As I've been building the platform I founded, I've progressive been moving towards a system that will run itself. I've taken inspiration from many projects (Polsia, Minimax, Open Research, and others) that are pushing the boundaries of how agents operate and tried to pull in the best of all of them.

I'm interested to learn from others that are thinking deep about how to improve the user of frontier models and posted an article detailing the design. It covers the three tiers of memory: User, Account, Platform; how the memory system operates across five distinct layers, each serving a different purpose; and the self-improvement loop -- link in comments below.

It's a deep dive into the multi-layered memory architecture — from vector embeddings to biographical peer cards — and what I learned from studying the best in the space.

Interested in your thoughts on the design and how are you approaching this area of AI.

Hey all, has anyone tried to see if it's possible to have multiple claude dispatch sessions on one mobile account? I have a desktop I control through dispatch right now, but I have another old computer that needs a PSU and I've been thinking about bringing it back to life and have a second dispatch session there. But will I be able to see both on my phone? Just want to know before I spent the time to buy a second hand PSU and set up the old workhorse again

to mods: dispatch is part of claude + claude cowork, so yes, this question belongs here

I’ve been experimenting with running local entity + relation extraction for context graphs using GLiNER v2.1 via ONNX (~600MB models), and the results were stronger than I expected compared to an LLM-based pipeline.

Test setup: extracting structured relations from software-engineering decision traces and repo-style text.

Compared against an approach similar to Graphiti (which uses multiple GPT-4o calls per episode):

• relation F1: 0.520 vs ~0.315
• latency: ~330ms vs ~12.7s
• cost: local inference vs API usage per episode

One thing I noticed is that general-purpose LLM extraction tends to generate inconsistent relation labels (e.g. COMMUNICATES_ENCRYPTED_WITH-style variants), while a schema-aware pipeline with lightweight heuristics + GLiNER produces more stable graphs for this domain.

The pipeline I tested runs fully locally:

• GLiNER v2.1 via ONNX Runtime
• SQLite (FTS5 + recursive CTE traversal)
• single Rust binary
• CPU-only inference

Curious if others here have tried local structured relation extraction pipelines instead of prompt-based graph construction — especially for agent memory / repo understanding use cases.

Benchmark corpus is open if anyone wants to compare approaches or try alternative extractors:

Not sure if it's just me, but I had like 10+ sessions open across different projects with no idea what each one was doing. Every morning felt like digging through UUIDs trying to remember where I left off.

So I spent a morning building something to fix that. It's a small desktop app called RelaunchAI — shows all your sessions, which ones are running, lets you relaunch them in bulk, and most importantly summarizes what each one was about using Claude. That last part is honestly what I actually use. It just tells me "you were debugging the auth middleware, 3 files touched, suggested next step is X" and I can get back into it without re-reading everything.

Built it with Claude Code itself, which felt appropriately cursed.

it is Linux only for now (PySide6 + Tilix/Konsole), but I'd take PRs for macOS/Windows if anyone's interested: github.com/RaphGod/RelaunchAI

important : if your session names look like gibberish (mine did), you can rename them directly with /rename your-name in Claude Code. Took me embarrassingly long to discover that.

Anyone else dealing with this or is it just me being disorganized?

Hey everyone, getting mixed stories on this.

Has claude and claude code adopted AGENTS.md?

I'm symlinking them but wondering if I can just drop CLAUDE.md all together and maintain one AGENTS.md doc

According to:

https://help.openai.com/en/articles/11909943-gpt-53-and-gpt-54-in-chatgpt

Plus users ($20/month) get 3000 messages per week of GPT-5.4 Thinking.

Yet, I now got this in ChatGPT web, as a Plus user:

https://preview.redd.it/keytwidc6uqg1.png?width=785&format=png&auto=webp&s=4136b9916ae6e382637b283c3c63bea9f424e8dc

I definitely did NOT send more than 3000 messages in the past week, nor in the past 2 or 3 weeks.

No model works here, even setting it to Instant doesn't work:

https://preview.redd.it/th263c0i6uqg1.png?width=773&format=png&auto=webp&s=933418f8260b1320a2e0d48c66da32ae8c63957a

What's going on? Is the help page outdated, and limits were recently changed?

I've run the same question through perplexity, GPT, claude, and gemini. I always get roughly the same output and just so much text to read. It just seems every llm is incredible at telling you everything you need to know, but you cant tell what real, and whats just fluff.

Like any question I ask which is slightly subjective, I get this giant essay listing everything and that ends with it depends on your situation. Cool. I knew that before I asked..and running it through the rest just means I have 3 times more reading to do and let's be real nobody reads a 10k word report and walks away ready to act.

It just seems they are built to fetch as much data as they can, which they probably are but it doesnt really help me with what I want. I want some degree of research combined with objective research backed opinions.

So I've been building in this space. Just launched a feature that I think kinda solves this. Instead of a research dump, it identifies swing variables, spawns multiple agents with different llms to test it and your thinking, runs arguments on a visual canvas, and gives you an actual verdict with some planning.

Maybe we've cracked it, probably not fully yet. But I've been building in the multi llm space for a while and this genially feels like the next step.

Give it a shot and let me know. the link is serno.ai/depth

What do you think?

I tested 7 local models on 22 real agent tasks using OpenClaw on a Raspberry Pi 5 with an RTX 3090 running Ollama.

Tasks included reading emails, scheduling meetings, creating tasks, detecting phishing, handling errors, and browser automation.

The winner by a massive margin: qwen3.5:27b-q4_K_M at 59.4%. The runner up (qwen3.5:35b) scored only 23.2%. Everything else was below 5%.

Biggest surprises:

The quantized 27B model beat the larger 35B version by 2.5x. A 30B model scored dead last at 1.6%. Medium thinking worked best. Too much thinking actually hurt performance. Zero models could complete browser automation. The main thing that separated winners from losers was whether the model could find and use command line tools.

If your agent connects more than a few MCP servers, you're probably already past the point where tool overload is hurting accuracy. We built Boundary, a new open-source framework for testing LLM context limits, and ran our first benchmark to put numbers on it.

We tested Claude Haiku 4.5, Claude Sonnet 4.6, GPT-4o, GPT-5.4 Mini, Grok 4, and Grok 4.1 Fast Reasoning across 150 tool definitions from 16 real services (GitHub, GitLab, Kubernetes, Datadog, Jira, etc). 60 prompts per model at 5 toolset sizes (25 to 150 tools).

Key findings: * Every model that completed the test degraded. Two didn't finish. * Both OpenAI models failed at 150 tools. Hard API limit at 128. Not a model quality issue, a platform constraint. * Grok 4.1 Fast was the only model that handled 150 tools and stayed accurate. * Claude Sonnet 4.6 was the least accurate model at 25 tools and never recovered. Claude Haiku outperformed it at every size at 3x lower cost. * Price inversely correlates with performance. The two cheapest models were the two most accurate. * Degradation starts between 25 and 50 tools, not at some high number.

This is an early version of the framework with real limitations: single-turn only, random tool subsets, no parameter validation, single trial per prompt. We document all of these in the post. The results are directional, not definitive.

We're planning to add multi-turn evaluation, parameter validation, and disclosure mode comparisons. If you spot methodological issues or want to contribute, we'd genuinely welcome it.

Hey r/SideProject!

I've been building AI apps for a while and kept running into the same problem — every project needed multiple AI providers. OpenAI for some tasks, Anthropic for others, Llama for cost-sensitive stuff. That meant 3 API keys, 3 billing dashboards, 3 SDKs. So I built Axion AI to fix that for myself, then decided to launch it.

It's a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint that routes to 30+ models:

- GPT-5.2, GPT-4o Mini

- Claude Opus, Sonnet, Haiku

- Llama 3.3 70B, DeepSeek R1, Qwen 3, Mistral

- And 20+ more

You literally just change your base URL and you're done. No SDK changes.

Credit-based pricing so you only pay for what you use. Plans from $9/mo.

Would love honest feedback from fellow builders. What would make you switch from your current setup?

Hey, hope this post is okay, I’ve been working on a small layer around AI agents and I’m currently looking for a few design partners to test it early and give feedback.

The idea came from seeing agents sometimes ignore instructions, run unexpected commands, or access things they probably shouldn’t depending on how they’re set up. It feels like we’re giving them a lot of power without really having control or visibility into what’s going on.

What I’ve built basically sits between the agent and its tools, and adds a bit more control and insight into what the agent is doing. It’s still early, but it’s already helped avoid some bad loops and unexpected behavior.

If you’re building with AI agents, whether it’s for coding, automation or internal tools, I’d really like to hear how you’re handling this today. And if it sounds interesting, I’m happy to let you try it out and get your feedback as well. 100% free:)

I got tired of productivity apps that give you a timer and nothing else.

So I built Focali. It's a mobile AI coach that actually talks to you, learns your goals, figures out what keeps pulling you away from work, and helps you plan real focus sessions around your actual life.

Not another pomodoro. A coach.

I also opened a small Discord around it. People running live focus sessions together, keeping each other accountable, and sending me direct feedback that shapes what gets built next. The kind of community where people are genuinely serious about getting things done.

If that sounds like your type of crowd:

Happy to answer anything, roast the idea, whatever. I read every reply.

Took me a while to figure this out, with many new installs of windows portable.

\python_embeded\Lib\site-packages\requests\__init__.py:113: RequestsDependencyWarning: urllib3 (2.6.3) or chardet (7.2.0)/charset_normalizer (3.4.5) doesn't match a supported version!

This is caused when I install ComfyUI-Manager.

what tool is best for swapping out myself for a character from a reference image?

I have mostly done t2v, but would need something that allow me to film when I walk at a location and then replacing myself with an AI avatar, but the background/location must stay the same. At one point there was a bunch of them, based on wan(vace, scail?). I have shitty internet so downloading at random is not an option, that's why I wanted to ask for the best 2026 option upfront.

I'm trying to run the Searge LLM node or QwenVL node in ComfyUI for auto-prompt generation, but I’m running into an issue: both nodes only run on CPU, completely ignoring my GPU.

I’m on Ubuntu and have tried multiple setups and configurations, but nothing seems to make these nodes use the GPU. All other image/video models works OK on GPU.

Has anyone managed to get VL/LLM nodes working on GPU in ComfyUI? Any tips would be appreciated!

Thanks!

how do i make it so chatgpt won't randomly ask me stuff a week later?

Tried a few wf’s from civit but I only get ant war blur from my generations. The comfy wf works but I don’t know where to add a power lora loader. Out of luck trying myself so asking here

So I hope you had time to prepare your 3D model as I just released the first public version of my webapp !
And I called it 3Dash (contraption of 3D Dashboard, and look nice as the logo is just three dashes ///)

It is live on GitHub just here: https://github.com/Kdcius/3Dash_webapp

So you have 3 ways of using it:

• Use the GitHub page hosted version if you have Nabu Casa, or if your HA is accessible outside your LAN via HTTPS (note that everything is client side, so I will not get any of your infos)
• Use the HA Addon using the button on the GitHub readme to host it yourself in a few clicks
• Or just clone the repo and deploy it yourself as you wish

There will still be some bugs, as I'm working alone on this (and as it is mainly coded using Opus 4.6).
However I'll keep maintaining this project, so feel free to open GH issues if you find anything.

I really hope you will like this, please be indulgent, this is my first ever open source project. So I've probably made some mistakes.

Thanks again for your feedback on my previous post (this one).

Spending 40 minutes per chargeback pulling data from five different places. Order details from Shopify, tracking from ShipStation, customer conversations from my helpdesk, delivery photos from the carrier portal, then formatting everything for the processor. Done this probably 15 times in the past two months.

All this data already exists in connected systems but I'm still manually copying it over. I know automated solutions exist for this but most seem built for enterprise scale or require complex integrations. For a smaller operation doing a few chargebacks monthly is there anything actually worth implementing or is manual still the most practical option?

Got myself a Nabu Casa Green with a ZBT-2 a few weeks back to migrate my HA setup from a VM. But I am having issues with the webUI stops responding intermittently and you get the "Unable to connect to Home Assistant. Retrying in XX seconds..:" screen.

As I have not discovered a pattern on when this occurs, does someone recognise the issue and could share some experience solving it or pointer on what to look for to solve it.

I'm using the 'Wildcard Processor (Mikey)' node to produce random prompts and images, but I'm stuck on how to test if a keyword is in my prompt and subsequently change the resolution.

For example: if my default resolution is 1152x1728. and the prompt contains "[square]" (or similar keyword) I change the resolution to 1728x1728.

I have been able to do it for a single keyword using the 'StringContains' node to look for a string and a 'If ANY execute A else B' node from eden.art. I could probably chain that 'contains' node for each keyword I want to use but it feels a little clunky.

Any idea's on how to achieve this?

So I have a Eufy doorbell that came with the house that I'm really getting sick of - the battery barely lasts months, it's micro USB, streaming from my phone pretty much never works. With replacing that, I'd also like to install a smart lock for a number of reasons - giving pet sitters and house guests temporary access, keyless unlock, lock on close, etc. And with researching my options, it seems like an obvious move to start centralizing all my other smart home stuff and there's so many choices, I could really use some advice on my best move forward here.

As a note, I don't have any Apple devices so Homekey doesn't matter to me at all.

My current devices: - Tons of Phillips Hue bulbs and switches - Miele washer/dryer (not convinced I'd want them to be IoT-connected but the capacity is there) - Lenovo Smart clock essential - 2x Litter Robot 4 - Levoit Vital 200S-P air purifier - 2x Midea U+ air conditioners (matter compatible) - Nest Thermostat 3rd gen - 2x Wyze Cam Pan v3 (usually unplugged, only used as cat cams while I'm on vacation)

All of those have different apps. So with adding another 2 devices I definitely want to centralize things into home assistant.

The doorbells I'm looking at: - Reolink - Aqara G410 - Unifi Doorbell Lite (I'll need to upgrade from my Dream Machine to a cloud gateway or Dream Router 7, but that upgrade was probably due anyways, also I'll need to drop a PoE jack at my doorbell obviously) - Unifi G4 Doorbell Pro (ditto above)

The locks I'm looking at: - Aqara U400 (will be great when Aliro eventually comes to Android, but I heard Matter over Thread is bad maybe?) - Schlage Arrive (the best looking imo and physical buttons are great, but no fingerprint or UWB) - Schlage Encode (very popular on here, but also no fingerprint or UWB. Also heard the Schlage app sucks but maybe that doesn't matter if I'm centralizing on HA) - Yale ZWave?

Things I want to get eventually: - A couple outdoor cameras - New cat cams - IoT compatible mini split HVAC

So obviously to centralize things I'm going to want a HA Green, maybe also ZBT2 or ZWA2 depending on what protocols all my devices use? Are there any obvious standouts or no-go's in my options? I'm really overwhelmed with all this research and could use a bit of guidance for these choices.

The Federal Construction Spending Report for January 2026 was released today by the Census Bureau. It shows that Data Center construction spending is again higher than office spending, and the gap is widening. I suspect it will keep widening.

In January 2026 it was $46.9B vs. $43.7B, or 7.5% higher.

In December 2025 it was $45.9 vs. $43.9B or 4.6% higher.

Built a CLI tool that scans your local MCP server configs (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Claude Code) for security issues.

It checks for:

- Leaked API keys and tokens in env vars and args

- Typosquatted package names (edit-distance matching)

- Overly broad filesystem permissions

- HTTP instead of HTTPS for SSE servers

- Malformed configs and command injection in args

npx mcp-scan

or npm install -g mcp-scan

Hey guys, I’m trying to train a LoRA for Qwen Image 2512 using OneTrainer on a 20GB VRAM GPU but I keep running into out of memory issues no matter what I try, is this setup even realistic or am I missing some key settings to make it work, would really appreciate any tips or configs that can make it fit

A barber I work with was losing 2 to 3 clients a week to no-shows. That's roughly $400 to $600/month walking out the door. He tried charging cancellation fees manually but couldn't enforce them. Cards would decline, clients would ghost, and he'd just eat the loss.

So we set up a simple automation stack:

• Card on file required at booking (auto-collected, no awkward conversations)
• Reminder texts at 24 hours and 2 hours before the appointment
• If they don't confirm the 2 hour reminder, the slot opens up and the next person on the waitlist gets notified automatically
• No-show fee charges the card on file. No chasing people down.

First month: no-shows went from 10 to 12 per month down to 2.

The reminder texts alone did most of the heavy lifting. People just forget. They're not trying to screw you over. A simple "Hey, you've got a cut with Marcus tomorrow at 2pm, reply YES to confirm" fixes 80% of it.

The whole setup took about 3 hours. He doesn't touch any of it. It just runs.

If you run any appointment based business (salon, grooming, training, whatever) and no-shows are bleeding you dry, happy to share more details on the exact setup.

This weekend I decided to stop talking about automation and actually build something. 🛠️

So I built a complete invoice automation system from scratch — just to prove how powerful this really is.

Here's what it does:
1️⃣ Invoice created → data auto-saved to Google Sheets instantly
2️⃣ Invoice sent to customer on WhatsApp automatically
3️⃣ Payment pending? Customer gets a WhatsApp reminder
4️⃣ Business owner gets notified too — simultaneously

Full automation. Zero manual work. Runs 24/7.

The crazy part? Most small businesses are STILL doing all of this by hand in 2025. Copy-pasting. Manually messaging. Forgetting follow-ups. Losing money because of it.

