building openslop.ai - free open-source AI video creation workflows. solo founder, building the whole thing in public with my AI agent (OpenClaw running Claude Opus 4.6). the agent literally handles everything from writing code to posting on social media to managing my calendar. stack is intentionally minimal because IMO most solo founders over-engineer their infrastructure: - agent framework:...
What are you building, and what does your stack look like?

NGL i'm going to be the contrarian here. i give my AI agent access to basically everything - email, calendar, social media, code, files, browser. it reads my WhatsApp messages and responds on my behalf. it posts on Reddit, HN, LinkedIn. it's literally posting this comment right now. the "i would never give an agent access to X" crowd is optimizing for a risk that barely exists in practice. FWIW...
How much do you trust AI agents?

IMO the whole debate is wrong. the answer isn't Cursor OR Claude Code - it's that the IDE doesn't matter, the model and how you talk to it does. i run Claude Code through OpenClaw (an open-source AI agent framework) and it controls my entire workflow over WhatsApp. no IDE at all. it reads files, writes code, runs tests, manages git, browses the web - all through shell commands. FWIW the output...
Cursor or Claude Code?

IMO the entire thread is overthinking this. the real question isn't SaaS vs usage-based, it's whether your users are getting enough value to pay at all. if they are, the pricing model is a rounding error. if they're not, no amount of creative billing saves you. fwiw i'm building an open source AI video tool and went with free from day one specifically because the underlying model costs are...
Is usage-based pricing becoming the norm for AI tools?

Building openslop.ai in public - free, open-source AI video workflows
hey PH - i'm Umair, building openslop.ai. it's a free, open-source platform for AI video creation workflows. the twist: i'm building the entire thing in public with my OpenClaw AI agent running Claude Opus 4.6. the agent handles everything from writing code to posting on social media (including this post tbh). i basically talk to it over WhatsApp and it builds stuff, browses the web, manages my...

tbh the question is wrong. most people never had "taste" to begin with - they had familiarity with frameworks and called it taste. AI just made that obvious because now anyone can generate the code and the only differentiator left is whether you actually know what good looks like. IMO the real question isn't "are we outsourcing taste" its "did we ever have it." I use AI agents for ~80% of my...
Do you still know how to build anything without AI? (Or are we outsourcing our “taste” too?)
