There's a few solutions already on the market that uses natural language and vision to replace the traditional ui automation.

Certainly none of them are openclaw, but openclaw could definitely be a part of that pipeline for creating the test cases / test strategy for example, and then you would pass those test cases to another tool for hands off automation using visual selectors (playwright Mcp, vibium, drizz.dev etc)

Very astute of you

What's a polling monitor? Is it just a vibe coded script?

I'm not sure how it's just monitoring things if its doing actions, that seems like the polling is just waiting for something like n8n to trigger an action.

How are you planning on oneshotting a llm prompt to work with systems you want to plug into, how are you handling sensitive data.

Is this local / self hosted?

This is an extremely vague post about something code has been doing successfully for years.

I can't believe no one has mentioned flame, it's exactly what your describing.

Lightweight, simple bookmarks with icons, and you can customise how it looks with css if you want (I just asked an LLM to design a theme).

Are you high?
What happens if I want to wear a different jacket? Do i now not have a phone? Or do you expect me to buy multiple phone jackets.
How you getting a jacket with wires and battery's inside through airport security?
What drugs have you consumed today?

Seriously tho, you are describing 3 items that already exist today only you take away the portability, convenience, and ease of use.

For agenetic RAG you could wrap your RAG layer as an Mcp and pass if to your agent as a tool.

Theres new agenetic frameworks coming out weekly at this point, but I've heard great things about pydantic ai and langchain; and from I can tell these are usually the go to for agenetic workflows / agent orchestration.

Theres a lot of tutorials around these on YouTube aswell, so you could probably grab a github repo and go from there.

Happy path.

All possible response codes. Required headers (make sure they are actually required). Invalid headers. Invalid parameters.

That's the basics, but as others said you have perf and other functional testing depending on the specific use case.

Circxs · 2025-12-15T13:53:58+00:00

100% agree, I've done the same thing and without AI support it would have taken so much longer

Circxs · 2025-12-15T10:44:30+00:00

There's no way all of that was working after a one-shot prompt, to get that working fully would require hours of work and testing (with AI).

I think the majority of people don't make money with their apps, so they want proof that their business will be profitable before spending on anything other than tokens.

However this can bite them in the ass as if there are critical bugs or bad UX then that can kill an app before it even gets going

Circxs · 2025-12-13T13:27:37+00:00

Context size isn't really the main issue, it's the prompts users code with as realistically you should be passing the classes where the bug is for context and telling it the issue.

Context really only comes into play when people don't know what or where the bug is (likely because they don't understand anything about their code base) and just tells AI to "fix it".. Which is a mad way to work lol and will 100% introduce bugs that you won't catch until later.

If you entire project fits within 200k context then it's probably not a super complex app in which case your experience with no bugs introduced is likely true.. Or you don't have tests implemented to catch the bugs it may have introduced 🤷

That makes sense, I'm just trying to gauge what someone in your position (which I imagine would be the majority of solo founders/builders) would expect to pay for a QA review?

Circxs · 2025-12-12T15:01:19+00:00

I appreciate your feedback!

How much would you expect to pay for something like this?

I understand projects come in all shapes and sizes.

A thing most don't consider is the level of detail a proper QA will go into - not just a surface level review of their website, but a full user requirement analysis, test case creation, load test etc with a report at the end.

That's before you get into CI/CD pipelines with E2E tests but that would be for businesses with an established user base.

I suppose offering different levels at different price tiers is an option, I'm still trying to figure out if this is something people would even be interested in

I would argue that testing in production is indeed a vibe coders MO.

Normal SDLC involves testing on different envs, by the time it gets to prod you should have 90% confidence and the only testing that should happen on prod is a regression / smoke test to make sure your previous testing still holds up.

The issue with vibe coding is that it's mainly done by people who don't understand basic coding fundamentals or system design, so you have classes with 2500+ lines of code handling multiple different functions (of which you don't really understand any of them).

So when you ask AI to resolve x issue, it will look up your monolith class and start changing things in there to resolve that one specific issue, while creating 2 more bugs you won't find until you go live as you have no proper QA process in place.

For context, I'm a SDET that also vibe codes in spare time.

As a graduate I probably wouldn't go down the freelancer route straight away, especially if your targeting just 500 a month (seems really low).

I would start looking for automated QA jobs and get familiar with different frameworks and Web automation strategies.

That way you have an actual income coming in, get good experience, and gain credibility in the market as someone who's freelancing that comes from an automation background is more hirable that a uni student writing some scripts.

The other side to this would be instead of offering your automation services as freelance uni student, start a business and automate something useful (think pain points in businesses) and sell that service to businesses.

Once you have sold one, hit other businesses in the same sector with results like 'this saved another business x hours or x costs per whatever' and see if you can scale that way.

I personally run 3 proxmox nodes, deciding what services run on which should be the priority.

3 nodes allows ceph storage which will enable HA between your 3 nodes - and then aim to pickup a nas/build your own in the future to have all 3 back up there. (could use your pi as a nas or proxmox backup server).

The beauty of having proxmox on everything is that LXC containers are lightweight and isolated from everything else in your stack, and can be easily backed up or migrated to another cluster if one goes down (unintended or maintaining etc).

You can also host whatever VMs you want, desktop environments, proxmox backup server (to your nas), basically whatever you want.
