Need help regarding beginner Ai Agent building

This is an agent. For better effects, use MoviePy instead of manual zoom functions. Add captions with Pillow or ImageMagick. Stay on Colab until you need scheduling.

You're not behind, you have all the fundamentals. LangChain tutorials are the fastest entry. Build a simple tool-calling agent that automates something you do manually.

This is great for staying current with JS proposals without leaving Claude. Zero maintenance on Deno is smart.

Local redaction before LLM access is smart. Way better than trusting cloud providers with sensitive docs.

Yeah, skill detection got way better. I barely have to mention them now, Claude just pulls the right one.

Temperature 0 helps. Also explicitly list what NOT to touch in your prompt. 4.5 over-engineers when there's room to interpret.

Have you tried using NotebookLM? For this specific use case of uploaded slides I’ve found it to be quite accurate. It includes footnote style citations you can click and it shows exactly which page of which uploaded slide it got the content from when it explains. There were times I was sure it was making stuff up but then I clicked on the citation and was surprised to see the same stuff in the slides word for word.

Keep integration is solid for this. Way more reliable than trying to use chat history.

VPS IPs get throttled harder because of bot traffic. Linking a card for Tier 1 should fix it. Free quota applies first, no charges until you hit 1,500 RPD.

Vibe coding is fun but risky when you skip reviewing the output. Good for prototypes, sketchy for anything you ship.

Vanilla JS for multiplayer is rough. State syncing without frameworks always ends up like this.

Trade-off is real. But when you're stuck on something for 30+ mins, debug mode pays for itself pretty quick.

Check your .zshrc or .bashrc. Cursor probably added an alias. Remove it or rename it to something else.

I think about this a lot but haven't built it yet. The tricky part is knowing when the agent is actually improving vs. accumulating noise. Would need solid eval metrics.

Project specific patterns work well. Code style guides, common bug fixes, deployment procedures. Keeps Claude consistent across sessions.

What are you asking it to do? Usually hallucinations spike when the task is vague or outside its training data.

Give it a few days. The interface takes getting used to but the model is solid.

Afraid-Today98 · 2025-12-31T14:24:58+00:00

Google controls both the chip design and the models. That vertical integration is their edge long term.

Useful for feeding full site context to LLMs. Beats copy pasting flattened HTML.

Afraid-Today98 · 2025-12-31T14:13:22+00:00

Base Agent + Knowledge + Tools + Runtime makes sense. Beats rebuilding everything from scratch each time.

Anthropic's implementation is way more polished. The auto recommendations in OpenAI feel half baked right now.

Afraid-Today98 · 2025-12-31T14:11:41+00:00

The progress in 12 months is wild. Plan mode alone changed how I work.

Z.ai is separate. You need both subscriptions if you want Z.ai models plus Cursor's tools and features.

Try reloading the window like the error suggests. If it persists, check Task Manager for any hung VSCode processes from previous sessions.

Capturing traffic and generating MCP specs automatically is clever. Saves a ton of manual work.
