Edit: dismiss my comment.

There are several links to 404 pages in credits section which makes me think this project is a total slop. Hope I'm wrong.

The author just promotes his system competing with the "agents memory".

Thanks for letting us know that it's mainly the surveillance device. The advanced one.

Sure. It's the transcript that is stored, isn't it?

Users will go use Apple. The next round of enshittification is on. As no competition with "open" anymore.

Go and vibe-code your mobile OS. Lol.

> I consider 99% of my "defense of the architecture" strategy to be teaching my team why the architecture is important, how to think about it, and invite they commentary on it as we own and evolve it together.

Nice way to avoid the responsibility for any team fuckup: it's not me, I only teach them, they decide themselves.

> My question is: what's the point of the AI in the search engine if it itself isn't going to use the search engine first before answering?

AI is sold well because the user either corrects it or happily accepts any answer (usually, depending if one is an expert in the question's field).

Search is not the google's area, and it is not the search they sell! They sell ads.

Is it contradicting - does it mean the tariff is "over 100%"?

It's not the incompetency. It's carefully designed pre-IPO story.