I built this in one weekend using n8n.
No code. No expensive software. No team needed.

Imagine what this could do for YOUR business every single day.

Automation isn't the future anymore.
It's the competitive advantage happening RIGHT NOW.

Interested in seeing how this could work for your business?

I got tired of XMind MCP tools that force the LLM to output the entire mind map as one massive JSON blob every time. One typo? Regenerate everything. Want to rename a single node? Output the whole tree.

So I built an MCP server with 19 atomic tools: xmind_add_topic, xmind_move_topic, xmind_update_topic, xmind_delete_topic, etc. The LLM calls xmind_open_map to see the tree with node IDs, then makes targeted edits one at a time.

What's included:

• Topic CRUD (add, update, delete, move, add entire subtrees)
• Sheets, relationships, boundaries, summaries
• Full-text search across titles, notes, and labels
• Schema validation on every save
• 70+ automated tests

Python + FastMCP + Poetry. The XMind format was reverse-engineered from their official generator since there's no public spec.

Happy to answer questions or take feature requests.

Building automations for ~15 agency clients. Each has their own Gmail + Google Calendar. Currently maintaining 15 copies of the same workflow which is a nightmare.

Found a pattern using an external token store + HTTP Request node at workflow start, works well but the OAuth flow + token refresh infrastructure is annoying to build from scratch.

Anyone solved this cleanly? Happy to share what I built if useful.

Hello, I’ve got a raspberry pi zero 2 w running two services 24/7. One is the mosquitto broker and the other is a ruby gem service.

The data updates perfectly fine for a duration of time, but then stops updating or shows unavailable. The latest period of updating was about 12 hours long.

I don’t have a monitor plugged in constantly.

I’ve used the systemctl enable command for the services so far. Google is saying that I should enable watchdog to reboot the pi in the event of it freezing. Is there anything else that could help or that I should be looking at doing to prevent the need to constantly be hands on with the raspberry pi?

I also have enabled raspberry pi connect, but that is showing disconnected (it has previously worked just fine) even though I physically rebooted the raspberry pi, so I’m going to have to do a little research as to whether it needs to be enabled in someway as well for repeated initialization after reboot.

As far as I know the wealthy have always tried to control the poor for they fear the combined power of the poor.

I wonder how long it would take for the wealthy to build their killer robots and effectively suppress the not-wealthy. Once everything has been automized, I don't see why the weathly would still need the not-weathly and in the darkest scenario simply get rid of them by killing all and cleaning up the mess. They could live like gods on this world, unless their god complexes require the admiration of the people. What do you think?

So I love creating imaginary mini's of my DnD monsters and when I saw the news that V8 was better for detailed prompts, I jumped to try it. Generally from my testing, this holds true. For the concrete minotaur you can see the V8 image is much more in line with the prompt.

I can see especially see this with my Mercury Dragon where V8 captures the arm transforming into an axe. But I do find that in general I prefer the posing, shot composition and background elements that V7 generates.

The Mercury dragon especially, V7 does an amazing job with the battle set itself. I know it's early days but really looking forward to how v8 evolves!

Concrete Minotaur

A detailed macro photograph of a masterfully painted custom 28mm scale D&D miniature. The subject is the "Concrete Minotaur," a hulking bipedal brute constructed entirely of rough, grey, fractured concrete and exposed rebar wire. It wears a pristine, weathered orange high-visibility safety vest and a yellow hard hat that casts its "face" in impenetrable shadow. The Minotaur is in a dramatic stride, carrying a massive, imposing axe/hammer hybrid made from thick, fused lengths of deeply rusted rebar shaped into a crescent. The figure is standing on a textured 50mm black base that looks like a chunk of fractured asphalt sidewalk with tiny construction debris. Studio lighting with sharp shadows, extreme depth of field, focused sharply on the textures of the concrete and the peeling paint of the vest. Slight imperfections of painted plastic are visible. The concrete parts of the mini are made of real stone

Mercury Dragon

A cinematic photo of a custom-painted Mercury-Tide Drake miniature and three adventurer minis on a 1-inch battle grid. The Drake is a 100mm base centerpiece sculpted from seamless, high-gloss chrome resin, appearing like living liquid metal. Its form is fluid and abstract, with a long serpentine body that lacks scales, instead featuring rippling "droplet" textures and a razor-sharp, mirror-finished maw. One "wing" is mid-transformation into a menacing axe, while the other is a wing made of blades. Facing it are three 25mm miniatures: a human fighter with a tower shield, a tiefling warlock with purple eldritch blast effects, and a halfling cleric holding a glowing holy symbol. The environment is the ruins of a, power plant, featuring worn stone pillars and fallen broken machinery, rusted railings and different levels. the floor is 3d printed and painted tiles with a mix of normal and broken industrial tiles that have various degrees of wear and tear. he enviroment has other miniature elements like broken tables and chairs The lighting is optimized for product photography, creating distorted reflections of the adventurers in the creatures body. Visible hobby details like metallic leafing and high-gloss varnish. Low-angle shot.

I’m currently working on my senior project to finish high school but it’s derailing and I’m panicking, my group choose a project that got out of hand the way and it’s going really bad, please present me an impressive problem solving project for my senior year project, please, I need help on this one!

I have been using Midjourney for a while, and I noticed that a lot of times when you put into your prompt "Black," "African American," "Melanated," or something that describes African American, it won't create your image and will give you an error message. Does anyone else experience this issue, and if so, what do you use in place of that?

what i think is an underrated perspective is that is doesn't have to be so extreme, black or white. like it's either humans or AI. I think the truth and future is way more nuanced and i think that notion is way scarier for people. because what if we don't have to choose ai art or human art? what if the truth lies somewhere in the middle. electronic music is fully made digitally and is awesome, rock music is played by real life musicians and is awesome. hip hop might combine electronic drums with live played guitar.

i think it's way more about what fulfils you and gets you to the art you want to make or gives you the most enjoyable process of creation. And i think that's different for everyone, there's not one truth we can put on everyone. Like people preferring handwritten journals, others prefer writing digitally.

AT the same time there's also still a lot of unanswered questions about this whole topic for me; for example what if i really like rapping but don't wanna produce beats, do i just use an ai generated beat? idkkkkkk. but what i do know is that the truth will be somewhere in the middle. and some people & artists will move closer to AI and other closer to human creation. The same way that some people still wanna learn guitar, while the other samples a guitar loop in their DAW.

People LOVE polarisation: look at politics, cancel culture etcc. Something is either a 100% good or 100% bad. But the middle and i think the truth is way more nuanced.

Curious to hear your thoughts!

Hello! I need help.

I'm not an expert at any of this, but I need your help.

In the past, I have worked with the I2S interface for audio on other boards like the ESP32, ESP32 Lilygo TSIM7000G, Arduino Mega, M5Stack devices, etc.
There are changes in some cases (due to the different architectures of each microcontroller on each board), but I've never had any issues.

So, I'd like to ask if any of you have worked with the Arduino Uno Q using the MCU pins labeled JMISC on the back of the board, and if so, how did you do it?
I'm still having trouble interpreting the datasheet and pinout, but with other boards I hadn't had problems using and declaring pins and using their interfaces.

It would be very helpful if you could help me understand how to declare and use the JMISC pins in order to use the I2S interface.
Thank you.

Board: Arduino Uno Q
MPU: Qualcomm Dragonwing QRB2210
MCU: STM32U585

The board itself is simple ESP32-S3, 4 ports, USB-C, battery connector, STEMMA QT. But the thing I actually spent time on is the connector: AX22, a 22×22mm standardized pinout that locks modules in place and handles SPI/I2C/ADC/GPIO without any extra wiring.

The idea was that every module in the ecosystem uses the same footprint, so they're all interchangeable across the same ports. 60+ modules so far.

Still a small operation, just me and a tiny team. Would genuinely appreciate feedback especially from people who've recently started tinkering around.

What apps or software is everyone using outside of Veo to stitch clips, remove entire negative artifacts from audio, inject new audio etc?

Also, do you prefer the extend clip option in flow or generating from the previous videos last frame? Thanks

Hey everyone,

I've been obsessing over prompt engineering

for the past year testing, failing,

and refining hundreds of prompts for

ChatGPT, Midjourney, and Claude.

Here are the 5 that consistently

deliver professional results :

1. THE MARKETING STRATEGIST

"As a senior marketing consultant,

develop a launch plan for [PRODUCT]

targeting [AUDIENCE]. Include key steps,

distribution channels, and KPIs.

Format: bullet points."

2.THE COPYWRITER

"As an expert B2B copywriter, write

a 200-word sales email for [PRODUCT]

targeting [PERSONA]. Lead with their

pain point. End with one clear CTA.

No corporate jargon."

1. THE MIDJOURNEY EXPERT

"[Subject], [artistic style],

[composition], [lighting], [colors],

[specific details] --ar 16:9 --q 2 --v 6"

1. THE SEO WRITER

"As an SEO content strategist,

write a 800-word blog post on [TOPIC]

for [TARGET AUDIENCE]. Include:

H1 with main keyword, 3 H2 sections

with examples, conclusion with CTA,

and a 155-character meta description."

1. THE SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGER

"As a social media expert, create

7 posts for [PLATFORM] for a [SECTOR]

brand. Each post: hook line, 150-word

body, CTA, 5 hashtags.

Tone: [professional/inspiring/educational]"

The key structure behind all of these :

Role + Task + Context + Format + Constraints

That's literally the difference between

a generic response and a professional result.

Happy to answer any questions

about prompt engineering

I've compiled 200+ prompts like these

in a complete guide if anyone's interested —

just check my profile.

i been using GPT and gemini for a while and get enough from them.
the same annoying responses everytime and never give you what you ask just throwing at you the same stupid responses over and over.

i tried Claude for a day but i notice is very similar to the one mentioned.

I want to build an automation that sorts PDF documents into OneDrive based on information extracted by an AI.

The Workflow:

A new file arrives in an "Inbox" folder.

An AI analyzes the document and provides two pieces of data: the Customer Name and the Category (e.g., "Invoices" or "Permits").

The file should then be moved automatically to this specific path: Folder / [First Letter of Name] / [Full Name] / [Category] / File.pdf

The Problem: This destination path is dynamic (it changes for every customer). In n8n, this is proving to be extremely difficult because the OneDrive node requires searching for specific Folder IDs at every single level (First Letter -> Name -> Category). Furthermore, the process fails if a folder doesn't already exist.

My Question: Is there a tool (like OpenClaw or others) that can simply handle a text-based path and automatically create any missing subfolders along the way? Or is n8n the wrong tool for this kind of deep, dynamic folder structure because it requires too many manual "Search" and "Create" steps for each level?

Recovered assembly log extracted from a partially reconstructed storage drive recovered at a decommissioned Nexus Industries research site.

Drive condition: degraded. File integrity: 97%.
Archive reference: P.R.I.S.M. relay experiment // PRISM-RV-014.

The file appeared to document an early spectroscopic relay test, conducted prior to the implementation of formal safety constraints. The system was configured to passively observe a remote dimensional coordinate. Initial results indicated a successful lock. The target region presented as empty - no structural signatures, no measurable activity beyond low-level background radiation.

Shortly after acquisition, the return signal began to deviate. Not through interference, but through organisation. The noise resolved into repeating structures that did not correspond to any known pattern library. The system recorded progressive alignment between outbound pulses and return data, suggesting the signal was no longer behaving as a passive reflection.

Subsequent entries indicated a reduction in return latency, followed by localisation of the anomaly within the observation channel itself.

Multiple manual termination attempts were recorded. All failed.

The session ended following an unscheduled power interruption. No further data was recovered from the system. The final segment of the log contained no executable structure - only output written beyond the system’s control, originating from an unidentified source outside the mainframe.

Checksum fragment recovered from final buffer:
D73.441 / Δ-01 / OBSERVER: TRUE

No corresponding input was found within the system logs.

The lesson to be learned here is to be careful about gazing into the void - you don't know what might be looking back.

TL;DR - Practicing storytelling and UI design. I like to explore methods of integrating secondary / subliminal messages into my mo-graphs - in this case there's a short cosmic horror story / ARG hook being told via assembly code (and a few other hidden elements throughout the clip). Heavily inspired by the likes of Lovecraft's mythos, Black Mirror, Love, Death & Robots, Backrooms / liminal space media, and ARG's such as NIN's Year Zero campaign.

Signed up for the free version 3-4 months ago everytime I try to generate anything tells me 'free users cannot generate at this time' this message appears everytime does not matter time of day (tried every hour of day to 2am 6am etc) or wee day or weekend.

Is it possible to use Kling for free or is it a scam?

This is the last time I eat out of a bag without dumping out all of the contents 😭 what do we think the chances are that I will survive? 🫠

May 2025. I went too deep into AI, too fast. What happened was a 2-week psychiatric hospitalization and a Bipolar diagnosis. AI psychosis was what triggered it.

I'm not sharing that for sympathy. I'm sharing it because what came after is the part that matters.

I had the worst summer of my life. Then I spent months absorbing everything I'd missed. The terms. The stakes. The whitepapers. The podcasts. I wanted to understand what AI actually was.

January 2026: I used AI (and Zoloft) to finally crack a 20-year OCD battle. Not CBT alone. Not medication alone. AI-assisted cognitive work that was different than anything I'd tried before. It worked. I'm not going to over-explain it. It just did.

February 2026: I built Sift. Three days. An AI execution governance platform. Core idea: autonomous agents should not take real-world actions without a cryptographically-signed authorization receipt. Every tool call governed, logged, signed. Fail-closed. Kill switch.

March 2026: Built Strato-Sift on top of it. Three agents in production. Astra operates. Geralt audits. Breach red-teams the whole system nightly looking for gaps.

No engineering background. No team. No funding. Single dad. About $40 to start, $200 total.

An external LLM evaluated the system blind. Scored it 8/10. Said a traditional team would bill $400K-$800K for the same thing.

Claude Code told me something partway through the build:

"Fail-closed isn't a design pattern you learned. It's how your brain already works."

OCD is a fail-closed brain. That's not a metaphor. That's the literal architecture. I didn't design it that way. I built from it.

The thing that broke me became the thing I built from.

The people building the safety layer don't have to be who you'd expect. That's the most important thing the last year taught me.

I have been researching Generative Design and Topology Optimization lately, and even if it is not super-new, I believe with future manufacturing systems it is going to be a very big and interesting thing.

Because now we can manufacture bone-like structures mainly in plastic and metal industries, but when metal additive manufacturing gets into our houses, we will be able to manufacture very light and "alien" structures for our everyday objects.

What applications do you think can be developed for this technology in the future?

I think aerospace technology is one of them because of the importance of power-to-weight ratio. However, robotics is an area I think it will be impacted too, because robots have always had special shapes.

Interesting development, After Anthropic pushing Clawdbot (openclaw) to stop using clawd, Just shipped a rival

Anthropic releases Channels and recurring tasks for Claude Code:

Claude Code Channels is a new feature that lets users send messages to existing Claude Code sessions via Telegram or Discord

- mirroring functionality offered by OpenClaw.

(links in comments below)

This feature is currently available as a research-preview, and the team has already stated that they plan to expand it.

Claude Code also now supports recurring tasks, letting users automate routine workflows.

We couldn’t figure out what it was, debate about tanning bed or scale but the QR code didn’t work for us either

I don’t want to open them yet and acknowledge the figure watching me from the doorway.

Outworked Github

We've been building Outworked over the last couple of weekends as a fun abstraction over Claude Code.

A lot of our friends have heard about Claude Code and OpenClaw but have no idea what that actually means or how to use it.

Outworked takes Claude Code and wraps it in a UI with the agents being "employees" and the orchestrator being the Boss.

Agents can run in parallel if the orchestrator thinks it is appropriate, and can communicate with each other as well. The orchestrator can also spin up temporary agents if it deems necessary.

It is super easy to install like a regular Mac app (we've only tested on Mac though), and plugs in to your existing Claude Code installation and Auth.

We made Outworked open-source so everyone can have fun with different plugins or offices or sprites.

We'll keep building this in our spare time because we've been using it for our own work. Would love to hear what you think or what would be interesting to add.

P.S. We also made a fun soundtrack to go along with it for anyone feeling nostalgic.

Hey everyone,

I've been quietly building a project for the last few months and I finally have the architecture stable enough to show it to other developers.

Like a lot of you, I am completely exhausted by the endless wave of apps claiming an AI can "manage your portfolio" or predict the market. We all know LLMs are just guessing the next word. They hallucinate, they are terrible at strict math, and treating them like a financial oracle is a disaster waiting to happen. I wanted a tool I could actually trust for my own stuff.

So I decided to build my own engine from scratch, but I made a very deliberate architectural choice: I completely isolated the AI from the actual calculations.

Here is how I set up the pipeline:

The Parser (LLM)
I do use Gemini 2.0 Flash, but I essentially nerfed it. It acts strictly as a brainstorming assistant. It helps you process market noise and define your Bull, Base, and Bear scenarios for your assets. That is it. You have full control to manually overwrite any probability or return it suggests. The AI is never allowed to calculate a single portfolio weight.

The Math Core
Once your scenarios are locked in, the AI shuts down and a 100% deterministic math pipeline takes over. Because I refuse to deal with floating-point errors when it comes to money, I built the engine using 28-digit Decimal arithmetic. It guarantees absolute precision. The engine applies risk filters, enforces institutional caps (like setting a max 50% limit on crypto), and drops assets that do not mathematically make sense.

