Yikes, I dont think there is anything special about Fin. They claim they have their own model but it appears they are just using OpenAi and Claude as well which is hidden in their docs.

Its an ad for their product. There is nothing special about this approach and probably done the same way by everyone else.

Before AI I would spend multiple days mapping out my database tables and queries while now I ask AI to propose multiple different approaches and I pick the best one. But then on the other hand I’m working on 10 features at the same time and have to carefully look through them. But I can see that I’m totally dependent on the AI now. Creating a full plan by yourself feels like a waste of time, since you know the AI can create the same or better plan in a split second. So when Claude is down, I end up not being productive at all.

OpenAI and Anthropic are killing startups and mature companies left and right. They will always have the cost advantage.

From the store bought orange juices, I think the Trader joes one is the closest to tasting like fresh-squeezed.

I have been testing it in my app all morning, and the results line up with 4.6 Sonnet. This is just a "vibe" feeling with no real testing. I'm glad we have some real competition to the "frontier" models.

Show HN: Auxx.ai – Customer Support CRM (Mix of Attio and N8n)

m4rkuskk — Sun, 19 Apr 2026 21:49:38 +0000

Hey HN! Markus here. I have been building a Customer Support CRM for the last 12 months to help my dad's business.

He was drowning in support messages (dealing with returns, product questions, sales, etc) and didn’t have a good way to organize and attack them, often forgetting to respond.

We tried attio, freshworks, n8n for some automations. I liked n8n a lot but I didn’t want to leave to another app to view messages and customer info. Tried to build bridges via Google Sheets and Airtable and then went deep down the rabbit hole and tried building my own solution.

At that time I hadn’t programmed in 10 years. I stopped pretty much when Backbone.js and underscore became popular and went on to work in commercial concrete, building many of the high rises in San Francisco and Downtown Los Angeles (including the one with lots of graffiti on it).

The goal of the app is to automate as much of customer support as possible, from triage to drafting responses to keeping track of history.

Features include:

- Omnichannel Inbox — Handle email, chat, SMS, and social conversations from one unified inbox.

- Email integrations — Connect Gmail and Outlook to sync conversations both ways.

- Ticketing — Full ticket lifecycle with priorities, statuses, types, and assignment.

- AI-suggested replies — Draft answers generated from conversation context.

- Workflow builder: No-code drag-and-drop automation for tickets, contacts, and messages (you can create your own apps too) - Knowledge Base - Data import — Bulk import historical contacts and tickets.

- Call recordings & transcripts — AI-transcribed and analyzed voice conversations. (Beta)

- AI: Kopilot — Conversational AI assistant that answers questions using your customer data.

- AI providers — Bring your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or other model keys.

The homepage is https://auxx.ai and you can play with a demo here: https://auxx.ai/demo. It's open source. You can find the repo here: https://github.com/Auxx-Ai/auxx-ai. (Stars are appreciated)

What do you mean by "onsite testing"? Wouldn't this be part of the pre-submittal process?

This may work on a small scale, not in most commercial use cases. A typical deck pour (400cy) will pour at 70-80cy/hr. you got 9-10cy/truck. Meaning you have 7 to 8 minutes to back in the truck, empty it into the hopper and leave. You barely have time to add water to the mix. Most high-volume concrete plants are "dry-batch", which means all the ingredients get dumped into the drum and the concrete will get mixed while driving to the project site. Also, changing mixes on the fly will not "fly". No one is going to authorize the adjustment, because what happens when the mix doesn't meet specs... It will need to get chipped out.

They are standardized for a given mix. A mix design that is based on a trial badge is submitted to the SEOR prior to pouring anything. The mix design shows the ratios ingredients (cementitious materials, find and coarse aggregates, water, air, admixtures). But Concrete is still a non-homogeneous material with lots of variations. Take for instance aggregates, if it rained the last two weeks, the moisture content will be higher but it may only be a layer on that pile. Same goes for gradation (particle size of the rock). Sometimes you get a batch with smaller rock. There are a 100 things that can go wrong to get bad mud.

But yeah, there are concrete plants that cut corners and try to save on cement (the most expensive part of the mix), which depending on the project may bite them in the ass when they have to pay to fixing it.

It's linear. The surrounding pressure increases by the following: P=γ*h P=pressure (lb/ft^2) h=height (ft) γ=density (lb/ft^3) water = 62.4lb/ft^3 So if he goes down 33ft, the pressure @33ft will be: Total pressure: 62.4x33 = 2059psf (1atm ≈ 2116.21psf)

I learned English by watching Friends as well. However the thick german accent stayed. It's funny to see how many people in this post have learned english by watching Friends.
