Looks great, I can't wait to use it. I imagine it could become very expensive for certain workflows, it will probably be like AWS where if you're not careful with the setup and watching what you're doing it will spin up 1000s of agents and rack up huge bills! It's going to be a massive money spinner!

The website is solid black on Firefox mobile for android. Maybe they should get an agent on that.

Anthropic's website is always completely broken for me on Zen (a firefox derivative). I used to think it was an extension, but even without extensions it often just shows blank pages.

I wonder how long until Claude/OpenAI eat a lot of the current AI/Agent SaaS's lunch. Originally I thought they would stick towards being a model provider mainly, but with all the recent releases it seems they do want to provide more "services." Wonder what part of the market 3rd party apps will build a moat around?

I cloned a product today that does the 20% of a product my client needed. It took 8 hours and will save my client 2k a month in licensing fees. Plus, I can now add the features they were missing in the original product.

There's a lot of money to be made in small business automation right now.

I’ve been building my own version of this. It’s a bit shocking to see parallel ideation. FWIW- IMO, being locked into a single model provider is a deal breaker. This solution will distract a lot of folks and doom-lock them into Anthropic. That’ll probably be fine for small offices, but it is suicidal to get hooked into Anthropic’s way of doing things for anything complex. IME, you want to be able to compare different…

Do you think it's unwise for companies to lock in because they would be better served and get better results by picking and choosing models? Or because by running your business on a single closed provider like Anthropic, you're giving them telemetry they can use to optimize their models and systems to then compete with you later?

I'm the same, and its relatively trivial to build these types of systems on top of aggregators like openrouter.

I think it’s unwise because Model reliability is transient.

When the models have an off day, the workflows you’ve grown to depend upon fail. When you’re completely dependent on Anthropic for not only execution but troubleshooting- you’re doomed. You lose a whole day troubleshooting model performance variability when you should have just logged off and waited. These are very cognitively disruptive days.

Build in multi-model support- so your agents can modify routing if an observer discovers variability.

Not quite sold on this. I'm going to stick with pydantic ai and dbos/temporal/celery. I do not want to be vendor locked into one of these players. I want to work with absoluately any llm I want... I think we need to keep pushing for best in class open source orchestrtion and not get sucked into this platforms.

Its unwise because they are going to have a 5-10k a month bill on enterprise pricing, whereas, for $6-10k a month you can rent and run your own hardware and get a solid 3-4 concurrent sessions for your engineers with a 1T param OS model and save thousands per developer a month.
