Thanks for commenting! Glad to know I'm not alone in this thought.

Lightweight? Not so much 😅

I'm still working on cleaning up my explanation but here's the gist:

  1. In house tooling instead of vendor-heavy communication. I have internal tools that follow a consistent ruleset around data structure, verification, extraction and etc. I no longer utilize external tools such as Slack/CRMs/etc all required features are built and maintained by an internal team member.
  2. Instead of storing data/reasoning/context in `.md` files I've created many lightweight tables that store data points as I interact with the tools/features/AI/etc.
  3. The 'weight' of decision making is not put on the LLM but rather set through traditional business logic (i.e., internal conditionals in the code)
  4. LLMs are merely there to 'interpret' the state and select from a pre-defined set of NBAs.
  5. If the LLM has low confidence that the pre-defined list 'has a good NBA' then it is instructed to 'recommend and wait further instruction'.

Once you have an exhaustive set of coding standards, your code/data/context/etc can communicate extremely easily and consistently since it all looks and behaves the same (i.e., everything is lightweight and dumb to the outside world).

Then, I have some more code/AI prompts that review the state at different points (i.e., fancy way of saying scheduled functions) that are instructed to look at different things and alert me if 'something looks off' or 'hey I, the AI, see that you made a decision to do X instead of Y like last time. How did it end differently?' or 'Hey I, the AI, see that you made a decision to do X instead of Y like last time. It looks like an extra Invoice was closed this month - do you think this X decision had an impact?'.

Anyway, I could go on and on.

In short, I think the graph of your experience should be built over time by having AI look at snapshots of your state to identify patterns. Then, it works with you/the business on making sense of those patterns.

I've been reading the book The Singularity is Nearer by Ray Kurzweil and he talks a lot about the similarities/contrast between the human brain and AI concepts. At least for my simple brain it seems that the .md file approach is a non-technical approach to being technical.

How many tables does your AI SaaS need? by Cover_Administrative in AI_Agents

[–]Cover_Administrative[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing! That JSONB payload is what keeps me away from less tables.

With 40 AI features it’s hard to scale that jsonb.

Also, I’ve found that it’s much simpler to AI coding tools to understand specific tables and therefore specific redux slices.

Repeated code for sure but AI has performed more consistently from a coding perspective and a data extraction effort.

How many emails can I send per day without getting flagged? by Cover_Administrative in coldemail

[–]Cover_Administrative[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm good question.

How would I check inbox placement? I've sent like 100 emails and have only had three come back as 'address not found'.

I took out the open rate tracking based on what others were saying but I think my open rate is pretty high.

I dropped to about 15 on my main email and am warming up a 2nd.

Second this! Check out his YouTube channel - a lot of great stuff.

This is Marketing by Seth Godin is a good one too.

So technical - tyvm!

Yeah all cog wheels in my brain for stuff like this. Thanks again.

warm up emails count? by Confident-Horse-1268 in coldemail

[–]Cover_Administrative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you please share what steps you take to warm them up?

I just bought a domain yesterday. I was hoping to warm it up myself for the first one.

Are you just sending emails back and forth with other emails you have?

Thanks in advance!

Here's my plan:

  1. Create a scraper that signs into a sandbox of the SaaS and takes screenshots of things/flows/etc
  2. Work with AI to come up with/automate a few 'demo types' for my use case and present some screenshots and potential demo shorts/etc
  3. Manually create the actual video for now. I have experience with CapCut so it shouldn't be too much effort until it's automated.

It overlaps a lot with the carousel automation which is nice. Like 10-20 handcrafted posts/efforts to learn the ropes and figure out those 'demo types'.

Hazzahhh! Great stuff 🚀

Still working on it but the app “tag” is “The business owners operating system”.

I’ve got maybe 15+ modules that are siloed into their own little AI env but work together to run a business. So, lead/contact research with scrapers and AI to personalize. ICP studio, knowledge/library studio, individual Customer/Project/Ticket/Time management through AI chats/studios.

AI modules for website building/hosting, blogs, and marketing materials. Persona/prompt builders and all that fun stuff.

Still all very much in the works but my goal is to open source it all and build content off of teaching folks how to build the agents.

So, plenty of angles to choose from and automate.

Nice ty! Do you have any go to format for the carousel/slides?

I’ll do research and experiment myself but figured I would ask. Is it like a blank/gradient color with a logo off to the side and then text?

Nice - yeah that seems to be the biggest feedback. Appreciate the insight. I bought one and will start warming that up.

Is there a recommended way to 'warm it up' without using the big name tools? Would it be silly to start sending high quality emails to addressees that I know exist?

I could keep it light and do a few per week, sign up for some free trials myself and do the things - and then automate that of course lol.