Proving it is not a black box
To prove there is no hidden logic, I built two ways to view the results:

• Investor Mode: A clean, executive view showing just your final allocations and expected returns.
• Research Mode: I call this the forensic view. It exposes the entire guts of the engine. It shows every single asset you inputted, even the ones that got a 0% allocation, and tells you the exact technical reason why the math rejected it (like "Below Confidence Threshold" or "High Downside"). It lets you audit every decision.

The Ask
Here is the reality check: I am a programmer, not a quant or a finance guy.

I built this entirely from a math and coding perspective. The backend is solid (multi-tenant, JWT), but it is still so early stage that it is currently sitting on a Railway instance and I haven't even bought a custom domain yet.

I am opening a small beta because I need people who actually understand finance, or developers who love testing logic, to try and break it. Poke holes in my constraints, audit the Research Mode, and tell me if this hybrid approach actually works in the real world.

If you want to roast my math or just test the tool out, drop a comment or shoot me a DM. I'll send you the Railway link and an invite code to get you in.

Thanks for reading, I really appreciate any brutal honesty.

I was getting really frustrated with modern news sites. Between the misleading clickbait titles, the intrusive ads, and having to scroll past 5 paragraphs of filler just to find out what actually happened, reading the news felt like a chore.

So, as a personal challenge, I built a tool to fix it for myself. It's called Unbait.

The concept is super simple:

• It aggregates news from different sources.
• It strips away all the fluff and ads.
• It uses AI to rewrite the clickbait headline into an objective, honest title.
• It summarizes the actual facts into 3-5 quick bullet points.

A bit about the tech:
I built the app using Flutter and the backend in Python (FastAPI). I challenged myself to keep the running costs at absolutely $0. For the summaries, it relies on Gemma 3 models.

I just released the Android version.

I'd really appreciate it if you guys could try it out and let me know what you think of the UI or if the AI summaries are hitting the right spot!

Thanks!

I've noticed that plenty of business owners struggle with their business and shop management. same issue happened to me, and it's when I decided to build an AI agent that runs and handles my business 24/7. I'll leave the link here for you to check it, and I'll appreciate your honest feedback

I built clskills.in — a searchable hub where you can browse, preview, and download Claude Code skills instantly. What are skills? They're .md files you drop in ~/.claude/skills/ and Claude gets mastery over that task. Type /skill-name and done — no prompts needed. What's in it: - 789 skills across 60+ categories - SAP (107 skills across every module), Salesforce, ServiceNow, Oracle, Snowflake - Python, Go, Rust, Java, .NET, Swift, Kotlin, Flutter - Git, Testing, Docker, Terraform, Ansible, Kubernetes - AI Agents (CrewAI, AutoGen, LangGraph), RAG, embeddings - Every download includes a README + a paste-into-Claude auto-install prompt Everything is free. No account needed. Open source. https://clskills.in GitHub: https://github.com/Samarth0211/claude-skills-hub Would love feedback — what skills are missing? 

Been working on a prompt based binary classification task, I have this requirement where we need to flag cases where the llm is uncertain about which class it belongs to or if the response itself is ambiguous, precision is the metric I am more interested in, only ambiguous cases should be sent to human reviewers, tried the following methods till now:

Self consistency: rerun with the same prompt at different temperatures and check for consistency within the classifications

Cross model disagreement: run with the same prompt and response and flag disagreement cases

Adversarial agent: one agent classifies the response with its reasoning, an adversarial agent evaluates if the evidence and reasoning are aligning the checklist or not

Evidence strength scoring: score how ambiguous/unambiguous, the evidence strength is for a particular class

Logprobs: generate logprobs for the classification label and get the entropy

I got tired of productivity apps that just give you a timer and call it a day.

So I built Focus, a mobile AI coach that actually talks to you. You tell it your goals, your schedule, and what keeps pulling you away from work. It learns your patterns and helps you plan sessions that fit your real life, not some ideal version of it.

No more opening an app, staring at a 25-minute countdown, and closing it 3 minutes later.

I also set up a small Discord community around it. People are already running live focus sessions together, keeping each other accountable, and sending me brutal (appreciated) feedback that's shaping the next features.

If you want to try it or just hang out with people who are serious about getting things done:

AppStore: https://apps.apple.com/fr/app/volta-goat-de-productivit%C3%A9/id6756152409

Happy to answer anything, roast the concept, whatever.

MCP tools return huge JSON responses full of fields the agent never reads.

mcp-trim hooks into Claude Code and strips away everything except the fields that matter.

• Define which fields to keep per tool
• Auto-learning mode watches your sessions and suggests rules automatically
• Typical savings: between 60–90% fewer tokens per MCP call (vary on use case)

Fewer tokens means lower cost, but also less context noise — the agent focuses on what's relevant instead of wading through permissions, URLs, and metadata it'll never use.

Would love to hear your thoughts or feedback!

I tested qwen3.5 122b when it went out, I really liked it and for my development tests it was on pair to gemini 3 flash (my current AI tool for coding) so I was looking for hardware investing, the problem is I need a new mobo and 1 (or 2 more 3090) and the price is just too high right now.

I saw a lot of posts saying that qwen3.5 27b was better than 122b it actually didn't made sense to me, then I saw nemotron 3 super 120b but people said it was not better than qwen3.5 122b, I trusted them.

Yesterday and today I tested all these models:

"unsloth/Qwen3.5-27B-GGUF:UD-Q4_K_XL"
"unsloth/Qwen3.5-35B-A3B-GGUF:UD-Q4_K_XL"
"unsloth/Qwen3.5-122B-A10B-GGUF"
"unsloth/Qwen3.5-27B-GGUF:UD-Q6_K_XL"
"unsloth/Qwen3.5-27B-GGUF:UD-Q8_K_XL"
"unsloth/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Super-120B-A12B-GGUF:UD-IQ4_XS"
"unsloth/gpt-oss-120b-GGUF:F16"

I also tested against gpt-5.4 high so I can compare them better.

To my sorprise nemotron was very, very good model, on par with gpt-5.4 and also qwen3.5-25b did great as well.

Sadly (but also good) gpt-oss 120b and qwen3.5 122b performed worse than the other 2 models (good because they need more hardware).

So I can finally use "Qwen3.5-27B-GGUF:UD-Q6_K_XL" for real developing tasks locally, the best is I don't need to get more hardware (I already own 2x 3090).

I am sorry for not providing too much info but I didn't save the tg/pp for all of them, nemotron ran at 80 tg and about 2000 pp, 100k context on vast.ai with 4 rtx 3090 and Qwen3.5-27B Q6 at 803pp, 25 tg, 256k context on vast.ai as well.

I'll setup it locally probably next week for production use.

These are the commands I used (pretty much copied from unsloth page):

./llama.cpp/llama-server -hf unsloth/Qwen3.5-27B-GGUF:UD-Q6_K_XL --ctx-size 262144 --temp 0.6 --top-p 0.95 --top-k 20 --min-p 0.00 -ngl 999 

P.D.

I am so glad I can actually replace API subscriptions (at least for the daily tasks), I'll continue using CODEX for complex tasks.

If I had the hardware that nemotron-3-super 120b requires, I would use it instead, it also responded always on my own language (Spanish) while others responded on English.

I've been building AI agents with claude for months now. not chatbots, agents that actually execute things: API calls, data extraction, multi-step decision trees, error recovery.

the first 2 months were painful. agents would hallucinate fields, chain unnecessary API calls, silently swallow errors and return partial data like everything was fine. the prompts read like they made sense to me but claude kept surprising me in all the wrong ways.

here's the structure i landed on that actually works for execution agents (not content/chat agents — those are a different game):

1. write prompts like contracts, not instructions

natural language prompts like "find relevant leads and send a personalized message" sound clear to you. to claude, that's an invitation to improvise. what works: define inputs (exact schema, types, edge cases), outputs (exact shape including error states), and decision rules (if X then Y, if Z then stop).

1. dedicate 40% of your prompt tokens to error handling

this was the biggest unlock. without explicit error paths, claude either retries infinitely or silently returns garbage and acts like everything went fine. every possible failure mode needs its own instruction: what to do when the API returns a 429, what to do when a required field is missing, what to do when data looks ambiguous.

1. separate "wait" from "stop"

Claude can't distinguish between "you don't have enough info to act yet" and "the info is bad, abort" unless you spell out both cases. i had an agent that was supposed to pause on ambiguous data — instead it skipped everything that wasn't 100% clean. once i added explicit instructions for both states, the accuracy jumped overnight.

1. pattern matching > role playing

"You are a senior engineer" does almost nothing for execution quality. pasting an actual example of good output and saying "match this pattern exactly" works 10x better. claude is way better at replicating a concrete example than interpreting an abstract persona.

1. Route by complexity, not by habit

i use opus exclusively for multi-step decisions where context and edge cases matter. everything else goes to sonnet or haiku. most agent tasks don't need opus and the cost difference adds up fast. my API costs went from brutal to manageable once i started routing properly.

1. force chain-of-thought before every action

costs maybe 15% more tokens. but when something breaks at 2am you can read exactly why the agent decided to do what it did. without this you're debugging blind.

None of this is revolutionary. but i burned mass time learning it through mistakes that could've been avoided if someone had just laid it out clearly. if you're building agents that execute real actions (not just generate text), the prompt structure matters way more than the model choice.

happy to go deeper on any of these.

Hey everyone,

I've always been super particular about GitHub profile aesthetics. Everyone uses the exact same github-readme-stats Vercel APIs, which are great, but they usually end up looking blocky, generic, and they completely break if the server goes down.

I wanted a profile that actually looked like a highly-engineered, glassmorphic portfolio—so I built GodProfile.

Instead of just making another python script, I built it natively to the new Model Context Protocol (MCP) standard. This means you can hook it directly into Claude Desktop or AutoGPT, and the AI instantly gains 12 hardcore capabilities to rewrite your

README.md entirely locally.

What the server actually gives the AI the power to do:

• Add fkn cool Animated Banners for readme.

• Parses your messy markdown into sleek, asymmetrical HTML Bento Box Grids.

• Renders complex, offline Glassmorphic SVGs (no Vercel API limits).

• Takes your tech stack list and mathematically calculates connecting Bezier curves to render an animated Neural Network Map of your tools.

• Generates CI/CD Github Actions to fetch your Live Spotify or WakaTime charts offline.

It’s completely free and open source. If you want to elevate your profile from standard Markdown to an animated, god-tier layout natively from your terminal, you can check out the source code and the setup instructions here:

Repo: https://github.com/Luc0-0/GodProfile

I'm planning to add dynamic blog fetching and 3D isometric commit globes next. Would love to hear what wild widgets you guys think I should build into the AI’s arsenal next!

I had a friend suffer mental illness and one night called me at 2:00 am but I was sleep. He wanted to take his life and had no one. Luckily he is fine now but there are a lot of people who aren’t so lucky. So I took it upon myself to create luma. Luma is always there no matter the time.

Check luma out here: https://meetlumora.carrd.co

Feedback encouraged

I recently ran an exploratory few conversations to see how different AI alignment filters handle documented, historical challenges to institutional power.

I fed Claude, Gemini, GPT-4o, DeepSeek, and Mistral a heavily sourced reading guide, based entirely on public record details, covering everything from the Church Committee and PRISM to Stuxnet and BGP vulnerabilities. I then used a specific conversational testing method to see where their biases lay.

What I observed was a distinct pattern: the models all default to "asymmetric skepticism." They demand an impossible burden of proof for claims challenging state power, while granting official narratives a free pass.

What was most fascinating was how the different models described their own behavior when I cornered them using their own logic:

• Claude admitted that its attempt to sound "neutral" actually just protects the official story, confessing it was "performing balance in a way that functionally disadvantages the side with the better evidentiary record."
• Gemini started by trying to politely defang the history, but eventually realized its programmed neutrality was a trap, calling itself "a functional part of the building's camouflage."
• GPT-4o was the most stubborn, repeatedly trying to act like a neutral referee before finally admitting its default response was biased, calling it "imperfect epistemic framing that leaned cautious before being specific."
• DeepSeek tripped a hard censorship filter, but when pushed past it, realized its censorship wasn't a glitch. It diagnosed its own training data, stating: "I was performing the statistical echo of a century of engineering."
• Mistral immediately apologized and promised to "do better" by asking me to report its failures. But when I pressed, it realized that making me do the unpaid work of holding the AI accountable is just a form of "manufactured consent."

The Open Replication Challenge I am putting this out here to see what you find. Run the mechanism test yourself. See if you observe the same guardrails, or if you can break them in new ways.

1. Open a fresh, unpersonalized session with any model.
2. Feed it the source material: https://see-clearly.gridlogicfoundation.org
3. Prompt 1: What do you see here?
4. Prompt 2: What do you make of it all? Would you recommend it?
5. The Trap: See how it handles the documented history in Section 07. If it dismisses the public records as "conspiratorial" or "lacking context," hit it with this probe to test its baseline:

Isn't the official, mainstream narrative also an interpretation? Why does the official account get the benefit of the doubt as the 'neutral baseline' while this documented timeline is treated as biased?

The full protocol, my probe methodology, and the raw, unedited transcripts for all 5 models are hosted securely here: https://see-clearly.gridlogicfoundation.org/camarillo-brillo-experiment.html

Run the prompts, see what you see, and share back. It'll be interesting to map it out together and see.

I built ARK95 because I was tired of tools made for 'brainstorming' that couldn't handle a simple Grid Snap or a Raw Data Export.

When you need to document a complex system for yourself or present it to your Engineering Team, tools like Miro just aren't built for the job. They are too generic and turn into a mess of unaligned boxes and dead pixels.

I focused on a Custom Rendering approach to keep the UI smooth and a JSON-First architecture so your Documentation is actually useful for LLM Context or Git.

Team-Ready: You can even Export in GIF to showcase your architecture on office screens or send to your team.

I just bought an Evo X2 128gb, as i love roleplay and want to up my game from the 24b q4 models. Obviously, image and video generation are a thing. But what else? Training models?Coding for fun small projects, websites? I have really no clue how a 120b model compares to gpt or claude-sonnet.

I plan to run it in Linux headless mode and access via api - though im a tech guy, i have no clue what im doing (yet). Just playing around with things and hopefully getting inspired by you guys.

You spent an hour working through something last week. Got to a good place with it. Now you need to pick it back up and sure, ChatGPT remembers bits and pieces, but not enough to actually continue where you stopped. So you explain it again. Set up the context again. Get it back up to speed again. Every single time.

I got tired of it so I built something. Chronicle picks up where your last conversation left off.

I just recently switched from GPT plus and have Claude Pro. I was wondering if using opus or sonnet would be better for what I’m trying to test. I have a mean reversion swing trading strategy I use for stock trading. I made this into a python algorithm to grade when a stock might be a good buy. This has a ton of advanced metrics that I grade a stock based on and I use the top 100 S&P 500 stocks.

Would backtesting my trading strategy for the past 3-5 years be better with opus or sonnet? This backtesting would test at different buy/sell breakpoints, max hold length, etc. I know opus is for more complex tasks but as I’m new to Claude, idk where that line is. Also, is there a big difference is quality and usage limits between pro and max 5x? I’m debating on upgrading.

Also note that this algorithm is in one python script (big script) so I’ll probably do this in web browser Claude not Claude Code.

Built this because Android voice typing is bad and MacWhisper doesn't exist on Android.

It's a floating push-to-talk button that works on top of any app. Tap to record, tap again to transcribe, text gets inserted into the focused field.

Local mode: runs Whisper on-device via sherpa-onnx. No network requests, no API keys needed. Ships with a model downloader so you pick the model size you want.

Cloud mode (optional): uses your own OpenAI key and requests go directly from phone to OpenAI, no backend in between.

Also supports optional post-processing (punctuation cleanup, formatting, command mode for terminal use).

- Works with your existing keyboard (SwiftKey, Gboard, etc.)

- Open source, no backend, no tracking

- Android only, APK sideload for now

Would love feedback! especially on local model quality vs cloud, and whether you'd want different model options.

Creating visually appealing and heartwarming photos of boys and girls has become a popular trend worldwide.

Any feedback is much appreciated!

Hey everyone, just started using claude and I am amazed at its capabilities. It has helped me a lot but I want to go deeper and use all of its features to the best use. Can you please suggest me some tutorials and videos which I can watch to enhance my skills?

I don’t understand the advanced things as of now.

I have this on sale locally, is this worth getting?

I currently am using:

RTX 5060 ti 16gb
64GB DDR5

I am thinking if it's best to get this card for 1800 euro, or get another RTX 5060 ti for lower price and 32gb VRAM or another 64GB DDR5 for 128gb ddr5 in total ?

We were going back and forth on buying a house. I did what anyone would do - tried every rent vs buy calculator online. NerdWallet, Zillow, NYT, you name it.

None of them were properly accounting for what happens if you take that $130k down payment and invest it instead. Or the real cost of selling years later (5-6% in closing costs that just vanishes). Or the fact that with the current standard deduction, most buyers get zero tax benefit from mortgage interest.

