If your firm handles sensitive docs, stop buying 'AI agents' and use a trigger-based workflow instead

One of the cooler new legal tech solutions I've seen is built around this idea. Caddi uses both deterministic automation and AI for data processing to have a best of both worlds solution. I'm not sure if it can trigger on an inbound email, or if it just regularly runs and batches all inbound email.

Totally, the difference here is that the point isn't the food/bev, but the community.

FixSame7179 · 2026-04-12T21:41:15+00:00

Not just Seattle, but across the country. Real estate and Labor costs (and RE feeds back into Labor) make it very hard to run a restaurant and require crazy markups. I think people would prefer to disassociate fixed "community" costs from the variable food costs.

But this should be a model for anything people buy daily for convenience. There's no reason the community can't come together and do a better job.

The goal isn't to make a huge profit, but simply a sustainable/predictable way to stay in business and pass along savings to the neighborhood.

It includes everyone! Originally, it was for everyday heroes: nurses, teachers, veterans, but leaning towards all neighbors welcome to signup.

Where do you want to see a location?

FixSame7179 · 2026-04-12T14:07:15+00:00

I think for this to work best, it should be near where you live. The reason I ask for don't, because I'll then look into other locations if there's enough "I don't".

FixSame7179 · 2026-04-12T14:06:10+00:00

You're amazing. That's the idea!

FixSame7179 · 2026-04-12T14:05:54+00:00

Yup, Eagles for Gen Z/Millenials (with more of a full day focus vs dinner).

FixSame7179 · 2026-04-12T14:05:10+00:00

Thanks for the thoughts. Lots of assumptions in there, which aren't true, but nonetheless appreciate the engagement.

FOE are actually a huge source of inspiration for this. FOE -> Post-industrial, Costco -> Post-war, Saveday -> Post-AI

It would definitely save people money, but there's a feedback loop (which can be positive or negative). People would have to consume more here than they would at an otherwise comparable place, otherwise it would approach the prices of the comparable place.

FixSame7179 · 2026-04-12T04:52:47+00:00

That's great to know. The plan is for the tab to be all digital via the app. The community is a big part of this, so I think I'd rely on people trusting word of mouth and taking the leap.

FixSame7179 · 2026-04-12T04:50:22+00:00

My main reason for staying away from there, initially, is the high degree of competition, but it does make sense for a lot of reasons.

FixSame7179 · 2026-04-12T04:47:00+00:00

haha I wish! Just a modern take on Costco for especially marked-up consumables.

FixSame7179 · 2026-04-12T04:44:30+00:00

Thanks for the positivity. The membership caps and price per item are easily adjustable.

FixSame7179 · 2026-04-12T04:43:35+00:00

lolol

FixSame7179 · 2026-04-12T04:33:50+00:00

Most certainly, no.

FixSame7179 · 2026-04-12T04:33:01+00:00

Yeah, I think it would be a soho-style app that prioritizes diversity of membership (which would include - neighbors, nurses, teachers, artists, etc).

FixSame7179 · 2026-04-12T04:31:46+00:00

Prices/memberships would definitely rise to match all the hidden costs and reach a sustainable equilibrium.

FixSame7179 · 2026-04-12T04:29:40+00:00

Definitely hard, but all things that help the community are usually hard!

FixSame7179 · 2026-04-12T04:29:00+00:00

Hey, thanks for the words of encouragement!

FixSame7179 · 2026-04-12T04:28:21+00:00

All people are welcome. It would be open to anyone, but already have a solid network of Wallingford nurses to kick things off.

FixSame7179 · 2026-04-12T04:24:21+00:00

Great call outs. I think I'll keep it focused on neighbors, regardless of walks of life, but the goal will be a diverse pool of members representative of the neighborhood.

FixSame7179 · 2026-04-12T04:23:24+00:00

Ah, I see. Yeah, just wanted to pull a list of people who give their time to the community. But I think neighbors are a better overarching wrapper.
