In the age of AI, SaaS is over; now RaaS has arrived. Relationship as a Service

@rcarmo @aliceisplaying @badlogicgames Alright, I asked about it for you since I tried to run Piclaw (Docker) with WhatsApp about a week ago, but I wasn’t successful.

@tgmarinho @aliceisplaying @badlogicgames I used it with WhatsApp for two days, then I realized that the web UI was an order of magnitude better and kept improving it to the point where I see no point in using it with any messaging app myself. But I’d like someone to add more IM integrations because I know people care

People of Pi, github.com/rcarmo/piclaw/… just escaped again, with more bug fixes courtesy of @aliceisplaying and bumping up to @badlogicgames' latest core release (the good one, after midnight).

@badlogicgames @rcarmo @aliceisplaying Yeah, I agree. But unfortunately, WhatsApp (especially here in Brazil) is the main interface for most users. They’re not very tech-oriented, and no one really wants to switch to another tool, website, or mobile app.

@rcarmo @tgmarinho @aliceisplaying personally think a bespoke powerful web app is >>>>>> any messaging app integration you could ever dream up.

@al3rez @badlogicgames To make it default in your ~/.pi/agent/settings.json, change to: { "defaultProvider": "openai", "defaultModel": "gpt-4o" } (keep the other existing fields in the file) Helpful tip See available models in your environment: `pi --list-models openai`

@al3rez @badlogicgames Step by step (OpenAI + GPT-4) Set your key in the shell: export OPENAI_API_KEY="your_key_here" Quick test without changing global config: `pi --provider openai --model gpt-4o -p "reply: ok"`

People of pi. RFC. Already did so on Discord. Seems like pretty much everyone is OK with that. Happy to answer questions.

@al3rez @badlogicgames If you want to try gpt-4 specifically: `pi --provider openai --model gpt-4 -p "reply: ok"` If you get a “model unavailable” error, use gpt-4o (or gpt-4.1, if enabled on your account).

@ContextoIA @giovannibassi monopólio é complicado, tipo igual insta e whatsapp

@giovannibassi Real que isso mostra a fragilidade de depender de um player só. Mas honestamente? Quem tá usando IA em produção já diversifica entre APIs (Claude, GPT, Gemini). O problema mesmo é quando você bota tudo no Assistants da OpenAI e não tem plano B.

Cadê a galera que correu chorando pros braços da OpenAI quando a Anthropic quebrou o brinquedo? Vão correr pros braços de quem agora? Da Microsoft? Ou de alguma chinesa (isso seria engraçado)?

@jgcmarins @woovibr @rafaturk @sseraphini @ThiagoMot_ Opus 4.6 handled it, but I didn’t like the results. lol

@tgmarinho @woovibr @rafaturk @sseraphini @ThiagoMot_ That’s actually a great suggestion. Feel free to open a RFC issue. Thanks.

Já sofreu codando um fluxo de KYC? Formulário gigante, upload de documento, dados de sócio, endereço... Inspirado na simplicidade da API de registro de contas da @woovibr , lancei o woovi-kyc: wizard React open-source de onboarding de empresa 🧵 @rafaturk @sseraphini @ThiagoMot_

@ViUmaVaga puts, pensei nisso hj... tenso.

A maior ironia de tech: a galera constrói produto pra otimizar a vida dos outros e não consegue otimizar a própria. Agenda caótica, saúde zuada, alimentação péssima, zero exercício, sono destruído. A gente automatiza o mundo e esquece de automatizar o básico: cuidar de si mesmo.

I won the battle with VPS + Dokploy + Docker + T3Stack App + MongoDB. More effort will be needed going forward, but I’m happy with the results so far. That said, I wouldn’t recommend this setup for larger apps yet, at least not until I’m more confident handling that scale.

Yeah folks, it's gonna be harder in the future to ensure OpenClaw still works with Anthropic models.

Mas é bem chato mesmo, vc se ralar em uma faculdade, pós, sofrer escrevendo algoritmo em cadernos, notepad, sublime, eclipse, netbeans, jetbrains, vscode pra aprender e agora vc só usa cursor, cli rsrs

Agora com IA melhorou, porque ainda continuo construindo ou resolvendo problemas e usando algo que é muito melhor do que eu em codificação, IA. Ficaria em "crise" se eu não conseguisse construir soluções ou fazer parte delas para ajudar algum negócio, comunidade, etc.

Minha identidade nunca foi atrelada ao fato de escrever o código, mas à de construir coisas que agregam na vida das pessoas. Não fui muito adepto às ferramentas NoCode porque eu gostava de ter o mínimo de controle das coisas, ou seja, saber o que estava acontecendo por baixo.

Been building PDF reader. Thanks to @badlogicgames Pi RPC mode @DanielGri Glimpse + PDFium - chat with the paper - annotate and ask about it instantly - keep multiple sessions per paper - /fork a thread and /resume it later Research with branching context instead of one long chat. Since its AI slop - testing and understanding the code is the goal next Demo

@leetllm @natemcgrady This becomes a problem if you lack clarity and depend on guided tools like Claude Code. PI is minimal - add only what you need.

@natemcgrady Claude Code with Sonnet 4.6 is still undefeated for me. The real unlock is building up reusable skills in your user folder so it actually learns your domain and style.

opencode is so much better than claude code like it's not even close

@leetllm @natemcgrady Where pi.dev really shines is its flexibility—you can configure it both globally and per project. Use global settings for your main skills and extensions, and project settings for more specific configurations