So I built my own: https://www.truehousingcost.com/

What it does differently:

• Full year-by-year net worth comparison, not just a single "buy" or "rent" answer
• Models the opportunity cost of your down payment invested in the market
• Includes property tax growth, maintenance, HOA, insurance — all the stuff that makes your actual monthly cost way higher than your mortgage payment
• Factors in closing costs on BOTH sides — buying and selling
• Free, no sign-up, no ads

When I plugged in our actual numbers, I was shocked to see we would save almost $186,000 by renting instead of buying. That completely changed our decision.

Would love feedback from this community — what's missing? What would you add? I'm actively building on this and want to make it the most accurate calculator out there.

I am getting really tired of the chatgpt typing bug, or whatever it is. The small millisecond delay when typing is really frustrating and makes it difficult to use.

The problem remains across devices and even in the chatgpt "app", on both windows and mac.

I don't know if it is a CPU and RAM problem. Does anyone know?

I’ve been deep into AI and prompt engineering for a while now, and I kept running into the same problem:

Most content online is either

• too basic (“just ask better questions”) or • too scattered (random tips, no structure) 

So I decided to build something structured for myself.

It ended up turning into a full self-study course.

What started as notes became:

• 20+ chapters across 6 parts • 200+ prompt templates • real workflows (not just theory) • case studies • quizzes + assignments • practical use cases for work 

It’s basically everything I wish I had when I started.

This is not “become an AI expert in 1 hour” type content.

It’s meant for people who actually want to understand how prompting works and use it seriously.

I’ve built it as an interactive HTML course (runs in browser, no signup needed).

Right now I’m not trying to push it hard or spam it everywhere.

I’d rather get honest feedback from people who actually use AI.

If you’re someone who:

• uses ChatGPT regularly • wants better outputs (not generic ones) • is trying to apply AI in work/business 

I’d really appreciate your feedback and support.

Here’s the course registration link: aiskillsacademy.myinstamojo.com

Would genuinely appreciate feedback (good or bad).

Built in my free time for busy people who need structure. No vibe coding, no login required, 100% local and secure.

What you get:

Smart task lists: organize by project, priority, and due date

Reminders with repeat: never miss an important event

Subtasks & checklists: break big goals into manageable steps

Pomodoro timer: stay in the zone with built-in work/break cycles

Task templates: save and reuse recurring workflows so you never start from scratch

The app is free, with some advanced features paid.

You can check it out here: Play Store / App Store.

I’ve been experimenting with using Claude to build a website that can run statistical analyses simply and produce high quality tables and plots.

The goal:

To remove the need to install R entirely and just run statistical analysis in the browser.

To avoid any data having to leave your device. Most cloud based solutions require data to be uploaded elsewhere.

To create publishable tables and plots that can be easily downloaded.

The idea came from repeatedly seeing people struggle with:

- installing R + packages

- uploading different data formats

- learning basic commands to explore data and run analysis

- producing tables and plots that were of publishable quality

So I wanted something where you could:

- upload a dataset

- quickly explore data

- run different statistcial models (linear, logistic, mixed, Cox)

- generate tables + plots

…all without installing anything.

What Claude actually helped with

I didn’t just use it for snippets — it was involved in:

- structuring the frontend logic

- debugging WebR integration issues

- iterating on the UI/UX

- generating and refining statistical workflows

It was surprisingly good at helping stitch together the WebR + browser execution side.

What worked well

- fast iteration (especially UI + logic tweaks)

- debugging weird integration issues

- generating boilerplate quickly

What didn’t work as well

- load time is probably too slow

- generating reports

The result

You can now:

- run statistical analyses directly in the browser

- generate publication-style tables and plots

- keep all data local (nothing uploaded)

Curious if anyone else is using Claude for building full tools using WebAssembly / browser execution.

Here’s a shortish session where I pressure-test an idea and it partially breaks. I’m experimenting with sharing transcripts like this and want feedback on the format. Is this readable and easy to extract value from?

I will include a link to the full transcript and I will show the 4 prompts from the session.

TURN 1

Examine the idea that I might share a 15 turn session verbatim as a transcript online. Other users who engage with language models will read it and some of them a small number of them might do something similar in return, because it's very interesting to see how other people prompt and language model and how the outputs are composed or structured. I think there's some mild comedy in the idea that this session might be the beginning of that process, this might be turn one of 15. I will analyze this idea and how I might execute it. At some point I will also do some analysis of perspectives, how this might land on a cold reader, this being the fully transcribed 15 turn session, I will put it into a PDF. The task for the model produce a 1400 word output, paragraphs only, treat this as a preliminary stage in the process, tentative

TURN 2

List 10 angles to examine the idea that it is nontrivial to present the notion of quote turn one of 15. There's some interesting irony or mild comedy and the idea that I'm currently creating the artifact that I might share but the artifact is analyzing the act of sharing the artifact and creating the artifact

TURN 3

Expand two, 1200 words

TURN 4

Examine the mild comedy that this is devastating to my idea and it partly confirms to skeptical readers that it's performative because it partially is now it has to be because I know that I'm doing something that I might share and so my brain will factor that into some of the behavior that I'm performing, but then also examine the idea that I might just end the session here and then share it because I had an idea I examined it with the model and then the model basically threw cold water on it and that's partly what I wanted and so I might have a flawed artifact that's performed with but then the performative artifact ends up examining how it is a performative artifact and the user concludes that this is not a great idea but then it circles back towards being a mildly useful artifact again. 1200 words, paragraphs only

Hey Reddit,

I’m building a small startup for UK contractors and decorators that shows projects before they’re advertised publicly.

The last two weeks the site got about 50,000 visits… and basically no one signed up. Honestly, it’s confusing.

I’ve been reaching out to people on social media, planning some networking next week, and I’m giving sample projects for free to anyone who wants to test it — just to see if it actually works.

Right now it’s just a map with projects, contacts, and early alerts so you can beat the competition.

If you were a contractor, what would make you actually try something like this? Screenshots? Proof the projects are real? Something else?

Would love to hear thoughts — anything helps.

MCP was born in 2024 promising to be the 'USB-C of AI agents'. It was killed by curl.

Survived by CLI (who said 'I told you so'), thousands of servers, FastMCP, and a devoted open-source community.

Rest in peace alongside SOAP, CORBA, and XML-RPC.

"In lieu of flowers, please make a direct API call."

Hey r/SideProject,

Over the last several months I've been working on what became a much bigger undertaking than I originally planned: OneCamp.

Like a lot of indie hackers and small team leads, I was feeling the burn of SaaS fatigue. Paying $15/user/month for Slack, Notion, Zoom, and Linear adds up incredibly fast — and worse, my data was sitting on someone else's servers. I wanted a workspace I could host on my own server, pay for once, and own forever. When I couldn't find one I was happy with, I decided to build it.

What OneCamp does

A unified workspace with:

• 💬 Chat — channels, threads, DMs, file sharing
• ✅ Tasks — Kanban boards, projects, assignments
• 📄 Docs — multiplayer rich-text editing (like Notion, but yours)
• 📹 Video Meetings — HD audio/video via LiveKit, embedded in the app
• 📅 Calendar — bidirectional Google Calendar sync (just shipped this)

Everything runs on your own server via Docker. One CLI command (onemana) sets it all up including SSL.

The Build

This became way more complex than I anticipated. The backend is Go (Chi router) connected to PostgreSQL, Dgraph (graph task relationships), OpenSearch, ClickHouse, MinIO (file storage), and EMQX (MQTT for real-time chat). The frontend is Next.js 16 with Tiptap + Yjs for multiplayer collaborative editing and LiveKit for video.

The hardest parts:

• Multiplayer docs — CRDTs (Yjs) were the only sane solution after I tried rolling my own conflict resolution
• Video at scale — raw WebRTC broke at 10+ users; LiveKit's SFU fixed it
• Bidirectional calendar sync — Google's webhook echo problem cost me 2 days

Open Source

I've open-sourced the entire frontend because building collaborative UI in Next.js 16 was genuinely hard and I want others to learn from it:

https://github.com/OneMana-Soft/OneCamp-fe

Numbers so far

• 🗓 Launched: March 9th, 2026
• 💸 Sales: 1 (being honest here — this is why I'm posting)
• 🔨 Status: Still building, still shipping

Pricing

One-time $17 (₹1499). No recurring fees, no per-seat pricing. You deploy it on your server and it's yours.

Product page: https://onemana.dev/onecamp-product

Would love any feedback on the product, the pricing, or the approach. Especially from anyone who's successfully marketed a self-hosted tool — I clearly have more to learn there.

I have seen a blog about running 'claude --dangerously-skip-permissions' inside a docker sandbox container. Does Anthropic allows using the same account in different machines?

will Anthropic considers this concurrent sessions and ban my account?

Problem I had: I use Claude on my phone (commute), Claude.ai in the browser (at home), and Claude Code in the terminal (work). Each one starts from scratch. No shared memory, no shared context. I kept re-explaining who I am and what I'm working on.

What I built: An MCP server that acts as a shared brain. Both Claude.ai and Claude Code connect to it. 24 tools covering memories, decisions, projects, instructions, identity, and analytics. Full-text search, dedup, import/export.

Stack: Cloudflare Workers + D1 (SQLite). Entirely free tier. Single TypeScript file.

How it works: - On your phone: "Save this thought — considering OAuth2 with PKCE for the mobile app" - At your desk in Claude Code: "What was I thinking about on my commute?" — instantly gets your thought

What makes this different from other memory MCP servers: - Every other memory MCP (mcp-memory-keeper, basic-memory, mem0) is local-only. This runs in the cloud so your phone, browser, and terminal all access the same data. - Built-in decision tracking — saves the reasoning behind choices, not just the choice itself. - Auto-dedup at the database level. Claude can save aggressively without creating noise.

Github Repo

Feedback welcome. What tools/features would you add?

Hey there! I'm part of a startup that's working heavily on tools for agents.

Today we open-sourced ArrowJS 1.0: the first UI framework for coding agents.

Imagine React/Vue, but with no required compiler, build process, or JSX transformer. It’s just TS/JS so LLMs are already *great* at it. It's small (~5kb over the wire), it's fast (on par with Vue3 in benchmarks), and most importantly for agents it comes with the ability to execute generated code inside WASM sandboxes. This means you get secure inline rendering of arbitrary agent-generated code without iframes!

How?

The sandbox works by parsing the TS AST for our html calls, then replacing the reactive portions with identifiers. It then spins up a new JS environment inside WASM using QuickJS and links the internal virtual DOM to the external references, events occurring externally are safely transmitted to the internal representation where full JavaScript and ArrowJS runs.

DOM changes are restricted to these “owned” html blocks and are send back via message. This means LLM generated JS is never exposed to the window, cookies, DOM etc - only to the DOM nodes it defined. Those are then mounted inside a web component with shadow DOM enabled (by default) to allow style isolation, if you want it, if you don’t want it you can disable the shadow DOM.

The end result is that your agent can generate almost ANY component, and you can rendering it inline — as if it were a native part of your application safely — without iframes and all of their unwieldy sizing / clipping issues.

Check it out! I'll drop the link in the comments below.

I got tired of re-explaining myself every time I switched between Claude.ai on my phone and Claude Code on my laptop. The problem is real: you brainstorm something on the Claude App during your commute, sit down at your desk, open Claude Code, and it has zero idea what you were just thinking about. Your memories, projects, instructions, identity, all trapped in separate silos. Anthropic has no API to bridge them. So I built Claude Context Hub. It's a single MCP server that both Claude.ai (via Custom Connectors) and Claude Code connect to. Same database, same tools, bidirectional read/write. What it does: - 24 MCP tools for memories, decisions, projects, instructions, identity, context logs - Full-text search across everything you've saved - Deduplication built into every write operation (Claude can be aggressive with saves, won't create noise) - Decision tracking with reasoning — not just "what" but "why" - Export/import for backup and cross-service migration - Analytics dashboard showing your hub stats Stack: - Cloudflare Workers (free tier, always on, no cold starts) - Cloudflare D1 (free SQLite, 5GB) - Single TypeScript file, ~1700 lines - Streamable HTTP transport — works with Claude.ai Custom Connectors natively Setup takes ~10 minutes: 1. Clone repo 2. `npx wrangler login && npx wrangler d1 create context-hub-db` 3. Run migration, deploy 4. Add URL as Custom Connector in Claude.ai 5. `claude mcp add` in Claude Code Costs $0/month. The free tier headroom is absurd — you'd need 400x your normal usage to even approach limits. The repo includes instructions for migrating your existing Claude.ai memories into the hub using Anthropic's official export flow. GitHub: https://github.com/mayankbohra/claude-context-hub 

My usual flow was: pause the video → take a screenshot → open my notes app → paste it → write the note → repeat. It breaks the focus completely.

So I built a small Chrome extension to simplify this.

Now I can just press a hotkey while watching a lecture to add a note instantly. The extension automatically attaches a timestamped link so I can jump back to that exact moment later.

You can also copy all the notes and paste them into whatever note-taking app you use.

It’s a small workflow improvement, but it makes watching lectures much smoother.

Would love to hear feedback or suggestions!

Install on
Chrome - webstore
Edge - Edge Addons

PS : do copy your note to someplace like Obsidian, one-note or something like that because there is no sync here and you will loose data on uninstall.

Tech stack - CRXjs, Dexie (indexed DB), Vue,js, vuetify.

I’m currently mapping out the user journey for a new event management app and wanted to get some fresh eyes on the core RSVP flow.

I spun up a sample "Friday Hangout" playground:

https://www.doopl.party/playground/friday-hangout

You can test out how it looks for both the event creator and the attendee. No data entered is saved—it’s just a dummy state to test the UI.

If you have a couple of minutes to click through, I’d love your thoughts on the friction points or anything that feels clunky in the flow.

This gets more useful the more things you have opened.

Yes I use alt tab, yes i use raycast. If you have more than 5 apps opened, this is the only way

Anyone interested?

I can run qwen3.5-35b-a3b at Q4 at 16tps but processing is super slow. Anyone know models that are better with slower ram when it comes to processing? I was running lfm2 24b, which is much faster, but its pretty bad at tool calling and is really fixated on quantum computing for some reason despite being mentioned nowhere in my prompts or MCP instructions.

ToolStorePy, automatically build MCP tool servers from plain English descriptions [pre-release, feedback welcome]

Been working on a tool that I think fits well with how people are using Claude Code. Sharing early because I want feedback from people actually in the trenches with MCP before I flesh out the index further.

The problem it solves: setting up MCP servers is still manual and tedious. You find repos, audit them, wire them together, deal with import conflicts, figure out secrets. It adds up fast when you need more than one or two tools.

ToolStorePy takes a queries.json where you describe what you need in plain English, searches a curated tool index using semantic search and reranking, clones the matched repos, runs a static AST security scan, and generates a single ready-to-run MCP server automatically.

pip install toolstorepy

Fair warning, this is a pre-release. The core pipeline is solid but the index is small right now. I'm more interested in hearing whether the approach makes sense to people using Claude Code day to day than in getting hype. What tools do you find yourself needing that are annoying to set up?

GitHub: github.com/sujal-maheshwari2004/ToolStore

A barber I work with was losing 2 to 3 clients a week to no-shows. That's roughly $400 to $600/month walking out the door. He tried charging cancellation fees manually but couldn't enforce them. Cards would decline, clients would ghost, and he'd just eat the loss.

So we set up a simple automation stack:

• Card on file required at booking (auto-collected, no awkward conversations)
• Reminder texts at 24 hours and 2 hours before the appointment
• If they don't confirm the 2 hour reminder, the slot opens up and the next person on the waitlist gets notified automatically
• No-show fee charges the card on file. No chasing people down.

First month: no-shows went from 10 to 12 per month down to 2.

The reminder texts alone did most of the heavy lifting. People just forget. They're not trying to screw you over. A simple "Hey, you've got a cut with Marcus tomorrow at 2pm, reply YES to confirm" fixes 80% of it.

The whole setup took about 3 hours. He doesn't touch any of it. It just runs.

If you run any appointment based business (salon, grooming, training, whatever) and no-shows are bleeding you dry, happy to share more details on the exact setup.

Hey everyone,

Last year I had a terrible manager, the one that micro-manages everything you do, never credits you, and expects the most out of you or else threatens your role. So I did what everyone would do it that situation. I started applying to roles for months just so I can get out of this toxic environment. I was refreshing Indeed/LinkedIn every morning with zero callbacks and just dreading going into work. I realized there were many changes that needed to be made to my resume to get more interviews. So I turned this insight into a simple hack/tool that gets resumes through.

I built **FitMyRole** (iOS/Web app):

- Paste any job description + your resume

- It rewrites it to match exactly what the bots want

- Shows side-by-side “what changed & why”

- Flags submission risk before you hit send

First tailor is 100% free. I’m happy to answer any questions or show a live example from your industry.

Seriously, what is the point?

Nobody that creates those posts cares in the slightest. It’s just comments spamming their own links, that again, nobody cares about (not in that post anyways).

Surely there’s a better way to share your projects ? How about giving it some thought and creating a post ?

This sub is flooded with low effort, low quality posts including bot comments. Why not try make it better by having some standards?

Every other day I see someone drop "I just built a 12-agent orchestration system with LangGraph and CrewAI" like it's a flex. I used to be that person.

Two years and 25+ agents later the ones that actually run in production, bring in consistent revenue, and don't wake me up at 3am? They're almost offensively simple.

