Privacy is non-negotiable for Baselings. Your agent lives with you across every page you visit, which means it sees everything. Venice is the only truly private AI infrastructure out there. No logs, no data retention, no compromise. If we're asking users to trust an always-on agent with their browsing, the inference layer has to be trustworthy by default. Venice was the only option that met that bar.
Speed to ship. We're a two-person team moving fast and Vercel with Next.js lets us deploy instantly without thinking about infrastructure. The DX is unmatched. Preview deployments, edge functions, and zero config scaling mean we spend time on product instead of DevOps.
Claude handles complex, multi-step reasoning better than anything else we tested. For Baselings, our always-on AI agents, we needed a model that could hold page context, user context, and social context simultaneously without losing the thread. Claude was the only model that consistently nailed that. We use Claude heavily in development and it powers how we build and iterate on agent behavior.
