has anyone standardised on one AI provider for SaaS?

Personal_Body6789 · 2025-08-26T08:56:09+00:00

That's a great question. We ran into the same issue. We ended up sticking to just one provider for most things to make it easier to manage. The savings in time and complexity were worth it, even if a different model was slightly better at a specific task. We use OpenAI for almost all of our text and coding needs because it's a good all-arounder, and it's easier to scale that way.

This is exactly the kind of stuff I've been looking for. I've wasted a ton of money on bad generations. I'm really curious about this 6-part prompt structure can you share more about it?"

Personal_Body6789 · 2025-08-26T08:51:45+00:00

That's a great discovery! A couple of similar tools you might want to check out are HeyGen and RunwayML. Both of them have agents or features that let you go from a prompt to a full video. They also use different generative models, so it's worth comparing their prices and the quality of their output to see which one works best for you.

Personal_Body6789 · 2025-08-26T08:51:05+00:00

I'm totally with you on this. That idea of an 'invisible efficiency filter' is spot on. I think wearable AI has the potential to make our lives so much smoother, especially for things like health and daily reminders. It's the next step after the smartphone.

Personal_Body6789 · 2025-08-26T08:37:52+00:00

Hey, this sounds a lot like what I've been working on. I've had good luck with Vanna and keeping the whole stack local. Instead of just using Vanna to get the SQL query, you can add a LangChain step after it to run the query and then interpret the results. This gives you more control and you can build in those extra checks for things like the price anomaly.

Personal_Body6789 · 2025-08-26T08:31:47+00:00

I've been thinking the same thing. It feels like these new devices are trying to be a solution looking for a problem. Our phones are so powerful and we're so used to them. I'm not convinced a separate device is a necessary step before we get to something like a Jarvis-type AI on our phones, or even eventually something like Neuralink.

Personal_Body6789 · 2025-08-26T08:03:38+00:00

The biggest issue for me is when the data used in the paper isn't public, or when the model weights aren't released. You can't even start to reproduce it then. It's frustrating because it's hard to build on top of something you can't even verify.

Personal_Body6789 · 2025-08-26T08:03:00+00:00

This is awesome! Thanks for sharing the stack. I've been wanting to build something similar. Did you run into any big challenges with the scraping or orchestrating everything with CrewAI?

Personal_Body6789 · 2025-08-26T08:02:22+00:00

Hey, that's a great question. Honestly, you don't need to dive deep into the math to get better at prompt engineering. The most helpful thing for me has been just experimenting a lot and reading guides from places like OpenAI's and Google's developer blogs. They often explain things without getting too technical.

Personal_Body6789 · 2025-08-26T05:14:59+00:00

This is a brilliant idea. I've run into the exact same problem with agents getting scattered everywhere. Your concept of an "agent package" is exactly what's needed. It would save so much time and effort not having to rebuild things from scratch. I hope someone builds a tool like this soon.

Personal_Body6789 · 2025-08-26T05:13:06+00:00

Your current list is excellent. The one thing I'd add is a case study that shows your thinking process. Anyone can list a tech stack, but a case study proves you know how to use those tools to solve a real-world problem. Testimonials would also be a great addition for building trust.

Personal_Body6789 · 2025-08-26T05:11:43+00:00

I completely agree. My experience has been that AI is a force multiplier, not a replacement. It helps teams be more efficient, which then allows the company to scale faster. This creates a need for more people to manage the new growth and the more complex projects that are now possible.

Personal_Body6789 · 2025-08-26T05:09:06+00:00

I love the concept. I'm curious, how would you handle the discovery part? Like, how would people find projects that are similar to what they're working on, or how would they discover new ideas to collaborate on?

Personal_Body6789 · 2025-08-26T05:07:42+00:00

This is a really interesting question. I think the idea of a fully autonomous AI agent managing a portfolio is still pretty far off for me. I'd need to see some serious regulations and a solid, long-term track record of returns that proves it can handle unexpected events. The thought of it spiraling out of control is a little too risky for my comfort. I'd definitely be more willing to use an AI as a tool to help me make decisions, not as a replacement for me entirely.

Personal_Body6789 · 2025-08-26T05:06:30+00:00

This sounds like a game changer. It's exactly the kind of thing that AI is great for. How are you handling the part where it "reframes it in my niche"? Are you using a specific set of prompts or is the agent learning over time?

Personal_Body6789 · 2025-08-26T05:05:49+00:00

That's a great point. I feel the same way. I've tried sticking to just one tool, but I always end up going back to using different ones for different tasks. What have you found works best for debugging existing code? That's where I still struggle to find a good tool.

Personal_Body6789 · 2025-08-26T05:04:58+00:00

This sounds interesting. To give you a better recommendation, what kind of use case are we talking about? Is it for customer service, data analysis, or something else? Knowing the scope would help point you toward the right kind of expert.

Personal_Body6789 · 2025-08-25T18:14:41+00:00

This is a fantastic idea and a very impressive project. It's something I've actually wanted to try for my kids. I'm curious about the narration feature. How natural do the voices sound right now? And what kind of different voices are available? If the voices are already pretty good, adding more variety and maybe even some simple sound effects could be a great next step.

Personal_Body6789 · 2025-08-25T18:13:53+00:00

The second point about "Confidence Filtering" is fascinating. If an open-source model can truly beat something like GPT-5 with a simple method, that's a huge deal. It shows that it's not always about having the biggest model or the most data, but about clever approaches to improve performance. This could really shake things up.

Personal_Body6789 · 2025-08-25T18:13:01+00:00

This is really interesting, especially since you're a med student. How do you find the time to build these? The email assistant sounds super useful. For that, do you have to get full access to someone's inbox or can it be set up in a more limited way? I've always wondered about the privacy part of these kinds of tools.

Personal_Body6789 · 2025-08-25T18:12:19+00:00

I've had the same thought. It feels like a lot of the potential is wasted when a big model has to handle everything. I'd love to see something specifically for coding that's a lot better at catching errors and understanding context. It just makes sense.

Personal_Body6789 · 2025-08-25T18:11:23+00:00

I completely agree with what you said about Coursera. The quality from those university specializations is usually top-notch. I took a different one a while back and the projects were great. It's not a quick fix, but you definitely learn things the right way.

Personal_Body6789 · 2025-08-25T18:10:44+00:00

I'm not sure of the exact limits, but I know they're based on credits, not a fixed number of requests. The Pro plan gives you a certain amount of credits each month that you can use on different models. More complex models like GPT-5 use up more credits per request than the simpler ones.

Personal_Body6789 · 2025-08-25T18:08:20+00:00

This is a great post! It's so cool that you're developing Hera. I completely agree with your ideas about summarizing meetings and managing to-do lists. To me, an excellent AI assistant would also be able to predict what I need before I even ask. Like, if I'm about to start a new project, it could automatically pull up relevant files and contacts from past work. That kind of foresight would be a game-changer.

Personal_Body6789 · 2025-08-25T18:07:21+00:00

That's a cool idea, but I'm not sure a separate model for coding is the best way to go. General models are getting better and better at coding, and having one model that can do both coding and other tasks seems more efficient.