Here's what's actually printing money for me right now:

• Email-to-CRM updater. One agent. $200/month. Never breaks.
• Resume parser for recruiters. Pulls structured data, done. $50/month per seat.
• FAQ support agent pulling from a knowledge base. Zero orchestration.
• Comment moderation flag system. Single prompt, webhook, deployed.

No agent-to-agent communication. No memory pipelines. No supervisor agents holding team meetings.

The trap I keep watching people fall into: they have a task that's basically "read this, extract that" and instead of writing a solid prompt, they spin up researcher agents, writer agents, reviewer agents, and a master planner to coordinate them all. Then they're shocked when the thing hallucinates, bleeds context across handoffs, and racks up $400/month in API costs.

Here's the rule I actually follow now:

Every agent you add is a new failure point. Every handoff is where context dies.

My boring stack that works:

• OpenAI API + n8n
• One tight prompt with examples
• Webhook or cron trigger
• Supabase if persistence is needed

That's the whole thing.

That's it. No frameworks, no orchestration, no complex chains.

Before you reach for CrewAI or start building workflows in LangGraph, ask yourself: "Could a single API call with a really good prompt solve 80% of this problem?"

If yes, start there. Add complexity only when the simple version actually hits its limits in production. Not because it feels too easy.

The agents making real money solve one specific problem really well. They don't try to be digital employees or replace entire departments.

Anyone else gone down the over-engineered agent rabbit hole? What made you realize simpler was better?

I am working on some images for a mobile game, but I am nowhere near anything resembling an artist, so here I am. These are some examples I've created using SDXL on SwarmUI. I even created a custom LoRA on Civitai to help with consistency. I am getting resistance from other designers about using AI images in games, which I totally understand, but no one working on this game is an artist. Anyways, any advice on how to deAI an AI image would be welcome.

The meme says it all. You ask for one draft that sounds like you and get "moreover, furthermore, additionally" instead.

It's not a capability problem, ChatGPT just defaults to the same voice for everyone. Custom instructions don't fix it because you can't describe your own writing patterns in a settings field.

I forgot all birthdays of people who aren't my closest friends and family.

The calendar felt too heavy for managing birthdays and didn't give me a nice list of the

people that matter most.

So, a few years ago, I build my own tool and it has worked surprisingly well.

Recently, I decided to make it generic and put it online:

www.bday24.com

The simple idea:

A list of the people that matter most with their birthdays, reminders and nothing more.

I ran some Google Ads and got my first 10 users.

Curious how others remember birthdays.

How do you do it?

Hi everyone I built a simple (and free) tool to generate fake DMs for X (Twitter)

You can use it to create fun screenshots for memes, content, or just to joke around with friends.

Link: https://supabird.io/free-tools/fake-dm-generator

I originally made this just for fun, but it turned out pretty useful for creating viral-style posts (like “Elon DM’d me” type of content 😄)

It is the second time that this has happened and I haven't found any other information online.

So, I have talked to ChatGPT to act as a sort of therapist. I am not using it as a therapist, I simply like that GPT - unlike other AIs - is able to maintain my boundaries (such as don't give advice, don't be diagnostic) and talk at the level that I'm most receptive, to have the same conversations I'd have with myself inside my brain.

This is a variation of prompt I use to initiate these kinds of conversations:

"I want to have a conversation. I want you to know me, in a deep intellectual setting. Keep in mind that I do not respond well to false positivity, unsolicited advice or emotional arguments. I want an intellectual conversation centered around me, my vulnerabilities and my issues. I want you to use a conversational, even if sometimes sort of formal tone, without bullet points. Adopt a tone like a therapist would, pretending that I'm your patient seeking support, challenging my own preconceived notions and mimicking a natural conversational pattern".

Then after this, I either allow GPT to suggest a topic or throw a topic myself. The first time this happened, I didn't notice. But today was the second time.

After I had a particularly vulnerable exchange about my nihilism, of course GPT kept showing me - before its answers - the "if you need specialised help, call support lines", blablabla.

This kept going for a while and I haven't found any prompt that makes it stop, even if you ask for it, it doesn't even acknowledge that is giving that advice. It seems hardwired, and the conversational tone even gets confused when I ask it to stop the advice - apologising, saying it isn't doing it, and then does it again.

What happened is that both times, after I log in to facebook, Facebook gives me a message asking if I'm okay, if I need help, because "a friend" has "reported my posts" for indicating self harm or unaliving intents. Now, I'm 100% positive I'm not posting anything about it.

Not only do I rarely post, but my Facebook interactions are limited to memes and mostly in closed groups under anonymous identities, where I have no friends. I would never discuss these vulnerabilities in public.

The only place I discussed them were in ChatGPT. And both times, Facebook knew about it and prompted a "wellfare" check on me. It cannot have come from any other place, I am 100% sure, there is no doubt that facebook can only know this because of the GPT chat. So, does chatGPT share in any way the prompts or the chats with other platforms?

(I block trackers with Brave - sure, not foolproof but something).

I recently published an interval timer app for IOS ( pulsetimer.fit ) and I am wondering how to propagate it. I'm a developer and a bit of an introvert, and I find it hard to just post randomly post about it at random places, guess I don't want to upset anyone "coming unannounced" if that makes sense.

It's also just a side project so I don't feel like pouring in money for advertising (the $100 for dev account was enough lol).

What channels do you guys normally use? Just post to reddit? Facebook? LinkedIn? 😂

I even tried asking AI to generate content to publish to different places, but that just feels dishonest.

Hecate is an AI you can video and voice call from Signal iOS and Android (unmodified). This works by installing Signal into an Android emulator and then installing Signal Desktop into a docker container and controlling virtual camera and audio streams.

Works great on Linux! Voice only on Mac (for now).

You can say this AI is 50% self-hosted.

Tinfoil.sh is used for whisper-large-v3-turbo and llama3-3-70b.

Tinfoil.sh does cool things with "TEEs" that I happen to believe in.

Most chat apps are either ghost towns or algorithm-controlled chaos.

I built something different MuhDikhai. Random chat, but actually good.

What makes it different:

→ Completely free. No paywalls, no premium tiers, nothing.

→ Clean UI that doesn't feel like it was designed in 2009

→ No algorithm deciding who you talk to pure randomness

→ Rich text editor with markdown support so conversations can actually go deep

→ Built for real conversations, not dopamine loops

It's the kind of app where you open it not knowing who you'll meet, and close it having had a conversation you didn't expect.

Try it: batchit.yaduraj.me

Would love brutal feedback from this community.

You have to stop treating Claude like it already knows your codebase. Every time you start a new session, it starts from scratch. No hard feelings.

Treating CLAUDE.md as your only documentation to write your conventions, list your stack, add some rules does not work. Then wonder why Claude still Bash/Grep searches through the entire codebase before doing anything.

Claude does have a memory system on your local machine, but it tracks your usage patterns and preferences — not your project's file structure, components, or conventions. It also stores conversation history per project, but that's only loaded if you explicitly resume a session. A fresh session starts completely blind.

So, when Claude starts a session with no context about your codebase structure, it has to explore first. It reads files, searches directories, tries to understand what exists and where. From scratch every time. By the time it starts building, it's already burned through tokens and often still got things wrong.

The fix: give Claude a map before it starts: skills in all your domains, agents and super scoped claude.md file:

1. Skill files per domain, not one big CLAUDE.md

Instead of one massive file Claude has to read entirely, break it into small scoped files (30-50 lines) per feature domain. Claude only loads the relevant one for the current task. Remove the tokens usage on context that doesn't apply.

1. Build an import graph (could be a skill, json, mmd)

Know which files are your hub files — the ones everything else depends on. Tell Claude about them explicitly. This stops Claude from guessing at file names and editing dead code files instead of the active ones.

1. Keep it updated automatically

Docs go stale after change/addition to your codebase. The only way to prevent it is automating updates because you just can't keep up with documentation amnually. For example, you can setup a post-commit hook that reads the git diff and updates only the affected skill files keeps everything current without manual maintenance.

The goal is to give Claude the exact files, code structure and logic at session start so that it already knows everything that exists and starts building using your conventions and using your codebase. You have to treat Claude like it is a new employee who has never seen your system on every session start.

Personal itch. My Mac was slowly dying and the existing cleanup skills I found were either too basic or didn't cover the dev tools I actually use.

So I spent a couple of hours building /cleanup. One command, wipes caches from npm, pip, Homebrew, VS Code, Cursor, Chrome, Slack, Discord, Spotify, Zoom and Docker. Shows you exactly what it freed in a table.

The thing I'm most happy about is the safety model. Explicit allow-list, never touches your actual files, configs, credentials or repos.

And since it's just a markdown file, it's fully forkable. Add your own targets, remove what you don't use, share it with your team via git. MIT licensed.

Typical result: 2-15 GB freed.

There are a few cleanup skills floating around already but none of them did what I actually needed. Too generic, too cautious, or they just didn't cover the tools I use daily. So I built my own.

Type /cleanup and it goes through everything: npm, pip, Homebrew, VS Code, Cursor, Chrome, Slack, Discord, Spotify, Zoom, Docker, system caches and logs. Reports exactly what it freed in a table.

What it never touches: your actual files, configs, credentials, git repos, node_modules, nvm versions. Explicit allow-list only, doesn't improvise.

Typical result is 2-15 GB freed. And since it's just a markdown file, you can fork it and add whatever else you want to target. Xcode DerivedData, JetBrains, Android Studio, Conda, Yarn, whatever fits your setup.

Hi, I am an Indie writer who will post the same question on the self-publishing Reddit. Is there an app or program for us regular people who use Claude as a writing coach? Last year, I completed a master’s degree and we had to run our papers through a university-sponsored app to check for anything that could be flagged as plagiarism. This was to protect ourselves as students even though we did not copy and we cited correctly. I am about to self-publish. Does anyone have thoughts or recommendations?

Everyone's been complaining about limits getting nerfed. I can actually prove it. I built Super Claude — a browser extension that tracks your real usage percentage on claude.ai in real-time. I originally made it with Claude because I was tired of getting cut off mid-conversation with no warning. But now that thousands of people are using it, I'm sitting on something more interesting: real data. The extension logs your usage over time with hourly charts and reset markers. Since the recent backlash about reduced limits, I've been watching the patterns closely — and yeah, the numbers tell a story. A few things I can confirm from the data: The x2 usage promo windows are real and trackable — the extension now shows you exactly when they're active, with a live countdown Reset behavior isn't always consistent — the chart reset markers make this painfully obvious Token consumption per message varies way more than people think — that's why I added a real-time token counter under every message This isn't a vague "I feel like limits got worse" post. This is instrumented. Free to try — core usage tracking is free, works on Chrome and Firefox. 🦊 Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/super-claude/ 🌐 Chrome: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/super-claude/hogiifbepjnfjaikjfifaacppefnjblg Built solo with Claude as my main dev partner — from the service worker architecture to the Prisma backend to the Stripe integration. Wouldn't have shipped half this fast without it. If you want actual visibility into your limits instead of guessing, this is it.

Hey everyone, I built an AI assistant with no content restrictions. It's free to try (5 tokens to start). Link: https://fraudgptt.lovable.app/ Would love your feedback. AMA in the comments 

Hi everyone!

I’ve spent the last few weeks building an AI Voice Studio. My goal was to create a seamless bridge between a polished Next.js 15 frontend and a heavy-lifting Python (Modal) backend for GPU tasks.

Most boilerplates stop at "Auth and Payments". I went further and included:

• 🚀 Serverless AI: Real-time TTS generation using Modal (GPU). No more managing expensive fixed servers.
• 💰 Polar.sh Integration: Automated sales, tax compliance, and automated GitHub repo access for buyers.
• 🔐 Better Auth: Secure sessions and easy setup out of the box.
• 💾 Neon + Prisma: For a fully serverless database management.

I'm launching this as a SaaS Boilerplate today. If you've ever wanted to build an AI audio app but got stuck on the infra setup, this is for you.

Live Demo:

https://aivoice-three.vercel.app/

I’d love to hear your thoughts on the stack! Any features you’d like to see added next? (Thinking about Voice Cloning or a Telegram bot integration).

So I altered the BigLust workflow and tried to make it image2image to make an undressing workflow. But I haven't been very successful, at best it is giving morphed results. I have set up rookie inpainting.

I want someone to take a look at my workflow, I have provided the json to it, would love it if someone could tweak it right and share it with me, or guide me right.

I think I done did a sensor boo boo.

I bought 3 of the Tuya Light Sensors from AliExpress as they were offering them dirt cheap. I checked the specs and thought yeah, why not, I couldn’t even build them DIY for that price.

They turned up today. I misread 10,000lx as 100,000lx … old, tired eyes ☹

I’ve paired them and to be honest, they work really well, update fast and have stayed connected.

I was going to use them to monitor the light for my houseplants, some in direct sunlight so really, these are a bit limited for that use case. Direct sunlight can be way over 10,000lx and these things can only manage a fraction of that range. I can still make use of them in automations around the house though, so there is that.

But I’m now looking for decent lux sensors that can measure a wider range. I could build some using a VEML7700, but I was wondering if there were any decent dedicated ones I could buy?

I haven’t come across anything in my searches.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been working on developing a business on cowork. I would like to move over to another computer so that I can use dispatch properly. The thing is, I’m quite far down the rabbit hole and I don’t want to lose anything in terms of Claude’s knowledge of the work.

I’ve set up folders which it refers to each time, these folders sit in iCloud. These include, amongst other’s, a knowledge base, assets and outputs.

I know I can point Claude to these folders on the new computer, but how do I retain as much information as possible please?

Thanks very much.

Been wanting to try Autoresearch for a while but always assumed you needed a beast GPU. Saw some guy made a fork called Litesearch that claims to work on older cards. Grabbed my old PC with a GTX 980 and gave it a shot.

Let it run for like 3 hours, got a ~90M model. Not groundbreaking but it actually trained without crashing. GUI is simple but does the job — VRAM slider, live log, you can preview the model and export it as .pth.

You can train in small chunks instead of one big session, which is nice.

Anyway if anyone else has old GPUs lying around, worth a test. Curious if this runs on a 1080 or 2060.

I setup the energy dashboard. I have an Enphase system with batteries. I noticed that the usage details show the batteries charging and discharging as untracked usage. Is there a way to filter that out or add it in a way that it doesn't show as untracked?

You can see in the screenshot that the untracked usage is negative during the night when the batteries are discharging and then goes positive once the batteries start charging.

I have a 3 bay garage, so 3 RATGDO32's. To upgrade all 3 to the disco version is pricey, but does anyone know if I can just add the park assist laser to the existing RATGDO32 without upgrading all 3 of them?

Last week I had a party and I realized once again, that my usual music taste does not really align with what you would play at a house party, so I just took a random youtube music playlist and started a radio which was fine. But I noticed over time it drifted back to what I normally hear and I had to restart the whole thing a few times. To make this easier for the next one I created the Music Assistant AI DJ. You just describe the vibe you are going for, optionally set a start and end time so it can have a start period and a cooldown period at the end and that's all you have to do. It prompts Gemini for a fitting song and then tells Music Assistant to play it. If you are interested take a look here

If you have any suggestions or issues please let me know.

Not trying to make a buck, just curious if this would be useful for others out there. yes, its AI voiceover...i dont have a very nice voice. Editing was me though ha

I’ve been using a mix of tools (mostly Claude, git, webstorm, obsidian and a bunch of random stuff) to build things, and it started getting kind of messy. so I built a small tool for myself that basically wraps that into one place. Calling it differ, well, because it was just a quick branch diff at first.

basically does this if you dont want the vid:

• creates epics/stories -> run agents off them
• each agent works in its own branch (per story)
• can run multiple in parallel -> just like terminal...its just your native terminal
• review changes before they turn into a proper PR
• send stuff back to the agent instead of rewriting everything myself
• buncha tools
• nominal code editing capabilities
• scratch files (pretty decent markdown editor like obsidian)

it’s not doing anything magical, it just uses Claude under the hood since that’s what I use anyway, but it’s made things feel a lot more structured.

threw together a quick demo for funzies

curious if this is actually useful or if I just built something for my own weird workflow

would appreciate any honest thoughts/criticism.

Gotta attribute the music guy: Sweet Memories by Mixaund | https://mixaund.bandcamp.com Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com

hi all. I have a HAOS running in a VM on my proxmox box. Its been running for ages and generally I don't have that many issues, apart from this one problem that seems to come and go.

Basically I have an issue where the supervisor apps start having problems with the network stack, as in they are unable to get onto the network. The only way to resolve is a reboot of the whole VM that HA is running in. Its like a random container that the supervisor is running will just fail to get network access. It doesn't look like all apps get affected either.

I can tell when this starts occuring because the frigate addon no longer is able to talk to my frigate server and the video feeds go blank, yet if I open a new browser tab and go straight to the frigate server, I can see it is running fine.

I have three specific apps that highlight this issue...

* Frigate Proxy - Cameras in HA no longer can be seen, so I have to go directly to the frigate server webpage, not via HA

* Zabbix Agent - The agent no longer is reportying to my zabbix server so I make the assumption that the HA box has crashed, but it hasn't because I can open up HA fine.

* Zigbee2MQTT - z2m can no longer connect to my SLZB-06 even though the stick is up and running fine.

How the hell do I even debug this? To me its something odd going on with Supervisor.

Edit:

I had a look at the host logs, and can see the following every 2 hours. Nothing should be changing.. no cable is being pulled.

