startup.

(My company uses Zulip/Gitea/Affine for data sovereignty reasons, but this kind of thing seems worse)
Do not assume that companies are willing to put ALL of their intellectual property into your hands. Even if you would not be some startup where any sysadmin could steal and sell my data any time without you even noticing it, you will get hacked just like everyone else that stores interesting data. The data you have access to is absolutely perfect for the global data blackmailing gangs. As soon as you are successful, you will have every black hat hacker and their dog knocking on your doors.
Offer self-hosted and I would buy. Do not assume that companies are willing to put ALL of their intellectual property into your hands.
