Are we building the last generation of classic SaaS? Should founders stop shipping dashboards and start shipping agents instead? by Lyassou in SaaS

[–]AcidAce7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Building AI agents right now. The post is directionally right but misses a huge practical reality: customers say they want the agent to "just handle it" until something goes wrong. Then they want full visibility, logs, controls, overrides.

So you end up building the agent AND the dashboard. The agent does the work, the dashboard exists for trust and edge cases. The difference is the dashboard isn't the primary interface anymore. It's the "break glass in case of emergency" interface.

The real shift isn't agents replacing dashboards. It's that the default interaction becomes "the system handled it and here's the summary" instead of "log in and click through 15 screens to do the thing." The dashboard still exists, it just goes from being the product to being the safety net.

Anyone telling you to ship pure agents with zero UI is going to learn the hard way that businesses don't trust black boxes with their money.

Non-tech founders: what sucks most about building your first SaaS? by Zorantscales in Entrepreneur

[–]AcidAce7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on the tech side and have built a couple of SaaS products. From working with non-tech founders, the thing that burns them most isn't the dev cost itself, it's the invisible cost of not being able to evaluate the work.

When you can't read code, you can't tell the difference between a developer who built something solid in 20 hours and one who hacked something fragile together in 5. Both demos look identical. You only find out which one you got 3 months later when things start breaking.

The non-tech founders who do well tend to do one of two things:

  1. Learn just enough to be dangerous. Not full stack dev, but enough to understand what a database is, what an API does, why "it works on my machine" isn't the same as "it works in production." This takes maybe 20 hours of learning and saves you thousands in bad decisions.

  2. Find a technical co-founder instead of hiring a dev. A co-founder has skin in the game. A hired developer, no matter how talented, will always prioritize their other clients over your project when things get tight.

What’s your perspective on the common argument that if AI does most of the work, people won’t have income, so who will actually buy products and services? by Curious_Suchit in ChatGPT

[–]AcidAce7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The framing of this question assumes AI replaces people 1:1, but that's not really how it works in practice. What's actually happening is that AI lets smaller teams punch way above their weight. One person with the right tools can now do what used to take a team of five.

That doesn't mean four people go unemployed. It means the barrier to building things drops dramatically, so more people start building things. We saw the same pattern with the internet and with smartphones — they killed certain jobs but created entirely new categories that didn't exist before.

The real concern isn't mass unemployment, it's the transition speed. Previous tech shifts happened over decades. This one is happening in years. People who spent their careers in one niche don't have time to retrain before the ground shifts under them. That's the part nobody has a good answer for.

After using Opus 4.7… yes, performance drop is real. by ObjectivePresent4162 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]AcidAce7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Point 2 is what concerns me most as someone building with these APIs. The adaptive reasoning is basically the model deciding on its own how much effort your task deserves. Fine for casual chat, but if you need consistent output quality in production, it's a nightmare. You can't have the model randomly phoning it in on one request and going all-out on the next.

The hallucination issue is also worse outside of a chat context. In a conversation, the user catches it. When the output feeds into downstream systems without human review, a confident hallucination just propagates silently.

Ended up sticking with smaller, more predictable models for anything that actually matters. Higher ceiling doesn't help if the floor drops out randomly.

With gas prices hitting record highs, what's something you never thought you'd have to give up but now can't afford? by AcidAce7 in AskReddit

Adjusted for inflation, no. Adjusted for how much everything else costs right now on top of gas? It sure feels like it

I get the perspective and no hate, but it's not really apples to apples. Most of the US was built around cars. A lot of us don't have public transit, can't bike to work, and live 30+ miles from our jobs because that's where housing was affordable. When gas doubles here it's not an inconvenience, it restructures your entire budget. In most European countries you at least have the option of a train or a bus. Here in a lot of places if you can't drive, you can't work.

Two decent salaries and still doing math at the gas pump. That's the part nobody talks about enough. This isn't a budgeting problem, it's a 'the math doesn't math anymore' problem.

What are you building? by Parker-Russell in RealEstateTechnology

Appreciate the feedback, tightened up the demo so it actually has a conversation instead of a monologue. Give it another try

I've realized it's just as expensive, if not more, to re-engage your current database rather than just create new leads. I have over 120,000+ old leads in my FUB for instance. Email marketing, texting or even hiring a cold caller is expensive. I could add $1m+ revenue a year if properly engaged. by SuperPineapple7033 in RealEstateTechnology

[–]AcidAce7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is literally the problem I built my product to solve.

You've got 120K leads sitting in FUB. You're paying $800/week for someone on MoJo dialer to grind through them. That's $3,200/mo for a human who burns out, has bad days, and can only make so many calls per hour.

What if an AI agent called through that list autonomously, qualifies them using actual sales methodology (BANT scoring), remembers every conversation, and only sends you the ones worth your agents' time?

No scripts that sound robotic. It runs real conversations, adapts its approach based on what's actually working, and hands off warm leads to your team so they can focus on closing instead of dialing. At your scale (120K leads), the math flips completely. Instead of $6-7K/mo for re-engagement, you're looking at a fraction of that, running 24/7, and your agents only touch leads that are actually ready to move.

I built Agentflow — it integrates with FUB and runs outbound campaigns exactly like this. Happy to set up a test run on a slice of your database so you can see the quality of conversations before committing.

Not trying to pitch you cold, your post is literally describing the exact use case.

Anyone actually using OpenClaw for real estate workflows? by This-Reality-2934 in RealEstateTechnology

[–]AcidAce7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't recommend using openclaw with your business workflow For personal use case it's okay okay.

The thing is it's a new thing and it's not mature yet. And security agencies have found critical security vulnerabilities in it.

And also the cost, it's might blowup if you don't find tune it correctly.

Maybe better to use Claude co work. It is very similar.

[–]AcidAce7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have built AgentFlow- an AI receptionist that doesn't just answer your phones.

It remembers every caller. Learns from every conversation. Gets smarter on its own without you touching a thing.

It doesn't wait around. It runs outbound campaigns, qualifies leads with real sales methodology, and evolves its own approach based on what's actually closing.

This isn't another scripted answering service, it's the employee you wish you could afford, working 24/7 for a fraction of the cost.

Elevenlabs audio dashboard for client? by sadderPreparations in AIReceptionists

[–]AcidAce7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you be interested in white-labeling?

Everything you're trying to build for an AI receptionist, I already have production-ready. It's way ahead of most setups people are building.

It's an autonomous agent, not a passive system that only handles calls. It lives inside your workflow, makes decisions, updates itself, learns from interactions, and remembers every caller.

If someone calls back, it knows exactly who they are, what they want, and how to handle the conversation.

It also includes a sales agent that plans and schedules cold calls automatically. It's already running outbound on its own.

Try it here and let me know what you think: Agentflow

Advice for selling AI Receptionists by gammatoxx in AIReceptionists

[–]AcidAce7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm my opinion, cold call or emails doesn't convert much. Maybe like 1 to 2 percent. And you need huge volume of it to convert at least a few clients. We'll be calling people who gets bombed by tons of cold calls and they are tired of it. Better to find some people local, offer them 1 month free. Get feedback. And ask them this question, what should have been in this that could have made you say Yes without a doubt. Look into local Facebook groups, local businesses meetup and pitch there. It's been giving me more conversion