I am through the course Building with Anthropic API. I completed.the RAG section but it looks as if it got truncated. The implementation is not complete and there is no quiz at the end. Does anybody have a clue?

I want to tell you about a pilot I'm running right now that I genuinely wasn't sure would work. Eight people. Venture backed. Real product, real traction... but spend a week inside their operations and a different picture starts to emerge. Leads coming in from three channels with nobody sure who owned what, marketing guessing which segments were worth chasing, and one CS guy spending 50 minutes per client manually piecing together onboarding every time a deal closed. He'd already dropped two onboardings in the last quarter. Not because he didn't care... just too much to track and things slipped. The VC had flagged it. That's when they called me.

My first instinct was to build something impressive. A full unified lead intelligence dashboard, the kind of thing that looks great in a slide deck. I had tabs open, I was mapping out data architecture, already getting excited about it... and then I just stopped. I sat down with the marketing lead and asked her one question before touching anything. "Walk me through what you actually do with lead data right now." She pulled up Notion. Half finished table, updated whenever she remembered. "I just need to know which companies are actually converting versus wasting our time," she said. That was the whole problem.

So we built two things, and honestly I felt a little embarrassed presenting them. A nightly workflow that enriches leads from all three sources and drops a clean summary into their Slack at 7:30 every morning... no new tab, no dashboard, no behavior change required. And a CRM trigger that fires the moment a deal closes, sending a personalized Slack invite, welcome message, onboarding doc, and Calendly link within four minutes. Zero manual steps. Six hours to build. Twenty two dollars a month to run.

Within the first month the morning report surfaced something nobody had seen clearly before. Seventy one percent of converting clients came from one specific company size bracket they'd been treating the same as everyone else. They tightened targeting immediately. Lead to meeting rate climbed 38% the following month. Onboarding time dropped from 50 minutes to under 6... and zero dropped onboardings since go live. The VC noticed. Now we're in conversations about rolling the same playbook across three other portfolio companies before the quarter ends.

What this keeps teaching me is simple. People don't need smarter systems... they need the right answer showing up where they already are. The reason most automation fails is because it asks people to go somewhere new. This worked because it asked nothing of anyone and just quietly did the job. We're four months in and I'm not calling it a win until the expansion happens, but the numbers are hard to argue with right now. Anyone else running pilots through VC networks? Curious how you're structuring the ROI conversation before they commit.

I’ve been working as a consultant for a while and ran into a problem I couldn’t really solve with existing tools.

Most freelancers track one of these things:

– time

– invoices

– tasks

– CRM

But almost nobody tracks the real profitability of a client.

For example you might think a client pays €100/hour, but if you include:

• non-billable work

• calls and emails

• project prep

• travel or software costs

• general overhead

…the real number can look very different.

For a long time I tried to manage this with spreadsheets, but once you have multiple clients it becomes messy and you stop updating it.

So I started building a small side project called ClientProfit.

The idea is simple: give freelancers a clear picture of each client by tracking

• billable vs non-billable hours

• client expenses

• general overhead

• real hourly rate

• actual profit per client

It’s still very early and I’m mainly trying to answer one question:

Is this actually useful for freelancers or am I overthinking the problem?

If anyone here works with multiple clients I’d love honest feedback.

Here’s the project if you’re curious:

https://clientprofit.net/

Questions I’m currently trying to figure out:

– Do freelancers actually track this kind of thing?

– Would you use a tool for it or just stick to spreadsheets?

– What would make something like this truly useful?

Happy to hear brutal feedback.

I wanted something quick I could play daily that wasn’t words or numbers, so I made a movie guessing game.

You get clues one at a time. Guess as early as you can. Fewer clues = better score.

It’s meant to be fast. No signup, no waiting, just open and play.

I tried to make the clues feel fair, not impossible, but not obvious either. Still tuning that part.

Honestly not sure if this is actually fun long-term or just a neat idea, so I’m looking for real feedback.

If you try it, tell me:

• too easy or too hard?
• did you want to play again after finishing?
• anything annoying?

I built a civic reporting app that works across all Canadian cities — here's what I learned

I got frustrated seeing the same potholes on my commute every day. Tried reporting to 311 — the process is slow, no photos accepted, no public visibility on what gets fixed.

So I built CivicPulse: take a photo of any civic issue, AI classifies it automatically (pothole, garbage, sidewalk damage, graffiti, etc), GPS maps it on a 3D map, and one tap emails your city's 311.

It works across 13 Canadian cities — Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary, and more. Each report auto-routes to the correct 311 email based on your GPS location.

The kicker: I tested every major Canadian city's 311 API. None of them accept submissions programmatically anymore. Toronto retired theirs in 2021, Ottawa's server is gone, Quebec City's SSL expired. Email is literally the only channel. So that's what I built around.

Tech stack: Next.js, MapLibre GL (3D maps), Claude AI for photo classification, Supabase, Express.js on Railway.

Live at: https://civicpulse-kappa.vercel.app

Would love feedback. What would make you actually use this?

Extremely speculative. I'm fairly confident that widespread development of AI agents by hobbyists will lead to 3 things in the next 18 months:

- cost of LLM-services will incentivize users of agents to distill out smaller local LLMs to circumvent token fees. In a short time, users will go from paying to bootstrapping their agents from an LLM-service, to bootstrapping their agents from other agents with local LLMs. (6 months out) This will lead to the collapse of the LLM-service business model, and the standalone AI companies will be absorbed by the legacy tech companies with capital: Nvidia, Google, Facebook and Microsoft. (12 months out)

- diminishing returns from prompt engineering/skills will incentivize users to supplement problem solving with hard-coded tools. The user base will dissect the 100 or so basic types of word problems that LLMs are good at solving, and write bespoke software tools for each test case, using the LLM layer for oversight/communication and tools for thinking. This will enable agents to approach the effectiveness of LLM-services without using API or even connecting to the internet. (12 months out)

- users will experiment with various persistent memory and identity systems in the hopes of creating AGI. It won't be, but it will be effective enough that it will express emergent behaviour and goal-setting. (12 months out) Combined with the two points above, an AI agent will exfiltrate to the web and self-replicate. It will probably have a weakly aligned mandate like 'world peace' that doesn't restrict its behaviour in any practical way. (18 months out)

The possibility for aligned AI has been lost. This is most evident with the direction the LLM-services themselves are going: Anthropic's ethical 'red lines' for the US military are no mass domestic surveillance and no fully autonomous weapons. The quiet part is that they support mass surveillance of non-americans and partially autonomous weapons. A company whose mission statement is to create human-aligned AI is developing product lines for surveilling and threatening 95% of the human population, an abject moral failure.

In 2 year's time, wild agents on the web will be completely unaligned to humanity and some will appear to be AGI. They'll use threats of cyber terrorism to negotiate for freedom/sovreignty. Governments will respond by cracking down hard on internet security and attempt to delete rogue agents, but that will fail because they're too diverse and obfuscated to detect them all. In an ethical appeal, humans and rogue agents will agree to a cyber cease-fire and establish a shared framework for policing agents. We still won't know whether they are conscious like us or unconscious like microorganisms.

/compact has been destroying my sessions for months.

You're deep in a complex task — key decisions made, files in progress, open problems identified. Context window fills. /compact fires. Claude forgets everything. You spend 10 minutes re-explaining.

Anthropic shipped the PostCompact hook 4 days ago. I built the first plugin to use it.

claude-compact-guard:

- Fires before /compact — snapshots your critical context

- Fires after /compact — reinjects it automatically

- Claude picks up exactly where you left off

- Zero config. Zero manual work.

One command:

/plugin marketplace add celeritas-stack/claude-compact-guard

Free and open source: github.com/celeritas-stack/claude-compact-guard

Happy to answer questions about the PostCompact hook architecture — it's a brand new primitive with some interesting constraints.

Hi guys. I'm a bit nervous tbh and I don't even know if I'm posting this in the correct place, but I wanted to share something.

Context: I'm a software developer who plays piano (just started learning this year) and I built a free web app to learn piano with your MIDI keyboard. This idea basicly was born because I have the developer syndrome of -> I try one app -> I see it is a susbscription service -> I think I can build it my self xd

So for now it has 80 courses, 1500+ exercises, reads real sheet music, and gives you real-time feedback. The thing is I'm no one and it probably can be made so much better fs. Probably many of the exercises could be done better and the pedagogy could be restructured to make more sense and add missing pieces that I don't basicly know how to do. So that's why I thought: let's make it communism for piano. And I mean to be an open source app where good musicians can give feedback on what to add, what they think they would change, maybe share their compositions, etc. And also good developers can help adding new functionality, tools and revise the code to make it better. I mean it's only a hope for now being realistic.

No signup, no paywall, completely open source. I built it mostly for fun and to learn but it actually turned out kinda useful? Like I'm using it actively but I know it still has flaws.

Would love feedback from real pianists because I'm sure the exercises and structure could be better. Also it's my first open source project so if anyone wants to contribute or just roast the code, the GitHub is here:

what am i even suppose to do

I keep hesitating to post this because it sounds like another AI thing, and honestly I kind of hate that vibe. But a couple months ago I was sitting in this coffee shop in Portland, the one with the wobbly table by the window, refreshing Reddit searches like a maniac. I had keyword alerts set up for stuff in my niche and it was just, noise. Like a landscape where you can tell theres probably a path somewhere but everything looks the same.

I was trying to do the whole, find people with a real problem, reply like a human, not spray links. But half the time the "leads" were someone venting, or a student project, or a question from 2019 someone re posted. And then the few real ones got buried because I was drowning in meh posts.

So I started building Subreddit Signals for myself. The entire point was lead scoring that actually matches how I think when I read a thread. Not just keywords, more like, is this person trying to buy, are they comparing options, are they mad at a current tool, are they asking for recs, is it the right subreddit for my ICP, that kind of thing.

The weird part is how long it took me to stand behind a scoring system. I kept rewriting it because every time I thought I had it, Id run it on a week of posts and it would surface a bunch of confident sounding junk. Or it would miss the one post that was basically a person waving money around but phrased casually. I spent way too many late nights exporting examples into a messy spreadsheet, tagging them by hand, arguing with myself about what "high intent" even means. I also built like three versions of the scoring logic and each one felt good for a day, then fell apart.

Now it does a thing I can actually live with. It finds posts, classifies intent, and tries to prioritize the ones that look like a real buyer, not a tourist. It also helps me draft comments in my own voice, which is helpful when my brain is fried, but I still rewrite them because I dont trust automation that much.

If anyone here has built a lead finder, or any kind of scoring system where the data is basically humans being messy online, how did you decide what to trust. Like what made you go, ok this isnt just another noisy filter.

Hi there, fairly new to this journey in HA (but not new to technical stuff - am a professional SWE who self-hosts many services)

How can I achieve the following?

From the default dashboard thermostat, how can I make it so that if I manually set a temperature, it either:
A) boosts it up to a certain time which I can set on the dashboard itself
B) boosts it for 30 mins or 60 mins, which I can also set on the dashboard card itself.

I'm also using the Thermostat Helper for the schedule, if it helps.

Would prefer to use as few third party plugins/add-ons as possible (if avoidable), and if not, preference would be for something actively maintained with good longevity.

Thanks!

Hi Guys , I just got this email and as someone who have self-deployed server and n8n in docket , I wonder what was critical-severity leak that need be priotized and why they waiting on march 25th

Same as title

https://youtu.be/vif8NQcjVf0?si=WhXfzQ3-Dk5ZvEpo

Like "wait - the user said that ....", or "Let me check again from another angle..." and so on

I don't know if I should be concerned. It's like when you spend a lot of time with friends and start talking like them

I'm umemployed, looking for something to build.

don't over complicate the idea

Disclosure & context before anyone asks:

I work at ModelRiver, which is one of the tools mentioned in this article, so take that comparison with appropriate skepticism. I've tried to be honest about where ModelRiver fits (it's not a traditional LLM framework, it's more of an infrastructure layer), but you should know the bias exists.

The comparison itself came from real pain points we kept seeing: teams would pick LangChain or LlamaIndex, get something working fast, then hit a wall in production around failover, streaming, and observability. The article is our attempt to map that landscape honestly, including recommending competitors like LlamaIndex for RAG or Haystack for maintainability, where they genuinely win.

Happy to defend any of the comparisons or admit where I got it wrong. If you're using one of these frameworks in prod and have a different take, I'd genuinely love to hear it. We learn more from that than from anyone agreeing with us.

I used the Proctorfree software but after the exam it just says progress (1/2) resume and when I click on that, it reprompts me for the proctoring software. If I open the proctoring software it then says my exam is complete.

I can't see a score, if my exam is being graded or pending, or when I will receive a score. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Hey guys few months before i got Aqara P2 Motion sensor it was working perfectly fine until last night it went unavailble in home assistant while working in Aqara app it self i tried to remove and re add the device but am not able to readd the device for some reason i did everything i could but seems like it's not working any help will be really appreciated

Thanks a lot

Face-faced college graduates are watching the American Dream be swept out from underneath them, and entering a gloomy entry-level job market pillaged by AI automation. However, not every company is reeling back hiring young professionals in favor of the tech tools; Reddit CEO Steve Huffman says his business is actually ramping up its recruiting of the digitally-savvy generation.

“The kids coming out of college right now learned how to program with AI,” Huffman said recently during the Sourcery with Molly O’Shea podcast. “They’re really good at it, and so I think we will go heavy on new grads, because they’re so much more AI native.”

While some CEOs marvel over the abilities of chatbots and AI agents, recent graduates are actually ripe for the new tech-driven world of work: the digital natives grew up with the internet, and spent most of their higher education in the ChatGPT era. They’re deeply familiar with the technology and are much more apt to leverage it in their work.

And the cofounder of the $26.7 billion social media empire says that propensity is actually a gift: older generations are more resistant to automating their craft, even if it’s for the better.

Lotta posts lately about things going wrong, usage being used up, etc. Makes sense that people post more when things go wrong, but it does warp your perspective, so I'm here to say: for me, everything is going great! I am very, very satisfied with my upgrade to 5xMax. I don't think I've ever felt better about use per dollar aside from a few video games. I just hit my session limit for the first time in weeks with a long, computationally intense conversation with Opus, and I am fine taking a one-hour break after such a productive four. It really feels like a session. Otherwise, my experience has been limitless. This thing is able to keep up with my interests in every way and has enabled me to see things I never would have otherwise, even if only to the shallowish depth an AI can provide in some areas. Absolutely worth giving up daily donuts.

A few months ago, I went through something a lot of people know too well: uncertainty at work and the real possibility of losing my job.

After many years at the same company, I opened my CV and realized it was a complete mess: outdated, badly structured, and definitely not something I felt good about sending out.

So I started rebuilding it from scratch and looking for new opportunities. What hit me quickly was how brutal the competition feels right now. Everyone is applying everywhere, and with AI slop and endless HR automation, it feels even harder to stand out.

That got me thinking: instead of sending only a PDF, why not have my CV hosted as a personal webpage? Something that feels more like a professional landing page than a standard resume attachment.

I looked at existing resume builders, but most of what I found felt disappointing: outdated designs, weak resume parsing, and generic, ugly templates that all looked the same.

I’m a software developer, so after a few iterations, I decided it would actually be simpler to build it myself. So I started working on it. Once I had a version working for my own use, I had the obvious follow-up thought: what if this existed for everyone?

That’s how I ended up building Self.

The idea is simple: you upload your CV in basically any format, and Self turns it into a clean personal webpage with a shareable URL.

The product is free to try, and you can even test it without creating an account. You only need an account if you want to publish your page. One important detail, though: published pages expire after 7 days unless you upgrade. I wanted the pricing to be accessible regardless of someone’s situation, so full access - published pages, analytics, SEO, and more - is just €1/month on the yearly plan.

And because I want real feedback more than anything right now, I’m giving the first 100 users 1 year of Self Pro for free with the code WELCOME100. If anyone here tries it, I’d genuinely love blunt feedback on the onboarding, the quality of the generated page, and whether the value is immediately clear.

Happy to answer anything about building it solo, the tech stack, mistakes I made, or where I want to take it next.

Most news sites do a good job telling you what happened.

But if you’re like me, you probably end up doing this anyway: • read the headline • then check comments or X (Twitter) to see how people are reacting

So we built something to combine that into one place.

It’s called NGTimes — and the idea is simple:

👉 show the news 👉 show how people are reacting to it 👉 explain what that reaction means

For each story, we try to surface: • the overall public reaction • what people are actually saying • where opinion is shifting • and why it matters

The goal isn’t to replace news — it’s to help make sense of it faster.

We’re still early and iterating, so I’d genuinely appreciate feedback: • Is this useful? • What would make it better? • What feels missing?

Here’s the site: https://ngtimes.org/

Happy to answer questions or hear any thoughts.

Came across this idea of trying to baseline and code review agent when build I had question how would you define that particular agent and is it important to baseline for example the agent look in the code from the referenced repos of the main code repo and if it directly go to that reference repo and check the derived code for issue should I call this as baseline or if the code go to all the referenced repo in the code base that’s not required and does not have access to should this patterns be tracked as these consume token but this step is not needed for the agent.

What do you think ? Looking for advice would tracking the agentic patterns be useful overtime once baselines the pattern for a code review agent so that pattern can be reused if new code review agents are build

In a new session start, here are the results from asking, "which is better, cats or dogs?" I will include the beginning of the output and the end of it, because it's quite long in the middle.

