Writing about Data & AI applications
We built an AI that:
→ Connects to your inbox and loads invoices, orders, etc.
→ Auto-extracts data from text + attachments
→ Shows everything for human review
→ Exports, after approval, to your CRM, etc.

This saves us so much time.

Built with @vercel.com AI SDK.

There is not a single invoicing app for freelancers out there, offering these things:

- no subscription, just pay per invoice
- beautiful, professional invoices
- just let me time-track and invoice. No bloat

So I built my own. I don't know, is this for someone else too?

Just crazy.
Anyone saying you can vibe-code yourself to a working SaaS is just lying.

Just created this monster. I did not ask for this and used the Opus 4!

AI is an awesome tool, but you are making a fool of yourself if you think you can autonomously AI-code a complete app.

I can't comprehend how the US - undisputed world leader in almost any area - simply threw all that away in less than 100 days, making it necessary for companies to basically distance themselves from the US. 200 years of hard work, thrown away in 100 days.

We successfully bullied Google in creating the best AI model. 😅

Great post by Amos Gyamfi about Multi-Agent application platforms.

The post outlines, what multi-agent systems are, why you want them and then introduces the following tools to help with that:

- Langraph (by LangChain)
- AutoGen
- CrewAI
- Swarm (by OpenAI)
- phidata

The worst thing for a company is, if Managers have too little work on their own plate.
They'll annoy anyone else and reduce overall productivity in a company.

Please stop uncritically sharing "AI" generated bullshit. You're doing so much harm to yourselves and our overarching ability to create and certify knowledge and understanding as a society. I know that sounds hyperbolic, but it's honestly the stakes here. I'm literally begging you.

Friend consults a company in established industry. The comp had no growth in the last 6 yrs. They introduced a new product which is a slight variation of an existing, 10y old one.
A new manager started - predicting 35% total revenue growth yoy each year for the next 5 yrs. What does my friend do?

This is what I'm talking about. If we say we don't want to use bsky data externally - I'm in. Privacy is great. But if we allow it, we can't shitstorm if someone we don't like uses the data according to our own rules.

For completeness & related: Huggingface is much more than CO2 jugging LLMs!
So like what’s the line that we’re drawing collectively here.

We’re cool with a SaaS that tracks unfollows. We’re cool with a SaaS that tracks metrics.

We’re not cool with an individual doing the same type of data collection on the same resources and uploading it to huggingface.
the bluesky team itself keeps repeating at every possible opportunity that everything you post here is public. yes, bluesky pbc. won't use your data for AI. but a lot of other people will! this is a fact! i'd bet a dollar many already do, they're just not posting abt it to prevent being dogpiled

I'm astonished how many people on here literally hate "AI" - as in the technology.
Not LLMs, but AI.
As if almost any of the advancements made in the last 15 years were not assisted by any form of AI...
Sad to see this blind hatred.
