it's hard, but not THAT hard, to find a few dozen people who can deal with large volumes of support tickets every day. so for a company like anthropic, you'd use a customized claude to triage and then those few dozen people spend all day actually caring about solving users' problems. a contract with fin fka intercom (lol) to offload this is a step in the wrong direction imo, but then nobody pays for support so it's hard to turn it into a revenue stream.

but the only "how" you can add is by connecting your linkedin? is that the only meaning my life is allowed to have? i can't talk about all the cool stuff i do on linkedin, i'd never get a job again.

so raagas are like scales? i thought it was just a type of music where the same songs are played by every artist, like blues, so maybe i don't get this idea at all. but is it about the order of scenes in movies? or like which scenes are "allowed" in a movie of a particular genre? in any case, are you familiar with the Aarne Thompson Uther index?

i am working on an offline weights harness for non-technical people, writers mainly. it's designed to work forever but also be adaptable as more weights get released etc.

it enforces very few paradigms, runs in the browser, and allows users to view and edit agent config files within the UI.

it's kind of a nightmare to try to figure out how to do this appropriately, but it's an interesting challenge and i have seen very few (~0?) projects with an approach like this ...

all the offline harnesses are optimized towards coding, vs. general text manipulation aka "writing."

hoping to publish v0.1.0 by the end of may.

True, though I have found that forcing (I use an agent skill to do this) an LLM's agent to document the reasoning behind each "decision" it makes seems to lead to better decision-making. Or at least, more justifiable decisions (even if the justification is bad).

counterpoint: i am pretty sure i can do everything i want text-wise for the rest of my life with just the skills i make and a reliable harness.

agree the prompting style in OP is a little over the top tho lol

the collective em dash hallucination is so goofy, i hope it is at least fun for the folks plagued with it. the em dash is a normal thing people use, and DEFINITELY a thing that pre-AI grammar checks enforced! i generally use -- when i write (no idea where i got it from); google docs has converted this to — forever. like literally since V1.0, and i don't even think you can turn it off. feels super fun to get bonus points leaving my (totally technically incorrect) --s intact though

i particularly like the idea that "a GTM team" is an organic component of running a business which can be impersonated by a grip of agents, as opposed to a convention that developed as a result of needing to pay a bunch of humans too much money to strategically choose to fuck over customers or sellers in the course of handling each unpredictable product adoption development, lest a poor poor pitiful technostructure be ripped apart by making too little, or too much, money. why don't all these tokenmaxxing people focus on making something BETTER

depending on what exactly "scraper tech" (lol) is, i suspect you may need a different, less opinionated tool to do the work you need to do. that said, i bet if you paid for enterprise, these problems would magically disappear? ;)

how do you define "need?" by my estimation, there are more than 1000 software products in the world, so i do not think 1000 is anywhere near enough.