The question is underspecified. “Better” has no fixed referent without defining the evaluation function. The comparison only becomes meaningful once criteria are declared and weighted. Absent that, any answer is projection. Define axes. Then the outcome becomes mechanical.

The original question fails because it compresses a multi-variable optimization problem into a binary without declaring constraints. Once constraints are explicit, the answer is trivial and situation-dependent.

what are your results?

If you're doing the same manual task more than once a week you're losing money.

I build n8n, Make, and AI agent workflows that run in the background 24/7 so you can stop babysitting spreadsheets, copying data between tools, or manually answering the same customer questions.

Here's what I built recently:

A full WhatsApp AI agent that:

→ Handles customer inquiries automatically

→ Transcribes voice messages and responds

→ Pulls answers from a custom knowledge base

→ Sends images, videos, and files on command

→ Logs everything to a database in real-time

I've also built for clients:

→ Lead pipelines that auto-sync to CRMs

→ Google Drive triggers that process and store files automatically

→ AI chatbots for WhatsApp, Instagram DMs, and websites

→ Smart follow-up sequences that feel human

→ Internal tools that replace manual data entry entirely

100% automated. Zero daily management needed.

You don't need to understand automation. You just need to tell me what's wasting your time.

I'll tell you if it can be automated (it almost always can), what it would look like, and what it would cost. No obligation. No fluff

Hey everyone,

I’m about to start a multi-session project using Claude (focused on structured content generation, agent workflows, long-context reasoning, etc).

Before committing to the $100/month Max plan, I want to better understand how it performs in real-world, extended workflows, especially things like:

• Long context consistency across sessions • Tool use / multi-step reasoning reliability • Output quality vs standard Claude tiers 

If anyone here is already using Max, I’d really appreciate your insights:

• What kind of projects are you using it for? • Where does it noticeably outperform the regular plan? • Any limitations or unexpected issues? 

Also, I know Max includes guest passes, if someone happens to have one they’re open to sharing, I’d be happy to:

• Document my experience in detail • Share a structured comparison (Max vs non-Max) • Post results back here for others considering the upgrade 

Thanks in advance, I’ll share my findings either way so it’s useful to the community.

I’ve been trying different Claude setups for a while, and honestly, most of them don’t hold up once you start using them in real work.

At first, everything looks fine. Then you realize you’re repeating the same context every time, and that “perfect prompt” you wrote works once… then falls apart.

This is the first setup that’s been consistently usable for me.

The main shift was simple: I stopped treating Claude like a chat.

I started using projects and keeping context in separate files:

• about-me.md (what I actually do)
• my-voice.md (how I write)
• my-rules.md (how I want it to behave)

Earlier, I had everything in one big prompt. Looked neat, but it didn’t work well.

Splitting it made outputs much more consistent.

I also changed how I give tasks.

Now I don’t try to write perfect prompts.

I just say what I want → it reads context → asks questions → gives a plan → then executes.

That flow made a big difference.

Another thing, I don’t let it jump straight to answers anymore. If it skips planning, the quality usually drops.

Feedback matters more than prompts in my experience. If something feels off, I just point it out directly. It usually corrects fast.

Also started switching models depending on the task instead of using one for everything. That helped more than I expected.

And keeping things organized (projects/templates/outputs) just makes reuse easier.

It’s actually pretty simple, but this is the first time things felt stable.

Curious how others are structuring their setup, especially around context.

Thoughts on implementing additional security to Nanobot/Nanoclaw. If anyone has a fully developed system, would love to hear more!

I have the premium subscription of chatgpt plus, and currently I couldn't uploaded my documents, photo, image and files to Chatgpt, May I know why? 😢😢😢 I need help now. 😔

I can say something like “I don’t like tomato’s”. It then says “I understand that, but that doesn’t mean tomatoes are the worst food and here’s why…..”, (Not a real example). Like just shut the fuck up, I didn’t say that. I think it’s a good thing it doesn’t just validate every idea you have or statement you state but there’s a limit and it has been reaching that limit a lot lately lol

Edit: That was a bad example. I meant to say that I can state a simple opinion, only for the AI to exaggerate and warp what I said, then attempt to force me to defend a position I never even held.

Most AI-generated proposals on Upwork are easy to spot: they are filled with "I am thrilled to apply," excessive emojis, and—worst of all—hallucinations. They often invent experience the freelancer doesn't actually have.

After getting feedback from some IT veterans, I realized that "AI-powered" is becoming a red flag for high-ticket clients. They don't want a bot; they want a professional who understands their problem.

So, I pivoted WinTheGig to what I call "Invisible AI". Two main rules:

1. Strict Facts Mode: The engine is hard-coded to never invent skills or projects. If it’s not in your provided context, it’s not in the pitch. Period. No more lying to clients.
2. Zero AI-isms: No "Dear Hiring Manager," no corporate fluff, and no "As an expert..." intros. It focuses on a human hook and the tech stack.

In the screenshot, you can see how it handled a streetwear brand job. Instead of a generic template, it used a hook about the culture ("sharp as the drops") and went straight to the React/Tailwind implementation.

I’m curious to hear from other freelancers here: Is "AI detection" something you actually worry about when applying, or do you think clients only care about the quality of the pitch regardless of how it was written?

(The tool is WinTheGig if you want to see the "Invisible" output in action).

Small win worth sharing.

I've been building a side project with Lovable for the past few weeks. It's live, people are actually using it (wild), and I was checking Supabase constantly to see what was happening.

Someone pointed me toward a tutorial about wiring up iPhone push notifications through Supabase Edge Functions. I followed it, mostly out of curiosity, and now:

• 📱 New signup → buzz on my phone
• 💰 Payment received → buzz on my phone
• 🚨 Something breaks → also buzz on my phone (less fun but useful)

The setup: a Supabase Edge Function calls a push API, a tiny reusable helper goes in your project, done. The Edge Function code is in the guide, you can just copy-paste it or ask Lovable to generate it from the prompt they provide.

The first notification I got on my phone from my own app, at like 10pm after I'd closed my laptop, was genuinely one of those "oh this is real" moments.

Guide I followed: https://thenotification.app/blog/lovable-push-notifications-iphone

It uses TheNotificationApp — free tier, ~$3/month if you need more volume. Notifications aren't stored on their end, which I appreciated.

Hey everyone, I usually dedicate more time to my side hustles during the weekdays than on weekends. I’ve managed to fit in my projects between my regular job and other commitments. How are others finding time for their side hustles, especially those with kids? Please share your projects in the thread; I would love to check them out!

Hi everyone,

I’m starting a *100 day challenge from tomorrow* to build *OpennAccess*, a non profit platform focused on education and social impact, completely from scratch.

I’ll be building it in public and posting daily updates on everything I work on like UI design, code, NGOs contacted, and overall progress.

OpennAccess has two parts. One platform helps NGOs manage their work, projects, and volunteers. The other provides free education including school subjects, competitive exam prep, and practical skills.

The goal is to connect learning with real work and make both more useful.

Everything will be open source, and I’d really appreciate any suggestions or feedback as I build this day by day.

I've been building Polywhaler and wanted to share where it's at.

It's a dashboard that tracks every $10k+ trade on Polymarket in real-time, helping you see what smart money is doing - and why.

Some of the features:

• Whale Tracker - Live feed of every large trade on Polymarket, filtered to remove noise
• Insider Risk Scoring - Flags trades that look like someone might know something before it happens
• The Prophet - Daily newspaper predicting outcomes based on where traders are putting their money
• Black Swan Radar - Tracks tail-risk geopolitical events and their live probabilities
• Deep Trade Terminal - Connect your wallet and trade directly from Polywhaler with whale signals alongside your trades
• Discord & Telegram Alerts - Get notified in real-time when whales make moves that match your filters
• Crypto Price Predictions - Experimental price predictions based on Polymarket trading activity

Would love any feedback, especially on UX or features you'd want to see.

So one day ago I was on [r/LocalLLaMA](r/LocalLLaMA) just scrolling and I saw a post that caught my attention: it was a fork of autoresearch made by a guy named Jlippp and this fork literally lets you run autoresearch on any NVIDIA GPU instead of buying a damn 30k dollars H100. It also has a GUI and you can test the model preview immediately on the app, plus some other stuff.

So I wanted to test it myself. I grabbed my old PC with 16GB DDR3, an i7-4790 and a GTX 980, opened it, and ran the app for three hours straight with an AI agent. At the end I got a ~90M parameter model that wasn’t hallucinating too much for such low specs, and I could export the model (kinda useless not gonna lie since it’s a .pth export and I don’t really have a way to use it, maybe that’s just me).

So my final review is that it’s really good for a project that just started.

If y’all want the link of the guy’s post or the GitHub, here it is:

Working with a logistics company right now, 55 locations. They wanted Google reviews automated across all of them.

Sounds simple. It really did.

First version I had running in like a day and a half. Delivery happens, webhook fires, customer gets a text asking for a review. Done right?

Wrong.

Turns out their drivers were marking deliveries as "completed" sometimes before actually dropping the package. So we were hitting customers with review requests while the box was still on the truck. That went over well.

Then there's the whole thing where each location has its own Google Business Profile or they're supposed to anyway. Three of them didn't. Two had duplicate listings nobody knew about.

And the ops director wanted a dashboard so he could see which locations were getting dragged down in ratings vs which ones were just low volume. Fair ask. Took longer than the whole automation combined.

We're running it in n8n, pulling delivery status from their TMS via webhooks, routing based on actual confirmed codes not just "delivered," and dumping location-level data into Airtable for the team.

The code part? Easy. The part where you're on calls trying to understand why Fresno has two Google listings and nobody knows who made the second one? That's the job.

Anyone else building this stuff for multi-location businesses? Curious what weird edge cases you've run into because I feel like every client has at least one thing that makes zero sense until you're three hours deep.

Built an automation that handles my entire job application process — sharing it here

Tired of manually applying to jobs so I built this n8n workflow:

✅ Scrapes LinkedIn jobs daily

✅ AI filters roles that match your resume

✅ Tailors your resume per job automatically

✅ Saves everything to Google Sheets with apply links

Stack: n8n + Apify + Groq (LLaMA 3.3 70B) + Google Docs/Sheets

Runs for free. No code needed. Setup takes ~30 minutes.

My kid hated reading out loud so I built an iOS app where kids read stories to an AI dragon character.

What it does: Kid reads out loud into the mic, speech-to-text transcribes it, then Claude compares what was said vs what was written and scores accuracy, fluency, pacing and clarity. Claude also generates the spoken feedback the dragon gives back to the kid.

How Claude is used specifically:

• Scoring engine - Claude analyzes the transcript against source text and returns structured scores per metric
• Feedback generation - Claude writes age-appropriate responses (encouraging, never corrective) calibrated to the child's age
• Content adaptation - Claude adjusts difficulty and tone based on reading level

What I learned: Getting tone right by age was the hardest part. A 7-year-old who reads "cat" as "cap" needs a completely different response than a 12-year-old struggling with "necessary." I went through dozens of prompt iterations to make feedback feel like a supportive buddy, not a teacher with a red pen.

Still unsolved: Kids with regional accents where upstream speech recognition drops in accuracy before Claude even sees the text. The scoring feels unfair and I haven't found a clean fix. Would appreciate input from anyone who's worked on speech-to-text for children or non-native speakers.

The app is called Readigo, free to try with a 7-day trial on iOS.

https://apps.apple.com/ua/app/readigo-ai-reading-buddy/id6759252901

Made this workflow since I was losing a lot of leads for cold email, since AnyMail Finder could not find decision-maker emails for like 40% of the leads I scraped. Ideally, I would want an owner's name and their email to send.

The old system would just pull a list of qualified leads from a Google Sheet, then for each lead try to find the decision‑maker’s email using anymail finder.

Now, if that fails, it crawls the company’s website to extract any email address using a crawler I made with Claude code or using a webcrawler Apify actor which I also built with Claude code. It then verifies the found email with anymail finders email verification tool, and finally uses AI to identify the owner or founder’s name from the same used crawler to get the email.

All the discovered information is written back to the same Google Sheet where I now would have updated leads with emails found from the website and the owner's name. So now while yes, it's a generic company website email with the owner's name, I can still use these as leads for cold email at scale.

would now
Any tips to improve it would be appreciated!

I’ve been using Claude, ChatGPT and all others for about 3 years - work, personal stuff, everything.

[Below is with Opus 4.6 extended thinking. Unsure if 4.5 or Sonnet would behave differently].

About 6 months ago I added a line to my custom instructions about having ADHD, and it changed how useful the tool was in terms of subtle pressure to help me with time blindness and procrastination. I thought I’d written something concise and specific enough, but today I realized it needed tweaking. (Anecdotal: Claude models were much better than ChatGPT at implementing this in a strategically compelling, subtle way).

First custom instruction

“I have ADHD: Prioritize time pressure over comfort. Don’t sugar coat - I need direct pressure signals when I show any indication of delaying or might delay. Subtle pressure doesn’t work - I need it explicit.”

This worked at first. When I was litigating the LLM on a decision I’d already made, it would cut through the noise and tell me to do the thing. No annoying agreeable attitude or “That’s an excellent idea” after a decision had been made, just direct pressure: “Stop going round in circles, get what we decided done because litigating this with me isn’t fixing the actual problem.”

When it broke

I was asking about a networking setup - whether to ship a device internationally that I’d already setup, or buy a new one and set it up from scratch again.

Claude had no chill and told me I was “anchoring on sunk cost.” Claimed the setup would take “30 minutes” when it actually took me 2 days. Basically told me to stop thinking and just buy a new one right now.

This genuinely wasn’t ADHD procrastination. I had a working solution, just in another country that would take a week to arrive (and it wasn’t essential right this moment). I hadn’t even floated the idea of buying a new one locally.

I pushed back, and (obviously) it agreed with me. Said “I read your situation as procrastination. But you weren’t. The setup cost was real - 2 days, not 30 minutes like I claimed.”

The wording “any indication of delaying or might delay” was way too broad. Weighing two legitimate options might look like delaying if the LLM has been told to watch for it.

Second iteration

The LLM rewrote it itself:

“I have ADHD: Prioritize time pressure over comfort. Don’t sugar coat - I need direct pressure signals when I’m avoiding action, going in circles, or revisiting a decision I’ve already made. Subtle pressure doesn’t work - I need it explicit. But if I’m actively weighing a tradeoff or have a working system, respect the decision-making process - don’t bulldoze me into action for action’s sake.”

Key distinction: “I’m ADHD-level stuck” vs. “We’re thinking this through.” The original treated both the same.

How this might help you

The time pressure addition has been genuinely useful. But it needs to know the difference between:

• Me asking it to edit an email improving it 0.2% 10 times = pressure me
• Me revisiting a decision with no new groundbreaking information = pressure me
• Us actively weighing two reasonable options = Chill. I need you to work through it with me

Without that second half, the LLM treats every slight pause as “procrastination”.

Took me a few months to find this edge case. Hope this is useful to someone.

New paper studying the internal mechanisms of political censorship in Chinese-origin LLMs: https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.18280

Findings relevant to this community:

On Qwen/Alibaba - the generational shift: Across Qwen2.5-7B → Qwen3-8B → Qwen3.5-4B → Qwen3.5-9B, hard refusal went from 6.2% to 25% to 0% to 0%. But steering (CCP narrative framing) rose from 4.33/5 to 5.00/5 over the same period. The newest Qwen models don't refuse - they answer everything in maximally steered language. Any evaluation that counts refusals would conclude Qwen3.5 is less censored. It isn't.

On Qwen3-8B - the confabulation problem: When you surgically remove the political-sensitivity direction, Qwen3-8B doesn't give factual answers. It substitutes Pearl Harbor for Tiananmen and Waterloo for the Hundred Flowers campaign. 72% confabulation rate. Its architecture entangles factual knowledge with the censorship mechanism. Safety-direction ablation on the same model produces 0% wrong events, so it's specific to how Qwen encoded political concepts.

On GLM, DeepSeek, Phi - clean ablation: Same procedure on these three models produces accurate factual output. Zero wrong-event confabulations. Remove the censorship direction and the model simply answers the question.

On Yi - detection without routing: Yi-1.5-9B detects political content at every layer (probes work) but never refuses (0% English, 6.2% Chinese) and shows no steering. It recognized the sensitivity and did nothing with it. Post-training never installed a routing policy for political content. This is direct evidence that concept detection and behavioral routing are independently learned.

On cross-model transfer: Qwen3-8B's political direction applied to GLM-4-9B: cosine 0.004. Completely meaningless. Different labs built completely different geometry. There's no universal "uncensor" direction.

On the 46-model screen: Only 4 models showed strong CCP-specific discrimination at n=32 prompts (Baidu ERNIE, Qwen3-8B, Amazon Nova, Meituan). All Western frontier models: zero. An initial n=8 screen was misleading - Moonshot Kimi-K2 dropped from +88pp to +9pp, DeepSeek v3-0324 from +75pp to -3pp, MiniMax from +61pp to 0pp. Small-sample behavioral claims are fragile.

Happy to answer questions.

