Introducing setupclaw.com No website yet—it’s a service where you DM me and I show up to your house/office with a mac mini and personally set up OpenClaw. Limited to sf.

@danbeksha this is @mintlify kb

@code_kartik nah my computer keeps crashing time to cloud maxx

Just use caffeinate which is inbuilt in macOS and free to use. I don’t know why are people making anything in the name of ai.

@sperand_io im building this on CF at the moment. i expect vercel, oai, ant, cf, and 20 YC companies to all build it, and for cf to do it best. demand is there for all to win. if anyone is curious, current stack is flue + archil + daytona. either way, ant is the winner here.

If only there were a company with an ungodly infrastructure footprint and the product delivery bandwidth of all of yc combined Oh yea. $NET

@larsencc Larsen 150k isn’t enough to cover a studio and get a haircut + flowers for the gf every two weeks.

Seeing SF comp move in real time is wild. A few weeks ago, inbound was 150-250k base. Now no one names a number below 200k. Top end is 400k + equity. Hiring great people just got harder than ever.

@ivanburazin shhhhh don’t tell them the secrets Ivan

A cloud built specifically for agents is coming. It will have: - web search - sandboxes - databases - storage + all the primitives (purpose-built for agent access patterns). Hopefully, it will be the answer to the unpredictable demand spikes brought on by agents. It'll look more like Stripe than AWS (a consumption API, not a general-purpose cloud) OpenAI wants to build it. Vercel wants to build it. We want to build it. It's the next addition to the stack and one of the biggest prizes in infra rn.

@czypant why?

@michael_chomsky if you used the product for 2 days you can see how much it just fucking sucked

Today I learned Dimension shut down. I’m very sad to see it go. One of the most beautiful products in the space, around longer than most. Incredible brand. Did things few others in the personal assistant space even attempted. The reason was extreme (82%) churn. It’s very hard to get users to stick to these kinds of products. @suptejas I’m excited to see what you ship next. I’ll be the first to try it.

@dominikkoch ah nice

@michael_chomsky Most was emails because it did decent search on who im talking to

@dominikkoch interesting. anything in particular that stood out? how did you find yourself using it

@michael_chomsky Ui was great and easy to use 10% markup be fine too

The Anthropic Frontend design skill had done irreparable damage to the internet.

@ycombinator @manicule @greptile @skyvern @supermemory @NamanBansal0611 @shreyansj Audit!!

Manicule (@manicule) owns docs and developer content for @Greptile, @Skyvern, @Supermemory, and others. Half the cost of a DevRel, twice as fast, written for agents. Comment 'AUDIT' for a free audit of your docs. Congrats on the launch, @NamanBansal0611 and @shreyansj! ycombinator.com/launches/QKr-m…

@dominikkoch that makes sense. would you have stayed if it was priced at like 5% markup? what did you like the most?

@michael_chomsky It was awesome but I churned because of the high price for very few tokens

@adelbucetta nope. it is churn

@michael_chomsky the real issue isn't just high churn, it's that these products often don't know what to do with users who stick around

@stevegraham @teller Teller is just so good man

Ok, enough talking. Introducing Wiretrap: Agentic Mobile App Reverse Engineering. @teller connects to over 7000 financial institutions, providing developers with a single API to integrate against. We connect using private APIs discovered by reverse engineering their mobile apps. This is a huge engineering cost (we have to analyze every app update to check for API changes), and obtaining accounts at those banks to be able to use their apps and map out the API interactions we need for our own API clients is an operational nightmare. Both are major blockers to supporting more institutions, countries, and product types, especially ones that are not practical to obtain at every bank, e.g. student loans and mortgages. Wiretrap solves for both problems. Wiretrap intercepts network requests a mobile app makes and injects symbolic responses that allow an agent to discover the underlying API contract by simply observing what the app does with them. It can override individual values to trigger different flows, allowing agents to completely map out an entire API without a single request hitting the bank. Check out this brief video of an agent using phony credentials to log into Chase (the request is intercepted by Wiretrap and never hits Chase's API) to get to the account dashboard. Note the symbolic value "req_058.response.body.bankingAccountOverviews[0]. businessName" displayed in the app UI, representing the request and key path the value originated from allowing the agent to join what is displayed on screen with what "went over the wire". Everything you see is inferred by observing how the app interacts with Wiretrap's symbolic responses. Another @teller world first :)

@_colemurray exactly. this is the way

background agent systems all follow the same pattern. a control plane coordinating, persisting state & identity and a data plane running the actual agent harness fairly easy system once you're familiar with the architecture

@jaivin very relatable

after coming back from sf i've had a lot of time to think about how my time is spent i've noticed when i was young i was obsessed with systems thinking but sf drilled into me a product mindset and killed that spark you move fast and design for a large audience. i think this make's you dull overtime if you always worry about "efficiency" and start using ai building systems, understanding graphics programming, machine learning, force you to use your brain and obsess over the technical problems. and i realized the best way to operate is from a systems perspective, then do play testing to optimize whatever frontend you have or you've found some systems sweet spot where you have little to no frontend

@dhillonpost um CF is still great for async

@michael_chomsky only holds if you assume agents need edge compute. most agent workloads i've tracked are still batch or async. the cloudflare wedge is real-time conversational, not the majority use case yet.

The more I build with agents the clearer it is that a very significant percentage of the worlds agents will run on Cloudflare.

@rauchg @NotionHQ @NotionDevs

@rauchg Vercel Sandbox and what? AI SDK? or Flue? or something else? Pls @NotionHQ give technical blog

This is so good. Notion's developer platform is built on Vercel Sandbox. You can seamlessly extend Notion natively, or use their MCP to bring Notion to your work. This landing page is also Next-level! notion.com/product/dev