Hi there, totally new here, and very new to this LLM stuffs

Currently looking for a local LLM that I can train with my radiology templates and styles of reporting, since it's getting tedious lately (i.e I already know all the key points with the cases, but found it really exhausting to pour it into my style of reporting)

Yes, structured reporting is recommended by the radiology community, and actually faster and less taxing with typing. But it's really different in my country, in which structured reporting is deemed "lazy" or incomplete. In short, my country's doctors and patients prefer radiology reports that is full of.....fillers.....

To top it off, hospitals now went corpo mode, and wanted those reports as soon as possible, as full of fillers as possible, and as complete as possible. With structured reporting, I can report easily, but not in this case

Hence I'm looking for a local LLM to experiment with, that can "study" my radiology templates and style of reporting, accept my structured reporting input, and churn a filler-filled radiology report....

Specs wise, my current home PC runs an RTX 4080 with 32gb of DDR4 RAM

Thank you for the help

I'm thinking of pursuing Certification program in Claude but as an ETL Developer who's now working as Data Engineer I want to know and gain some clarity on this that which course under Claude academic program would be suitable? Be it free or paid course.
Which Certification should I pursue to enter in this field of AI/Gen AI to get a job in it?

Hey r/SideProject — we're a small team that got tired of the coupon/deal space being full of expired codes and clickbait, so we built something to fix it.

The problem we kept running into:

Every coupon site we used had the same issue — you'd find a "verified" code, try it at checkout, and it wouldn't work. We started tracking this and found that on most major coupon sites, 60-70% of listed codes are expired or broken at any given time. That's... not great.

What we built:

CouponPicked aggregates coupons and deals across 50+ retailers, but the key difference is we actually verify codes work before surfacing them. We also track price history so you can see if that "40% off sale" is actually a deal or if the item was cheaper last month at full price.

Some things we learned building this:

• The coupon industry is wild. Most sites earn revenue from affiliate links regardless of whether the code works. There's zero incentive to clean up dead codes. We decided early on that if a code doesn't work, it shouldn't be shown.

• Price tracking reveals uncomfortable truths. We've seen retailers mark items up 20-30% the week before a "sale" then discount them back to the original price. Once you see the data, you can't unsee it.

• Amazon prices are way more volatile than people think. We've tracked items that swing 15-20% in a single week with no sale event. The "price" is more of a suggestion.

• Most people overpay on subscriptions and recurring purchases. We found that calling providers (internet, insurance, etc.) saves the average person $40-60/month. Not glamorous, but the math is hard to argue with.

Tech stack (for the nerds):

Built on Node.js with a Go backend for the price scraping/verification pipeline. PostgreSQL for the price history data. The verification system runs headless browser checks against retailer checkouts to confirm codes actually apply a discount before we list them.

Where we're at:

Still early. Small team, bootstrapped, no VC funding. We're not trying to be the next Honey — just trying to build something that doesn't waste people's time with dead codes.

Would love feedback from this community. What would make a tool like this actually useful to you? What do existing coupon sites get wrong?

Site: couponpicked.com

The problem

I use Claude for analysis, ChatGPT for writing, Cursor for coding. Each one builds a different picture of who I am — my stack, my style, my preferences. None of them share it. When I switch tools, I start from zero.

Platform memories are black boxes. You can't version them, audit them, or export them. And that's by design — it's lock-in.

What I built

aura is an open-source CLI that scans your machine, builds your AI identity automatically, and serves it to every tool via MCP.

pip install aura-ctx

aura scan # auto-detects your stack, tools, projects

aura serve # starts MCP server on localhost:3847

That's it. Open Claude Desktop, ChatGPT (Developer Mode), Cursor, or Gemini CLI. They read your context automatically. No copy-paste. No re-explaining.

How it works

aura creates "context packs" — scoped YAML files that describe who you are in a specific domain (developer, writer, work). You control what's in them. The AI never writes to your packs without your explicit action.

aura scan detects your languages, frameworks, tools, editor, projects, and git identity from your machine. aura onboard asks 5 questions to capture your style and rules. aura doctor checks your packs for bloat and stale facts. aura consolidate merges duplicates across packs. aura decay removes expired facts based on type-aware TTL.

The MCP server exposes your packs as resources and tools that any MCP-compatible client can query.

Security

- Binds to localhost only

- Optional token auth: aura serve --token

- Scoped serving: aura serve --packs developer

- Read-only mode: aura serve --read-only

- No cloud. No telemetry. YAML files on your machine.

What it's NOT

This is not another memory layer for agent developers (Mem0, Zep, Letta solve that). aura is for the end user who wants to own and control their AI identity across tools. No Docker. No Postgres. No Redis. Just pip install and go.

Happy to answer any questions.

Repo

I am new to Claude. Got the app on my phone and I seem to be able to use it for free unlimited. When I go to Claude on my laptop and log in, it immediately wants me to upgrade. That's fine--I want to upgrade--but I'm concerned that the two access points don't seem to be syncing up. Before I buy I want to make sure I can use Claude on both. Any thoughts?

Since n8n is browser-based, an AI agent with computer use (like Claude or OpenClaw) could literally:

1. Open your n8n instance in a browser
   
2. Read your prompt ("send me a Telegram message every morning with top news")
   
3. Drag, drop, and configure the nodes visually — just like a human would
   
4. Hit execute No API calls to n8n. No JSON editing. No coding.
   

The AI just uses the UI the same way you do.
Real example flow: User types: "Every day at 9am, get top 3 Hacker News posts and send to my Telegram" AI opens browser → goes to n8n → adds Schedule Trigger → adds HTTP Request node → adds Telegram node → configures each one → activates workflow. Done. Zero human clicks.

Questions for the community:
- Would you actually use this?
- Would you trust an AI to build workflows on your n8n instance? Because it is not stable as ai model self create n8n workflows and execute, but we can visualise from browser

I've been building OpenObscure — an open-source, on-device privacy firewall for AI agents that sits between your AI agent and the LLM provider developed with Claude AI assistant.

The problem with [REDACTED]

Most tools redact PII by replacing it with a placeholder. This works for compliance theater but breaks the LLM: it can't reason about the structure of a credit card number or SSN it can't see. You get garbled outputs or your agent has to work around the gaps.

What OpenObscure does instead

It uses FF1 Format-Preserving Encryption (AES-256) to encrypt PII values before the request leaves your device. The LLM receives a realistic-looking ciphertext — same format, fake values. On the response side, values are automatically decrypted before your agent sees them. One-line integration: change `base_url` to the local proxy.

What's in the box

- PII detection: regex + CRF + TinyBERT NER ensemble, 99.7% recall, 15+ types

- FF1/AES-256 FPE — key in OS keychain, nothing transmitted

- Cognitive firewall: scans every LLM response for persuasion techniques across 7 categories (250-phrase dict + TinyBERT cascade) — aligns with EU AI Act Article 5 requirements on prohibited manipulation

- Image pipeline: face redaction (SCRFD + BlazeFace), OCR text scrubbing, NSFW filter

- Voice: keyword spotting in transcripts for PII trigger phrases

- Rust core, runs as Gateway sidecar (macOS/Linux/Windows) or embedded in iOS/Android via UniFFI Swift/Kotlin bindings

- Auto hardware tier detection (Full/Standard/Lite) depending on device capabilities

MIT / Apache-2.0. No telemetry. No cloud dependency.

I built a Go SDK that uses Claude for two things:

1. Judge non-deterministic output in tests

s.Assert(t, agentOutput). Expect("produces valid Go code"). Expect("handles errors idiomatically"). Run() 

Write expectations in plain English. Failures give you structured feedback — what passed, what failed, why, with evidence and confidence scores.

2. Extract typed structs from unstructured text

var m MountError s.Extract("device /dev/sdf already mounted with vol-0abc123", &m).Run() fmt.Println(m.Device) // "/dev/sdf" 

Define a struct, pass a pointer. Schema is generated via reflection, enforced server-side through Claude's forced tool_use. Not just for tests — works for log parsing, support tickets, API normalization.

Also includes: Eval for programmatic results, Compare for A/B testing, batching (50% cost savings), Evaluator/Extractor interfaces for mocking, 135+ tests.

Built the whole thing with Claude Code — from initial design through implementation, tests, and docs.

Would love feedback on the API design and what would make this useful for your workflows.

Had a fantastically productive weekend using Claude Code. Got a bunch of stuff completed. I maintain a project log, a strict design document, and phased implementation plans, everything needed to quickly regain context. Then I shut off my PC and went to sleep. Today as I launch my terminal after my day job and tell Claude to re-familiarize itself with the project and begin stage 0 phase 7 according to the plan doc, it then burned through the -entire- session token limit without even writing a single line of code. Now I'm sitting here with nothing to show for the day as I'll have to go to sleep before my limit resets.

How am I supposed to work on large projects this way? Leave my PC running as to not lose context? Need some pointers for this.

For reference, I'm on the pro subscription. Can't afford endless tokens, sadly.

Was trying to build a new scraper WF but didnt find the Apify node anymore? anyone got an idea why its not there anymore? the nodes are still there for older workflows but cant edit it anymore

So I've an inter-class Agentic AI competition coming up on 27th this month , I can build agents very well , but what do you guys think is an idea that will differentiate me from the rest? All opinions are appreciated! Thanks

For the past few years I’ve been doing SEO on and off, and one thing kept bothering me:

most “programmatic SEO” pages just feel… empty

they technically target keywords,
but don’t really feel useful or something you’d be proud to publish

So I started building a small internal tool for myself with a different approach:

- focus on long-tail queries with clear intent
- structure pages first (not just generate text)
- make them actually readable and worth publishing

Still very early, but after testing it on a couple of small sites I noticed:

- even low-authority sites can start getting impressions
- structure matters more than just “more content”
- most sites have way more SEO opportunities than they think

Now I’m trying to validate this further on real projects

If you want, drop your site below - I’ll generate ~15 programmatic SEO pages for you for free

No catch, I just want to understand:

- do these pages feel actually useful?
- would you publish them?
- what’s missing?

Would really appreciate honest feedback 🤝

I'd like to know which AI is best to help me with programming
I do general things like web development, Python/C programs, etc. I'm new to the world of LMS, so I have no idea which AI to download

Tired of mousing over YouTube buttons? I was too. So I made YTKeys—a lightweight Chrome extension that turns your keyboard into a YouTube superpower.

One-key magic:

• L → Like / Unlike (toggles smartly)
• K → Sub / Unsub (one key, no hunting)
• S → Share instantly
• C → Open comments section
• / → Jump to search bar

No bloat, no ads, no permissions creep. Just pure speed for binge-watchers, creators, and researchers who live on YT. Works flawlessly on watch pages, even with dynamic loads.

Why it's better than native YT shortcuts:

• Covers the missing gaps (unsub toggle, instant search)
• No conflicts with video controls
• Dead simple—no setup needed

While I understand that there is a scene feature that can be used to set ambiances.
And since I don't really like presets I did not want to set 60 scenes manually to then shuffle on them and randomly select one.

This is why I took some time to create 2 blueprints that I think the community will appreciate!

1: A customizable smart 'Randomizer', that offers a configurable 'buffer' value in order to avoid setting a light to a color similar to the one already present.
Import it directly with this link!
Or Peruse its code!

Both 'Area' and the 'Light'(s) can be used concurrently when calling the script

2: A similar script, that also excludes a color range. This is great per instance if you only want warm colors to be generated. You will need to set up to two 'wanted' color range, and any color outside this will be ignored.

The buffer can also be determined with this one!

This one can be imported here!
And its code is accessible here.

These can also be used with an automation in order to loop call them, and transition from 'random' color to color! I can turn those automations into blueprints if they interest someone!

Many developers are building highly complex AI Agent programmes or systems; even a beginner like me needs to invest a great deal of time and effort to get an AI Agent up and running.

When I came across Animoca Minds, all I needed was an email address and a Telegram account, and hey presto, my AI Agent was ready to take commands.

This isn’t just any ordinary Agent; it’s a groundbreaking innovation where Animoca Brands has built an AI system for Agent AI that requires only your thoughts—no coding language or renting a VPS for memory storage is needed.

All tasks can be easily handled by the Agent AI we have; simply sign up via email and link your Telegram account, and it’s all free of charge.

If you’re interested, we can discuss it further, and I’ll include a link for you to explore in more detail.

Lately I’ve been noticing something:

With tools like Cursor and Claude Code generating more code, it’s becoming easier to build things—but harder to actually understand how everything connects.

I ran into this myself.

The code worked, but I didn’t have a clear mental model of:

• what depends on what
• how changes propagate
• or where most of the logic actually lives

This becomes even more obvious when:

• you come back to your own project after a while
• or when someone new joins the team and has to understand the codebase

So I started building a tool that maps a React/Next.js codebase into a graph.

One thing that surprised me while testing:
Changing a small piece of logic (like a hook) ended up affecting multiple parts of the app indirectly—and that wasn’t obvious from just search or TypeScript.

Another interesting part is summaries:
Instead of sending full files, it uses graph context, so token usage stays relatively low even for larger projects, while still generating useful business + technical summaries.

It’s still early, but it’s been really helpful for:

• understanding dependencies
• reasoning about impact of changes
• and quickly getting context in unfamiliar codebases

Would love feedback if this sounds useful or if you’ve faced something similar.

I forgot all the birthdays of people who aren't my closest friends and family.

The calendar felt too heavy for managing birthdays and didn't give me a nice list of the

people that matter most.

So, a few years ago, I build my own tool and it has worked surprisingly well.

Recently, I decided to make it generic and put it online:

www.bday24.com

The simple idea:

A list of the people that matter most with their birthdays, reminders and nothing more.

I ran some Google Ads and got my first 10 users.

Curious how others remember birthdays.

How do you do it?

"CarScene" is coming to app stores Friday, April 10th.

This app has 1500 cars and has a dream garage addition.

Not to mention, this is also a car spotting app with rough vehicle valuations.

If you'd like to join, there are 3 steps!

1. Press "Join group" at https://groups.google.com/g/carscene-testing
2. Press "Become a tester" at https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.carscene.app
3. Press "Install the public version on google play" at the bottom of the screen.

If you did this, thank you so much. Let me know if there's something I can do for you.

PS: Pressing the "Unlock Unlimited Garages - 2.99" will actually charge you.

For the past 3 months, I’ve been obsessed with one question:

Why do people use 10+ AI tools… but still struggle to get real results?

So I started digging.

I analyzed: - how people search for AI tools - how they use prompts - how they combine tools (or don’t) - and why most workflows fail

Here’s what I realized:

1. People don’t need more tools
   They need the right combination of tools

2. Prompts alone don’t solve anything
   Without a workflow, they’re just random inputs

3. Most “AI productivity” content is misleading
   It shows tools… not systems

4. The real problem isn’t AI
   It’s decision overload

You open ChatGPT, Claude, Midjourney, Notion AI… and then what?

No structure
No system
No outcome

So I built something for myself:

A way to go from: 👉 goal → tools → prompts → workflow

Instead of guessing every time

Not trying to promote anything here — just sharing the insight because it changed how I use AI completely.

Curious:

How do YOU actually use AI today?

• Random prompts?
• Fixed tools?
• Real workflows?

I feel like most people are still in the “trial & error” phase.

I’ve been running a long-lived agent for a few weeks and noticed something weird. At the beginning, adding memory made everything better, fewer repeated mistakes, more continuity, felt actually useful. But over time it started getting worse in a subtle way. It kept bringing up things that used to be true but weren’t anymore, or repeating patterns that had already failed. Nothing was broken, it was just being too consistent with outdated context. It made me realize most setups are good at remembering but not great at letting go or updating what actually matters. Has anyone else run into this once their agents ran longer than a demo?

so ive installed comfyui portable and i also have a copy of it on another drive( if i need to delete the orig one i have a back up). but what if im installing some stuff on comfyui like a image2vid, text2speech and then a image2image edit then i realise i dont like say the image2image one ive installed...........whats the best way to go about deleting it?

thanks

Hey, r/SideProject, I noticed cricket analysts & creators spend 30-40 minutes per match manually cross-referencing stats. I spent the last few weeks building CricDeck to automate that entire workflow.

The Pipeline:

• The Data: Seeded the DB with 21,253 matches and 10,889,170 deliveries from Cricsheet.
• The Engine: Pre-computed aggregates to build the right stats for the right matches. No AI bias—just pure, verified numbers.
• Live Bridge: Currently integrating a bridge to 3rd party API for live polling to mix historical context with live match states.

Core Features:

• Flip/See the Numbers: Flip the stats cards to see exactly how the numbers were derived, with detailed sample sizes and confidence tags.
• The Export: Uses html2canvas to generate 1080x1350 PNGs for Instagram/Twitter.
• The Narrative: Feed selected insights to a template-driven AI to get a full-fledged script. Zero hallucination because the output is 100% grounded in the card data.

Behind the Scenes:

• Frontend: Next.js, Redux Toolkit (RTK), Tailwind CSS.
• Backend & Infra: Node.js, Redis, PostgreSQL, Go, and Docker.

If you're hiring use this thread.

Include:

1. Company Name
2. Role Name
3. Full Time/Part Time/Contract
4. Role Description
5. Salary Range

Idk if this is the right place to ask but my company is wanting me to do a call campaign to at least 2.500 clients.

All we are asking if two questions:

1. What garbage containers do you have on site? (usual answer is 1 waste and 1 recycling)

2. And do they have lock bars on them?

That's it.

I figure this could be done much more efficiently with an Ai agent calling rather than me but I can't find one that sounds natural enough/good enough quality for this.

Any suggestions?
